Bryan Johnson spends £1.6 million a year trying to reverse the ageing process and his latest experiment has seen him test the affects of “magic mushroom” trip on his biomarkers
Billionaire biohacker Bryan Johnson took five grams of magic mushrooms as part of an experiment and told fans afterwards: “I’m just so happy to be alive.” The tech tycoon, 48, dropped the dose of the psychedelic drugs to explore if it could help his bid to live forever.
Johnson, who featured in the Netflix documentary Don’t Die, spends £1.6million a year on his quest to reverse the ageing process and has a daily routine overseen by 30 doctors which he reckons has given him the skin, lungs and even erections of a younger man.
He said his latest experiment was to test 240 biomarkers to explore the affects of the hallucinogenic drugs on longevity. He said on X: “We’re casting this really wide net of can we catch anything that demonstrates some kind of rejuvenation or longevity affect?”
His Blueprint co-founder Kate Tolo took over his phone while he was high on the drug and updated his social media followers on the affects of the “hero dose”, which he mixed with orange juice and downed live on X.
She documented his trip on the social media platform, where she told fans after an hour: “Sense of time is definitely warped. He thinks more time has passed than it has. thinks he has peaked.
“Visual hallucinations are happening – my face and the trees ‘are alive’ and moving. As I am typing this he started giggling. He’s having a fantastic time.”
She later told his followers: “I had to collect a vial of his spit. It was not easy. We just hit “peak” and completed a few measurements: Brain scan, Blood pressure, Adrenal stress profile via saliva Lots of laughter… hard to stay on task. Keeps talking about the universe and how we’re all one. He wants to go back to his bed and “return to the playground.”
After getting his phone back, Johnson tweeted: “Hey all, I’m just so happy to be alive.” He later added: “Yes, this trip changed me. Probably not as you’d expect.
“People assume I am fearful of death. I’m not. In my darkest days of depression, I reconciled with death. Need a few days to collect my thoughts. Will share more soon.”
He went on in a later post: “Also much love to all of you. It weirdly feels like my consciousness is deeply intertwined with yours. Feels like family. You’re a***oles and terrible. You’re also…nah, just mostly a***oles and terrible. Still love you all anyways.”
The anti-ager, whose extreme regime has previously seen him inject himself with his teenage son’s blood and work from an oxygen chamber, has yet to fully report back his findings.
