Bryan Johnson, the American entrepreneur known for his radical longevity experiments, has now incorporated garam masala, a popular Indian spice blend, into his diet. The 47-year-old biohacker, who claims to have reversed his biological age by 5.1 years and regrown his hair, spends an estimated $2 million annually on anti-ageing treatments.

Johnson, who recently made headlines for walking out of Nikhil Kamath’s podcast due to poor air quality in India, shared his meal plan for the upcoming days. His diet includes a Blueprint Superfood Smoothie, Butternut Squash Soup with Roasted Apples and Carrots, and a Black Bean and Mushroom Bowl with Chickpea Rice. Among the listed ingredients, garam masala caught the attention of Indian social media users.

During his December visit to Mumbai and Bengaluru, Johnson took extreme measures to maintain his strict diet, bringing all his meals for six days. Explaining his cautious approach, he stated, “The first rule is this: food is guilty until proven innocent. This is why I’ve brought with me to India every calorie I’ll eat for six days.”

His strict dietary regimen drew mixed reactions online. One user sarcastically commented, “Protein has left the chat.” Johnson responded, “Steven, nice to see you over here. I think your first time visiting the neighborhood.” Another user inquired, “How do you deal with all the farts from black beans and lentils?” Meanwhile, a third user appreciated his meal updates, stating, “I love these posts about what you are eating. They encourage me to focus more energy on my meal prep. I am not vegan and I’m currently following a ketogenic diet, but my meal prep has become healthier and more nutritionally sound. Thank you!”

Johnson’s podcast appearance on Nikhil Kamath’s show, WTF is Longevity?, took an unexpected turn when he arrived with an air purifier and wore a mask shortly into the conversation. Ultimately, he left midway, later voicing his concerns over India’s air pollution. He remarked that Indians are “justifiably outraged” over the deteriorating air quality.

As the longevity-obsessed millionaire continues his relentless pursuit of reversing ageing, his dietary choices—now including garam masala—remain a topic of curiosity and debate.
