An expert has warned Bryan Johnson about his quest to 'biohack' his body, reverse his biological age and cheat death.

Whether it be measuring his nighttime erections, using his son's blood plasma or taking over 50 pills a day, Bryan Johnson is doing the most he can - and very much splashing the cash to match it - in a bid to try and reverse his age.

But is he losing sight of what really matters?

Well, Johnson has previously spoken out about having the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old and the lung capacity of an 18-year-old - the millions of dollars seemingly being put to good use to reverse his age.

However, Dave Asprey - known as the 'Father of Biohacking - has spoken out in warning.

While telling the Post Johnson is 'doing a service by helping all of us see that we can live longer than we think we can' and not doubting 'we need those outliers who are going to do things that most of us never will,' Asprey notes he hopes Johnson 'realizes that trying to cheat death only makes death stronger'.

Asprey warns there's two groups of people with 'very different energetics' to both - one who 'are abhorrent of death' and 'another [...] that are seeking a vibrant, long life for as long as they want'.

Asprey reportedly sees Johnson as falling into the former - Johnson having said himself his goal is 'Don't die' - as quoted by The Guardian.

Asprey himself is biohacking his age, but in a bid to live until 180 - championing the use of biohacking as a way to achieve a certain goal rather than simply to try and avoid death completely.

He voiced: "Working for the most conscious, vibrant life of service you can have - so that you can enjoy the age of youth and the wisdom of age - is the path to a more conscious, happier people and a greater society."

UNILAD has contacted representatives for Bryan Johnson for comment.

And Johnson's approach has been questioned by another expert too, GP, longevity expert and the brains behind health clinic HUM2N, Dr Mohammed Enayat - known as Dr E - previously telling UNILAD Johnson's approach is 'actually [...] working for him' - and it shows in the results. However, that doesn't make it 'realistic' for other people to adopt both given the cost, but also the fact it's not been tried or tested before.

The healthcare professional actually thinks there's 'definitely [...] cause for concern' because Johnson appears to be undergoing so many processes and putting so many things into his body at the same time with 'no triaging' - or using what scientists call 'the Maslow's hierarchy of needs'.

Dr E thinks the scientists and team who are working with Johnson are embarking on more of a 'throwing the kitchen sink at it approach' and Johnson has previously admitted himself the team 'frequently make mistakes' and are 'stumbling into new things' as they experiment with how to reduce his biological age.

Dr E worries this could come with a 'risk' of certain methods or drugs interacting negatively with one another in current 'unknown ways' given the 'number of interventions that he's doing that are overlapping'.
