A self-proclaimed biohacker who has spent a whopping $2 million to 'live forever' has revealed some insane results after using oxygen therapy for the past 90 days.
Bryan Johnson is taking part in a lengthy and intense experimental medical program in the hope of 'reversing aging', and it's safe to say it's been a resounding success so far.
Whether it be following a strict diet or using his son's blood, Johnson is doing everything possible to remain as young as possible.
While he may be in his late 40s, the biohacker has previously said his crazy experiment helped him achieve the 'heart of 37-year-old' and the 'lung capacity of an 18-year-old'.

Recently, Johnson embarked on 90 days of using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a form of medical treatment where a patient breathes pure oxygen in a special chamber with increased air pressure, which allows the body to absorb significantly more oxygen.
Such extra oxygen can be beneficial in treating a variety of conditions, including wounds, infections and a lot of other sickness involved with that area of the body.
Johnson completed 60 sessions over the period of 90 days, all lasting 90 minutes in duration.
In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Johnson revealed he saw a 300 percent growth in blood vessels and a 1000 precent increase in akkermansia, which is linked to improved gut and metabolic health.
A marker for the chances of developing Alzheimer's also declined by 28 percent as a result of Johnson using the oxygen therapy for the past three months.
The procedure also 'transformed' Johnson's skin across his whole body, while his UV skin damage improved by around 10 percent.
Telomeres, which are located at the ends of chromosomes, are a significant indication of 'biology age and health', which were also measured during the experiment.
Johnson was found to have that of a ten-year-old, showing the incredible impact the oxygen therapy has had on his mission to 'live forever'.
Some of the wild things Johnson has done to stay youthful has seen him receive much criticism online, including sharing his and his son's ‘erection data’.
The data included the pair's sleep efficiency, average erection quality, number of erection episodes and total duration.
Johnson achieved a better average erection quality with 94, while his son Talmage received a slightly lower 90 score.
The biohacker also had much better sleep efficiency, but had one less erection episode compared to Talmage.
