一家科技公司的首席執(zhí)行官布萊恩·約翰遜最近在接受《財(cái)富》雜志采訪時(shí)表示,希望自己能夠長壽,可以享受更多生活的饋贈(zèng)。約翰遜耗資200萬美元的逆轉(zhuǎn)衰老養(yǎng)生法引起了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的關(guān)注。
約翰遜說:“我熱愛生活。如果我們能夠證明衰老過程可以延緩和逆轉(zhuǎn),這將改變整個(gè)人類的進(jìn)程。”據(jù)他的醫(yī)生團(tuán)隊(duì)表示,他通過嚴(yán)格的醫(yī)學(xué)干預(yù),擁有37歲的心臟、28歲的皮膚和18歲的肺功能。
他說:“我害怕死亡嗎?當(dāng)然不是。”
約翰遜稱,他在幾年前學(xué)會(huì)了開飛機(jī),并取得了飛行執(zhí)照。

布萊恩·約翰遜的日常生活
為了逆轉(zhuǎn)衰老進(jìn)程,在從營養(yǎng)師到磁共振成像(MRI)專家等30人組成的團(tuán)隊(duì)幫助下,對(duì)長壽的癡迷讓約翰遜堅(jiān)持遵守嚴(yán)格的生活方式。他每天進(jìn)行人體脂肪掃描,定期接受磁共振掃描,并且經(jīng)常進(jìn)行侵入性血液和糞便樣本檢測,以確定他的器官的生物學(xué)年齡。
約翰遜表示,他每天有100種不同的方案。約翰遜每天精確攝入1,977卡路里,每個(gè)月攝入超過70磅蔬菜。他的早餐是西蘭花、菜花、黑豆、蘑菇、大蒜和姜的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)組合,午餐是包含堅(jiān)果和漿果的“堅(jiān)果布丁”,晚餐是蔬菜、漿果、堅(jiān)果和種籽(以及15克100%黑巧克力和30毫升特級(jí)初榨橄欖油)。約翰遜承認(rèn)為了符合這個(gè)飲食標(biāo)準(zhǔn),他已經(jīng)戒掉了每天飲三盎司紅酒的習(xí)慣。
約翰遜每天早上4:30起床,完成35種不同鍛煉,并服用各種膳食補(bǔ)充劑。這是他的藍(lán)圖計(jì)劃(Blueprint Project)的一部分。約翰遜會(huì)通過測量器官的健康狀況,確定自己衰老的速度。他表示計(jì)劃一直堅(jiān)持這種養(yǎng)生方法。
“一次行走實(shí)驗(yàn)”
但現(xiàn)有數(shù)據(jù)以及約翰遜的努力對(duì)生物學(xué)年齡的影響,都屬于初步結(jié)果。
雖然衰老和長壽專家認(rèn)為約翰遜的承諾很有吸引力,但他們擔(dān)心的是遵守這種生活方式的紀(jì)律水平和資金要求,而且支持他的選擇的科學(xué)理論有限。
長壽專家和Blue Zones LLC的創(chuàng)始人丹·比特納之前曾經(jīng)對(duì)《財(cái)富》雜志表示,從許多方面來看,約翰遜的努力都是“一次行走實(shí)驗(yàn)”。他指出,約翰遜現(xiàn)在依舊“值得關(guān)注”,盡管十年后的成果可能更加豐碩。

但關(guān)于約翰遜的做法能否成功,比特納似乎并不擔(dān)心這種不確定性。他表示:“目前數(shù)以萬計(jì)的科學(xué)出版物和真正努力的付出,能否找到隱藏的不老秘訣?”
身價(jià)豐厚的約翰遜并不介意成為實(shí)驗(yàn)品。

In a recent Fortune?interview, tech CEO Byran Johnson—whose $2 million reverse aging regimen caught the internet’s attention—says he wants to live long to enjoy more of what life offers.
“I love life,” Johnson says, whose rigid medical interventions have given him the heart health of a 37-year-old, skin of a 28-year-old and lung capacity of an 18-year-old, according to his team of doctors. “If we can dramatically show that aging can be slowed and reversed, it would change everything for the human race.”
He adds: “Am I scared of dying? No.”
A few years ago, Johnson says he learned to fly a plane, receiving his flying license.
“It was stunning to me how well the autopilot flew the plane,” he says. “I wondered, could I build an autopilot for me and my body.” In order to do that, he has put faith on medicine and technology.
Bryan Johnson’s daily routine
His fascination led him to adhere to a strict approach with the goal of reversing aging with the help of a team of 30 from nutritionists to MRI specialists. He undergoes daily body fat scans, routine MRIs, and often, invasive blood and stool sample tests to see the biological age of his organs.
He has 100 different protocols embedded in his day, he says. Johnson consumes a precise 1,977 calories a day, and over 70 pounds of vegetables a month. His breakfast is a standard mix of broccoli, cauliflower, black lentils, mushroom, garlic, and ginger, followed by a meal of “nutty pudding” with nuts and berries, and finally, a meal of vegetables, berries, nuts, and seeds (along with 15 grams of 100% dark chocolate and 30 milliliters of extra virgin olive oil). He admits to ending his three ounces of red wine a day he used to consume in order to meet the metrics.
With a wakeup at 4:30 each morning, Johnson completes 35 different exercises and takes a list of supplements. It has all been a part of his Blueprint Project, where he measures the health of his organs to determine his rate of aging. He says he plans to continue this regimen forever.
“A walking experiment”
But the data, and the effect his endeavors have on his biological age, is preliminary.
While aging and longevity experts find Johnson’s commitment fascinating, they say it poses a concern given the level of discipline and money required to upkeep the routine—not to mention, the limited science available to back up his choices.
In many ways, he is “a walking experiment,” Dan Buettner, longevity expert and founder of Blue Zones LLC, previously told?Fortune. He adds that he is still “worth paying attention to,” although results in a decade from now will prove more fruitful.
“I applaud anybody who’s tried to use science to live longer…eventually, there’s going to be an intervention that’s going to represent a big leap in life expectancy,” he says. “I don’t think it’s here yet.”
But the uncertainty of whether or not Johnson’s approach will succeed doesn’t seem to bother him. “Is the fountain of youth here right now hiding in tens of thousands of scientific publications and really hard work?” he says.
The wealthy CEO does not mind being the guinea pig.
“Let’s play an infinite game together,” he tells Fortune. “None of this stems from fear; it all comes from an absolute joy for life and a belief that there are majestic things that await us in our next evolution.”
