About this episode

Do you think one bad night of sleep can really harm your body?

Would you try a routine that could help you reverse aging?

Today, Jay sits down with Bryan Johnson, entrepreneur and founder of Blueprint, who is redefining human health and longevity. Dubbed "the world's most measured human," Bryan shares his extraordinary journey of reversing aging and improving biological performance through science-backed methods and a meticulously designed lifestyle.

Bryan discusses how his $2 million-a-year protocol isn't just about extreme spending but about pioneering a blueprint for everyone. He explains the concept of "don't die," emphasizing the potential for humanity to extend life and improve health at unprecedented levels. From his diet of precision-crafted meals to his groundbreaking work in measuring microplastics and organ health, Bryan's insights challenge conventional norms about aging, health, and longevity.

Together with Jay, Bryan dives deep into actionable takeaways, such as the five pillars of perfect sleep, the importance of building systems over relying on willpower, and how to minimize exposure to environmental toxins like microplastics. Bryan also addresses controversial topics, including the downsides of cheat days and the role of technology in managing health.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Reverse Aging Through Measured Health Metrics

How to Optimize Your Diet for Longevity

How to Manage Stress With Better Sleep

How to Create a System for Healthy Living

How to Rewire Your Taste Buds for Better Nutrition

How to Lower Inflammation With Simple Daily Habits

You don’t need millions of dollars or cutting-edge technology to start—just a commitment to making small, intentional changes. 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
