At 70 years old, I've decided to set an audacious goal: I intend to be the first human to live to 200 years old. This isn't just wishful thinking—it's the foundation of my new venture, the 200 Year Life Project: The Ultimate Longevity Journey. Inspired by pioneers like Bryan Johnson and his "Don't Die" philosophy, I'm documenting every step of this radical experiment in health, biohacking, and extreme longevity and I'm inviting you to join me. Why Now? Why Me? For decades, I pushed my body to the limit. I smoked three packs a day from 1969 until I quit in 1989. Heavy drinking was part of my routine starting around the same time, though I've since cut it out entirely. At my heaviest, I tipped the scales at over 350 pounds and now I'm holding steady at around 184 pounds. Sleep? I used to average just five hours a night, leaving me foggy and drained. Something shifted when I dove into the latest advancements in AI and longevity science. Predictions suggest we're on the cusp of massive leaps in human lifespan: from today's average of about 78 years to 100, then 120, and beyond. I don't want to miss out. My aim is to arrive there in sound mind and body—stronger at 200 than I am today. Watching Bryan Johnson's documentary "Don't Die" was a turning point. His relentless pursuit of reversing aging lit a fire under me. If he's pushing boundaries with rigorous protocols, why can't a 70-year-old Boomer like me do the same? My Starting Point: Radical Changes for Radical Results. I've already made big shifts, and the benefits are immediate: Sleep: Upped to 7.5 hours per night. The difference in mental clarity, memory, and alertness is profound. Weight and Habits: Down from 350+ pounds, no more smoking or drinking. Mindset: Ditched prescription meds that were holding me back, focusing instead on natural optimization. This isn't a solo mission. I'm building a live, public database of everything I track at GaryLeland.com/data. Copy it, tweak it, improve it. We're all in this together—competing to outlive each other in the best way possible. Through my upcoming YouTube channel and podcast, "The 200 Year Life Project," I'll share In-depth looks at my personal routines along with interviews with longevity experts (starting with potential guests like Bryan Johnson?). Product tests and biohacking experiments Real-time updates on what works (and what doesn't) I'm not a doctor—just a determined 70-year-old sharing my journey. Always consult a healthcare professional before trying anything new. Join the Ultimate Longevity Journey. Imagine a world where 200 isn't impossible. We're standing at the edge of breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, personalized nutrition, and anti-aging tech. By sharing openly, we accelerate progress for everyone.Subscribe to the channel, follow along on GaryLeland.com, and let's build a community of like-minded people chasing extraordinary health spans.

    She Says Gene Therapy Made Her 20 Years Younger | Elizabeth Parrish, BioViva
    Jun 28 2026
    She says she reversed 20 years of biological aging by testing gene therapy on her own body before anyone else. In this episode of The 200 Year Life Project, Gary Leland sits down with Elizabeth Parrish, founder and CEO of BioViva, the first person to undergo gene therapy specifically aimed at reversing aging. Gary, 71 and dead serious about reaching 200, talks with Parrish about how telomere and myostatin gene therapy works, what her published telomere data showed, why these therapies are still done outside the US, and how she believes affordable gene therapy could change human lifespan and healthspan. They also get into longevity escape velocity, the "catch the wave" theory of riding longevity breakthroughs, and the simple habits that move the needle most. Everything Parrish describes about her own results and BioViva's therapies is her account and her company's claims, shared for discussion. This channel does not assert medical efficacy and nothing here is medical advice. Talk to a qualified physician before making any health decision.

  • We're 71 and We Just Joined a Secret "Live to 200" Mastermind

    We're 71 and We Just Joined a Secret "Live to 200" Mastermind
    Jun 9 2026

    Kathy and I are 71 and we just spent days in a room full of doctors and scientists who believe aging is optional. This is what happened at the DaVinci50 Longevity Mastermind in Sundance, Utah, and the two decisions it pushed us to make on our way to 200. We didn't know what to expect at our very first mastermind. We left as members and already booked our full genome sequencing.

    ─────────────────────────────────

    🎙️ HERE'S WHO LIT A FIRE UNDER US.

    ─────────────────────────────────

    🧬 Elizabeth Parrish (CEO, BioViva) the first person in the world to undergo experimental gene therapy targeting aging itself, including telomere extension. Her message: turn belief into biology.

    🩺 Michael Roizen, M.D. (Cleveland Clinic, creator of "RealAge") practical, evidence-based steps you can start today: 10,000 steps, strength training, jumping for bone health, and smart nutrition.

    ⚡ Harry Massey (founder, NES Health) a whole new lens on health through bioenergetics and the human body-field.

    🔬 Wei-Wu He, Ph.D. (Executive Chairman, Human Longevity, Inc.) catching cancer and age-related disease years before symptoms with genomic sequencing and AI.

    ─────────────────────────────────

    Founded by Richard Rossi, DaVinci50 is an invite-only community pushing real rejuvenation science gene therapy, stem cells, genomics, bioenergetics into use now, instead of waiting decades.

  • I Drank Holy Water

    I Drank Holy Water
    May 15 2026
    What Happened When I Drank & Bathed in Lourdes Holy Water . At 71 years old, I'm dead serious about reaching 200 in peak health. Most episodes of The 200 Year Life Project are all about science, sleep, saunas, supplements, and exercise… but this one is different. Kathy and I traveled to Lourdes, France to experience the world-famous holy spring water that's been associated with miraculous healings for over 165 years. In this episode: The full story of Saint Bernadette and the 1858 apparitions What it's really like to take the total immersion bath (including the cold shock and powerful feeling afterward) Why thousands of blue wheelchairs line the sanctuary every day. How I brought 2 gallons home and added it to my daily morning protocol. My exact method: 1 eyedropper of Lourdes water in my coffee every single day Whether you're religious, skeptical, or somewhere in between — this is a fascinating look at faith, placebo, unexplained healing, and one man's willingness to explore every possible edge on the journey to 200. Even if you never plan to visit Lourdes, this episode will make you think differently about mind-body-spirit connection in longevity.
