Tech mogul and anti-ageing architect Brian Johnson claims the strict rules have slowed down his biological clock, leading him to celebrate his birthday every 19 months.
In a YouTube video posted on Tuesday titled “The $16 a Day Diet to Live to Over 200,” Johnson, 46, revealed he has achieved a “personal best” in slowing down his aging process, putting his rate at “0.64.”
The biohacking billionaire claims that you only age 7.6 months “for every 12 months that pass” in a calendar year.
Johnson boasted that he and his team had “built” the food business in the same way they approached software development at his former company, Braintree, which he sold to PayPal for $800 million in 2012.
“When you develop software, you develop version 1, then you work your way to version 2, then version 3, and with each version it gets a little bit better as you remove the bad bits and add the good bits,” Johnson told his followers.
“I did the same thing with my diet.”
The California-based tech mogul said he and his team have looked at “all the scientific evidence” and implemented it into his “Blueprint” program, where “every calorie has to fight for life.”
Johnson took certain foods and supplements “for a while,” then his team evaluated how it was affecting his body, gradually making him “the most cautious person in history.”
The complete Blueprint product line sells for $361 on the company’s website, but Johnson boasts that his methods are “the best and easiest health regimen in the world” and says that all of his methods are available for free so anyone can take his steps and “replicate them for free.”
Johnson and his team at Blueprint disclose all of the ingredients in their products, and the tech mogul has criticized other supplement brands for not doing the same.
The Blueprint diet included vitamin powders and tablets, and initially involved taking “over 100 tablets a day” of vitamins and minerals, but the team has since streamlined that.
“The first thing I do when I wake up is drink Longevity Mix, which contains vitamin C, magnesium, calcium alpha-ketoglutarate, glycine and ashwagandha,” Johnson said.
Johnson is taking eight tablets as part of a “longevity mix” which he claims is suitable for “all ages and genders”.
Afterwards, he works out for an hour and eats breakfast, a super veggie dish made up of cauliflower, fresh broccoli, black lentils, garlic, ginger, hemp, and extra virgin olive oil.
Johnson said his “secret” products, made from ground vegetables, sometimes also include avocado and sprinkles.
He also consumes a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil with every meal, which he claims is essential to meeting the standards set out in the Blueprint program.
At her next meal, the biohacker eats a nut pudding and adds a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Johnson made headlines last year for his controversial method of trying to achieve eternal life.
He once received a blood transfusion from his teenage son in an attempt to make himself as biologically young as possible.
The biohacker spends about $2 million a year on his rejuvenation plan, which he calls “Project Blueprint.”
He also claimed in February that he was genetically predisposed to be bald, but had uniquely overcome both his baldness and grey hair.
“The best time to look after your hair is before you start losing it,” Johnson argued, urging her followers in their 20s to take preventative measures before their hair starts to thin and fall out.
