4:30 AM wake-ups, 40 pills, vegan meals and more: Biohacker Bryan Johnson's daily routine goes far beyond a $2 million price tag
Every day, while the world wakes up groggily to alarms and coffee, Bryan Johnson is already several steps ahead—quite literally in his $2 million-per-year race against time. The 47-year-old tech entrepreneur turned biohacker is on a relentless mission to defy aging, claiming a heart of a 37-year-old, lungs like an 18-year-old, and an obsession that's nothing short of monastic.
In a conversation with This Morning, But is his staggering daily routine—packed with lights, supplements, and science—really the blueprint to eternal youth?
The Morning Begins Before Sunrise
At 4:30 AM, Johnson starts his day not with coffee, but with a blast of 10,000 Lux light, resetting his circadian rhythm before sunrise even peeks over the horizon. He measures his body temperature through his ear, documents his fat-to-muscle ratios, and primes his body for a longevity-focused routine that would exhaust most athletes before breakfast.
Exercise, Oxygen, and 40 Pills a Day
By 5:30 AM, he’s in the gym for a full hour of high-intensity and endurance training, followed by 20 minutes in a sauna heated to a sweltering 200°F. Next comes six minutes of red and near-infrared light therapy, and a 90-minute session in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. According to Johnson, this oxygen therapy has helped regenerate blood vessels and drastically improved gut health.
He claims this precision-engineered lifestyle has reversed his biological age, making him “the most measured person in human history.”
Plant-Based Precision with a Dose of Supplements
Johnson’s diet is strictly vegan, save for collagen peptide supplements. He consumes 2,250 calories daily with a 10% caloric deficit, tracking every gram of fat, protein, and carbohydrate with surgical accuracy. Each meal includes a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and his final meal is done by 11 AM—after which he begins an 18-hour fast.
Before fasting, he downs approximately 40 supplements ranging from basic vitamins to more obscure compounds like calcium alpha-ketoglutarate.
Lights Off by 8:30 PM
Evenings are sacred for winding down. No late-night Netflix binges or midnight emails. Johnson journals before bed to clear his mind and sleeps precisely 8 hours and 34 minutes—another data point in his lifelong spreadsheet on youth.
Is It Working? And More Importantly, Is It Worth It?
With claims of organ rejuvenation and documented reductions in biological age, Johnson's protocol seems to deliver results—on paper, at least. But the question remains: is longevity worth $2 million a year, five hours a day, and a life lived by biometrics?
Critics argue that while fascinating, Johnson's lifestyle isn’t accessible to the average person, and the science behind some of his practices is still emerging. Yet, he continues, unfazed, documenting every heartbeat and breath like a man determined to outlive mortality itself.
