A self-described 'biohacker' has revealed the ultra-strict regimen he hopes will help him to cheat death.
Bryan Johnson has become an internet sensation in recent times over his belief that his habits and diet will help to extend his life and, ultimately, 'avoid death'.
The multi-millionaire's regimen also includes some more eccentric elements, such as using his own son's blood in a bid to help 'de-age' himself.

These aren't cheap either, reportedly costing the Californian tech mogul some $2 million a year.
Johnson, 46, hopes that his eccentric and expensive measures will help to extend his life far into the future, though doctors have disagreed about the impact of his lifestyle.
But that hasn't stopped Johnson from making some pretty bold claims about the impact that his habits have on the pace of his aging.
He boasted about the latest 'effect' in a post on X.
The tech businessman wrote: "New achievement unlocked: 0.64 speed of aging.

"I am aging slower than: + 100% of all 30-60 yr old males, + 99% of 20 yr old males. How slow is that? I only age 7.6 months every 12 months. How low can we go?"
He included an image of projected aging in a 'normal' person, and then a humorous image of himself 'de-aging' back into an infant.
There are a lot of different aspects to his regimen, including one part of it that you might not expect in the life of someone who is trying to be as healthy as possible.
This is including chocolate in his diet. Yes, chocolate.

Needless to say we are not talking about your run of the mill candy here.
This is purchasing very fancy cocoa, which he then consumes in a very specific way.
He revealed his taste for chocolate in a video posted to his YouTube channel which hit almost 500,000 views.

In it, he said: “Sometimes the things that are good for us we don’t do.”
He explained that he consumes doses of high quality cocoa, claiming that it has health benefits.
Nonetheless, he did stress that not all cocoa in the store is of this 'high quality'.
He said: “If you’re looking to buy high-quality cocoa, you want to look for several things; one, it’s pure cocoa; two is you want it to be undutched; three, you want to test it for heavy metals; and four, you want a high flavonol count."

The tech mogul consumed the cocoa by mixing it with a 'nutty pudding', calling it 'delicious'.
