Curriculum Vitae

Meet John M. "Johnny" Adams -- CEO / Exec. Director Carl I. Bourhenne Medical Research Foundation dba Aging Intervention Foundation
501(c)(3) nonprofit | Founded 1979 | EIN 95-3097808
dba Aging Intervention Foundation

I worked with top physicians and medical professionals to create ASCEND to restore youth for long healthy life in others - and in myself.

For more than five decades I have pursued practical methods for slowing, reversing, and ultimately overcoming the biological processes of aging. Today my sharp focus is neurodegeneration - dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease and others.

Along the way I have researched hundreds of age-management therapies and personally experienced dozens, carefully tracking biomarkers and other objective measures whenever possible. My work has included helping organize research studies, evaluating emerging therapies, and building practical systems for measuring biological aging and therapeutic outcomes.

Through the Aging Intervention Foundation, the Gerontology Research Group, Age Reversal Network, BioFutures, and other organizations, I have collaborated with scientists, physicians, innovators, entrepreneurs, and highly informed individuals who share the goal of extending healthy human life.

I also maintain educational resources, online meetings, interviews with leading researchers, and websites dedicated to evidence-based longevity science, objective aging metrics, and the responsible exploration of emerging therapies.

The Flagship Briefing

Your path to ASCEND begins with a personal briefing lasting approx. 40 minutes. It includes a concise, easy-to-understand review of the biology behind our flagship FDA-approved biologic: carefully screened and matched young plasma.

You will learn what sets this approach apart, exploring the scientific foundation, clinical evidence, published research, and real-world case studies from people I personally know and trust. Together, these insights reveal why the therapy delivers outcomes that are measurably far superior than other approaches.

Highlights of the Briefing

• Johnny Adams' 50 years experience
  • research and solutions development for the restoration of youth, and long healthy life
  • now sharp focus on neurodegeneration (dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's)

• Case studies showing positive results of young plasma infusions
  • general systemic aging
  • neurodegeneration - dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinsin's Disease, neuropathy

• Young plasma is effective - and safe
  • FDA approved biologic
  • 1,500–3,000 plasma infusions per day in the US
  • one of the most highly regulated biologics

• Activates, repairs and renews systems that no longer work when we get old
• replaces senescent, misfolded, depleted, oxidized, glycated, worn out, defective, dysfunctional, and just plain old components . . .
• with young ones that work much better to benefit health and longevity

• Youth promoting actions:
  • biomolecules are much younger, and perform tasks much better to keep our older bodies running more smoothly and efficiently
  • the young exosomes, cytokines, and proteins trigger quiescent (dormant) stem cells

• Key points: Unlike most single therapies and combinations, young plasma affects an extremely wide range of therapeutic targets and hallmarks
  • contains a full range of many thousands of geroprotective and repair components that are balanced and complementary – far more effective than one therapy, or several in combination (stack)
    • top level component categories include exosomes, peptides, cytokynes, growth factors, metabolites, nutrients, miRNAs, regulatory proteins – hormones, enzymes, mitochondria, minerals, electrolytes, albumin, antibodies
    • beneath these categories lie many thousands of types of individual biomolecules
  • in familiar terms: if your car were due for a tune-up, would you replace just one or two spark plugs—or the entire set?
  • this balance is consistent with the target we are aiming for: youth

The treatment and the science behind its benefits can appear complex at first.  A complete understanding comes from having the briefing, asking questions, and receiving detailed explanations.
