Indian Doctor Calls Out Bryan Johnson For Selling 'Dangerous' Supplements, Millionaire Asks: 'Who Hurt You?'
The Liver Doc expressed his concerns on social media platform X, calling Johnson's business practices "terrifying"
Kerala-based liver specialist Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, popularly known as ‘The Liver Doc,’ has accused American millionaire Bryan Johnson, famous for his anti-ageing ventures, of selling “dangerous" supplements under the name of his startup, Blueprint.
Johnson launched Project Blueprint in 2020, a $2 million-a-year experiment aimed at reversing biological ageing through sleep optimisation, proper nutrition, and rigorous exercise.

The Liver Doc expressed his concerns on social media platform X, calling Johnson’s business practices “terrifying" and comparing him to convicted American biotech entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes and Australian influencer Belle Gibson, who falsely claimed to have cancer.
“It is terrifying that people do not see Bryan Johnson as actually a well-evolved masculine form of fraudsters Elizabeth Holmes and Belle Gibson, selling both expensive and utterly useless investigations and peddling potentially dangerous snake oil supplements in the name of BLUEPRINT," the Indian doctor wrote in his post shared on Monday.

The liver expert further claimed that, unlike Holmes, who defrauded investors, Johnson was allegedly swindling “poorly informed health and science illiterates."
“While Belle Gibson told people she was dying, this gentleman is telling people he won’t die and created a cult around not dying. She was lying and he is too," he continued.
Johnson, who has made headlines for his extreme anti-ageing routine—spending millions to extend his life—quickly responded to the allegations. He posted a reply, asking, “Cyriac why are you so angry? Who hurt you?"

He defended his Blueprint program, emphasising that its products, including extra virgin olive oil, proteins, nuts, and nutrients, are backed by “independent and robust scientific evidence".
“They are third party tested. The certificates of analysis are publicly available. They are affordably priced," Johnson added.
Johnson, the former tech entrepreneur who made his fortune by selling his startup Braintree to PayPal in 2013, has since turned his attention to reverse ageing. His extreme health regimen involves taking 54 pills daily, shock therapy, blood transfusions from his son, and a range of other experimental treatments. His controversial lifestyle was documented in the Netflix series “Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever."
Despite his wealth and fame, Johnson’s unconventional methods and secretive approach have raised eyebrows. He has faced accusations of pressuring employees, contract workers, and even sexual partners into signing confidentiality agreements. The New York Times reported on Johnson’s attempts to hide his personal life, mentioning his divorce, hiring of prostitutes, and experimentation with psychedelics.
