A man has tested Bryan Johnson’s $2 million-a-year age reversing routine to see if it actually works, and the results may shock you.
Incase you haven't heard, the 47-year-old, from Utah, US, is spending $2 million (£1.6 million) a year to try and turn the clock on his biological age.
The venture capitalist, also known as a biohacker, became a very wealthy man just over ten years ago after he sold his payment gateway company Braintree Venmo to PayPal for a whopping $800 million (£642 million).

But ever since his health took a dip, Johnson has transitioned into a social media personality whose attempts to reverse the aging process through his company, Project Blueprint, are going viral.
His efforts to wind back the clock included fasting, a load of supplements, a strict workout routine and a plant-based diet.
Now, a member of the Freethink team decided to try out his extravagantly effective/boring routine, which has developed 'the world’s most measured human'.
And surprisingly, the man who gave it a go for a month in 2023 managed to reverse his age by three years.

"This guy spends $2 million a year in order to reverse his aging, and all the data he's found on how to slow or reverse aging, he's made public so you can actually copy his plan for a lot less money," he explained.
"We tried it for 30 days, and here's what we found. Mainly, it's boring.
"You're just eating the same thing over and over again, but it's frankly, nothing terribly unpleasant.
"The supplements are expensive, though we spent over $1,000 for a month's supply. And the exercise doesn't need to be anything crazy.

"I basically just walked for an hour a day after 30 days.
"My health, my weight and my energy levels all improved drastically, and according to a cellular aging test, I actually aged backwards by three years."
Meanwhile, as Johnson aims to 'maximally reverse' his quantified biological age, Netflix has made a documentary about him called Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever.
“It began when I was 21 years old. I was a missionary, and I lived among extreme poverty in Ecuador," he told PEOPLE. "I felt really compelled to want to do something that would improve the world. I didn't know what.

"So the goal became make a whole bunch of money by age 30, and then with that money, find something interesting to do."
