Biohacker Bryan Johnson makes headlines for mind-boggling experiment

Tech entrepreneur and age-reversal enthusiast Bryan Johnson has once again made headlines with his latest anti-ageing experiment: a radical new procedure called Total Plasma Exchange (TPE). At 47, Johnson has become notorious for his extreme and expensive efforts to reverse ageing, ranging from dietary regimens to cutting-edge medical interventions.

Recently, Johnson revealed that he underwent TPE, which replaces all his plasma with a protein-rich substitute called albumin. He claimed that the operator, who’s been doing TPE for nine years, said his plasma “is the cleanest he’s ever seen. By far. He couldn’t get over it. When we finished, he couldn’t bring himself to throw it away. He was imagining all the good that it could do in the world.”

Johnson shared his experience on social media, explaining that the treatment’s objective was to remove toxins from his body. He noted that the evidence supporting the procedure’s benefits is still emerging, but it has been used in medical settings to treat autoimmune disorders and other bloPE d-related issues. Johnson is scheduled to undergo six of these treatments in total as part of his latest anti-ageing regimen.

TPE involves removing the plasma from a patient’s blood and replacing it with albumin or fresh frozen plasma (FFP). Plasma, the liquid component of blood, carries vital nutrients, hormones, and proteins, and also contains waste products. During TPE, blood is drawn from the patient, the plasma is separated and discarded, and the remaining blood cells are mixed with the replacement fluid before being returned to the body.
