Who is Dave Pascoe, who once led Bryan Johnson in the anti-ageing Olympics? He takes 170 capsules a day, spends at least US$30,000 on his regime, and calls his body ‘a prized racehorse'
Tech giant and millionaire Bryan Johnson, star of the Netflix documentary Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, may be an online sensation for his age-defying antics, but he is by no means the only one obsessed with
biohacking . There are so many people interested in enhancing longevity that Johnson created an online leaderboard called the Rejuvenation Olympics, where participants are ranked by the pace at which they're slowing down their ageing process.

Surprisingly, Johnson was once outranked on that leaderboard by Dave Pascoe, who describes himself as a 'biohacker and rejuvenation and longevity athlete' on his Instagram account. According to his website, he is 62 but claims to have an epigenetic age of precisely 37.95.
