What is Bryan Johnson's aim?
Bryan Johnson, a 46-year-old centimillionaire tech entrepreneur, has dedicated his life to defeating death through an elaborate regimen called Blueprint. The goal is to get his 46-year-old organs to look and act like 18-year-old organs.
In a recent interview with TIME, he said he consumes 111 pills daily. He also uses various health monitoring devices to track his progress. He wears a baseball cap that shoots red light into his scalp and collects his own stool samples, all to stay young and reduce his biological age.
Johnson believes that by outsourcing the management of his body to an algorithm, he can extend his life indefinitely and ultimately achieve immortality. However, many experts are sceptical of his claims, pointing out that death is an inherent part of human biology.
Imagine we lusted after human improvement as we do tech advance.

When did he begin?
In 2016, Johnson founded Kernel, a neurotechnology company. Kernel's primary goal is to measure brain activity and detect cognitive impairment early, with a side focus on measuring the age of his own brain.
Why does he wear a 'jet pack' below his waist?
Now, a report says that he allows only 3 items in his bedroom, where he spends the night. The three items are his bed, a laser face shield (meant to reduce facial wrinkles) and a 'jet pack' device to attach to his genitals to measure his nighttime erections, Time Magazine reported.

What does his day look like?
The tech millionaire starts the day with a "green giant" smoothie packed with ingredients like collagen, spermidine, and creatine, said the Fortune report. He eats dinner at 11 a.m. and drives himself in an electric Audi, albeit "extremely slowly," noting he was going 16 miles per hour on the streets of Los Angeles at one point.
Before he pulls out of his driveway, he utters his pre-driving mantra to himself: "Driving is the most dangerous thing we do," TIME reported. "What would be more beautiful irony than me getting hit by a bus and dying?" he says.
Johnson has swapped blood with his teenage son, takes more than 100 supplements a day and undergoes daily body fat scans and routine MRIs conducted by a team of 30 doctors, as per Fortune.
