How far would you go to defy aging and even cheat death? Bryan Johnson, a 47-year-old tech millionaire, is on a mission to discover. Johnson, appearing alongside his 19-year-old son Talmage in the Netflix documentary “Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever,” Johnson exposes the extreme lifestyle he believes is the key to immortality.
For Johnson, everlasting life is just not only a distant dream – it’s a practical pursuit. “Eternal life and life tomorrow are similar concepts. I really need to live tomorrow. And when tomorrow comes, I imagine that I probably want to live tomorrow,” he explained.
The father and son duo lead a rigid lifestyle that starts at 5 a.m. and ends with the lights turning off at 8:30 p.m. Their day by day weight-reduction plan features a vegan weight-reduction plan of vegetables, nuts, seeds and berries, rigorously calibrated to provide 2,250 calories, 130 grams of protein, 206 carbohydrates and 101 grams of fat. The workouts are an hour-long mix of strength, cardio, flexibility and balance. Before bed, Johnson boasts a resting heart rate of 47-49 beats per minute.
“Talmage sees me as his future self, and I see Talmage as his past self,” Johnson said in the documentary. The interviewer joked, “I thought you were saying you saw Talmage as your future self.” Johnson chuckled: “In many ways, that’s true.”
Beyond weight-reduction plan and exercise, Johnson believes “perfect sleep” has been a game changer. He sticks to strict habits: no caffeine, no alcohol, no large meals before bed, and a consistent evening ritual of calm down. “High-quality sleep has changed my life,” he said, emphasizing its role in slowing down the aging process.
Johnson and Talmage’s involvement includes experimental practices, including a highly publicized multigenerational plasma exchange in 2023 involving Johnson’s 71-year-old father. The procedure has sparked debate about how far people will go to stay young.
Through his rigorous lifestyle and line of supplements, Blueprint Johnson goals to not only extend life, but in addition redefine it.
