Cracking the Code of Aging: Inside "Project Blueprint" | Bryan Johnson

[@davebudge4526]

I love how Bryan is so open and good humoured about how eccentric he might be perceived for doing all this ,he's not defensive or arrogant at all and you can tell he is really enjoying this journey he's on.

[@safiahnordin5116]

Exactly, thats why i follow this guy👍

[@runecscapeman]

Warmed up my Super Veggie to eat while watching. I love the confidence Blueprint has given me. The love for myself has increased 10 fold. SUPER GRATEFUL for Bryan leading the way on this life long endeavor.

[@jreverie7018]

Keep it up! Another day not spawning in Lumbridge is another good day

[@waynehedd]

I love how Bryan keeps trying to promote basic sleep and exercise over buying his supplements or meal plans.... so authentic this guy!

[@familyofstars]

Whoa.. Bryan is ex mormon. As someone who was excommunicated at 17 y/o for apostasy, I am even more invested in seeing his success. I've been criticised for aiming to maintain my bodily purity, as if it were some type hangover from Mormon indocrination, but to me it is just the logical and loving way to be towards my body. I tried the bad food and the alcohol...and that was a recipe for misery. I very much listen to my intuition... But I think approaching things with this scientific method is so useful and has inspired me to keep moving towards my own health goals.I love the data collection. This is a fascinating experiment. I would love to see humanity as healthy and as joyful as possible. Thanks Bryan! And thanks for this interview James!

[@dledman]

11:45 thank you Bryan for your generously sharing this valuable trailblazed information. Have been adopting Blueprint for the past month, strictly too and have never felt this incredible in my life (stronger, more mentally acute, creative, calm, social. My cardio and sexual performance had the biggest improvement). That old evening Dan came in and convinced me to celebrate a work achievement and staying on this protocol with some Chinese food - I feel like absolute shit, poisoned and bloated. Definitely determined now to stick to the protocol now more than ever.

[@juliafisherlmmortalbeauty9119]

That’s amazing!!! Well done! I’m on the edge seriously considering starting just need to prepare myself mentally x

[@maxivy]

James, you asked thought provoking, detailed, nuanced and original questions to Bryan. Really glad you did. This vid needs more views.

Yes, but what was the answer on the question how Bryan's memory was? I think while answering he had forgotten the question.

[@mcgillsoriano]

No he isn't. Look at him in 2015 vs now. This guy is clearly prematurely aging. Idk why he lies saying he's getting younger because he took 60 pills a day LMFAO

[@oijgg3p]

​@@angry_AustraliaThose pills are vitamins and metals. And his skin in white because sun makes skin die faster.. he is way healthier now. Also, if you faking listened anything, you would learn to read the data, not look and express your dumb opinion. This guy does not have an opinion when it comes to health, data says it all.

I remember listening to this on the podcast. Watching it, I see how young this guy looks. But missing bagels, that’s going to be difficult. This reminded me of your David Sinclair podcast and Dr. Gundry podcast. Good stuff

[@dledman]

I thought I would miss my old favourite foods too. But now after being on Blueprint for awhile now I feel toxic and bloated when I eat those foods. The awful experience helps reset your psychological desire for such unhealthy options.

[@peterz53]

@43 min on sleep tips: I can attest to those tips. If I eat within 3 hours of bed time I can readily see the negative effects on my Oura data and how I feel the next day. Same with alcohol, although and a single drink with my meal seems to be OK most nights, but I rarely drink any more. One thing that I haven't delt with is my dog who sleeps on my bed. I know she wakes me by moving around or crowds me, but don't have the heart to crate her. I also agree based on my experience; the psychological benefits of good sleep are enormous.

[@barath4545]

I've had okay results with a nightcap, but you are 100% right on the food - All the well farting etc and whatever goes on while sleeping fucks with my quality. Had anxiety (over work and relationships) and the nightcaps coupled with audio ASMR or reading a book has helped me GET to sleep after which the quality at least improved overnight, rather than having no sleep till 2-3 AM.

[@fr1571]

I love Bryan Johnson and what he’s doing. The host and his comments and questions are terrible though. He’s also, at times, slurring his words and sounds generally uninformed.

[@tex959]

He needs to get on Brian's health plan😂

[@lindalembeck7286]

Bryan Johnson doesn't distinguish the fact that his mind is also telling him to follow his new protocol and to get healthy. Completely demonizing the mind in its totality is an inaccurate way of describing the more primitive aspects of the mind from what can be called our higher selves. Self mastery, which has never been easy, is the goal. It makes me sad to see younger generations giving up on this and thinking AI should control their lives because human minds are too primitive. The human mind can do things that a machine will never be able to replicate no matter how advanced the programming, because the mind surpasses programming. I realize this idea is not in vogue with most academics.

[@sugarcravings1797]

The mind feels, thinks, wills, etc., it's not exclusively 'wills'. There's more than sankhara, and there's something greater than the mind: consciousness.

[@observerone6727]

Almost all people think that their mind/awareness is one being. It is not ! There is a very large/vast committee in our head - makes sense since we have 100 billion neurons, millions of complex separated regions. And there are parts of our own brain that are not our friend (such as choiceless addictions that don't give a damn about us long-term). If a person is lucky, they find their true decisive survivor.

[@The150YearOldMan]

"No one else is doing it better than Blueprint"... (?). There are always greater people doing things, to be encountered. In ...The Quest for Healthy Longevity, the protocol is three meals per week. Basically a 46 hour fast, three times a week along with a 70 hour weekly fast being sustainable (key word, sustainable). This quest approach heavily competes with Blueprint, in extending life span and health span....

[@CheapSushi]

The difference is no one is doing it with DATA, actual measurable science based on facts. Only he is. People can say and do anything. But he is backed up by numbers.

[@soez_strg6166]

@@CheapSushi It's meaningless because he chooses which markers he measures. For example, he doesn't measure DHT, estrogen, prolactin levels, even if they are important for normal cognitive functioning due to him crashing his DHT levels to keep hair. He also has to take steroids and GH to be able to run his nonsense protocol due to it being so unhealthy and is essentially infertile for this same reason. Not to mention all the mental side effects. He is either delusional, or a fraud. "+ Free testosterone index (FTI) biological age reduced 20 years" He writes this on his website when his protocol makes him impotent and he has to take exogenous hormones to have that level. I liked Bryan at first, but the inconsistencies keep piling up and I'm now convinced he does this purely for clout or money.

[@nodelayfordays8083]

If anything this shows how tme consuming and expensive it is to maintain good health, how complacent with a poor not even medicore health care system we've grow to be.

[@KS-yp1jl]

Wrong. What he's doing is expensive in terms of research, but the basics of the protocol are affordable to pretty much anyone.

[@nodelayfordays8083]

@@KS-yp1jl the pills can add up and the medical equipment or seeing a doctor to get the same tests he has which is key to know what amount of each pill/diet works for you personally also adds up and takes time.

[@CheapSushi]

It's time consuming on his side because him and his team are doing everything they can to make things miserable and text different theories, etc. He's trying to figure out what works and what doesn't, what's worth doing or not, etc. It doesn't mean every single thing he is doing is necessary or worth it. But he's testing as much as he can to figure that out. The actual Blueprint won't be as time consuming.

[@randomfocus1549]

I like Bryan and all hes doing however regarding the vegan diet hes on i feel he should note hes supplementing with Testosterone and HGH.. id like to see his system run, exactly as it stands calorie wise but include animal fats.

[@CheapSushi]

He's also using animal sourced collagen. His stance on veganism or carnovire, etc is neutral. He's just doing it on personal preference based on his viewpoint about some aspects of it. If someone wanted to follow a similar protocol (blueprint) like him but on animal heavy products, he wouldn't object.

[@blobtv7444]

Every video I've seen with Bryan he looks yellow, something is off with this guy even with all that money and testing

[@CheapSushi]

It's because he's a ginger naturally and he's at 5% body fat (proved by an MRI), so his skin is thin. There are multiple types of melanin, and some people are genetic predisposed to more eumelanin, or more pheomelanin, etc for example.

[@juliafisherlmmortalbeauty9119]

@@CheapSushi There's nothing to "prove." Humans are an open system so the second law of thermodynamics doesn't apply to us with respect to aging. Sure, we have to counteract entropy to survive but this doesn't result in aging. The entropy of two people with same mass are virtually the same with differences arsing from the degrees of freedom of the water molecules. There are species on this planet that don't age (a species of Jellyfish, hydra, planaria). If entropy caused aging then this wouldn't be possible.
