In a Netflix documentary<\/a> released in January, Bryan Johnson<\/a>, a tech entrepreneur turned longevity guru, walked people through his morning routine. After tracking his sleep, he would wake up early to conduct audio therapy and hair therapy, do an hour of exercise and take 54 different pills with a drink called \u201cthe green giant,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Johnson also talked about his long-life start-up, Blueprint, which sells health supplements, blood-testing equipment and other products tied to his personal diet and recommendations.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy doing Blueprint, one of the key objectives is to achieve the lowest possible biological age,\u201d he declared. He added that his health regimen had \u201creversed my biological age 5.1 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Netflix feature was a breakout moment in Mr. Johnson\u2019s five-year campaign to become the face of one of Silicon Valley\u2019s most oddball fascinations: the pursuit of everlasting youth. The 47-year-old former Mormon missionary has become known for experimenting on his own body to defy aging, captivating the media and his nearly four million social media followers by receiving the blood plasma of his then-17-year-old son and repeatedly shocking his penis to increase his erections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

His fame has also appeared to catapult Blueprint to success. In January, Mr. Johnson hailed his start-up as \u201cone of the fastest-growing companies in the world, fueled by word of mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

But away from the cameras, his carefully curated profile and Blueprint\u2019s business are starting to show cracks \u2014 especially with a brewing fight over Mr. Johnson\u2019s use of a legal document: confidentiality agreements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
