Anti-aging COI edit request
[edit]| This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. Set |answered=no to reactivate the request if necessary. |
Thanks for taking the time to review this edit request. The four suggestions below all relate to the Anti-aging section.
1. When/why he started
New content: In 2019, Johnson stated he had for years maintained health-compromising habits, due to the demands of entrepreneurship and as a young father.[1] He started improving his well-being through standard health interventions before shifting toward anti-aging experimentation in 2021.[2]
2. Plasma correction - not the entire story, it was tri-generational
Replace: In 2023, Johnson underwent a series of six monthly 1-liter plasma transfusions with his son as the donor for one of the transfusions, but he says he will not repeat the transfusions due to lack of benefits.[3][4]
With: In 2023, Johnson underwent a series of monthly 1-liter plasma transfusions over a six month period. [3] One of these six transfusions was a tri-generational transfusion experiment, with Johnson's 17 year old son serving as the donor for Johnson, then Johnson was himself donor for his father.[4] He says he will not repeat the transfusions due to lack of benefits.[3]
3. Biomarker data and competing -
New content: Since 2023, Johnson has publicly shared his biomarker data and engaged in competitive biohacking against other people.[5][6]
4. Measurement -
New content: In 2025, Johnson recorded a DunedinPACE speed of aging score at 0.503 per calendar year.[7] DunedinPACE is a DNA methylation biomarker used to estimate the pace of biological aging.[8]

[edit]- The Times is paywalled. If you could insert the relevant text into the
|quote=parameter. In 2023, Johnson underwent a series of six monthly 1-liter plasma transfusions. One transfusion was tri-generational with his[who?] 17 year old son serving as the donor for Johnson, then Johnson was himself donor for his father.[quantify]
since were talking about three generations of Johnson's, it would be best if we could specify which his this was. Also, the text needs to specify how many transfusions Johnson gave to his father. It says earlier in the text as "six monthly transfusions". Then it says "one transfusions for" but then says "then Johnson was himself donor for his father". How many times? For example, Alicia gave 6 apples away to two of her friends; one went to Gabby and the other five went to Prisha. Linguistically that sounds better, as the underlined passages make explicitly clear how many apples went to whom.In 2025, Johnson recorded a DunedinPACE speed of aging score at 0.503 per calendar year.
This needs context. What is the DunedinPace?- When ready to proceed with the requested information, kindly change the {{Edit COI}} template's answer parameter to read from
|ans=yto|ans=n.
Thank you! Regards, Spintendo 23:58, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

This needs context. What is the DunedinPace?- Tried to keep the DunedinPACE explanation concise, let me know if it’s enough.
- Thanks @Spintendo:, appreciate you looking at this and your comments. I have made amendments to each of the original requests.ScirioMC (talk) 16:12, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

August 2026 COI request
[edit]Below is a request for amendments to be made to Bryan Johnson’s Wikipedia page.
1. Additional paragraph to be added to the anti-aging protocol section.
New content: In July 2026, Johnson began using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as part of his anti-aging efforts.[1] While he didn't expand on exactly how he would be using iPSCs, media commentators suggested that the technology was more likely to be used initially for testing therapies on his own cells.[2] Johnson also discussed his recent AIG diagnosis, suggesting that the technology could provide a pathway towards repairing his body and cure his condition.[3] He also implied that it could potentially be used for organ rejuvenation in the future.[4][3]
2. Following discussions with editor Spintendo here, I'm requesting the removal of the subheadings from Bryan's career section. The editor suggested the career section could be improved "by nakedly placing the information without subheadings into the Career section and letting the original purpose of paragraphs do the work that the subsections are now doing." The request is therefore to remove the following subheadings, Early ventures, Braintree, OS Fund, Kernel, Blueprint, and Use of confidentiality agreements, from his career section.
