This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

And we wanted to like, because there was a few studies that showed that 100% of tested males.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

Men have microplastics in their balls and their semen.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

And so we wanted to basically pose this question, could we do anything in life that would lower my microplastic burden in my body, in my blood and on my semen?

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

And so we did a few things.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

Like one is cups they use for hot coffee.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

The heat causes the leaching of microplastics.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

So when you're drinking that coffee, you're consuming microplastics.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

And so we did that plus a whole bunch of other things to reduce it.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

And we dropped my microplastic burden by 87% in both blood and semen.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

And so that was a big win for us because no one in the world had ever demonstrated that, that you can look at both those things and look at the remediations.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

And the second thing we saw is we think that part of the reduction was from

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

the things we did like removing plastic cups, plastic cutting boards, like trying to remove plastic from the house, then also dry sauna.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

We think dry sauna was potentially, we're not sure, potentially the cause of reducing microplastics in the body overall.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

So it's kind of the example of where if you hear a headline of like toxin, like microplastic is scary, we try to lay out a clear path of like, you can do these things to reduce your exposure and to bring your levels down.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

So we do that systematically over like a whole bunch of things.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

But yeah, that's why I basically try to avoid any material that would be warmed and leach microplastics, whereas stainless steel, you don't have that leaching problem.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von

I mean, if your air fryer, I was looking into air fryer recently.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#644 - Bryan Johnson

I think a lot of them are made with plastic.
