A man spends millions to reverse aging, aiming to slow and reverse the aging process through a strict regimen and scientific methods.

## Key Takeaways

- Aging can potentially be slowed and reversed through scientific and medical interventions.
- Biological age can differ significantly from chronological age based on organ health and function.
- High cost and intensive medical support currently limit accessibility to anti-aging therapies.
- Stopping or slowing aging could prevent many age-related diseases.
- Demonstrating feasibility is the first step before addressing global accessibility.

## What the video covers

- A man uses his life as a science experiment to see how long he can live, aiming to slow and reverse aging.
- He measures his body’s biological age differently for various organs, with an overall biological age younger than his chronological age.
- He spends about $2 million annually on a strict regimen including vegan meals, supplements, and exercise designed by his son.
- His body fat is down to 5%, and he aims to achieve the body of an 18-year-old.
- He sold his company to PayPal for $800 million ten years ago to fund his anti-aging efforts.
- The goal is to demonstrate that aging can be slowed and reversed, challenging the assumption that decay and decline are inevitable.
- He has a team of 30 doctors supporting his efforts.
- Experts agree that aging drives disease and stopping aging could stop many diseases, including cardiovascular and lung diseases.
- He acknowledges the high cost and limited accessibility of such therapies currently but aims to prove feasibility first.
- He continues his search for a modern 'fountain of youth' without fear of aging.

We are not talking about 140, 150, 160. Our original report takes you there. He calls himself the most measured human.

00:33

Speaker A

If you ask how old he is, here is how he explains it. We could say my life here is 64.

01:15

Speaker A

If we did not have decay and decline as an assumption, it would change everything.

01:24

Speaker A

Reporter: If that sounds expensive, it is. Ten years ago he sold his company to PayPal for $800 million.

01:28

Speaker A

Now he spends about $2 million each year trying to reverse the aging of his body.

01:39

Speaker A

I am reversing my age by 5.1 years in the seven months. Reporter: He says he's six to a strict regimen including everything from vegan meals.

01:47

Speaker A

I eat about 70 pounds of vegetables per month. Reporter: And a lot of supplements.

Speaker A

His body fat is down to just 5%. Around his house, everything money can buy to slow down aging.

02:11

Speaker A

We are trying to achieve the body of an 18-year-old. Reporter: Right now people say this is a rich guy doing it.

02:20

Speaker A

This costs millions of dollars and you have a team of 30 doctors. How far away are we from having anyone having access to intensive therapy?

02:29

Speaker A

My objective is not to solve the accessibility problem globally. The objective in the earliest stages is to show something is feasible.

02:42

Speaker A

Reporter: This is the director of the Einstein Institute of Aging Research at the College of Medicine in New York.

02:50

Speaker A

He agrees aging does not have to be synonymous with disease and decline. It is the aging that drives the disease.

02:55

Speaker A

If you stop the aging, we stop the disease. I'm not just talking about lung disease.

03:02

Speaker A

I'm talking about all diseases or most of them. Certainly cardiovascular comes from a decline.
