Viral: Billionaire Bryan Johnson known for his ‘Anti-Ageing Diet’ trolled during his India visit for THIS reason
American billionaire and tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, who is known for his ambitious anti-ageing project Blueprint, recently found himself at the centre of a social media storm during his visit to India. While the 45-year-old is no stranger to making headlines for his rigorous age-reversal lifestyle, it was his travel eating habits that caught the internet's attention this time.
Johnson's 6-day food revelation
He recently posted on X (formerly Twitter), and revealed that he brought every calorie of food he planned to consume during his six-day trip to India. His reason? "I know how contaminated our global food supply is," he said.

My decision wasn't aimed at India but was part of his broader commitment to safe, toxin-free eating.

Johnson's post included a detailed list of his diet, which features items like protein bars, macadamia puree, dal (water only), dry pea soup (only water to be added), and collagen peptides along with blueberry nut mix, longevity mix, super shrooms, and matcha—all of which adhere to his meticulously researched Blueprint program.

You can hate me, make fun of me, call me a cheater—just know what you are putting in your body.

Not one to back down from criticism, Johnson capitalised on the trolling to teach his audience what he was doing regarding his health regimen.

Johnson's Blueprint program is both extreme and fascinating. His schedule consists of waking up at 4:30 a.m. He follows a plant-based diet, takes over 100 supplements per day, and accepts experimental treatments such as plasma transfusions. His dedication to his cause cannot be rivalled by the millions spent annually in monitoring and perfecting his health.
