Millionaire Bryan Johnson thinks he is stronger than death. The American entrepreneur, who made his fortune in online payments, invests around two million dollars each year to try to reverse his natural aging. The businessman is not afraid to play the guinea pig by testing innovative treatments, even if it means putting his health at risk. His last experience went particularly badly, as reported Madame Figaro .
On Instagram, Bryan Johnson first explains that his low-calorie diet, supposed to help him slow down his aging, had made him particularly thin. “My biomarkers were improving, but I seemed offhe says. People thought I was about to die.”.
Rather than changing his eating habits, the 47-year-old American then had the brilliant idea of injecting an extracellular matrix derived from fat into his face. Not having enough fat on his body himself, he called on a donor.
Blood transfusions from his son
However, the operation did not go as planned. “Immediately after the injections, my face started to explodehe assures. And then it got worse, worse and worse, until I couldn't even see. It was a serious allergic reaction.”. Bryan Johnson accompanied his Instagram post with several photographs in which he appears with an extremely swollen face. Fortunately for him, his face returned to its usual appearance after a week.
This is not the first time that the entrepreneur has played sorcerer's apprentice with his own body. A few years ago, he already made headlines by having a blood transfusion from his own son, then 17 years old. As recalled La Dépêche du Midi he has repeatedly clearly stated his objective: to return his body to the state of that of an 18-year-old individual.
According to him, his treatments have already partly worked since he claims to have the heart of a 37-year-old man, the skin of a thirty-year-old, the lungs of a young adult and even the gums of a teenager.
