Biohacker Bryan Johnson might find the answer to devastating female health condition with no cure
Biohacker Bryan Johnson has made many headlines over the years for trying to reverse the impact of aging, but now he hopes he can find the answer to a brutal female health condition.
The influencer and entrepreneur has dedicated a lot of time, effort, energy and money into his research over the years, including transfusing blood from his son for 'longevity'.
He is often mocked for his outlandish schemes, but now he has turned his attention to women's health, and many previous critics are hopeful he can do some good.
Johnson posted saying his partner, Kate Tolo, has a 'top 1 per cent' vagina, but later revealed he believes she has endometriosis.

He shared a photo of him administering a transvaginal ultrasound to Tolo, after sharing a microbiome report of her intimate health which clocked up 21 million views.
One commenter wrote: "98.7% Lactobacillus crispatus, when only 25-30% of women are dominant in that bacteria, $2 million per year to make her 'the most measured female in history', 3 months to map her baseline because women need 4 measurement points per cycle (men do it in 1-2 weeks)"
They added: The same biohacker who injected his teenage son's blood is now trying to crack a disease 190 million women have," before swearing: "If he actually solves endometriosis nobody is allowed to make fun of him ever again."
Another wrote quizzically: "What do you mean Bryan Johnson is doing his weird science... on his girlfriend but it's probably the most comprehensive and highly funded research in women's health and he is probably going to cure endometriosis"
“Honestly whatever Bryan Johnson has had going on with his immortality quest is morbidly fascinating to me, but if the guy accidentally ends up curing endometriosis because he’s obsessed with his gf more power to him," added another.
It's thought at least one in ten women suffer from endometriosis, and according to Endometriosis UK it takes on average a shocking nine years and ten months to receive a diagnosis.
This figure has increased from the statistic of eight years, reported back in 2020.
The charity revealed 39 per cent of respondents reported 'needing to visit their GP 10 times or more before endometriosis was suspected' with 55 per cent attending A&E with their symptoms.
Horrifyingly, 46 per cent of these were sent home without treatment.
Johnson's plans
“Here she’s getting an ultrasound,” the biohacker shared, along with the pic.
“Historically you needed surgery just to diagnose it (incisions are made in the abdomen). We're doing a non-invasive route. Typically women live with endometriosis for 7-10 years before being diagnosed. It’s the leading reason women aged 30 to 34 get hysterectomies (permanent surgery to entirely remove the uterus). This condition is where endometrial-like tissue starts growing outside the uterus, in ovaries, bowel, bladder, even the diaphragm. This tissue inflames, scars, and glues organs together.”
“During her ultrasound, a slim probe, about the width of two fingers, 10-12 inches long (although only a small portion is inserted) is covered with a protective sheath and lubricant and gently inserted into the vagina (patient has to empty their bladder first). This creates real-time images of the uterus, ovaries, and surrounding pelvic structures. While inserted, the probe is turned 90 degrees to evaluate all the various structures, angles and views. There is no radiation exposure. The technician is looking for scarring, ovarian cysts, adhesions, and for organs that are fused together with tissue. This ultrasound can confirm endometriosis but it cannot rule it out.”
Tolo praised her partner, writing "I love that Bryan’s so supportive and involved with my health."
Johnson said: "baby I got you."
“There are a handful of theories about why endometriosis develops but the honest answer is no one is quite sure. We’ll keep you posted on her results.”
Another social media commenter replied: “The condition he is talking about is so common, so painful, so invasive and chronic and yet so under-researched or understood. In fact some of the more recent studies on endo focus instead on the effect on the male partners of women with it, all while there is still no cure or any sort of proper acknowledgement for women suffering with it.
“Women’s health is underfunded, and hasn’t been a priority historically. Whatever you think about this man, him and his partner will probably end up doing more for women’s health with this study than the last 100 years of research have achieved.”
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 manhood 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.
