The symbol of longevity is ill: Bryan Johnson's autoimmune gastritis reignites the debate on biohacking

Bryan Johnson, an American entrepreneur known for his extensive health monitoring and anti-aging experiments, has been diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis. This condition occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the stomach’s parietal cells, which produce hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor—both essential for digestion and nutrient absorption. The disease often goes undetected for years due to its slow progression. Johnson revealed the diagnosis through his social media accounts, highlighting how even individuals who closely track their health can still develop chronic conditions without immediate symptoms.
