Tech millionaire and biohacker Bryan Johnson appeared on This Morning (ITV, June 11, 2025), sharing the details of his radical longevity routine, a program so intense it includes over 50 supplements daily, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and even plasma infusions. But behind the headlines is a surprisingly practical message about how all of us can improve our health and slow aging.
Here’s what he revealed — and what you can take away from it.
Bryan Johnson this morning full interview
From Burnout to Biohacker
Before he became known as “the man trying to live forever,” Johnson was an overworked entrepreneur. He described his past self as obese, depressed, and deeply unhappy.
“Culture tells us to martyr our health to achieve financial success — and that leads to all sorts of problems.”
That realization pushed him to ask a bold question: What happens if you apply the best science in the world, every single day?
A 5-Hour Daily Routine to Stay Young
Johnson now calls himself a “professional rejuvenation athlete.” He spends up to five hours a day following his strict protocol. Here’s what a typical morning looks like:
- 4:30 AM wake-up
- Light therapy and core body temperature check
- One hour of exercise
- 20-minute sauna
- 90 minutes of hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- Red and near-infrared light exposure
- A plant-heavy diet with vegetables, berries, nuts, and olive oil
“I’ve become the most measured person in human history.”
Despite the intensity, Johnson says the routine brings him joy. “I love the training. I love the science. I love sharing what we learn,” he said.
Biological Age Isn’t One Number
Johnson says you’re not just one age, you’re hundreds of ages, depending on your organs. For example:
- His heart is biologically in its 30s
- His diaphragm is aged 18
- His left ear is 64 (due to past exposure to loud noise)
- His rectum is… unusually young
He tracks over 100 health markers, including nighttime arousal, to measure the health of specific systems. Using the most clinically validated biomarkers, he claims to be aging at a rate of 0.50 — meaning for every 12 months that pass, his body only ages 6.
The Real Story Behind the Plasma Infusions
Much attention has focused on Johnson injecting his son’s plasma, but he clarified that the origin of the story was about helping his father, who was suffering from cognitive decline.
“It was never about vanity. It started as an experiment to help my dad.”
His father reportedly saw a 25-year reduction in biological age markers after plasma treatment. His son volunteered later, turning it into a three-generation experiment — not the headline-grabbing stunt it appeared to be.
What You Can Actually Do Without Spending Millions
Not everyone can afford Bryan Johnson’s lifestyle. But according to him, the best longevity hack is free:
Measure and lower your resting heart rate.
Here’s how to do it:
- Before bed, measure your resting heart rate (count beats for 6 seconds, multiply by 10).
- Eat earlier and lighter in the evening.
- Avoid screens an hour before bed.
- Practice calming habits — reading, breathwork, or meditation.
“Everything that lowers your heart rate is good. Everything that raises it is bad.”
He believes this simple metric reflects stress, diet, sleep quality, and daily habits — and it can be life-changing.
Is There Any Room for Fun?
Surprisingly, yes. Johnson shared that he recently went to two raves in Sweden, wearing custom earplugs and monitoring sound levels. It’s not about restriction — it’s about informed, intentional choices.
“I love dancing. I just make sure it’s safe.”
Final Thoughts
While his protocol may seem extreme, Bryan Johnson’s message isn’t just for millionaires. It’s about taking ownership of your health, using data to guide habits, and embracing a future where aging isn’t inevitable.
He’s not just chasing youth, he’s chasing optimization.
