Summary

Bryan Johnson, a 46-year-old tech multimillionaire focused on anti-aging, stopped using rapamycin—a supplement he took for five years—after research suggested it might accelerate aging.

Johnson cited side effects like skin infections and glucose issues, as well as findings from a recent study showing rapamycin could worsen epigenetic aging.

Known for extreme anti-aging experiments, Johnson also created the health startup Blueprint, which markets pricey supplements.

His controversial methods, including teenage blood transfusions and genital shock treatments, have raised skepticism about their effectiveness and safety.

    Rapamycin

    It’s not just “one of many” it was the big one that has a large online following swearing by it, and lots of idiots taking it.

    Also I can’t see a pic of this guy without thinking of Dennis Reynolds asking if he should wear a mask of his own face.

      Every time I think of Dennis Reynolds, I’m reminded of the episode where he tries to sell his car that got stuck in water, and he berates the guy for mentioning how the car isn’t even runnable.
