Bryan Johnson sold his company to PayPal for $800m.

He's since invested that money into optimising himself.

His goal is to slow the speed of his biological age as much as possible. And in 7 months, he lowered his by over 5 years!

📝 Your chronological age is what your birth certificate tells you. Your biological age is what your body tells you (through testing).


The Blueprint
is how he did it.

30kg+ of veggies a month. 27 different supplements a day. And regular testing of hundreds of biomarkers...

It's extreme. But fascinating.

We're not all going to start taking rapamycin and only eating between 7–11am.

He says it himself: “Blueprint is a lifestyle trade-off; one which I thoroughly enjoy.”

But there are some interesting things we can pluck out of it:

  • 🏋 His training routine is a daily strength and mobility session. Plus 10 minutes of high-intensity cardio (x3 a week). And a weekly long hike.
  • 😴 His sleep hygiene includes a blacked-out room, temperature-controlled bed, regular sleep/awake times, limiting water before bed to avoid midnight toilet run and blue light blocking on screens
  • 🥦 His diet pretty much consists of fruit, veg, seeds and nuts
