Summary
My guest today is Bryan Johnson, founder of Braintree that sold Venmo to PayPal/eBay for $800 million.
After experiencing many years of deep depression Bryan decided to venture out on an intense experiment with his latest project blueprint and his newest company, Kernel. He has for the past two years been eating the same meals, taking 105 supplements each day, and doing the same physical training to create a non-disputable baseline. Bryan's hope is to see if he could get into optimal health but also turn back his chronological age. I asked Bryan how long this experiment will go on and his answer is "forever".
A lot of people have an intense response to his experiment, but rather than dismissing it or throwing some superlatives at what he's doing, I thought it would be better to go in and try to understand and learn from him, his perspective. Bryan and his team at Kernel are collecting data, measuring over 200 health points, taking pictures of his organs, observing the brain under different circumstances and who knows maybe it's all information that can help us. Enjoy
