Bryan Johnson sold his company to PayPal for $800 million in 2013.

Since then, he's been investing millions to reduce aging.

In 2021, he reduced his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in 7 months (World Record)

Here’s a breakdown of his “Blueprint” and my own experience with it: 🧵
@bryan_johnson created "Project Blueprint".

It aims to measure all 70+ organs of Bryans's body and then reverse the biological age of each as much as possible.

Bryan reduced his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in 7 months by following it.

From age 47 to 42.5.

How did he do it?
Step 1: Meal Prep

3 meals daily:

1. Super Veggie.
2. Nutty Pudding.
3. A third that varies and consists of vegetables, nuts, seeds, and berries.
Upon waking: The Green Giant

4 oz of water
Spermidine, 2 Tbsp chlorella powder, yielding 13.5mg spermidine
Amino Complex 7.6 g
Creatine 2.5 g
Collagen Peptides 20 g
Cocoa Flavanols 500 mg
Ceylon Cinnamon 1 tsp
1 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil [3]
Morning pills
Super Veggie:

Black lentils, 300 grams
Broccoli, 250 grams
Cauliflower. 150 grams
Shiitake or Maitake Mushrooms, 50 grams
Garlic, 1 clove
Ginger Root, 3 grams
Lime, 1
Cumin, 1 Tbsp
Apple Cider Vinegar, 1 Tbsp
Hemp Seeds, 1 Tbsp
Nutty Pudding:

50 mL Malk Almond Milk
3 Tbsp ground macadamia nuts
2 tsp of ground walnuts
1 tsp of ground flaxseed
1/2 brazil nut
1 Tbsp non dutched cocoa
1 tsp sunflower lecithin
1/2 tsp ceylon cinnamon
1 cup berries
3 cherries
2 oz freshly squeezed pomegranate juice
Examples Third Meals
Step 2: Supplements

Bryan takes about 25 pills everyday
Step 3: Track progress.

Bryan has had 100s of measurements taken.

Some are standard, such as biofluids and fitness scores.
Some are advanced, such as MRI and ultrasound.
And some uncommon, such as lungs, nerves, hearing, and intestinal tract.
But the blueprint is more than food and supplements.

It's also a combination of daily exercise, great sleep, and a skincare routine.
My experience.

Under the guidance of a health coach, personal trainer & mobility specialist I got the below modified plan:
Supplement & Workout routine
I got to be on the diet for 3 months and definitely enjoyed it and felt good on it.

Enjoying the Super Veggie today.
This is my variant of nutty pudding. Using dried zucchini and sometimes dried tomatoes. Tastes amazing!
I’ve been getting interest on which doctors, nutritionist & movement exercises can help implement this program.

Chris Gibson is 60 years old with an ageless skin.

He credits his youthful appearance to a simple, consistent routine.

Here is all you need to know about this routine.

Plus, the only ingredients you need to get similar results. Image
Let’s start with the basics of the routine:

1. Keep your hair out of your face with a headband to avoid buildup or bleaching around the hairline from ingredients like Retinoid or lactic acid present in these products.
2. Always keep your skin hydrated.
3. Use water-based serums before oils or moisturizers.
4. Always wear sunscreen to protect against sun damage.
MORNING ROUTINE:

Step 1: Cleansing

Chris washes his face in the morning if he used heavy moisturizers overnight. Otherwise, he steams his skin with a warm washcloth to remove facial oil.

Step 2: Hydration

He sprays Mario Badescu Facial Spray, which contains Aloe Vera and Sage, to hydrate.

Step 3: Exfoliation

Chris applies the Alpha Skin Care Renewal Serum, formulated with 14% glycolic acid, for 1 – 2 minutes to exfoliate and increase the speed at which the skin produces new cells (cellular turnover).

As we get older the skins slows cell production. So, a product like this helps to speed up the process and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lines.

Jenvel has reduced her epigenetic age to 21.

She’s currently the highest ranking woman in the world.

She is ageing 33% slower each year, and the costliest thing on her protocol is a $299 Electric Toothbrush.

Her protocol is so simple that you can begin tomorrow!

A breakdown🧵 Image
Jenvel's simple and budget-friendly protocol complements her career as a business consultant who travels often.

Compared to some other longevity protocols, hers is easer to follow and requires a fraction of what others spend on equipment, supplementation and expert guidance.
Let’s dive in!

For starters, Jenvel tries to make the best use of her time by using:
- Instacart for grocery deliveries to save 3hrs/w from in-person shopping
- Healthy meal delivery services to save approx. 14hrs of cooking/cleaning

Is plastic killing you?

A team of Italian scientists recently published an eye-opening study on microplastics and cardiovascular diseases.

Here’s what they found (it’s not good): Image
For 34 months, the scientists examined 257 patients with plaques in their carotid arteries. They found micro- and nanoplastics in the plaques of 58% of them.

They possessed a 4X higher risk of suffering stroke, heart attack, and death than those in whom these plastics weren’t detected.Image
This is concerning.

Microplastics are everywhere—water, food, clothes, and even the air—and they can infiltrate the plaque tissue.

The study raises possible risks these plastics pose to our health, especially as previous studies have linked them to obesity, infertility, cancer, and mental illness.

Dave Pascoe is 61.

Yet his epigenetic age is only 37.

He’s aging at an annual rate of 0.66, narrowly outpacing Bryan Johnson.

Here’s a breakdown of his biohacking protocol and how much it costs (it’s WAY less than you think): Image
Dave’s protocol has 7 core pillars.

It costs him only $30,000 annually (@bryan_johnson spends ~$2M).

He wanted an “affordable” regimen, so he built his from research, books and podcasts. He frequently does bloodwork to evaluate the effectiveness.

Here’s a deeper look at the 7 pillars:
1. Sleep

Dave used to use BioOptimizers Sleep Breakthrough and now doesn’t use anything.

He wakes without an alarm and gets 8 hours of (actual) sleep every night to aid recovery and brain function.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the amount of tasks you have to do?

If so, it's not your fault.

There's a 100-year-old psychological phenomenon holding you back.

Here's how to overcome it: 🧵
“I need to know what happens next!”

Ever found yourself saying this at the end of an episode?

If you did, you were a victim of the same psychological phenomenon that makes you feel overwhelmed by work.

Let me explain…
It’s 1920 and Soviet psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik is conducting a study.

She asked participants to complete a series of tasks that required focus and effort.

Some tasks were interrupted before they could finish them while others were allowed to be completed.

It's hard to build one billion-dollar company.

Jack Dorsey built 2 at the same time.

He had to be incredibly intentional with his time.

Here's how he spends it:🧵 Image
Jack wakes up at 5 am and jumps into an ice-cold bath to boost his mental confidence.

Then he practices an hour of silent meditation.

He also likes to drink 28 ounces of water or a mix of lemon juice water and Himalayan salt.
I tried waking up at 5 am and found it to be incredibly effective.

But it was really hard for me to retain.

I also do the ice bath once or twice a week. I find it energizing as well as the electrolytes and lemon water.

I really enjoy these habits. Image
