This startling documentary by Chris Smith (Fyre, 100 Foot Wave) is told through intimate access to Bryan Johnson, a man who has dedicated his life to defy aging. Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever dives into the controversial wellness practices one man is using to maintain youth and vitality, and the effect this journey has on himself and those around him."

The trailer offers a glimpse into the extreme measures Johnson has adopted in his pursuit of longevity. In the trailer, Mr Johnson shows off the extreme measures he has taken in his pursuit of extending his natural life. He explains the motivation behind his search for eternal life and states while undergoing his first-ever gene therapy session, "I’m trying to be on the outermost edge of possibility for the science."

Johnson also shares the deeply personal motivation behind his search for eternal youth , "I really want to have multiple lifetimes with my son. One hundred years is not enough."

The trailer further shows Mr Johnson, along with his son and father, taking part in the first "multi-generational" plasma exchange.

Are anti-aging treatments healthy?

Anti-aging treatments can have both positive and negative effects on your health:

Positive effects: Some anti-aging treatments can improve the appearance of your skin, such as chemical peels, which remove the outer layer of old skin to reveal smoother, younger skin. Other treatments, like microneedling, can improve the texture and appearance of your skin by boosting collagen and elastin growth.

Negative effects: Anti-aging treatments can have side effects like redness, swelling, bruising, and pain. More serious side effects include scarring, infections, allergic reactions, and even vision loss. Some anti-aging treatments can also carry health risks, such as an increased risk of cancer or cardiovascular disease.

Anti-aging treatments can be expensive and may require multiple sessions or ongoing maintenance. Some treatments may only provide temporary results, and the results may be subtle or not noticeable at all.
