An algorithm governs his life...
2. Approach
@bryan_johnson created Project Blueprint to be an algorithm to run his body.
Bryan doesn't make any decisions. He measures all 70+ organs through hundreds of tests & they govern his behavior.
30 doctors study the literature and test it on him.
3. Avoid Self Destructive Behavior
Bryan sold Braintree for $800 million.
But he was 50 lbs overweight, depressed, and borderline suicidal.
He started with the basics. He stopped committing self-harm.
Stop:
- Overeating
- Eating poorly
- Skipping sleep
- Drinking too much
4. Diet Overview
Daily he eats:
- in a 6-8 hour window
- 1,977 calories
- 100+ pills
- 3 meals
- Vegan
He's vegan (except for collagen peptides) by choice. His head doctor and son do blueprint with meat.
This is a ~24% caloric restriction.
