Bryan Johnson, the biohacker who used his son’s blood to slow down ageing, has called on fast food companies to partner with him to produce ‘Don’t Die’ meals.

He posted on X asking brands such as McDonald’s, Starbucks, Domino’s, Subway and KFC to test for toxins in their food. Johnson said: “Hey fast food companies – you’re collectively serving 26 billion meals a year. You’ve perfected convenience, marketing and taste that keep customers returning.”

Johnson, who made headlines in 2023 after it was revealed he was spending £2 million a year to be 18 again, urged them to partner with him to create “Don’t Die approved meals” which will be “healthy and tested for toxins”. He cited a general shift towards health and people’s desire for healthy food without contaminants.

His post warned the fast-food brands to “get ahead of this because otherwise overnight you’ll be a low-brow brand”. “You have 92,777 U.S. locations alone. The scale of what you could do to improve people’s health is compelling. This is in your economic interest. Don’t die,” he wrote.

Five Guys, Taco Bell, Arby’s, Chipotle, Papa John’s, Dairy Queen and Wingstop were among the fast food brands called out by Johnson. He said in his post that he aims to have a ‘Don’t Die’ test market product up in time for the Super Bowl on February 9.

A film documenting Johnson’s journey to slowing down his ageing process was released on Netflix this January. Titled Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, it follows his journey to find radical treatments and solutions to defy the passage of time.

Johnson, an entrepreneur and father, launched ‘Project Blueprint’ which outlines his protocols and data for slowing down ageing for people to implement themselves. He claims online that he has a metabolic health equal to the top 1.5 per cent of 18-year-olds, inflammation 66 per cent lower than the average 10-year-old and reduced his speed of ageing by the equivalent of 31 years.

His protocol states that followers must master five habits: sleep, diet, exercise, family and friendship, and things to avoid (such as junk food, vaping and smoking).

Johnson has now called out fast food establishments, but what does he eat every day? According to his Blueprint, he eats 2,250 calories per day and does not consume things like sugar, junk food, fried food, processed food, gums, high-fructose corn syrup, trans fats or alcohol.

A vegan by choice, the entrepreneur eats his final meal of the day at 11am which he says will be a combination of veggies, nuts, seeds and berries. He is then in bed by 8.30pm and is asleep within three minutes of his head hitting the pillow.
