Biohacker who spends $2million a year trying to stay young says one Australia trip aged him 13 years
UK Daily Mail ^ | 6/9/2026 | Maisy Rae

Posted on 06/09/2026 5:52:47 AM PDT by fruser1

Johnson travelled from Los Angeles to Brisbane last month to meet the family of his partner, Kate Tolo, 30, for the first time

Johnson said his trip to Australia undid some of his anti-ageing work amounting to a 'biological insult' that took weeks for his body to recover from.

'I decided to live in her mum’s world. I ate everything she prepared, including meat, bread, and pasta, and embraced the discomfort of being an introvert in a week-long marathon social interaction with the entire extended family,'

'I experienced a huge spike in food noise when in Australia,' he said.

'The desire to eat continuously even though I wasn't hungry, and even full.

'The seven time zone shift shocked my circadian rhythm which then altered my hunger hormones.

'Leptin stopped signalling that I had enough stored energy.

'Ghrelin ran elevated all day instead of only before meals. Blood glucose spikes from bread and carbs, that I ate to be in family ritual, triggered emergency hunger signals in my brain.

'Sleep deprivation weakened my prefrontal cortex's ability to override the urge, making me feel helpless and controlled by impulse.

After returning home, he said it took two weeks to restore his sleep quality, nine days to normalise his cortisol levels and five days to recover his grip strength.

'It takes your body over two weeks to fully recover. It's a big price tag. One international trip per quarter is a reasonable balance,' he said.

'The body understands time zone changes as trauma.

'If you’re budgeting your international trips: I’d suggest no more than once every three months. Evidence shows you need one day per time zone to re-entrain, and east is worse than west.'

Good thing it wasn't a smoking flight - he'd be dead before he got there I guess.

Hey wait, how did folks survive smoking flights in the past?

Other interesting article bits discuss his wife's ultrasound and analysis of "vaginal microbiome":

Johnson has previously revealed Ms Tolo has one of the 'top one per cent of vaginas' after sharing details of her vaginal microbiome report online.

'The lab found nothing bad to report (no gardnerella, Candida, STIs, opportunistic pathogens, aerobic vaginitis markers). This is linked to lower risk of (bacterial vaginosis), UTIs, yeast infections, HPV persistence ... preterm birth and improved IVF outcomes,' he said.

'A vaginal microbiome is downstream of everything: sleep, glucose control, stress, gut health, sexual health, immune function, what you eat, and what you put in it.'

Never heard of that one before - "food noise" as an excuse to eat all day long ....

And he’s going to die anyway, without having really enjoyed life.

Gee, she needs to join Vensa (the “elite” vagina equivalent of Mensa).

You’re right, he’ll never have truly lived.

He can’t even enjoy his trip to Australia. It’s a once in a lifetime destination, a great place to visit.

Borborygmi and flatulence.

So Dad, when you first met Mom, what did you find attractive about her?

The 48-year-old American, who spends millions of dollars each year trying to slow the ageing process

The quote "a fool and his money will soon be parted" seems appropriate here.

The kid is an idiot. I fly internationally to the other side of the planet regularly and know others who do as well. We never experience any of this. Just a little jet lag - and I don’t even get that anymore despite the 12 hour time change. God designed the human body to be very resilient. Apparently this guy has damaged his body so much that it no longer is, even at such a young age. Sad.

This is the kind of guy you just shake your head and know that you wouldn’t trade places with his mentally and emotionally tortured life for anything.

I dunno. He's 48 with a 30-year-old gal...

The guy is visiting family so I assume his father-in-law is on the left and they are working on something in the yard.

He's holding an umbrella because he doesn't want sunlight to directly touch his skin because he believes doing that will increase his lifespan.
