Biohacker Bryan Johnson gives update on finding cure to devastating female health condition with no cure

Bryan Johnson and his girlfriend Kate Tolo have given an update on their experiments to find a cure for endometriosis.

Earlier this month, the longevity entrepreneur revealed that 30-year-old Tolo has the long-term condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside the uterus. It commonly causes pelvic pain, heavy periods and fertility challenges. Johnson says they are now working on a cure as part of what he calls 'Phase II'.

He is often mocked for his outlandish experiments to stay young, but now he has turned his attention to women's health, and many previous critics are hopeful he can do some good.

The diagnosis came after she underwent experimental and noninvasive tests, The Wall Street Journal explained in an interview with Tolo. She also learned that she has polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and adenomyosis, in which uterine lining grows into the muscle wall of the organ.

Tolo and Johnson, 48, plan to try out home experiments aimed at creating a map of her biological data over the course of her menstrual cycle. Unlike her partner, Tolo said she is not chasing eternal youth. I’m really doing it because I think that this is our path toward women being understood in the world and being seen,” she told the publication. She hopes that their research can inform future studies on female healthcare.

Johnson shared an instagram post detailing Tolo’s schedule, which he described as a ‘world first for female health’. She will collect 14 million data points on her menstrual cycle and will involve more than 100 tasks per day and over 50 devices.

The lengthy schedule begins at 6:30 AM and she has three minutes to spit in a tube and swab the inside of her cheek. Before 7:00 AM she would have removed the ‘techno-tampon’ and measured her temperature, given a urine sample for cortisol and hormones respectively and measured her pelvic floor strength.

Through the rest of the morning, Tolo will have sun therapy, measure her blood pressure, swab her vaginal microbiome and drink 13 oz of water before 8:00 AM.

The full schedule stretches all the way to 21:55 which is her bedtime.

“This will be the most quantified menstrual cycle ever,” Bryan said in a statement. “And this is just to collect baseline measurement. Once we’re done with the 100 days, we’ll start trying interventions.”

He added: “We’ll post all results including the good, bad and ugly in addition to sharing all the practical insights.”

Bryan Johnson’s wildest experiments in his quest to ‘live forever’

De-ageing his penis

While the thought of it may make you wince, Johnson has been putting his penis through the wringer in the hopes of bringing back his '22-year-old penis'. From semen analysis and blood flow testing to Botox injections and shock wave therapy, he seems to have done it all.

The biohacker claimed to have been able to lower his 'erection age' by over half thanks to this long-winded ritual.

As well as keeping track of his own 'erection data', Johnson has also been controversially comparing the stats to his 19-year-old son's.

Injecting himself with his son’s blood

The biohacker went viral in 2023 after sharing that he'd come together with his then-17-year-old son and his 70-year-old father to take part in what he described as 'the world’s first multigenerational plasma exchange'.

The process saw Johnson have a litre of his blood removed and separated the plasma. He then had the same amount of his son's plasma infused into his veins.

However, after seeing 'no benefits', Johnson announced he was 'no longer injecting my son's blood'.

Instead, he said he 'upgraded' to 'total plasma exchange'.

Psychedelics

Last year, the biohacker documented his trip after taking 5g of magic mushrooms. Afterwards, he admitted he was 'happy to be alive', and the experience had 'changed' him, but 'probably not as you’d expect'.

Johnson also shared the effects of taking 27mg of the 'world’s most powerful' hallucinogenic, 5-MeO-DMT, which left him 'stunned beyond comprehension'.

An extensive morning routine

Johnson recently shared an update on what he does each morning, noting that it takes four hours and 46 minutes.

"My morning routine is always evolving as we update protocols. This is what I'm experimenting with right now," he writes on his website.
