Event Summary

Bryan Johnson, the tech entrepreneur and biohacker known for his anti-aging project Blueprint, revealed in July 2026 that he has been diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis (AIG), an incurable autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the stomach lining. Johnson, 48, announced the diagnosis on social media, stating 'my stomach is eating itself.' He was officially diagnosed in May 2026 after years of unexplained low ferritin levels and a history of hypothyroidism. Johnson plans to pursue experimental treatments, including immune-modulating therapies and engineered cell therapy, aiming to find a cure despite current medical consensus that AIG is manageable but not curable. The condition affects 2-5% of the population and can lead to nutritional deficiencies, anemia, and increased cancer risk.
