Summary
- Bryan Johnson took 5-gram dose of magic mushrooms to study aging effects
- Plans monthly doses over 3 months to measure DNA, cells, metabolism, hormones
- Believes psychedelics could help slow or reverse the aging process
In a radical experiment to halt the aging process, tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson recently consumed a 5-gram dose of magic mushrooms. As of November 11th, 2025, Johnson has shared his experience on social media, stating that the psychedelic trip "changed" him, though not in the way many would expect.
Johnson, who spends $2 million per year on medical diagnostics and treatments in his quest for longevity, intends to take monthly doses of the psychedelic drug over the next 3 months. During this time, he will undergo a series of tests to measure key biological markers, including DNA integrity, cellular aging, metabolism, protein levels, epigenetics, hormones, brain activity, and organic acids.
The Blueprint CEO believes that psychedelics could potentially help slow or even reverse the aging process. Prior to his first trip, Johnson expressed that he is not fearful of death, having reconciled with it during his darkest days of depression. However, he is committed to exploring all avenues in his mission to extend the human lifespan.
