Bryan Johnson and relationship with Bacteria
1. Who is Bryan Johnson?
Bryan Johnson is an American entrepreneur and investor, best known as the founder of Project Blueprint, an experimental lifestyle aimed at slowing down aging.
Originally, he founded Braintree, a payment service, which he sold to PayPal for $800 million. Afterward, he became deeply interested in health and lifespan extension, promoting the concept of "Don't Die."
Johnson is dedicated to meticulously managing his body, practicing a lifestyle scientifically designed to slow aging.
2. The Relationship with Germs
Bryan Johnson is highly conscious of the impact that germs (microorganisms) have on the human body and health. The following points are particularly significant:
(1) Germ Theory in the 1870s and Today
- Discovery of Germs: Before the 1870s, many people believed that the cause of diseases was "bad air" (miasma). However, with the development of microscopes, it became clear that germs (microorganisms) were the true cause of many diseases.
- Rejection of the Idea: For people at the time, the notion that invisible germs could cause disease was hard to accept.
- Whispers from the Future: Johnson points out, “Just as we can’t fully believe in future technologies (like overcoming aging) today, people once couldn’t believe germs caused disease.”
(2) Germs and Human Health
Bryan Johnson emphasizes the importance of "microbial balance" in the body, which plays a crucial role in health and aging.
- Gut Microbiome: Influences immunity, nutrient absorption, and inflammation.
- Oral Microbiome: Linked not just to dental health but also heart disease and dementia.
- Skin Microbiome: Impacts external defense mechanisms and aging.
➡ Johnson aims to optimize the microbial balance through diet, supplements, and lifestyle.
(3) The Relationship Between Aging and Germs
Bryan Johnson views aging as a disease and uses cutting-edge science and technology to delay it, while considering its relationship with germs.
- When “bad” bacteria increase, inflammation occurs, accelerating aging.
- When “good” bacteria (gut flora) increase, immunity improves, and healthspan extends.
- To optimize gut health, he incorporates probiotics (beneficial bacteria) and specific diets.
3. "Don't Die" and Germs
Johnson's "Don't Die" movement is aimed at scientifically extending lifespan and optimizing health. Managing germs(especially gut bacteria) plays a vital role in this approach.
- Eliminate factors that accelerate death (poor diet, pathogens, etc.).
- Scientifically adjust the body’s microbial environment to extend lifespan.
- Germ management could become central to future medicine and healthcare.
Conclusion
Bryan Johnson places immense importance on the role of germs (microbiome) in health and aging. Just as past theories about germs evolved, the notion that aging is inevitable may be challenged in the future.
Through his "Don't Die" movement, Johnson aims to extend healthspan by integrating scientific approaches, including the management of the microbiome.

Based on Takagi-san's newsletter, let’s explore the world to understand ourselves better!
India is predicted to overtake Japan this year and become the world’s 4th largest economy by GDP.
In India, the middle class is rapidly expanding, now making up about 30% of the population. In short, the number of people who can shop is soaring.
This is something that happened in China in the 2000s as well.
A drink that symbolizes the "American-style" refined lifestyle = Coffee.
Cafes are functioning as "third places" for work, study, and socializing.
"A lot can happen over coffee."
"New Socialism"
Predicted to sweep around the world, especially in the US, alongside the limits of capitalism.
Trump's "DOGE"
This new organization aims to reduce federal government waste and save budgets significantly through digital technology reforms.
The goal is to modernize federal government technology and software, maximizing efficiency and productivity.
Without digital transformation (DX) at the core of the government, the future of the nation is at risk.
For example, manually reviewing hundreds of thousands of government contracts is impossible, but using AI can instantly detect unnecessary expenditures and redundant processes through pattern analysis.

What really resonated with me:

Reduce busyness and make time to think.
When you’re always busy, you get caught up in immediate tasks and can’t plan long-term. It’s crucial to make time to stop and think carefully.
The cause of this busyness is:
- Believing that being busy is valuable.
- Moving constantly to escape reality.
Say no to things that aren’t truly important.
“Busyness” won’t end unless you choose to say no.
Use the following rule when deciding: “If it’s 9 out of 10, say yes. Otherwise, say no.”
Prioritize what matters to you—not appearances or others’ expectations.
