Summary
Bryan Johnson said his immune system is attacking his stomach lining, calling autoimmune gastritis an incurable disease that can cause nutritional deficiency, anemia and higher long-term cancer risk.
The 48-year-old said the condition likely began years before his biohacking era, linking it to a childhood and early-adult diet heavy in fast food and sugary drinks, plus stress while building his business.
Johnson said standard care only manages the illness, but he plans to track ferritin and iron, repeat biopsies and develop treatments with his team rather than accept it as unsolvable.
The diagnosis undercuts the image of a self-styled longevity pioneer who sold Braintree Venmo for $800 million, spends about $2 million a year on health, and publicizes his "don't die" protocol.
