"Live forever": Millionaire admits he took his goal "too far"

The former leader of Kernel, founder and CEO of Braintree and creator of the "Project Blueprint" initiative shared a post in which he claims to have taken some time to reflect on what has been his goal for the last few years, noting that he may be considering abandoning the purpose he had set for himself.

"I've been thinking about things and wondering if I've taken this longevity issue too far," he wrote in the post shared on Bryan Johnson's page.

been thinking things over and wonder if i’ve taken this whole longevity thing too far

Despite the publication, Bryan Johnson didn't take long to show that he continues to resort to non-traditional methods to prolong his life. A day later, in another post shared on his page on the social network X, the millionaire stated that he keeps around 10 ml of his girlfriend, Kate Tolo's menstrual blood, in his freezer.

"Menstrual blood is valuable and underutilized," Johnson wrote, explaining that the sample provided by Kate during her last menstrual cycle contains endometrial cells, immune cells and stem cells. According to him, this allows data to be obtained directly from the uterus without the need for surgical intervention. "I like that Kate is a science experiment with me," Johnson noted.

Bryan John admits he has an autoimmune disease

The multimillionaire made a post on the social network X at the beginning of July in which he revealed that he had autoimmune gastritis, a chronic disease that can cause iron and vitamin B12 deficiency and, consequently, lead to anemia.

In the long publication, Johnson states that between 2% and 5% of the population suffers from the disease and, although he does not know how long he has had autoimmune gastritis, he promises to try to cure it, describing the entire process he is developing, together with his team, with this objective.

In a more personal reflection, Johnson talks about the importance of health and the way we relate to the people we love most.

"We fill our days mostly with things that are trivial compared to what really matters to us. We know deep down that in all the noise, health is easily forgotten until it becomes the only thing that matters," Johnson wrote.

"I wish you all the best. Take care of yourselves, others, the planet and our animal friends. Take care of life, as it is the most precious gift there is."

Bad news #1: I have an autoimmune disease. My stomach is eating itself. Bad news #2: 2–5% of people have this, too. Likely more, because it hides.Good news: I'm going to try and solve it. Will share all.As a kid, I even sugar cereal, drank sugary soda, and gobbled down… pic.twitter.com/EbJ8a916uS
