Bryan Johnson, the founder of KernelCo and Blueprint, has been making headlines for his extreme biohacking efforts to reduce his biological age. The 45-year-old entrepreneur has been spending a staggering $2 million a year on various controversial methods to achieve his goal. From injecting his 18-year-old son’s blood to adhering to a strict diet and sleep routine, and even sending shocks to his penis for longer-lasting erections, Johnson has left no stone unturned in his quest for youth and vitality.
Recently, Johnson took to X/Twitter to share a throwback snap of himself from 2018, alongside photos from 2023 and 2024. The striking transformation in his appearance over the years has not only caught the attention of his followers but also confused his Face ID. “Even my Face ID is confused,” Johnson wrote in his tweet, adding, “I’m transitioning…” The post has sparked a heated debate about the effectiveness and safety of his biohacking methods.
In a follow-up post, Johnson asked his followers to vote on when they thought he had “peaked” during his biohacking journey. The poll results revealed a divided opinion, with half of the voters suggesting he looked better in 2018, while 39.3 percent chose 2024 at the time of writing. The poll has ignited a discussion about the perceived success of Johnson’s efforts and the impact of his methods on his overall health and appearance.
The debate surrounding Johnson’s biohacking journey has been further fueled by the reactions and comments from his followers on X/Twitter. Some users have expressed their preference for his 2018 look, with one stating, “It’s so crazy how you looked better in 2018.” Others have come to his defense, arguing that while he may not have looked healthy in 2023, his 2024 appearance shows improvement. The divided opinions highlight the controversial nature of Johnson’s methods and the ongoing debate about the merits and risks of extreme biohacking.
