“Biologically, I am a few hundred ages. My left ear is 64, my fitness test they say I’m 18. My heart is 37, my diaphragm strength is 18.”

佈萊恩·約翰遜
“從生理指標上看，我的年齡被測出有幾百種結果。我的左耳是64歲，體能測試顯示我是18歲。我的心臟是37歲，我的橫膈膜強度是18歲。”

Tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson spends millions of dollars a year trying to reverse his biological age. That’s the age he seems, not the number of years he’s been alive.

科技企業傢佈萊恩·約翰遜每年花數百萬美元試圖逆轉自己的生理年齡。生理年齡是他看上去的年齡，而不是他的實際年齡。

“I playfully say I’m trying to become like an 18-year-old. My son is 17, and so I always tease him and say: ‘When I grow younger, I want to be like you.’ If we slowed the speed of ageing, and even reversed it, it would change what it means to be human.”

佈萊恩·約翰遜
“我開玩笑地說，我正在試著變回18歲。我兒子今年17歲，所以我總是逗他說：‘等我返老還童瞭，我想變得和你一樣。’ 如果我們能減緩衰老的速度，甚至逆轉衰老的過程，這將改變我們對人類的定義。”

A team of 30 doctors and scientists treat and assess him.

“Every night, I was getting up one time per night to go to the bathroom. But when I did so, it produced less quality sleep. So, we got this machine to trial could we strengthen my pelvic floor and my bladder, so that I wouldn’t get up at night to go to the bathroom. It’s been successful.”

“以前，我每天夜裡都要起來上一次廁所。這樣睡眠質量就會降低。所以，我們用這臺機器做實驗，看能不能強化我的骨盆底和膀胱的功能，這樣我就不用起夜上廁所瞭。結果實驗成功瞭。”

“Oh, it’s like pins and needles. It’s sort of tickling, but tickling in a quite hard, aggressive way.”

“坐在這讓我感覺全身發麻。有點像撓癢癢，但撓得很使勁、很厲害。”

“We’ve made about 22 years of progress in reversing the age of my skin. It takes all these images of your face, and you get about 10 reports on pore size, UV spots, reds, browns. I have significant hearing damage and we’re doing some root rejuvenation technologies trying to get my hearing back. Really hard going. It is a game now. It is so much fun to see what progress can be made from one measurement to another.”

“我們在逆轉我的皮膚老化方面，已經讓我的皮膚年輕瞭22年。這臺機器可以采集你面部的各種圖像，然後得到大約10份關於你的毛孔大小、紫外線曬斑，如紅斑和棕斑的報告。我的聽力嚴重受損，我們正在用基礎的再生技術來試圖幫我恢復聽力。但確實有難度。現在，整個逆轉過程像是一種遊戲。真的很有趣，因為能在一次又一次的測量後看到我的身體指標的改善。”
