Life-Extension Guru Bryan Johnson Says He Has Means Extra Microplastics in His Semen Than His Blood

Bryan Johnson appears to have by no means heard the phrase “an excessive amount of data.” The anti-aging tech guru, who’s at present engaged in a grand effort to turn himself back into a (physical) teenager, has documented his weird journey with a stark candor that’s without delay deeply cringe-inducing and someway additionally sorta wonderful. Up to now, Johnson has shared fairly startling details about himself, revealing that—in his effort to show again organic time—he has typically resorted to electro-shocking his personal penis (this was supposed to provide higher erections) and as soon as accepted blood transfusions from his personal teenage son.

This week, Johnson shared one more private perception that no one requested for: His jizz has considerably extra microplastics in it than his blood does. On X on Tuesday, Johnson posted: “I’ve microplastics in my ejaculate. 2x the focus than my blood. + 167 microplastic particles in 1 ml of ejaculate + 70 microplastic particles in 1 ml of blood Ejaculate ranges are 238% larger than blood. This was in Nov 2024.” He added: “In comparison with my blood, my ejaculate has 239% the quantity of microplastics.”

Wow, thanks dude! Very fascinating stuff. Pardon me whereas I’m going wash out my ears.

Johnson is at all times working a battery of assessments on himself, as he seeks to review the actions and practices that may crack the code of everlasting youth. In that sense, Johnson has put himself up as a guinea pig within the pursuit of extra optimized well being regimens, which is admirable, I assume, if not slightly bit insane. Johnson shared a few of the insights, “Since this take a look at in Nov 2024, I’ve dramatically decreased microplastics in my blood,” Johnson additionally shared on X. “By 93%. I’m going to retest ejaculate quickly to see if the discount has occurred there too.”

Admittedly, Johnson is referencing a critical subject right here, which is that our fashionable world is so plush with plastic that it’s toxically leaking into our bloodstreams (and, apparently, our jizz). In his tweets, Johnson cited a meta-analysis study revealed in 2024 that mentioned 39 totally different papers on “male reproductive toxicity of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs).” The examine discovered that elevated ranges of microplastics in males led to decreased testosterone, testicular irritation, and “impaired spermatogenesis at tissue/organ ranges.” The examine concluded that, finally, “decreased sperm high quality or amount was famous and [had been] proved by meta-analysis.”

The glut of microplastics in our our bodies is one thing that the scientific neighborhood has more and more sought to warn the public about, although regulatory and political options stay frustratingly out of attain. With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. working the federal well being paperwork, I wouldn’t anticipate an incoming top-down answer anytime quickly.
