What if a tech CEO could actually reverse aging? Bryan Johnson was biologically 45. Now tests show he's 18. And he's documenting everything.
In this episode, Adrian Wells breaks down the most extreme anti-aging experiment ever attempted. Johnson spends $2 million yearly on a protocol that's producing measurable results. We're talking blood transfusions from his teenage son, 100+ daily supplements, and medical procedures that sound like science fiction.
