Bryan Johnson, a tech entrepreneur turned longevity guru, has gained attention for his extreme health regimen and start-up company, Blueprint, which sells health supplements and other products. Johnson’s pursuit of everlasting youth and longevity has been the focus of a Netflix documentary released in January, showcasing his unconventional practices, including taking 54 pills daily and consuming a drink called “the green giant.”
Despite Johnson’s public success and claim of reversing his biological age by 5.1 years, cracks are beginning to show in his carefully curated image and Blueprint’s business operations. Johnson’s extensive use of confidentiality agreements to control information about himself and his company has led to pushback from former employees who believe the agreements violate federal labor laws protecting workers.
Reports have emerged about financial challenges facing Blueprint, concerning side effects experienced by participants in a supplement study, and questions about the effectiveness and safety of the company’s products. Additionally, Johnson’s personal behavior, including requiring employees to sign agreements allowing him to be nude at work, has raised concerns about workplace boundaries and potential harassment.
Johnson’s legal battles with former employees, such as his ex-fiancée Taryn Southern, who sued him over confidentiality and payment issues, have highlighted the consequences of his use of these agreements. Employees are now banding together to challenge Johnson’s restrictive practices, with complaints filed with the National Labor Relations Board calling for greater transparency and accountability within Blueprint and his other ventures. Johnson’s attempt to maintain secrecy may be crumbling under the weight of employee dissatisfaction and growing scrutiny.
