Bryan Johnson:
Bryan Johnson is the world's most measured human. Johnson sold his company, Braintree Venmo, to PayPal for $800m in 2013. Through his Project Blueprint, Johnson has achieved metabolic health equal to the top 1.5% of 18 year olds, inflammation 66% lower than the average 10 year old, and reduced his speed of aging by the equivalent of 31 years.
Johnson freely shares his protocols and data publicly for everyone to use. Project Blueprint, is an endeavor to achieve humanity and earth scale cooperation starting within Self.
In 2023, Johnson launched Rejuvenation Olympics, a leaderboard assessing one's speed of aging using DNA methylation. Of the 1,750 people who have been using this state-of-the-art aging algorithm to track their progress longitudinally, Johnson ranks #1 in speed of age reduction.
Johnson is also the founder & CEO of Kernel, creator of the world’s first mainstream non-invasive neuroimaging system; and OS Fund, where he invested $100M in the predictable engineering of atoms, molecules, and organisms into companies now collectively valued over $6B. He is an outdoor adventure enthusiast, pilot, and author of children’s books, "Code 7" and "The Proto Project."

Great guy is Bryan. My number 1 inspiration to fight the war against time and to be the biologically youngest healthiest version of myself. Thanks Bryan

[@robynhope219]

This guy is from another planet.

[@c0nsci0usness]

He said he tried everything for depression--you should've asked him the obvious. Did he try psychedelics? Also, I would like to ask Bryan how important are the things you AVOID rather than just the supplements/food you eat? How rigorously does he avoid processed food, contacting various toxic chemicals with his skin, chlorine in swimming pools, cleaning supplies, etc.

[@MsJavaWolf]

He has an extremely strict diet, every single meal is planned, this means he absolutely never eats processed food. I also know that he avoids UV radiation as much as possible.

[@shaunmadden545]

He does not talk about it but it looks like he has a dmt molecule on his arm. Also i think if he did get help from psychedelics he wouldn't talk about it because he wants to spread a more mainstream version of himself and blueprint.

[@robynhope219]

He did mushrooms.

[@zibtihaj3213]

Mmmh interesting …. I think he touched about physediclics but not DMT … that might have been a part of his transformation … He might be waiting for more research to come out to spread that or else you will have younger kids jumping on the DMT ….

[@RhythmJunkie]

@@shaunmadden545 It’s actually 5-MeO-DMT (aka the God Molecule)

[@studentaccount4354]

What is his real age, not the age he identifies as? If he is past 65 and looks the way he does (looks like he colors his hair) I might buy the 30 years younger. He can pass for in his mid twenties. I took care of my health in my twenties had a child people kept thinking I was a teen mom. There are actionable things you can do to stay healthy but turning the clock backwards seems like a stretch. I still was in my twenties. If you stop the regime your body may catch back up. Ageism is a stereotype resisting the natural process of aging. I think we should reframe this and talk about ageism. I do appreciate him taking charge of his health and finding a real purpose. Healthy body, healthy mind..life can be a struggle. Grind culture on the cult of perfectionism in your quest to return to youth. Youth does not mean ease and happiness. I find a plant based Whole Foods, SOS diet with b-12, vitamin d supplements helpful. Aging is a natural process to be embraced. However, being a healthy person living a long healthy life might be a goal that is attainable.

[@aioncrypto974]

Is Bryan’s tongue blue?

[@shaunmadden545]

He was probably doing a plaque check. you chew on a tablet that temporarily dyes your teeth and identifies plaque on your teeth. its good to check your brushing technique every now and then to make sure you are brushing correctly.

[@robynhope219]

Probably..he is otherworldly.

[@fr4nki318]

How do u not stay hungry past 11am?

[@hendrx]

your body adapts to that

[@robynhope219]

Yeah, but it's miserable..​@@hendrx

[@erderene]

In an other Interview Bryan said, he is constantly hungry all the time. ^^

[@robynhope219]

@@erderene o, I believe it..total misery.

[@Funça_do_ancapistão]

@@robynhope219 nah

[@success-fact]

Anyone here only for supplements information ? I don’t get all his topics talk about now! What they are talking about actually? Movie? Future? Or supplements for aging?

[@gareeall]

Supplements were raised right at the start, then Johnson sidetracked Paul, and Paul never raised it again (unless I missed something).

[@studentaccount4354]

I think they got distracted. I did not catch it either. Maybe next time.

[@success-fact]

What about the first question: what supplements are you taking Bryan Johnson? Then what’s happened ?
