Bryan Johnson is an American venture capitalist, entrepreneur, and author. He is the founder and former CEO of Kernel, a company that creates devices that monitor and record brain activity. More than the companies he had founded and his venture capital investments, Bryan became immensely famous for his anti-aging attempts.

Recently, Bryan Johnson uploaded a video on his YouTube channel, where he candidly revealed that a major miscalculation had occurred involving a drug that he once believed was a cornerstone of his protocol: rapamycin. This immunosuppressant, originally developed for organ transplant patients, has now become rampant in anti-aging circles.

Johnson had been experimenting with rapamycin for over five years. What Johnson expected was rejuvenation, but what he got was surprisingly scary. He experienced mouth ulcers, slow-healing wounds, cholesterol imbalances, spikes in blood sugar, and most importantly, a significant uptick in his resting heart rate. It didn't take much time for Bryan to realize that the drug, instead of preserving youth, might have been fast-forwarding Johnson's time.

Johnson trolled himself by saying he is laughing alongside thousands of people who are witnessing his journey, even as he faces the very outcome he spent millions to avoid. Bryan Johnson had also admitted that he has stopped injecting the drug.
