The fight to reverse, or at least halt, the aging process is arguably the final frontier of medicine. Modern medicine has accomplished incredible feats, from life-saving vaccines & antibiotics to cutting-edge gene editing technology to various 3D printing techniques. Despite this progress, the medical industry has yet to conquer its proverbial white whale, the gradual aging process. However, many innovative projects in anti-aging science and biohacking technology have emerged in the past few decades.
Recently, Bloomberg reported that ex-Braintree Founder Bryan Johnson now spends $2 million every year in an attempt to reverse the effects of aging. Johnson, 44, told Bloomberg that he leverages a team of 30 doctors intending to become “18 years old again.” Football legend Tom Brady, who finally retired at 45 this year, is a strong advocate for various anti-aging and ‘unconventional’ tactics. In addition to helping him become the winningest quarterback of all time, Brady’s efforts propelled him to win multiple Super Bowls at the end of his career, well into his late 30s and early 40s, an achievement previously thought to be impossible. LeBron James, the 38-year-old who just led the Lakers to upset the two seed in the 2023 playoffs, reportedly spends $1.5 million annually to slow down the aging process and remain productive at a high level. Perhaps best illustrating his longevity and success, James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record for the all-time NBA points scored earlier this year. To maintain his health and sharpness as he ages into his late thirties Lewis Hamilton, F1’s record holder for the most wins, leverages cryotherapy and follows a strict vegan diet. In addition to those mentioned, many other athletes utilize these techniques as team budgets for recovery technology and anti-aging strategy are enormous.
Dr. Jacob Rosenstein, of Southwest Age Intervention Institute, is one of the most vocal proponents of and…
