Remember Brian Johnson, the 47-year-old venture capitalist who wants to stay as young as possible and as long as possible? A man who uses his stuff son’s blood In that effort? Well, he has a line of supplements. And he said it was the bee’s knees.
“I spent $50,000 testing food for heavy metal, toxin, and nutrient levels in the last month alone, and I can confirm what Mr. Chamas is saying: America’s food supply is terribly unhealthy,” Johnson said. I wrote it. Sunday X.
Chamath in this case refers to Chamath Palihapitiya, a venture capitalist and co-host of the podcast “All In,” who said last weekend that food is healthier in Italy than in the United States. I wrote about what I thought was the case. Something that’s low in fat and calories, which isn’t what you were eating. Palihapitiya believes there is something more insidious going on with the U.S. food supply. And Johnson used the opportunity to promote his own supplement brand, known as. blueprint.
“It took us (Blueprint) 18 months to vet every vendor, test every ingredient, and build out the entire food supply chain,” Johnson continued. “All third-party lab results are publicly shared. It’s such a relief to know what I’m putting into my body. What we’re testing for is far worse. It is worth noting that it is a “healthy” ingredient, rather than fast food or junk food, which you might think. ”
Johnson, who made money selling his company Braintree to PayPal in 2013, is obsessed with aging, to say the least. And it’s no surprise that a man of extreme wealth (Johnson is worth an estimated $400 million) emerges. luck) he decides he wants to live forever. However, such types of people are usually bound by their own experiences. By all accounts, Johnson seems to be on a mission to spread his ideas far and wide, selling supplements and powders in the process, including:longevity mix” tablets containing Red malt rice with garlic.
If you can believe it, there’s even a Donald Trump connection to Johnson’s efforts. On Friday, Johnson posted: my own photo Interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He is the person tasked with overseeing all of the incoming Trump administration’s health programs, from the Department of Agriculture to the Food and Drug Administration.

Johnson wrote “MAHA,” which stands for “Make America Healthy Again.” And he really seems to think so. When asked about the meeting in the X comments, Mr Johnson said that he and Mr Kennedy had:I exercised, ate nutty pudding, and completed a biological age test. ”Nutty Pudding, of course, is a product that Johnson sells on his website.
It is unclear what influence Johnson and his ideas of eternal life might have on the federal government, especially if he is friends with Kennedy. Will Medicare stop paying for life-saving cancer drugs so we can all take brain pills and longevity powders? This idea would have been cartoonishly ridiculous before last week’s presidential election. But with President Trump returning to the White House on January 20, 2025, and President Kennedy planning to bring a motley crew of alternative health weirdos with him, it’s unclear what will happen at this point.
Attempts to contact Johnson through his website did not immediately result in a response. Gizmodo will update this post if we receive a response.
