Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever


Listen Later

After making his fortune in tech, Bryan Johnson has set his sights on an even more valuable goal: finding a fountain of youth through cutting-edge science. Employing a mix of smoothies, fitness, regimented sleep, high-tech therapies, and more than 100 pills and supplements, Bryan has been able to slow the aging rate of his body. His Blueprint Protocol has earned him lots of attention, and lots of derision from those who see his quest as folly. And Bryan’s pursuit of even more radical techniques has many questioning how far is too far in his desire for longevity. 


The Netflix documentary film Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, follows Bryan’s uncharted path to maximize his lifespan and share his results with the world. It explores whether any of his accomplishments can be replicated. And it seeks to go deeper into his life to explore what is really animating the millionaire’s high-profile attempt to live as long as possible.


In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews director Chris Smith.
