Bryan Johnson is 45 years old but, according to a new report, his test results show he has the heart of a 37-year-old and the lungs of a young adult.

Johnson is a biotech entrepreneur who hopes to game nature's course of aging and have the organs and health of an 18-year-old by going through an intense data-driven experimental program he's called Project Blueprint.

According to a recent Bloomberg profile of the CEO, Johnson could spend up to $2 million on his body this year and there are early glimpses that show he may be on track to unlocking the secret to age reversal.

Test results from doctors suggest that Johnson has the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old, and the lung capacity of an 18-year-old, Bloomberg's Ashlee Vance reported.

The program is led by Oliver Zolman, a 29-year-old physician who calls himself the "rejuvenation doctor," and is supported by a team of more than 30 health experts, according to the report.

While it's still in its experimental stage and is constantly being tweaked, the health program consists of an intense daily regimen of carefully curated supplements, meals, exercise, and a slew of bodily tests.

Johnson's 5 a.m.-mornings for example start with two dozen supplements for all kinds of purported health benefits: lycopene, metformin, turmeric, zinc, and, for brain health, a small dose of lithium, among others.

His meals, a mix of solid and soft foods, are vegan and restricted to 1,977 calories a day. He exercises daily, with three high-intensity workouts a week, and goes through blood tests, MRIs, and colonoscopies each month, Bloomberg reported.

"What I do may sound extreme, but I'm trying to prove that self-harm and decay are not inevitable," Johnson told the outlet.

All of his efforts in 2021 have amounted to what Johnson claims to be a world record epigenetic age reversal of 5.1 years.

In certain aspects of his health, he's shown even younger signs of age. Doctors say he has the gum inflammation of a 17-year-old, and a device that tracks Johnson's rate of nighttime erections is like that of a teenager's, Bloomberg reported...............

Great! What could be more important than super rich people living for hundreds of years.

An asteroid the size of a delivery truck will narrowly pass by the Earth on Thursday — so close in fact that the encounter is expected to be one of the closest approaches by a near-Earth object on record, according to NASA.


The asteroid, which has been named 2023 BU, will travel just 2,200 miles (about 3,500 kilometers) above the planet’s surface, darting over the southern tip of South America at around 4:27 p.m. Pacific time, NASA estimated Wednesday.


NASA was quick to reassure people that the asteroid, which is estimated at between 11 feet (about 3.5 meters) and 28 feet (8.5 meters) feet across, would not end life as we know it on our planet.

“There is no risk of the asteroid impacting Earth,” NASA said, noting that even if it did, the small asteroid “would turn into a fireball and largely disintegrate harmlessly in the atmosphere.” The bigger pieces, scientists say, would then likely rain down as meteorites.


Amateur astronomer Gennadiy Borisov discovered the asteroid on Saturday from his observatory in Nauchnyi, Crimea, NASA said. In the days that followed, other astronomers also observed the asteroid, helping to refine the asteroid’s trajectory……

Is it just me or does it seem we've seen more than normal amount of close fly bys in the past few years.

In Time. Everyone has a countdown clock on their inner forearm that gets time deposits instead of money. Your clock doesn’t start until 25 years old I believe. You pay for everything with that time and it ticks down a second at a time. If it hits zero, you die.
