Bryan Johnson Stores Menstrual Blood for Longevity Research Amid Public Debate
Tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson stores his girlfriend's menstrual blood in a laboratory freezer at -80°C as part of his longevity research. He explains that menstrual blood offers a non-invasive way to study uterine health, including cells and contaminants like microplastics and endocrine disruptors. While the practice sparked online debate, fertility expert Dr. Prajna Shetty noted that the scientific approach is not unusual, though public reactions have varied due to the framing of the information.
