Biohacker trying to 'live forever' reveals brutally painful five-minute procedure he does most mornings

Most would rather start the day with a coffee instead

Infamous biohacker Bryan Johnson has made a name for himself by doing peculiar things to 'cheat death', but you might still be shocked at the brutally painful five-minute procedure he undertakes every single morning.

Most people's morning routine starts with rolling out of bed and ends with a cup of coffee, while even mega-rich billionaires like Jeff Bezos enjoy the benefits of a slow start to the day.

If you're someone who wants to live forever, you're likely going to want to use every moment of the day to work on your health.

That can sometimes involve activities that aren't exactly the most appealing.

Biohacker Bryan Johnson leads a rather bizarre life which has involved injecting himself with his own son's plasma and measuring his erections to lower the age of his penis, but his latest trick aims to help him retain mobility into the latter years of his life.

What painful procedure is part of Bryan Johnson's morning routine?

As revealed during Johnson's latest YouTube video, which details his self-professed 'intense' morning routine that will allegedly help him live beyond 150, one painful procedure he undertakes almost every day is shockwave therapy.

He starts the five-minute-long process around two hours after he wakes up, and it's meant to keep the joints around his knees and elbows active in the years to come.

"Joints are a major issue for people as they age," Johnson explains. “In fact, they limit our ability to do the things we love. I'm doing with this therapy the first whole body proactive therapy.

"I do three sessions per week, 4,500 shocks per session. It's first in the world, and it has done wonders for my joints. And even though it hurts like hell, that's what you want. Seek out the pain."

While Johnson is understandably quick to preach about the benefits of this procedure, it's world-first status - which he proclaims as a plus - makes it unclear quite how beneficial this will really be in the long term. It’s also unclear whether his joints will be enhanced by the pain he puts himself through every week.

Most people would simply rather seek out more conventional forms of preservation for their joints than suffer through 900 electric shocks per minute, although it's unclear quite how much it remains a performative measure alongside the supposed health benefits.

"I think we can all agree that trolling people on the internet is an essential part of this protocol," one comment reads. "You can practically feel your telomeres lengthening with each angry reply."

People certainly do bite on whatever bait that Johnson is supposedly laying out, as another commenter details how they "would rather die young than live like this, truly."

Others have recounted their own personal experiences with these methods, with a third writing: "I've been doing focused shockwave on my whole body for years too! And sauna after exercise for years too! Good to see we think alike. I also look like a teenager although I'm much older."
