Bryan Johnson, the Millionaire Biohacker Who Wants to Live Forever, Diagnosed with Incurable Autoimmune Disease

  • Biohacker Bryan Johnson revealed on Instagram he was diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis , describing the condition as his stomach "eating itself."
  • Johnson, the 48-year-old founder of Blueprint, blamed his childhood diet of fast food and soda, though experts note the exact cause of autoimmune conditions remains unknown.
  • Affecting an estimated 4% of people, AIG is notoriously difficult to diagnose; Johnson cited 11 years of low ferritin levels as a key indicator before confirming the condition via biopsies.
  • While standard medical care concedes defeat by only managing the disease, Johnson argued that in the "age of AI, multiomics, and custom-built DNA, proteins, and cells, no condition should be presumed incurable."
  • Despite experts warning that patients with the condition are 13 times more likely to develop neuroendocrine tumors, the "Don't Die" founder plans to "solve" his illness.
