CEO Bryan Johnson, known for his age-reversing efforts, said yoga guru Ramdev blocked him on X after he disagreed with a post and left a comment.
Bryan Johnson is a US based millionaire, widely known as age reversing CEO accused RamDev Baba for blocking him on X after he made a comment on a video shared by the yoga guru and Pantanjali founder promoting his brand’s ‘anti-aging’ product.
This drama started after Johnson, 47, commented on the video shared by Ramdev, where he was seen running alongside a horse while promoting his brand’s products,’Swarna Shilajit’ and ‘Immunogrit Gold’
Ramdev claimed in his post that his products could improve immunity, boost energy, and even slow down aging. But Johnson disagreed. He responded by saying that the air quality in Haridwar, where Patanjali is based, is so bad that just breathing there could raise the risk of heart and lung problems.
In his post, which was in Hindi, Ramdev encouraged people to take Patanjali’s supplements if they wanted to “run like a horse” and stay young.

Johnson, however, saw things differently. He pointed out that the air quality in Haridwar was so bad that breathing there was like smoking 1.6 cigarettes a day. He said this could increase the risk of heart disease by 40-50%, raise the chances of lung cancer three times, and lead to other health problems, even shortening life by 5-7 years.
Soon after, Johnson posted on X, claiming that Ramdev had blocked him. Have a look at the post:
I replied with this comment and he hid it and blocked me:

Air quality in Haridwar right now is
PM₂.₅ 36 µg/m³ which is equal to smoking 1.6 cigarettes a day. This raises risks of heart disease by 40–50%, lung cancer by 3x, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and early death… pic.twitter.com/z99RZDjXar
This isn’t the first time Johnson has had issues with India’s air quality. Last year, he walked out of a podcast with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath because of pollution. Since then, he’s often posted about how bad air quality harms health.
Bryan Johnson has been in the news for his public efforts to reverse aging, which include strict routines, special diets, and experimental treatments.
