Bryan Johnson reveals autoimmune stomach condition from extreme longevity regimen

Bryan Johnson, the tech entrepreneur known for spending $2 million a year on his anti-aging quest, recently went public with an incurable autoimmune stomach disease. The article reports his condition involves his stomach "eating itself." Given how extensively Johnson talks about his peptide protocol, NAD+ boosting, and experimental compounds, this feels like a major reality check for the biohacking crowd.
I’ve followed his work for a while, and while his data-driven approach is impressive, seeing a healthy-seeming guy in his 40s develop a chronic autoimmune issue makes me wonder what the long-term cost of that level of optimization really is. It’s easy to get caught up in the promise of feeling younger, but this story underscores that pushing biology past its normal limits can have serious downsides. What do you all think, is this the price of extreme longevity, or a sign that his protocol needs a serious rethink?
