Millionaire "biohacker" Bryan Johnson has told triple j hack that a substantial part of the world wants him to die.
The 49-year-old and his Australian partner, Kate Tolo, said they remain committed to immortality as they turn their attention to women's health.
Medical professionals warn people not to confuse "good public health practices with vested interests".
Bryan Johnson just marked another birthday, a potential inconvenience for the man who says he wants to live forever.
Last week, the controversial Silicon Valley mogul turned 49.
But according to his Australian girlfriend, Kate Tolo, that number does not fit with Johnson's physical and mental state.
"He annoyingly feels younger than me!" the 30-year-old tells triple j hack.
Mackay-born Tolo, who has recently joined her boyfriend on his biohacking mission, seeking to become "the world's most measured woman", says she is excited by what is to come.
"In the back of both our minds, female health was always next, and it's such an important and deeply personal issue to me.
"Biohacking" refers to the practices of those committed to extreme anti-aging and longevity regimes.
Bryan Johnson recently visited Australia to meet Kate Tolo's family. (X: Bryan Johnson)
American millionaire Bryan Johnson is the movement's poster boy.

"We are ridiculous people. We are absurd," he tells hack.
