Bryan Johnson controversially shared intimate details about his relationship and his partner’s vaginal health on social media. He revealed that Kate Tolo’s vaginal microbiome score is 100/100, placing her in the top 1% of all vaginas. This revelation has drawn attention to the broader implications of biohacking in sexual health.
Johnson, a biohacker, created Project Blueprint with the aim of reversing his biological age. He has invested around 2 million dollars annually into this initiative. His partner, Kate Tolo, is also involved in the longevity startup Blueprint.
According to Johnson, Tolo’s vaginal microbiome is dominated by Lactobacillus crispatus at 98.7%. Research indicates that only about 25-30% of reproductive-age women worldwide have a similar dominance of this beneficial bacteria. This unique composition can significantly reduce health risks associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
The lab analysis found no negative reports in Tolo’s microbiome sample, including STIs. Johnson noted that maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome can lead to lower risks for various health issues, including preterm birth and improved IVF outcomes.
Johnson and Tolo have been dating for over three years. Their relationship has gained public interest, especially following Johnson’s candid social media post: “Just gave Kate oral sex. Goodnight everyone.” This statement was met with mixed reactions from the public.
Tolo emphasized the importance of discussing oral sex and its associated risks. She stated, “Oral sex isn’t talked about enough despite carrying genuine risks.” She pointed out a public health gap where people often neglect testing for oral STIs or discussing dental health with partners.
This incident raises questions about privacy and the boundaries of sharing personal health information online. As biohacking gains popularity, the intersection of sexual health and public discourse continues to evolve.
