I saw a Twitter thread about Bryan Johnson’s ‘Blueprint’, claiming that he’d made himself biologically younger with a highly optimised combination of diet, supplements and exercise. What could that mean? And should we all start chugging 25 pills a day to start on the Blueprint ourselves? Probably not…but the biology behind it is surprisingly interesting.

Max Hertan’s extremely retweeted thread on Twitter:
Bryan Johnson sold his company to PayPal for $800 million in 2013.
Since then, he’s been investing millions to reduce aging.
In 2021, he reduced his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in 7 months (World Record)
Here’s a breakdown of his “Blueprint” and my own experience with it: 🧵 pic.twitter.com/igFya5JLiz

My thread in response:
2500 retweets.
Let’s take a look at what this guy is claiming. Has Bryan really become five years younger in a matter of months? And does his strategy make sense?
