A self-proclaimed biohacker who has spent a whopping $2 million to ‘live forever’ has revealed some insane results after using oxygen therapy for the past 90 days.
Bryan Johnson is taking part in a lengthy and intense experimental medical program in the hope of ‘reversing aging’, and it’s safe to say it’s been a resounding success so far.
Whether it be following a strict diet or using his son’s blood, Johnson is doing everything possible to remain as young as possible.
While he may be in his late 40s, the biohacker has previously said his crazy experiment helped him achieve the ‘heart of 37-year-old’ and the ‘lung capacity of an 18-year-old’.

Recently, Johnson embarked on 90 days of using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a form of medical treatment where a patient breathes pure oxygen in a special chamber with increased air pressure, which allows the body to absorb significantly more oxygen.
Such extra oxygen can be beneficial in treating a variety of conditions, including wounds, infections and a lot of other sickness involved with that area of the body.
Johnson completed 60 sessions over the period of 90 days, all lasting 90 minutes in duration.
In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Johnson revealed he saw a 300 percent growth in blood vessels and a 1000 precent increase in akkermansia, which is linked to improved gut and metabolic health.
A marker for the chances of developing Alzheimer’s also declined by 28 percent as a result of Johnson using the oxygen therapy for the past three months.
The procedure also ‘transformed’ Johnson’s skin across his whole body, while his UV skin damage improved by around 10 percent.
Telomeres, which are located at the ends of chromosomes, are a significant indication of ‘biology age and health’, which were also measured during the experiment.
Johnson was found to have that of a ten-year-old, showing the incredible impact the oxygen therapy has had on his mission to ‘live forever’.
Some of the wild things Johnson has done to stay youthful has seen him receive much criticism online, including sharing his and his son’s ‘erection data’.
The data included the pair’s sleep efficiency, average erection quality, number of erection episodes and total duration.
Johnson achieved a better average erection quality with 94, while his son Talmage received a slightly lower 90 score.
The biohacker also had much better sleep efficiency, but had one less erection episode compared to Talmage.

Biohacker who spends $2,000,000 a year to ‘live forever’ is warned against trying to ‘cheat death’
Bryan Johnson is spending millions on ‘biohacking’ in a bid to never die but the ‘Father of Biohacking’ is warning him about his approach
An expert has warned Bryan Johnson about his quest to ‘biohack’ his body, reverse his biological age and cheat death.
Whether it be measuring his nighttime erections, using his son’s blood plasma or taking over 50 pills a day, Bryan Johnson is doing the most he can – and very much splashing the cash to match it – in a bid to try and reverse his age.
But is he losing sight of what really matters?
Well, Johnson has previously spoken out about having the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old and the lung capacity of an 18-year-old – the millions of dollars seemingly being put to good use to reverse his age.
However, Dave Asprey – known as the ‘Father of Biohacking – has spoken out in warning.
While telling the Post Johnson is ‘doing a service by helping all of us see that we can live longer than we think we can’ and not doubting ‘we need those outliers who are going to do things that most of us never will,’ Asprey notes he hopes Johnson ‘realizes that trying to cheat death only makes death stronger’.
Asprey warns there’s two groups of people with ‘very different energetics’ to both – one who ‘are abhorrent of death’ and ‘another […] that are seeking a vibrant, long life for as long as they want’.
Asprey reportedly sees Johnson as falling into the former – Johnson having said himself his goal is ‘Don’t die’ – as quoted by The Guardian.

Asprey himself is biohacking his age, but in a bid to live until 180 – championing the use of biohacking as a way to achieve a certain goal rather than simply to try and avoid death completely.
He voiced: “Working for the most conscious, vibrant life of service you can have – so that you can enjoy the age of youth and the wisdom of age – is the path to a more conscious, happier people and a greater society.”
UNILAD has contacted representatives for Bryan Johnson for comment.
And Johnson’s approach has been questioned by another expert too, GP, longevity expert and the brains behind health clinic HUM2N, Dr Mohammed Enayat – known as Dr E – previously telling UNILAD Johnson’s approach is ‘actually […] working for him’ – and it shows in the results. However, that doesn’t make it ‘realistic’ for other people to adopt both given the cost, but also the fact it’s not been tried or tested before.

The healthcare professional actually thinks there’s ‘definitely […] cause for concern’ because Johnson appears to be undergoing so many processes and putting so many things into his body at the same time with ‘no triaging’ – or using what scientists call ‘the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs’.
Dr E thinks the scientists and team who are working with Johnson are embarking on more of a ‘throwing the kitchen sink at it approach’ and Johnson has previously admitted himself the team ‘frequently make mistakes’ and are ‘stumbling into new things’ as they experiment with how to reduce his biological age.
Dr E worries this could come with a ‘risk’ of certain methods or drugs interacting negatively with one another in current ‘unknown ways’ given the ‘number of interventions that he’s doing that are overlapping’.

Biohacker who spends $2,000,000 a year to ‘live forever’ reveals concerning reason he has stopped taking longevity drug
Bryan Johnson and his team found the drug did ‘not justify’ what was happening to him
Biohacker Bryan Johnson has explained why he’s ditched a purported anti-ageing drug despite his ongoing efforts to try and ‘live forever’.
Johnson, who is 47 years old but claims to have the heart health of a 37-year-old, spends as much as $2 million a year on research and trials to try and reduce his biological age.
His efforts have included ‘editing’ his DNA and sharing blood with his family members, and he’s also described taking a cocktail of supplements and drugs to ward off ageing.

Among those drugs was rapamycin; a drug typically used to treat conditions such as cancer or lung diseases, but which has also been studied for its anti-ageing properties.
It was this latter use that Johnson was interested in as he took part in ‘almost 5 years of experimentation with this molecule for its longevity potential’.
However, in a post on Twitter shared in recent weeks, Johnson announced that he stopped taking rapamycin in September 2024.
The biohacker told his followers he’d been testing the drug in various different ways, switching up dosages and schedules to ‘optimize rejuvenation and limit side effects’.
But while pre-clinical trials revealed ‘immense potential’, Johnson revealed a concerning finding: the drug could actually have been speeding up the ageing process due to its side-effects.
Johnson listed the symptoms he’d experienced from taking the drug, including ‘intermittent skin/soft tissue infections, lipid abnormalities, glucose elevations, and increased resting heart rate’.

Research cited by the National Library of Medicine has indicated a link between a higher resting heart rate and increased risk of cardiovascular disease, meaning the symptom experienced by Johnson could have detrimental effects in the long term.
He went on to site research published in October that indicated rapamycin was ‘one of a handful of supposed longevity interventions to cause an increase/acceleration of aging in humans across 16 epigenetic aging clocks’.
With that in mind, Johnson explained: “My team and I came to the conclusion that the benefits of lifelong dosing of Rapamycin do not justify the hefty side-effects.
“With no other underlying causes identified, we suspected Rapamycin, and since dosage adjustments had no effect, we decided to discontinue it entirely.”
“Longevity research around these experimental compounds is constantly evolving, necessitating ongoing, close observation of the research and my biomarkers which my team and I do constantly,” he added.
Though Johnson has decided to stop using rapamycin, his mission to reverse ageing is ongoing, and he continues to shares insights and updates with his followers.

Biohacker who spends $2,000,000 a year to ‘live forever’ claimed this common pantry item was ‘better than Ozempic’
Bryan Johnson detailed why he believed the shopping staple is ‘one of the most powerful whole body foods’ that anyone can eat
Biohacker Bryan Johnson has claimed that one item that is staple in your kitchen can help shed weight.
Johnson is on a mission to slow down his aging and reportedly spends $2 million a year in a bid to ‘live forever’. He has claimed that one common pantry item is ‘better than Ozempic’ for losing weight.
As many of us know, Ozempic was approved in the US back in 2017 for use in adults with type 2 diabetes, but it hasn’t been approved for weight loss. Despite this, many celebrities have confessed to using it to shed pounds.
But Johnson thinks he’s found a much more readily available alternative that he claims is more effective.

While appearing as a guest on Derek Munro’s podcast, More Plates, More Dates, Johnson detailed how he believes extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is one of the ‘most powerful whole body foods’ you can eat.
Munro called up an interview that Johnson had with Steven Bartlett on The Diary Of A CEO podcast to flag that he previously has claimed extra virgin olive oil is ‘better than Ozempic‘ for weight-loss.
Explaining why he made that statement, Johnson said: “I said extra virgin olive oil is better then NR [Nicotinamide Riboside], cold plunge, heat therapy, your favorite podcast and something else… so I was being cheeky.”
Johnson previously highlighted a study on Twitter which found that people that regularly consumed olive oil for nine weeks lost on average 2.4lbs more than people who didn’t, while it also seemed to help lower blood pressure.
Johnson isn’t the only person to have started incorporating olive oil into their diet, with TV presenter Ryan Seacrest having also revealed that he takes a shot of olive oil every day to help with weight loss.
Abigail Roberts, a sports nutritionist at Bulk.com, explained why extra virgin olive oil is so good for our bodies – even telling GloucestershireLive that it is ‘one of the biggest superfoods’.
She explained: “This is because olive oil helps you lose weight because it is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids.
“These are known to help with weight loss by increasing your metabolism, reducing your appetite, and reducing your body fat.
“Studies have revealed a treatment group who were given extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) lost 80 percent more body fat than the control group who didn’t consume EVOO.
“In the long-term, olive oil continues to have positive effects on the body and keep the weight off or stable.”
