My objective at Blueprint is to demonstrate aging escape
velocity using the best science trying to do all the appropriate
interventions to neutralize my aging process.
>> That's 45-year-old Brian Johnson, a wealthy businessman in Venice,
California who is insanely afraid of getting old.
Now again, he's only 45.
But this year alone, he has spent $2 million
on treatments to slow his body from aging.
And has it actually resulted in what he is seeking?
The answer is no, I mean, you saw him in the video, but I'm sorry,
the dude's 45, I think he looks older than 45.
>> Don't say he's gonna lose his mind.
>> He's gonna lose his gonna lose his mind, but like-
>> He's gonna spent 20 million next year.
>> I know, but the reason why is cuz he's stress ages you, and
if you're super stressed about aging, you're gonna age, just relax bro.
And he's doing things.
Rich people are so crazy, man.
He's torturing himself, day in and day out.
If I were rich, you know what I would do, I would
eat at a different fancy restaurant every single night of the week, okay?
>> Don't get me started.
I'll do a whole hour on what I would do if I was rich, okay?
>> My God.
>> So no, no, Anna you nailed it brother man,
the way to not age so badly is to not stress so much.
>> Yeah. >> And good news for you,
you're incredibly wealthy, that you're spending $2 million on
doctors when you don't need to spend a dime on them, right?
>> Yeah. >> And so
why don't you spend the $2 million having the time of your life, and
you'll live much longer?
>> Go to Hawaii, you'll look rested, you'll get a nice tan, you'll feel, but
I don't know.
Or maybe he's afraid of getting any sun.
[LAUGH] The sun might age him.
Okay, let's get to the details of what he's putting himself through.
So the treatments that he gets range from electromagnetic
pulses to improve the muscles in his pelvic floor to a device
calculating the number of erections he has per night.
>> [LAUGH] Thank God.
>> Thank God.
>> By the way, does that really have anything to do with aging?
I don't know, maybe it does.
But, okay, let me continue.
Johnson also routinely has MRIs and his body fat heart rate,
variability and blood and stool samples examined.
Johnson who has a medical facility in his own homes, wow,
sounds like a blast, also adheres to a hyper strict exercise and
eating ritual, not a diet, a ritual,
taking two dozen supplements/other medicines at 5AM each day,
consuming 1977 vegan calories a day, exercising for an hour,
and hitting the hay at the same time after using blue light evasive glasses,
which I don't know what that is, but he uses them.
>> No, no, no, brother.
Look, you are the most stressed man in America.
>> 100%. >> You're killing yourself.
It's the most ironic thing I've ever seen.
>> Cuz money is supposed to buy you a life of less stress.
>> Peace of mind.
>> Yeah, peace of mind, exactly.
>> Yeah, and this guy, he's like, okay, no, I screwed up today.
I had 1,976 vegan calories instead of 1,977 vegan calories.
No, I went three calories over.
I had 1,979 vegan calories is the one that, are you kidding me dog?
Are you kidding me?
>> I will say I watched, Not a lot,
just a little bit of video of him working out, and he's ripped, right?
>> If that dude's not ripped, he's doing everything wrong,
you gotta at least be ripped after all that.
>> But to me, it seems as though, look, I'm sure he wants to look ripped.
But it seems like the thing that he's most afraid of is his body aging where he
starts experiencing ailments, which is just,
I get it, I'm afraid of those things too.
But it's just a part of life, you're not gonna live forever.
Now, are these treatments working?
>> No.
>> Okay, hold on.
>> Okay. [LAUGH]
>> First off,
who's the lead doctor doing these treatments on him?
The 29-year-old lead doctor and
regenerative medicine physician on the project on the project is Oliver Zolman.
>> Guilty.
>> He's dedicated to help reverse the aging process
in every one of Johnson's organs.
>> Every one of his organs.
>> Hold on.
>> Maybe that explains the measuring at night.
>> Maybe, and charges up to $1,000 an hour for
patients interested in the vast testing that Johnson participates in.
So are the treatment's working?
Here's a quote from the doctor himself, we have not achieved any remarkable results.
In Brian, we have achieved small reasonable results, and
it's to be expected, is it?
Is it to be expected?
I feel like this guy is not expecting small reasonable results.
I feel like this guy is expecting to never age, live forever, and
especially considering what he's putting himself through every single, that can't
be healthy to take that many vitamins at 5 in the morning, every single.
He takes 24 supplements every day.
>> Okay, this is me talking to Dr Zolman about this same thing.
All right, so you're gonna have to get up at 5 in the morning, wrong.
Okay, [LAUGH] you're gonna have to eat exactly what, I'm obsessed.
How do you eat exactly 1,977 calories.
Here's how you do it by eating very,
very specific things every single day until your life is ruined.
>> Yeah, not switching it.
Guys, what is the point of life?
Ask yourselves that, okay?
>> Yes. >> The point of life is to enjoy food,
enjoy time with friends and family and honestly, that's it.
That's it.
And travel.
That's it.
That's the only real point to life.
>> Yeah, this guy's absolutely ruining his life because he's not enjoying it at all.
>> Right. >> And
so look, I'm kidding around about Dr Zolman being guilty.
Look, he wants to pay somebody a lot of money, there's gonna be a doctor who steps
up and says, I'm gonna- >> No, Zolman is hustling.
This is what he does, yeah.
Respect, game recognizes the right game, okay?
You go get him.
Yeah.
And it was a good quote from Dr Zolman.
>> He was honest.
>> Yeah, and he was, look, that gives him credibility.
If he said, yeah, he's 20 years younger, he'd be quackery, right?
So, all right, well played, well played.
Okay, so, look, brother Mr Johnson, here's my answer to you.
It's called a joint.
Look into it.
>> His head just exploded.
>> I know, dude, smoke with us one night, you'll never go back.
>> No, I don't wanna smoke with that guy.
>> Okay, I know.
[CROSSTALK] Are you kidding me?
How many vegan galleries is this?
This is a nightmare.
This is gonna affect all my blue rays, whatever.
He would make me so paranoid, I'd be like, my God, am I gonna die tomorrow?
>> Totally, my God, if he got high, never mind, I withdraw the offer.
If he got high, he'd be like, do I look 45?
Do I look 44?
Do I look 34?
Do I look 46?
[SOUND] Okay dude, take it easy, Take it easy.
Try enjoying your life.
You'll be a lot less stressed, and I guarantee you'll live longer.
>> So I wanna go to the last graphic here because the story about this guy was
originally reported by Bloomberg.
When Bloomberg reporter, Ashley Vance visited Johnson's home,
He writes quote, he could have been mistaken for a big swollen porcelain doll.
He had recently undergone a fat injecting face procedure,
which he says will help him accumulate more youthful cells.
>> Will it?
>> No, you know what injecting fat in your face does?
It makes your face look less sunken in because you're only eating
a limited amount of calories every day and exercising like crazy.
That's why, so that's what it really is.
It's not going to regenerate cells in your face, okay?
It's just gonna make your face look a little more full and not sunken in.
Though that procedure led to an allergic reaction, it didn't work out for him.
>> Yeah, of course, okay- >> Imagine being allergic to your own fat.
>> Well, [LAUGH] which leads me to my final conclusion,
which is I have now found the very last thing on my priority list,
injecting fat cells into my face, okay?
We are not doing that okay.
[LAUGH] l If that's what you think you have to do to stay healthy,
you're doing it wrong.
>> Yeah, yeah, and just you gotta live life, man.
Wealth is wasted on the rich.
>> Bingo.
>> I see it all the time.
I'll give you another quick example,
this beautiful dream house close to where I live that Christian, and
I would walk past it time to time, and we would fantasize about one day buying it.
So it was recently on the market, someone bought it, and today you wanna know what I
saw in the front beautiful home, one of the oldest homes in the neighborhood,
which is what I love about it.
So unique, it has character, demolition sign.
>> They're gonna tear it down.
>> Of course.
>> Money is wasted on the rich.
>> And, by the way, they're gonna stress out rebuilding it.
They're gonna build.
I know they're gonna build one of two things.
Either a giant box.
>> That's right.
>> Prefab box, that's too big for the lot, or
they're gonna build another farmhouse in freaking southern California.
I can't stand the farmhouse, actually the farmhouses offend me the most.
We're not winning with the farmhouses.
>> [LAUGH] It's so random.
>> I hate them.
I hate them so much, anyway- >> Okay, I got news for you.
There are no farms here, okay?
Anyways, stress adds more years, takes away more years
from your life than anything else by an order of magnitude.
Unless you're consuming radiation, right?
So I have to be like- >> I think MRI's involve radiation.
Yeah- >> And he's getting MRIs all the time.
>> I don't know.
But this guy, his life is so miserable.
I promise you guys this, if I get wealthy, I'll speak for myself, dancing every day.
>> Literally?
>> [MUSIC]
Okay, no, no, and by the way, you know what will come for me first lefters,
right?
They'd be like, you can't have money.
That's unfair and ridiculous.
You should all give away all of your money and be poor, so
you can't help anyone else.
>> Yeah. >> And I'm gonna say to them
[MUSIC]
>> No, no, we still have a little bit of time.
Let's keep fantasizing.
>> [LAUGH] >> One of our producers for
the main show is in Philly.
If I were rich, I would fly her out every week, and then
fly her back if she wants to go back for the weekends and stuff if she wants it.
>> And we would allow her, we'd give her a budget for
food, you can go past 1977 calories all you want.
>> Every morning, the production meeting would be at a different fancy restaurant.
We would do the meetings in the fancy restaurants.
>> That sounds so good.
[LAUGH] >> Can't let that happen.
>> No let's- >> No, no.
