凭借着世界上最雄厚的财力,富人和名人们可以尽情挥霍,竭尽全力地让自己永葆青春。

格温妮斯·帕特洛(Gwyneth Paltrow)最近在“健康的艺术”(The Art of Being Well)播客中透露,她会禁食到中午且午餐只吃鸡汤——在整个采访过程中,她一直在静脉滴注维生素。与此同时,黛米·摩尔(Demi Moore)也利用“训练有素的医用水蛭”帮她吸血“排毒”,而约翰·克里斯(John Cleese)则对干细胞疗法深信不疑。

不过有一位首席执行官的做法更加大胆。

科技企业家布莱恩·约翰逊最近招募了他17岁的儿子塔玛格(Talmage)和70岁的父亲理查德(Richard)加入他的“世界首个多代人换血项目”。

据彭博社(Bloomberg)报道,上月三人前往得克萨斯州一家医疗型水疗中心Resurgence Wellness,在那里小约翰逊被抽了整整1升血液(参考:人体大约含有5升血液),然后血液被分离成液体血浆、红细胞、白细胞和血小板。

接下来,布莱恩经历了同样的过程,并向静脉输注了等量的儿子的血浆。最后,这位大富翁的父亲抽出一些自己的血液来为布莱恩的年轻血液腾出空间。

美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)建议人们不要输注年轻的血液,因为“尚无令人信服的临床证据证明其有效性”,但约翰逊的医疗团队认为这种做法也许可以用来治疗认知衰退。

在传统医学中,血浆输注已被用于治疗肝脏疾病、烧伤和血液病等多种疾病,但并未被用作逆转衰老的一种手段。

这并非他的初次尝试

这已经不是布莱恩·约翰逊头一回试图通过往自己体内输注年轻的血液来逆转衰老了。

据彭博社报道,这位美国连续创业者此前曾输注过匿名年轻献血者的血液,他亲自筛选献血者以确保他们身体质量指数良好,没有疾病,并且拥有健康的生活方式。

这是约翰逊每年花费200万美元的抗衰老惯常举措之一,旨在实现他近年来发起的数据导向计划:“蓝图计划”(Project Blueprint)。

除输注年轻的血液外,约翰逊还执行严格的日常方案,包括监测自己的体脂率、心率变异性、血液、粪便样本以及每晚勃起的次数等。

另外,他每天早晨5点服用24种药,摄入1977“素食卡路里”,锻炼1小时,最后还要戴上防蓝光眼镜睡觉。

结果如何?他声称自己现在拥有37岁的心脏,28岁的皮肤以及18岁的肺活量。

尽管才获得初步数据,但约翰逊仍打算继续分享他的方法和经验,以便让其他人可以评价和受益于他的项目。

但对于没有充足财力置办医疗设施回家的大多数人来说,他们更有可能会好奇,约翰逊最初到底是怎么发财,从而负担得起这些昂贵的疗法的?(财富中文网)

With all the money in the world to spend, the rich and famous can afford to go to pretty extreme lengths to remain forever youthful.

Gwyneth Paltrow recently revealed on The Art of Being Well podcast that she fasts until noon and has only chicken broth for lunch—all the while hooked up to an IV vitamin drip for the entire interview. Meanwhile, Demi Moore has enlisted the help of “highly trained medical leeches” to suck and “detoxify” her blood, and John Cleese swears by stem cell therapy.

But there’s one CEO taking matters even further.

The tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson recently recruited his 17-year-old son, Talmage, and his 70-year-old father, Richard, to join him in “the world’s first multigenerational plasma exchange.”

Last month the trio headed to Resurgence Wellness, a medical spa in Texas where, according to Bloomberg, the youngest Johnson got a full liter of his blood removed (for context, the human body has about five liters of blood) and separated into a batch of liquid plasma and then a batch of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Next up, Bryan underwent the same process with the addition of having the same quantity of his son’s plasma infused into his veins. Finally, the multimillionaire’s father had some of his own blood drained to make room for Bryan’s good stuff.

The FDA advises against people infusing young blood because there’s “no compelling clinical evidence on its efficacy,” yet Johnson’s medical team approved the procedure as a possible treatment for cognitive decline.

In traditional medicine, plasma infusions are already used to treat a variety of conditions, including liver disease, burns, and blood disorders but not as a means to reverse aging.

Not his first rodeo

This isn’t the first time Bryan Johnson has had young blood pumped into his body to reverse aging.

The American serial entrepreneur previously received blood transfusions from young anonymous donors who, according to Bloomberg, Johnson personally screened to ensure they had an ideal body mass index, were free of diseases, and lived a healthy lifestyle.

It’s all a part of Johnson’s $2 million a year anti-aging routine for his latest data-driven venture, Project Blueprint.

As well as blood transfusions, Johnson follows a strict daily routine that includes monitoring his body fat, heart rate variability, blood, stool samples, and the number of erections he has per night.

Every day he also takes two dozen medicines at 5 a.m., consumes 1,977 “vegan calories,” and exercises for an hour before using blue-light-evasive glasses and hitting the hay.

The results? He claims to now have the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old, and the lung capacity of an 18-year-old.

While the data is preliminary, Johnson plans to continue sharing his methods and lessons so that others can evaluate and benefit from his work.

But the majority of people who don’t have the resources to have a medical facility in their home are more likely wondering how on earth did Johnson get rich enough to afford all these treatments in the first place?
