In early July 2026, tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson faced online backlash after posting intimate health data from his three‑year‑old girlfriend, Australian health‑startup co‑founder Kate Tolo. Critics highlighted privacy and ethical concerns about publicly sharing such detailed personal metrics.

By the end of July, Johnson announced a $52 million investment to create an exhaustive physiological map of Tolo’s body. The plan calls for more than 100 daily measurements over a full menstrual cycle, targeting roughly 14 million data points. Johnson presented the effort as a longevity‑research milestone, comparing it to the billions of data points he has gathered from himself, while observers continued to question consent and exposure aspects.

On 30 July, Johnson disclosed that he stores about 10 ml of Tolo’s menstrual blood frozen at –80 °C, claiming the sample provides a direct, non‑invasive view of the uterus for analysis of uterine cells, immune cells, stem cells, micro‑plastics, PFAS and other endocrine‑disrupting chemicals. He described a daily regimen employing around 50 devices, including a “techno‑tampon” that records blood flow, frequent blood draws, urine samples, hormone measurements, sleep and metabolic tracking, and physical assessments. The project is funded through his Immortals company and fits within his $2 million‑a‑year anti‑aging program.
