New York Post • • health
Key Points:
- Biohacker Bryan Johnson revealed he has autoimmune gastritis (AIG), an incurable condition where his stomach lining is being damaged by his immune system, affecting only 2-5% of people.
- Johnson has a history of autoimmune thyroid disease and iron deficiency, with interconnected issues making treatment complex, as low iron impairs thyroid hormone activation and hypothyroidism affects iron usage.
- Despite the grim prognosis and standard medical care focusing on symptom management, Johnson plans to actively monitor his condition through blood tests, biopsies, and experimental treatments.
- His diagnosis followed persistent low ferritin levels despite iron supplementation, with tests including endoscopy, blood biomarkers, and stomach biopsies confirming AIG.
- Johnson continues his biohacking approach to health, aiming to optimize diagnostics and explore innovative interventions to manage and potentially address the autoimmune gastritis.
