After the sale of Braintree, Johnson shifted his focus towards more ambitious and forward-looking ventures. One of the most notable is Kernel, a company he founded with the goal of developing advanced neurotechnology to understand and enhance human cognition. However, Johnson's interests and endeavors span beyond the technology and finance sectors into the realms of human health and longevity. Project Blueprint is perhaps Johnson's most audacious project, aimed at reversing his biological age and pioneering anti-aging efforts. This personal health project is an ultra-comprehensive, data-driven approach to biohacking, where Johnson employs a team of over 30 doctors, health professionals, and researchers to monitor and manipulate every conceivable biomarker that could influence his health and aging process. The regimen includes a strict diet, exercise, sleep management, supplements, and experimental medical procedures aimed at optimizing his body's functioning and reversing the aging process. Johnson's anti-aging efforts through Project Blueprint have garnered significant media attention due to their novel approach and the considerable financial investment involved. He has reportedly spent millions of dollars on this project, with the goal not only to extend his lifespan but also to improve the quality of life and set a precedent for human health optimization. The project involves daily monitoring of hundreds of biomarkers, genetic modifications, and advanced medical treatments that are often at the cutting edge of science and medicine. One of the key areas of focus for Johnson and his team is to reduce or reverse epigenetic age, which is a measure of biological age based on DNA methylation levels. By targeting this and other aging biomarkers, Johnson aims to not only live longer but also to enjoy a healthier, more vibrant life as he ages. His efforts include using therapies that are not widely available to the public, and in some cases, are experimental, showcasing his willingness to explore uncharted territories in the quest for longevity.

Despite the ambitious nature of Project Blueprint and its potential implications for the field of anti-aging, it has also raised questions and skepticism among some in the scientific community. Critics point out the challenges of measuring the effectiveness of such a comprehensive approach, the potential risks of unproven therapies, and the ethical implications of extreme biohacking practices. > OpenAI.
