Bryan Johnson, the entrepreneur who sold his payment processing startup for around $800 million in 2013, has published a list of 41 things he learned after spending millions trying to reverse aging. The list, which he titled “everything learned spending millions on longevity,” covers sleep, diet, exercise, and mental health. Though reposts say he has spent up to $400 million on his mission, the shared advice feels something you would find in a health magazine.
Johnson says sleep is the most important factor, calling it “the world’s most powerful drug.” He recommends going to bed before midnight, avoiding screens an hour before sleep, and keeping the bedroom cold. His diet advice focuses on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, while telling people to stay away from added sugar, fried foods, and items commonly found in American convenience stores.
