Bryan Johnson has explored hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cerebrolysin, and mesenchymal stem cells for longevity.

◐Partially SupportedBryan Johnson underwent a procedure involving injections of 300 million stem cells into six joints.

◐Partially SupportedThe speaker's resting heart rate increased to 64 after stem cell injections, indicating a "red zone" recovery score.

◐Partially SupportedThe speaker is undergoing an injection of 300 million stem cells from young Swedish bone marrow into major joints for athletic performance and pain elimination.

◐Partially SupportedStem cells used in procedures are only viable for two hours.

◐Partially SupportedThe speaker's father is receiving 100 million mesenchymal stem cells intravenously for whole-body treatment.

◐Partially SupportedBryan Johnson's joint imaging shows meaningful deterioration despite experiencing no pain.

◐Partially SupportedStem cell joint rejuvenation aims to restore joints to a more youthful state.

◐Partially SupportedCognitive decline was reversed after taking brain supplements and following a daily protocol.

◐Partially SupportedImprovement from cell treatments typically takes weeks to months.

◐Partially SupportedStem cell joint rejuvenation is an expensive new technology that may become lower cost as it scales.

◐Partially SupportedUltrasound will be used to examine both shoulders to prepare a game plan for injecting three spots per shoulder.

◐Partially SupportedBryan Johnson received stem cell injections directly into the joints.

◐Partially SupportedIntervening early with treatments may prevent arthritis from being an inevitable outcome of aging.

◐Partially SupportedStem cells have a limited viability window of 2 hours after leaving the lab and begin to deteriorate rapidly.

◐Partially SupportedThe body responds to cell treatments as if injured, which is part of the healing process.

◐Partially SupportedThe speaker lost bending capacity in their knees after stem cell injections.

◐Partially SupportedSoreness from stem cell injections can last from a few days up to a week.

◐Partially SupportedThe goal of interventions like PRP and bone injections, as well as mesenchymal stem cells, is to shift the body towards an anti-inflammatory state.

◐Partially SupportedUltrasound is used to confirm accurate placement of mesenchymal stem cells in the super patella bursa.

◐Partially SupportedCell treatments can serve as a long-term maintenance strategy to prevent age-related issues like arthritis.

◐Partially SupportedDemonstrating efficacy in slowing or reversing aging damage would be positive for longevity.

◐Partially SupportedMesenchymal stem cells act as the body's repair system and healthy young cells can multiply to future-proof joints.

◐Partially SupportedUltrasound is effective for visualizing soft tissue and fluid, enabling precise needle guidance into joints like the patellofemoral joint.

◐Partially SupportedBryan Johnson received 150 million stem cells on day one, with a total of 300 million planned over two days.

◐Partially SupportedSynovial fluid can have a pro-inflammatory imbalance in patients with discomfort or arthritis.

◐Partially SupportedThe body can react to stem cell injections and potentially experience inflammation.

◐Partially SupportedFollowing stem cell injections, it is recommended to take it easy for 2 to 3 days, with weight-bearing as tolerated, but avoiding exercise.

◐Partially SupportedBryan Johnson monitors cognition daily as a key outcome he is interested in.
