Тэрбумтан Брайан Жонсон найз бүсгүй Кейт Тологийн сарын тэмдгийн мөчлөгт нарийвчилсан хяналт тавьж, эрүүл мэндийн өгөгдөл цуглуулах өргөн хүрээтэй судалгааг эхлүүлжээ.
Биохакер Брайан Жонсон найз бүсгүй Кейт Тологийн өдөр тутмын амьдралын хэв маягийг 50 гаруй төхөөрөмж ашиглан нарийвчлан хянаж эхэлснээ мэдэгдлээ. Энэхүү судалгаа нь эмэгтэйчүүдийн сарын тэмдгийн мөчлөгийн талаарх түүхэн дэх хамгийн дэлгэрэнгүй мэдээллийн санг бүрдүүлэх зорилготой аж. Жонсоны тайлбарласнаар, анагаах ухаанд эмэгтэйчүүдийн эрүүл мэндийн асуудал хангалттай судлагдаагүй байгаа тул уг төсөл нь шинжлэх ухааны мэдлэгийг нэмэгдүүлэх ач холбогдолтой юм.
Төслийн хүрээнд Кейт Тологийн биеийн байдлыг 12 хүний бүрэлдэхүүнтэй эмнэлгийн баг хянаж, 14 сая орчим өгөгдлийн цэгийг цуглуулж байна. Үүнд нойрны хяналтын төхөөрөмж болон цусны урсгалыг хянах зориулалттай тусгай төхөөрөмжүүд багтаж байгаа юм. Жонсоны “Immortals” компаниас санхүүжүүлж буй уг судалгаа жилд 2.6 сая ам.долларын өртөгтэй бөгөөд эхний 100 хоногийн турш суурь хэмжилтийг хийсний дараа эмчилгээний арга хэмжээнүүдийг туршихаар төлөвлөжээ.
Кейт Толо нь саяхан эндометриоз, полиэндокрин метаболизмын өндгөвчний хам шинж болон аденомиоз зэрэг оноштой болсноо мэдээлсэн билээ. Үүний зэрэгцээ Брайан Жонсон өөрөө дархлааны системийн гаралтай ходоодны үрэвсэл гэсэн оноштой болохоо зарласан. Тэрээр судалгааны явцад гарсан эерэг болон сөрөг бүх үр дүнг олон нийтэд ил тод танилцуулахаа амласан юм.

“Don’t Die” biohacker Bryan Johnson has revealed the astounding daily routine of his girlfriend, Kate Tolo, who’s compiling what he says will be the most exhaustive collection of data on the female menstrual cycle.
Tolo’s minute-by-minute schedule includes 100-plus tasks that require the use of more than 50 devices to measure various life processes and take samples of her blood, urine and stool, according to information Johnson posted on social media Wednesday.
And even while in bed at night, Tolo is being monitored by a sleep ring and what Johnson, a multimillionaire entrepreneur, called a “techno tampon.”
In a brief email exchange with The Independent, Johnson — whose $2 million-a-year anti-aging program was detailed in last year’s Netflix documentary Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever — said the goal of Tolo’s extraordinary efforts was to increase medical knowledge.
“Women are not well understood medically,” he said. “Kate will provide the most comprehensive data set on a female menstrual cycle in history.”
When asked about the so-called techno tampon, Johnson said only: “We will be sharing more on that soon.”
But Tolo, 30, appeared to show off the gadget in a photograph published earlier this month by The Wall Street Journal, which made reference to “an acrylic device inserted into her vagina, which she said is intended to track blood-flow variations.”
Tolo’s project is expected to cost $2.6 million a year and is being funded by the couple’s company Immortals, which sells supplements and other products, access to prescription medicine an a concierge medical practice, according to the Journal.
On social media, Johnson, 48, said Tolo was “collecting 14 million data points on her menstrual cycle” and was being monitored by a 12-person medical team.
“This is a world first for female health,” he wrote.
Johnson also pledged to “post all results including the good, bad and ugly in addition to sharing all the practical insights.”
“This will be the most quantified menstrual cycle ever. And this is just to collect baseline measurement,” he wrote. “Once we’re done with the 100 days, we’ll start trying interventions.”
Earlier this month, Johnson announced that Tolo had been diagnosed with endometriosis, a condition in which cells similar to the lining of the uterus grow outside it.
Tolo told the Journal that she also learned she has polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome and adenomyosis, where the uterine lining grows into the organ’s outer muscle wall, and that she’s long suffered severe pain during her monthly periods.
The sharing of Tolo’s health challenges came just weeks after Johnson revealed that he’d been diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis, an incurable, chronic condition in which a person’s immune system attacks acid-making cells in the upper stomach.
Johnson described the effects as his stomach “eating itself” and said it was likely tied to an earlier diagnosis of of autoimmune hypothyroidism at age 21.
“Had I not taken care of my body during the past five years, the situation would be much worse so I am very grateful to have been focused on health,” he told The Independent after going public with his latest diagnosis.
