Billionaire Bryan Johnson, a prominent figure in the tech industry, recently shared his experience with experimenting on himself with magic mushrooms in a quest to combat aging. Johnson, aged 48, consumed a significant amount of psychedelic mushrooms to investigate their potential longevity benefits. He conducted a detailed analysis involving 240 biomarkers to study the impact of these hallucinogenic substances on extending lifespan.
Known for his appearance in the Netflix documentary “Don’t Die,” Johnson invests approximately £1.6 million annually in anti-aging efforts. He follows a strict regimen overseen by 30 medical professionals, which he believes has rejuvenated various aspects of his body, such as skin quality, lung function, and even sexual health.
During his experiment, Johnson, accompanied by his Blueprint co-founder Kate Tolo, publicly consumed a “hero dose” of magic mushrooms mixed with orange juice. Tolo provided live updates on social media, describing Johnson’s altered state and the effects of the drug, including distorted time perception and visual hallucinations.
Tolo later shared insights from the experience, mentioning the challenges of collecting biological samples from Johnson at the peak of his trip. Despite the light-hearted moments and philosophical musings during the experiment, Johnson expressed gratitude for life and hinted at personal reflections on mortality and human connection.
In subsequent posts, Johnson expressed affection for his audience and hinted at a profound sense of interconnectedness with others. Despite his unconventional methods, like infusing teenage blood or utilizing oxygen chambers, Johnson has yet to disclose the full extent of his findings from this latest experiment.
