Hi Everyone, as you watch this, it’s worth remembering a few things: 1) My body and mind were trashed in every way for 23 years. Chronic depression, obesity, terrible sleep, raising 3 kids, startup founder/CEO grind culture behavior. My turn around in 2 years time to near perfect whole body health markers (as measured by biofluids, devices, imaging and fitness tests) is phenomenal. It hopefully inspires others who are not currently their best self that you can always come back. 2) I’ve spent $ millions developing this Blueprint protocol, becoming the most measured person in history, and share everything with everyone for free. 3) I started Blueprint as an explorer to pursue the future of being human; not to build a mass market product. When Blueprint gained global notoriety, the most common reaction (aside from hate and vitriol) was “what is the 80/20?!” and “how can I do it with minimal thought and effort?!” In response to that, I’ve been working very hard to make an affordable 80/20 version so others can join the journey and be explorers with me. Then when I do the hate returns “he’s doing it for money only! That *^’*!” 4. Blueprint may seem something about health, it is really about that after 13.8 billion years of our galaxy existing, our planet’s 4.5 billion years, we are baby steps away from creating superintelligence, potentially the most extraordinary event in the history of the galaxy. Blueprint and the underpinning philosophy of Zeroism invites us to sober up and realize the specialness of this moment and step up and be equal to the opportunity of this moment.
@@handigge7019 Honestly, who care if he does make products? The people asked for it. If they are good and priced reasonably with no changes to his current documentation and output, then what's the harm?
I want to know what difference testosterone has on your physique. Before you started, what was your lean body mass? It seems like everyone these days is on testosterone or peptides or something. I'm still 100% natural.
I don’t get why this guy gets any hate at all. He’s literally living his life as an experiment so that we and our children can live a longer healthier life. Pretty admirable imo
Because he’s building a following for his upcoming business. It’s called bias. A lot of the supplements he’s taking also have essentially no backing behind them. Vegan diets are also very lacking, and supplementing vitamins is not a suitable replacement.
@@JonCampo91it’s questionable for sure and he does supliment test due to a lacking diet. I’m sure there’s a reason but it would make more sense to just eat more. Once again he’s doing the experiment and I haven’t done any research in this
@@JonCampo91 How are vegan diets lacking? There are athletes who are at the top of their field who are on vegan diets. Look into Sophia Ellis (european record holder) and Patrik Baboumian.
Honestly, it’s this guy’s humility that gets me. He really is letting us into his process and letting us know that his way is only *a* way that we all can learn from. Can’t wait to learn more from his process!
I am not hating, I am just offering my observation. Hate is such a strong word and feeling. Brian is just so self possessed. Imagine spending your whole day trying to prevent the inevitable. He could be using his money for more noble purposes. It's just so sad that he spends so much for this narcissistic, Don Quixote goal but yet he is looking like a buffed 63 year old. Chuando Tan looks younger than him, but Chuando does not spend even a fraction of the time trying to look young like this man is.
@@simonfraser1491 Very little is known about Chuando Tan. He has spoken very little about his regimen, it is rumored he uses drugs, filler/botox and plastic surgery, and most certainly uses lighting and camera techniques to make himself look younger. He also air brushes his photos. I would not compare some low profile guy who we know very little about to someone who is documenting their entire life.
I quit drinking alcohol because of your videos, and I have now been able to motivate myself to get things done around the house and start exercising which Ive always hated. Thank you!
I respect how you continue to live to a standard most people don’t understand. You approach it with love and humility. And you don’t give a f*** about the haters! Thank you for opening my eyes to the next level of loving self care Bryan

Why did you post a beige square ? Lol p.s. You are inspirational thank you .@@BryanJohnson

Hate is everywhere... Specially when you do something as innovative as Blueprint. As a medical student who wants to become a geriatrician, I admire your efforts and REALLY hope an 80/20 version comes out; very few people would have the mental energy to become an athlete like you're doing. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Thank you!
I’ve made some joking comments about you in the past Bryan and after watching many podcasts where you’ve been a guest and also on your own channel I’ve got to say I’m ashamed to admit it and sorry for being judgemental. You actually seem like a really decent, intelligent and kind man who’s really trying to help humanity. I think you’re providing the rest of us a real valuable service and giving all this great info out for free. It’s a real shame you get so much crap but it seems like you take it all in your stride. Keep it up 💪
I'm so happy that you are good bringing posture into the forefront! It's SO IMPORTANT and vastly overlooked. Bless you, Bryan, we're all rooting for you to crack the codes!
For good posture I have been doing relatively intensive yoga every day for 20 minutes. It does the job. :-) You lift your own bodyweight, all your muscles are working, you build great muscles (core as well- important for good posture), and stretch at the same.
I have a 17 year old daughter (turn 18 in October and i turn 40 in August), I have chronic illness and my health isnt where i would like it to be. So when I grow younger I am going to give my daughter peace of mind when they go off to college and inspire and keep up with them and my two younger children (ages 14 and 11). Prioritizing sleep and firing my night time self is where i have started. Thank you so much for your service to humanity you/the blueprint is giving me clear direction i really need. 💞🙏
I appreciate him being humble enough to say "im not an expert" in places where he really isn't. He is definitely an expert in many other things - and him giving his research openly and freely is awesome.
I went from disliking this guy to absolutely loving him. Thank you, Bryan, for all that you do. I’d love to see a video about how you maintain proper posture throughout the day, and what proper posture even looks like. Cheers to you and the Blueprint team.
@@fernandoangelessoto9301😂🤣🙄….Mate , this is pure self absorbed narcissism & Cultism 101 personified . Snake-oilers always begin by slowly marinating, seasoning , gently basting their gullible flock before selling them ‘holy grail ‘ products. This is the indoctrination /brainwashing phase ….. won’t be long before he markets pills, programs etc . FFS ….. they 100%count on the age old adage “ there’s a sucker born every minute “ . Narcissism, Greed, Power, Control knows no bounds .
I love this guy and what he’s doing. If I had the resources he has, I’d also be working to optimize my life and health and physique. The fact that he’s so transparent about all this is awesome. I wish I could spend a day with him and get police his brain and see what lessons I could bring into my daily life.
Yeah but the whole point of extending your life span and quality is so you have more time to do things. He’s spending more time trying to be healthy than any gains he’s making. He’s in the zone of law of diminishing returns
I like that you admit that everything you do is subject to change and nothing will ever be perfect. I'm 36-years-old now and my training has changed a lot from when I was in my 20's and early 30's. Now I am more focused on injury prevention, so I no longer train super heavy and I don't do any exercises that I see as too risky to be worth it (deadlifts, squats, etc...). I have sciatica and bad knees now due to foolishly training extremely heavy when I was younger. And when I grow younger I want to do more outdoors activities. I am getting sick of the gym and indoor workouts. I'm sure you enjoy your outdoor activity with your son more too. Exercise should be fun not monotonous.
You really motivated me to get a stable sleep routine even though I am going through a stressful time with finishing my master thesis. Thank you for that. I am bit more sane now 😇
Same here. By just turning light off to a minimum after sunset and using blue light filter my sleep quality got a massive boost. Wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t try it myself. Thanks Bryan
Bryan, I am amazed by how humble you are and your constant reminder that your protocol is optimized for you and that it is constantly changing and improving and is not a magic pill for all!
This man got me out of a an “almost” burn-out. I want to be a good example for myself and to my two little boys. After my divorce and being a fulltime Mother that had to keep het shit together for the sake of those angels, it started to get hard.. very hard.. especially when You want to parent consciously. I have implementeren everything and my life has remained healthy if not better. Thank You ❤
You’re an inspiration not only in the health / longevity but also in terms of serving society and live a meaningful life. I admire it and hope to contribute as much as you some day. Lots of love, keep up the good work!
Thank you bryan for inspiring me. I am from Bangladesh, the other side of the world. I was having severe lower back pain issues and obesity and i discovered you over youtube. You have encouraged me to eat healthy and workout more. In last couple of month. I have lost around 5 KG weight and for the first time in last 16 years, my low back pain in a managable condition. Heartfelt thanks for becoming a trailblazer!!!
amazing timing, i was looking for your work out in blue print super recently, thank you! Im 24 and with depression, i wanna take care of myself , as if i was someone to be cared for.
How can you be depressed at 24. You’re beautiful, healthy and have your whole life ahead of you. If it’s not heading in the direction you want, change it.
I love that all of these exercises are achievable for most people. It's not an insane program that might hurt beginners. Bravo for putting this together 👏
Your consistency & dedication to this experiment is impressive, thank you for keeping the information & the progress openly available for everyone, it’s what makes the whole journey really respectable 🙌🏻🔥 Wishing you the best of luck with the experiment moving forward
Hey man! Just found out about you a couple of days ago and I must say that regardless of all the criticism, your story is really interesting and inspring. I wish you all the best with your project! The fact that you stick to the project and are willing to not only experiment on your body but to share your routine and health data with others for free is certainly worthy of respect! And you actually seem like a nice, curious and down to earth dude 👍Keep it up! 💪
The work you are doing is truly otherworldly. The discipline, the sacrifices (big and small), and keeping a smiling face while being humble about it, This is herculean. This is not ordinary.
Bryan what a wonderful inspiration you are, and a gift to humanity! There is also humility in your personality that is well received. I am a retired nurse, and working musician who in all probability would not achieve anywhere near your protocol, but in spite of arthritis I do hike, exercise, do yoga, and have been vegetarian for years. I believe with all my heart you are never too “old” to change things. I am 86 years young! 😀. Blessings! 💕
Way to go! You are an inspiration to everyone! Keep going! This is your mission to promote health and healing of body and mind. I’m 30 pounds overweight and will start the protocol.
I love rock climbing! Really a great full body workout combined with exciting moves that no weight gym can provide me. The elbow pain was there for me after going hard but I think that building up the tendon in my elbow, over time, must be allowing me to climb and the pain is no longer coming back. Glad you and your son can enjoy the sport together!
Thank you for sharing this with us Bryan. We are so grateful that you are sharing your experience with us and creating a space where we can all share optimizing practices. There is nothing more important than helping each other be our best. Sending sun and joy from San Diego ✨
I came across your channel, @BryanJohnson, and was amazed at how dedicated you are to helping humanity live healthier, better, and longer lives. I love how humble and genuine you are. You have an amazing personality and a good cause. I wish you a very long life so you can keep enjoying your healthy lifestyle and spreading knowledge, love, and positive influence. THANK YOU!
@@BryanJohnsonit certainly is useful Bryan, thank you. If you could do a breakdown specifically of the ‘shoulder shrug’ postural variation - you mentioned in a previous video where you discussed blueprint in more detail along with your lead doctor/scientist that this a super important exercise but that it takes a while to get the hang of it. Could you do a detailed breakdown of the movement?
Thank you Bryan! Truly appreciate your dedication to advancing our understanding of the human healthspan, and sharing the results w everyone for free. Hope to meet you one day!
I used to be 20 and feel like 80 But I've been working on it and fixing diet and exercising a lot (especially increasing vo2 max) have done miracles. Aging is a choice and you don't have to wait much to get old. Thanks Bryan, keep going ;)
Bryan that’s awesome. I dropped 50 pounds, 30 to go working with an Ayurvedic master from India who travelled for 10+ years with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. My photos from starting in August 2019 to now look like a new woman. I reversed my biological aging - it can be done. Yes, we are gonna die one day, but we can delay aging and death and walk through it powerfully. Thank you for sharing. The haters are jealous, and their comments are just a reflection of their own state of consciousness. Keep going and inspiring and i hope you’ve developed a great meditation practice to further calm the CNS! Some people are glad for me, but others are seething with jealousy. That’s on them!!! Thank you for inspiring. Our nation is literally toxic and sick! GOOD ON YOU. I’m literally working right now on sharing my journey, and my 20 mile solo night hikes, to inspire people to exercise. I can wear sexy clothes again - for ME!!!! Starting an Ayurvedic-based company to care for the body. 21:02 One product is for high performance athletes and executives! Developed it fit my 20 mile treks! Fun to share victories and 411 with others! You Go!!! 🎉
What I like best is that you went climbing yesterday and felt no need to insert a clip. Instead, showing your protocol. Task focus is sexy. RUclips these days seems to get distracted if a fly buzzes and is all about placing or promoting something or the other or just logging every breath taken for content creation sake. You have a life beyond the videos. That's nice.
@@Blaze-cp8vf Negativity surely doesnt! :-) Endorphin is quite a useful hormone in lowering stess reactions which has influence on blood glucose management, and laughter usually happens within social environment which is alo beneficial for mental health. Mental health is just as important as physical health as any stress, trauma might get stored in our bodies causing chronic disease. Does this answer your question? :-)
Thank you so much Bryan for making this video! I've been doing similar training for few weeks already thanks to your description on blueprint website, but this video was super helpful, and now I'll will do it even better. You are doing amazing job for all of us! I personally got greatly inspired by you, even though I've been focused on longevity for five years already (I'm 34 now), and I updated my routines a lot after seeing your content and your protocol. I share your insight with my polish audience, so your message is reaching even further than just English speaking countries :) great job! Keep going! Don't bother with some nasty comments. The broader audience you reach the more haters will come, but also the more people you will inspire to healthy lifestyle :)
I have just come across your channel & I am astounded. I'm not sure exactly what it's all about but I will check out more of your videos. As an 81 year old physical culture exponent I seem to be able to do what you are aspiring to, all my physical markers indicate I am at a physically younger age. I am able to perform most things physically as well as when I was 40. This is not 18 but I am very happy to be able to maintain what I have. I will study your explanations but I think we differ somewhat in our anti-ageing format. I take no drugs or supplements, I work on a routine of purposeful physical exercise for one hour a week, approximately 8-10 mins a day.
Bryan, Great . Well synchronised exercises for overall development. In fact half of this excercises, I do it everyday morning for 6 days and am really enjoying the benefit at the age of 63yrs.
Good video. I have a story to share. I was in my 30s when i started to feel like an old man. But then i figured it were basically 2 things that made me really weak and tired: 1st) I didn't sleep enough. There were nights where i slept only 3h went to bed at 3am, got up at 6:30 and such things, average nights 5.5h and maybe 6.5 hours tops! Once i started to force myself to sleep more, like 8 hours generally, i started to feel incredibly much better. And 2nd) I got rid of energy drinks, coke and everything with lots of caffeine in it. Those two points together already made me feel better. Then i also started to work out again which i had abandoned for many years and now i am almost 40 but I feel like in my early 20s again, not gonna lie. That feeling when you feel weightless and want to skip 2-4 steps on a staircase and this overall feeling that you have to move around, you know what i'm talking about. On a side note, more sleep and less caffeine also affected my brain function, i complained less i were less agressive and testy and became more productive. Not gonna lie, i'd say test it for yourselves go 2 weeks without caffeine at all + sleep more. Doesn't cost any money or time! BUT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Let's face it ! Part of the truth is also that this will just make a major difference for you if you are not overweight or a heavy smoker or something! THEN you will first have to work on these of course since that kills 90% of your energy.
The hamstring & back stretch in the morning with a heavy dumbell is also my favorite morning routine. It takes less than 1minute and it's so day-changing.
When I grow younger (I’m a 72 year old woman), I’m going to help inspire my friends that they can do the same. I think they think I’m nuts, but they are starting to ask my advise on health problems they’re having. Love you, Bryan. -Hallie from NY.
Whenever I tell people about Bryan and the Blueprint, they start hating or making fun of him which I always find surprising. Especially when I see videos like that, he's always so pleasant and down to earth and humble, no matter what he has or does, on top of providing us with all the info he comes across. Sometimes I avoid watching his videos because he makes me feel bad about some of my bad habits, but that's just my issues that I need to deal with. But as some other comments say, I really don't get the hate and I hate having to defend the obvious all the time.
But his skin is so white it's obvious he´s not getting enough sunlight exposure, and that is a major flaw in seeking longevity, it´s well documented that a low sunlight exposure contributes to depression and suicide
Kudos for taking on this journey of anti-aging and being really scentific about it! Best of all, you decided to share it with the world ❤ I'm learning from this and I hope more people will be inspired to go on this journey with you 😊
I’ve been a fitness instructor in the Marines for years now, I learned a great deal from Bryan recently and I love what he’s doing. He has such a great attitude and message and I feel like anyone can learn a lot from listening to what he does even if you don’t plan on doing it.
Thanks for all your work. I started to do daily stretches years ago and do it every night. It does so much for your mind and body. So easy to incorporate. I do them while I watch Netflix. 😊
Hi Bryan, I really appreciate what you’re doing. Not everyone can reproduce your routines for different reasons, but I strongly believe that everyone can pick up something and it will be already an improvement. Thank you!
i am no doctor but i know tendon strength stays with us long after muscles have begun degrading as i am watching your workout, specifically with the use of the bands, i notice that you aren’t maximizing the load of the movement when the muscle is in its most stretched position. numerous case studies about generating max force when the muscle is in a stretched state will promote most muscle growth. muscle growth may not be exactly what your after but i believe this is also a good way to train tendon. i really like the exercise you did for shoulder rotation with your elbow on your knee though, that’s a great example of the workout style i am talking about. i think it’s interesting what you’re doing, and remarkable the change that you’ve gone through over the past few years. thanks for inspiring! and for all the documentation!
Good for you, Bryan, to not only try to optimize your health at your age but also to explore what might help you live longer and give you joy. I am 62 and can do all your exercises well. For me, I give myself a day, sometimes mid week break, making it 2. The metabolism that heals the body has declined with age. And yes, safety from injury is smart. We haven't stopped the aging process, only slowed it down. Thank you for sharing.
Bro, you're my hero!!! Not only did you figure out a way to fix a postural issue concerning a compressed blood vessal, you're teaching people how to do it too. That right there alone is saving lives already. And on top of that, you're making all these knowledge and wisdom free how it should be. Thank you so much!!! ❤ I just hope one day, we can get to a point where everyone can easily take on the medical measurement experiments you're taking on without spending so much money. Much love ❤ Pray for your success. In 20 - 30 years time, I'm expecting great things from this. Hopefully alot sooner. With increasing technology and knowledge.. I'm hoping.. Living pass 100 should be doable for everyone in the next few decades or at the very least be able to extend their longevity pass 80 easily.
Bryan Johnson... good for him. Cutting edge. Cutting tech. Everyone has the right to Live their Life. There's so much that we can learn from what he is doing. Jealous in a good way. Keep it up !! 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌
i must admit i had the wrong impression of you when i first heard about this project. i really was wrong and i know you won't see this but you're one of My Gurus now and i truly think you're awesome for sharing everything and just being true to yourself and to us. ❤❤
What you are doing is not easy. It is something that will help humanity. Why anyone would hate you is quite unbelievable . You are offering yourself as an experiment. I very much admire what you are doing.
Watched this thinking it was going to be intimidating but actually I think most of this is very achievable. Off to set up a circuit in my ratchet home gym using what I have! Thank you so much! (Female, 37.)
What I liked the most, was the fact that he accepted in the intro of the video that there are others who are doing more and probably know more than him. That was amazing that he accepts others might still be better than him and not stating himself as the ultimate person who knows everything.
Thank you so so so much Bryan for posting these videos I have been following blueprint for months but have struggled following the workout from the website these videos are exactly what I needed to play along in the blueprint game !!! Thank you so much for all the work and documentation of your protocol for all of us and for FREE !!!! Your truly giving back to humanity !!! Thank you !!!!
Really appreciate the video! I was trying to do the workout a few weeks ago and it took me 2h because I had to look up several exercises. I would love to see a similar video about how you prepare all your food 👍🏻
I love this! Goes to show that the only way to really slow down aging is when you have the time and effort to do anything you can and want to achieve that goal. With a 9-5 sitting all day on a desk like me, I would be really happy if I could stretch my hamstrings and quads like you do. I do not want to slow down my aging, but I want to feel great when I get older. Most old men think their backs are done for but it's actually the lower core / back / thighs area that's messed up. The back - starting from the traps all the way down to the upper end of the glute medius - overall gets much more stretches doing normal things (sitting/lying down, standing up, walking, cooking, taking a dump, ...). So stretching below that area, just like you do, is a set goal for me now, especially because the hamstring stretch you do also stretches the lower back quite well, too, I assume, at least it looks like it. Thank you for posting these! You're using your money in a very much calculated and respectible way.
You're an incredible inspiration Bryan, I'm very thankful for what you're sharing freely with the world. You've inspired me to get my workout for the day completed today and that's no small achievement haha, thank you!
Thank you, Bryan, for creating these videos! As a fellow Booth alum and 2015 NVC alum and finalist, I've always respected you, and my admiration has grown even more since you started Blueprint. At 36 this year, I finally decided to stop playing the short game and have adopted the motto "daily habits, remarkable results" for a long-term approach to success and well-being. When I grow younger, I look forward to running up mountains and cycling around the world with my son (he's 5 now, so I have a few years to get ready). Much like you, it's clear this journey will be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
When I grew younger, I would start learning instruments earlier. Music and sport are the most beautiful skills for a human being. I am learning piano now. Thanks for sharing with us. You have inspired and guided me in a significant way, Bryan.
Literally the exact video i was wanting. You are a very inspiring individual and have helped motivate me to try to work to feel better after having very similar postural issues and other annoying health issues (long term bruxism being another). I was really wanting to see the full workout so thank you so much and please dont stop sharing everything you do and your thoughts on everything. For example, id be curious to hear if tou rested any different brands for things like water picks and nightgaurds (most dentists seem to recommend just thr single layer guard on top but you use the full guard and i wonder why etc etc). Anyways, thanks again for sharing and motivating the rest of us! Its also really motivating to see how much progress you make with what actually seems like a pretty low amount of exercise time spent per day, btw!
Thank you so much for sharing all of this! 💜 This is quickly becoming my favorite RUclips channel. I love everything that you’re doing. Thanks for the constant inspiration and motivation!
I really admire your approach and humility. People think that the best in the world are superhuman or were born that way but really all it takes is will and consistency and you have both.
At first I thought this was a little stupid with all the pills and what-not, but this is amazing. I'm never going to be doing all of this stuff, but the approach and the way it's all presented is amazing. Never does Bryan claim to know what's best for others. He is simply experimenting and doing what he thinks is best for himself right now and constantly building on that, changing it. It is simply an extremely well-presented experiment
Great video so far and awesome intro, Bryan! It's great to see you branch into different subjects about Longevity and slightly new things, so that the audience doesn't get bored. 🏝🍀
Hi Everyone, as you watch this, it’s worth remembering a few things:
1) My body and mind were trashed in every way for 23 years. Chronic depression, obesity, terrible sleep, raising 3 kids, startup founder/CEO grind culture behavior. My turn around in 2 years time to near perfect whole body health markers (as measured by biofluids, devices, imaging and fitness tests) is phenomenal. It hopefully inspires others who are not currently their best self that you can always come back.
2) I’ve spent $ millions developing this Blueprint protocol, becoming the most measured person in history, and share everything with everyone for free.
3) I started Blueprint as an explorer to pursue the future of being human; not to build a mass market product. When Blueprint gained global notoriety, the most common reaction (aside from hate and vitriol) was “what is the 80/20?!” and “how can I do it with minimal thought and effort?!” In response to that, I’ve been working very hard to make an affordable 80/20 version so others can join the journey and be explorers with me. Then when I do the hate returns “he’s doing it for money only! That *^’*!”
4. Blueprint may seem something about health, it is really about that after 13.8 billion years of our galaxy existing, our planet’s 4.5 billion years, we are baby steps away from creating superintelligence, potentially the most extraordinary event in the history of the galaxy. Blueprint and the underpinning philosophy of Zeroism invites us to sober up and realize the specialness of this moment and step up and be equal to the opportunity of this moment.
#4 is powerful. Keep up the great work. We appreciate your efforts.
If you really want to make a difference, don’t start selling stuff, if you start selling stuff you will be just like the others.
@@handigge7019 Honestly, who care if he does make products? The people asked for it. If they are good and priced reasonably with no changes to his current documentation and output, then what's the harm?
I want to know what difference testosterone has on your physique. Before you started, what was your lean body mass? It seems like everyone these days is on testosterone or peptides or something. I'm still 100% natural.
Thanks for sharing your journey, I truly appreciate your efforts and guidance. 🙏
I don’t get why this guy gets any hate at all. He’s literally living his life as an experiment so that we and our children can live a longer healthier life. Pretty admirable imo
We'll, he might be a grifter trying to make money out of olive oil, powders and pills.
Maybe not.
because he's a pretentious idiot...
Because he’s building a following for his upcoming business. It’s called bias. A lot of the supplements he’s taking also have essentially no backing behind them. Vegan diets are also very lacking, and supplementing vitamins is not a suitable replacement.
@@JonCampo91it’s questionable for sure and he does supliment test due to a lacking diet. I’m sure there’s a reason but it would make more sense to just eat more. Once again he’s doing the experiment and I haven’t done any research in this
@@JonCampo91 How are vegan diets lacking? There are athletes who are at the top of their field who are on vegan diets. Look into Sophia Ellis (european record holder) and Patrik Baboumian.
Honestly, it’s this guy’s humility that gets me. He really is letting us into his process and letting us know that his way is only *a* way that we all can learn from.
Can’t wait to learn more from his process!
😂
He looks like a really old lesbian.
@@Seb7andas ist hart.....aber er sieht wirklich älter aus ,als er ist....komisch
He is not humble at all, just appearing so.
Sadly he may be temptee to make that data paid only in future
Just a shoutout to how well these videos are put together. No bullshit, straight to the point presentation, great camerawork and editing.
Well, occasional hulk scene😂
I am not hating, I am just offering my observation. Hate is such a strong word and feeling. Brian is just so self possessed. Imagine spending your whole day trying to prevent the inevitable. He could be using his money for more noble purposes. It's just so sad that he spends so much for this narcissistic, Don Quixote goal but yet he is looking like a buffed 63 year old. Chuando Tan looks younger than him, but Chuando does not spend even a fraction of the time trying to look young like this man is.
@@simonfraser1491 Very little is known about Chuando Tan. He has spoken very little about his regimen, it is rumored he uses drugs, filler/botox and plastic surgery, and most certainly uses lighting and camera techniques to make himself look younger. He also air brushes his photos. I would not compare some low profile guy who we know very little about to someone who is documenting their entire life.
I quit drinking alcohol because of your videos, and I have now been able to motivate myself to get things done around the house and start exercising which Ive always hated. Thank you!
You quit drinking because of another man’s videos? A man you never met, will never meet, and doesn’t care about you?
Proud of you! Keep it going!
But booze is so much fun
Well done!
@@noTH9IK It is until it isn't.
Bryan doesn't do deadlifts because they have "dead" in them.
Keep it up! Thank you for sharing!
😂
I like the humbleness. No bragging, no putting anyone down or telling them that there's only this way etc. Keep it up! 😊
Yes, incredibly humble. He got me at hum 🙂🫀
I respect how you continue to live to a standard most people don’t understand. You approach it with love and humility. And you don’t give a f*** about the haters! Thank you for opening my eyes to the next level of loving self care Bryan

Why did you post a beige square ? Lol p.s. You are inspirational thank you .@@BryanJohnson
Hate is everywhere... Specially when you do something as innovative as Blueprint. As a medical student who wants to become a geriatrician, I admire your efforts and REALLY hope an 80/20 version comes out; very few people would have the mental energy to become an athlete like you're doing. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Thank you!

I’ve made some joking comments about you in the past Bryan and after watching many podcasts where you’ve been a guest and also on your own channel I’ve got to say I’m ashamed to admit it and sorry for being judgemental.
You actually seem like a really decent, intelligent and kind man who’s really trying to help humanity. I think you’re providing the rest of us a real valuable service and giving all this great info out for free. It’s a real shame you get so much crap but it seems like you take it all in your stride. Keep it up 💪
97 pills a day and still look like a zombie, i know he's jerking off to thst McDonald's commercial
Dude look like an extra from the twilight series
I'm so happy that you are good bringing posture into the forefront! It's SO IMPORTANT and vastly overlooked. Bless you, Bryan, we're all rooting for you to crack the codes!
For good posture I have been doing relatively intensive yoga every day for 20 minutes. It does the job. :-) You lift your own bodyweight, all your muscles are working, you build great muscles (core as well- important for good posture), and stretch at the same.
Ps. Agree, it does help a lot, better breathing, better concentraion, it has positive effect even on your self-confidence. :-)
I have a 17 year old daughter (turn 18 in October and i turn 40 in August), I have chronic illness and my health isnt where i would like it to be. So when I grow younger I am going to give my daughter peace of mind when they go off to college and inspire and keep up with them and my two younger children (ages 14 and 11). Prioritizing sleep and firing my night time self is where i have started. Thank you so much for your service to humanity you/the blueprint is giving me clear direction i really need. 💞🙏

You need to follow his diet routine. I'm following his diet and supplements and feel so much better at 70!
@@pinkiepinkster8395 thank you for the encouragement 💞 and inspiration. Amazing job 👏 Love and gratitude 🙏🥰
I appreciate him being humble enough to say "im not an expert" in places where he really isn't. He is definitely an expert in many other things - and him giving his research openly and freely is awesome.
I went from disliking this guy to absolutely loving him. Thank you, Bryan, for all that you do. I’d love to see a video about how you maintain proper posture throughout the day, and what proper posture even looks like. Cheers to you and the Blueprint team.
I thought he was another narcissist trying to be relevant but now I see that what he is doing is amazing and also he is a very cool and humble guy.
@@fernandoangelessoto9301😂🤣🙄….Mate , this is pure self absorbed narcissism & Cultism 101 personified . Snake-oilers always begin by slowly marinating, seasoning , gently basting their gullible flock before selling them ‘holy grail ‘ products.

@@fernandoangelessoto9301I thought the same. Now I’m really into his videos lol
@@fernandoangelessoto9301That makes absolutely no fucking sense.
I love this guy and what he’s doing. If I had the resources he has, I’d also be working to optimize my life and health and physique. The fact that he’s so transparent about all this is awesome. I wish I could spend a day with him and get police his brain and see what lessons I could bring into my daily life.
Yeah but the whole point of extending your life span and quality is so you have more time to do things.
He’s spending more time trying to be healthy than any gains he’s making.
He’s in the zone of law of diminishing returns
I love how you're putting all of this out for us. I've been doing things but not measured. Now I can finally see what works and what doesn't
I like that you admit that everything you do is subject to change and nothing will ever be perfect. I'm 36-years-old now and my training has changed a lot from when I was in my 20's and early 30's. Now I am more focused on injury prevention, so I no longer train super heavy and I don't do any exercises that I see as too risky to be worth it (deadlifts, squats, etc...). I have sciatica and bad knees now due to foolishly training extremely heavy when I was younger. And when I grow younger I want to do more outdoors activities. I am getting sick of the gym and indoor workouts. I'm sure you enjoy your outdoor activity with your son more too. Exercise should be fun not monotonous.
You really motivated me to get a stable sleep routine even though I am going through a stressful time with finishing my master thesis. Thank you for that. I am bit more sane now 😇
Remarkable what the basics do
What’s sleep? Can I spend it?
@@LilXancheX😂😂
Same here. By just turning light off to a minimum after sunset and using blue light filter my sleep quality got a massive boost. Wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t try it myself. Thanks Bryan
You got a lot more ahead of you boy but good start
this is really admirable. how content rich these videos are and no repetitive information also salute to you for your discipline
Bryan, I am amazed by how humble you are and your constant reminder that your protocol is optimized for you and that it is constantly changing and improving and is not a magic pill for all!
This man got me out of a an “almost” burn-out. I want to be a good example for myself and to my two little boys. After my divorce and being a fulltime Mother that had to keep het shit together for the sake of those angels, it started to get hard.. very hard.. especially when You want to parent consciously. I have implementeren everything and my life has remained healthy if not better. Thank You ❤
wishing you the best ❤
Watching this as I work out too. Started incorporating stretches (yoga) into my routine too, and I feel better for it :) keep up the amazing work
@sensun do you happen to be Dutch? Asking because of "implementeren"
You’re an inspiration not only in the health / longevity but also in terms of serving society and live a meaningful life. I admire it and hope to contribute as much as you some day. Lots of love, keep up the good work!
Thank you bryan for inspiring me. I am from Bangladesh, the other side of the world. I was having severe lower back pain issues and obesity and i discovered you over youtube. You have encouraged me to eat healthy and workout more. In last couple of month. I have lost around 5 KG weight and for the first time in last 16 years, my low back pain in a managable condition.
Heartfelt thanks for becoming a trailblazer!!!
amazing timing, i was looking for your work out in blue print super recently, thank you!
Im 24 and with depression, i wanna take care of myself , as if i was someone to be cared for.

A sense of direction and purpose like this will definitely help!!

The fact that you stick to the project and are willing to not only experiment on your body but to share your routine and health data with others for free is certainly worthy of respect! And you actually seem like a nice, curious and down to earth dude 👍Keep it up! 💪
🙏🏻
The work you are doing is truly otherworldly.
The discipline, the sacrifices (big and small), and keeping a smiling face while being humble about it,
This is herculean.
This is not ordinary.
Bryan what a wonderful inspiration you are, and a gift to humanity! There is also humility in your personality that is well received. I am a retired nurse, and working musician who in all probability would not achieve anywhere near your protocol, but in spite of arthritis I do hike, exercise, do yoga, and have been vegetarian for years. I believe with all my heart you are never too “old” to change things. I am 86 years young! 😀. Blessings! 💕
Your activity at your age is inspiring too!
Thank you for everything you are doing and being such an inspiration for health and science to so many people.
Way to go! You are an inspiration to everyone! Keep going! This is your mission to promote health and healing of body and mind. I’m 30 pounds overweight and will start the protocol.
Hi Bryan, your idea of anti aging exercise is so UNIQUE, so out of this world! It's eyes opening. Thank you for sharing for free, 💖.
I like how this person thinks ... very systematic, intelligent, ambitious, and enjoys educating others
I love rock climbing! Really a great full body workout combined with exciting moves that no weight gym can provide me. The elbow pain was there for me after going hard but I think that building up the tendon in my elbow, over time, must be allowing me to climb and the pain is no longer coming back. Glad you and your son can enjoy the sport together!
Thanks for the anti-aging study, Bryan, you are the gunnie pig that will help us all live longer!
Thank you for sharing this with us Bryan. We are so grateful that you are sharing your experience with us and creating a space where we can all share optimizing practices.
There is nothing more important than helping each other be our best.
Sending sun and joy from San Diego ✨

I came across your channel, @BryanJohnson, and was amazed at how dedicated you are to helping humanity live healthier, better, and longer lives. I love how humble and genuine you are. You have an amazing personality and a good cause. I wish you a very long life so you can keep enjoying your healthy lifestyle and spreading knowledge, love, and positive influence. THANK YOU!
Looking forward to this. Thank you, Bryan. I saw the list on the website, but having a walk-through as well is just awesome.
Very glad to hear, was hoping it would be useful
@@BryanJohnsonit certainly is useful Bryan, thank you. If you could do a breakdown specifically of the ‘shoulder shrug’ postural variation - you mentioned in a previous video where you discussed blueprint in more detail along with your lead doctor/scientist that this a super important exercise but that it takes a while to get the hang of it. Could you do a detailed breakdown of the movement?
Thank you Bryan! Truly appreciate your dedication to advancing our understanding of the human healthspan, and sharing the results w everyone for free. Hope to meet you one day!
I just love watching this guy, although I may never meet him in person. I just wish him well.
So much to the point exercises without rambling. Love it.
Yes. To the point. 💚👍
I used to be 20 and feel like 80
But I've been working on it and fixing diet and exercising a lot (especially increasing vo2 max) have done miracles. Aging is a choice and you don't have to wait much to get old. Thanks Bryan, keep going ;)
Bryan that’s awesome. I dropped 50 pounds, 30 to go working with an Ayurvedic master from India who travelled for 10+ years with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. My photos from starting in August 2019 to now look like a new woman. I reversed my biological aging - it can be done. Yes, we are gonna die one day, but we can delay aging and death and walk through it powerfully. Thank you for sharing. The haters are jealous, and their comments are just a reflection of their own state of consciousness. Keep going and inspiring and i hope you’ve developed a great meditation practice to further calm the CNS! Some people are glad for me, but others are seething with jealousy. That’s on them!!! Thank you for inspiring. Our nation is literally toxic and sick! GOOD ON YOU. I’m literally working right now on sharing my journey, and my 20 mile solo night hikes, to inspire people to exercise. I can wear sexy clothes again - for ME!!!! Starting an Ayurvedic-based company to care for the body. 21:02 One product is for high performance athletes and executives! Developed it fit my 20 mile treks! Fun to share victories and 411 with others! You Go!!! 🎉
Slant squats make my knees hurt just watching. This guy is inspiring.
Thanks for sharing every aspect of reversing age in an open forum. Love from India
What I like best is that you went climbing yesterday and felt no need to insert a clip. Instead, showing your protocol. Task focus is sexy. RUclips these days seems to get distracted if a fly buzzes and is all about placing or promoting something or the other or just logging every breath taken for content creation sake. You have a life beyond the videos. That's nice.
Appreciate all your videos! I’ve been into anti-aging for a few years now, and you are doing it right Bryan! Thanks for doing this for us.
Props to your editor! Laughing makes us live longer, so keep including those random scenes here and there. :)
they really are fantastic
What a good point about laughing making us live longer! :-) Thank you! :-)
does it acttuatly?
@@Blaze-cp8vf Negativity surely doesnt! :-) Endorphin is quite a useful hormone in lowering stess reactions which has influence on blood glucose management, and laughter usually happens within social environment which is alo beneficial for mental health. Mental health is just as important as physical health as any stress, trauma might get stored in our bodies causing chronic disease. Does this answer your question? :-)
Thank you for sharing your routines, insights and experiences Bryan - whatever you do, stay authentic ❤
Thank you so much Bryan for making this video! I've been doing similar training for few weeks already thanks to your description on blueprint website, but this video was super helpful, and now I'll will do it even better. You are doing amazing job for all of us! I personally got greatly inspired by you, even though I've been focused on longevity for five years already (I'm 34 now), and I updated my routines a lot after seeing your content and your protocol. I share your insight with my polish audience, so your message is reaching even further than just English speaking countries :) great job! Keep going! Don't bother with some nasty comments. The broader audience you reach the more haters will come, but also the more people you will inspire to healthy lifestyle :)
I have just come across your channel & I am astounded. I'm not sure exactly what it's all about but I will check out more of your videos. As an 81 year old physical culture exponent I seem to be able to do what you are aspiring to, all my physical markers indicate I am at a physically younger age. I am able to perform most things physically as well as when I was 40. This is not 18 but I am very happy to be able to maintain what I have. I will study your explanations but I think we differ somewhat in our anti-ageing format. I take no drugs or supplements, I work on a routine of purposeful physical exercise for one hour a week, approximately 8-10 mins a day.
Bryan, Great . Well synchronised exercises for overall development. In fact half of this excercises, I do it everyday morning for 6 days and am really enjoying the benefit at the age of 63yrs.
Good video. I have a story to share. I was in my 30s when i started to feel like an old man. But then i figured it were basically 2 things that made me really weak and tired: 1st) I didn't sleep enough. There were nights where i slept only 3h went to bed at 3am, got up at 6:30 and such things, average nights 5.5h and maybe 6.5 hours tops! Once i started to force myself to sleep more, like 8 hours generally, i started to feel incredibly much better. And 2nd) I got rid of energy drinks, coke and everything with lots of caffeine in it. Those two points together already made me feel better. Then i also started to work out again which i had abandoned for many years and now i am almost 40 but I feel like in my early 20s again, not gonna lie. That feeling when you feel weightless and want to skip 2-4 steps on a staircase and this overall feeling that you have to move around, you know what i'm talking about. On a side note, more sleep and less caffeine also affected my brain function, i complained less i were less agressive and testy and became more productive. Not gonna lie, i'd say test it for yourselves go 2 weeks without caffeine at all + sleep more. Doesn't cost any money or time! BUT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Let's face it ! Part of the truth is also that this will just make a major difference for you if you are not overweight or a heavy smoker or something! THEN you will first have to work on these of course since that kills 90% of your energy.
Good advice.
The hamstring & back stretch in the morning with a heavy dumbell is also my favorite morning routine. It takes less than 1minute and it's so day-changing.
I LOVE your “public research” about health, on yourself, for us too. Thank you for your efforts.
When I grow younger (I’m a 72 year old woman), I’m going to help inspire my friends that they can do the same. I think they think I’m nuts, but they are starting to ask my advise on health problems they’re having. Love you, Bryan. -Hallie from NY.

Please be careful. Bryan is great, but also just promoting his upcoming business.
Think for yourself :)
@@Moodboardxyzexactly, not sure why nobody's thinking about this
Whenever I tell people about Bryan and the Blueprint, they start hating or making fun of him which I always find surprising. Especially when I see videos like that, he's always so pleasant and down to earth and humble, no matter what he has or does, on top of providing us with all the info he comes across. Sometimes I avoid watching his videos because he makes me feel bad about some of my bad habits, but that's just my issues that I need to deal with. But as some other comments say, I really don't get the hate and I hate having to defend the obvious all the time.
Feel better to do the things I like to do: hike, camp, adventure, play with my dogs..excellent video Bryan.. You rock!
I love it. You’re doing something special in a way that all should be thankful and open to. This unquestionably is inspiring!! ❤
But his skin is so white it's obvious he´s not getting enough sunlight exposure, and that is a major flaw in seeking longevity, it´s well documented that a low sunlight exposure contributes to depression and suicide
Kudos for taking on this journey of anti-aging and being really scentific about it! Best of all, you decided to share it with the world ❤ I'm learning from this and I hope more people will be inspired to go on this journey with you 😊
I’ve been a fitness instructor in the Marines for years now, I learned a great deal from Bryan recently and I love what he’s doing. He has such a great attitude and message and I feel like anyone can learn a lot from listening to what he does even if you don’t plan on doing it.
What are your thoughts on sit ups ? Are they good or bad ? Used to be a staple in marines
Thanks for all your work. I started to do daily stretches years ago and do it every night. It does so much for your mind and body. So easy to incorporate. I do them while I watch Netflix. 😊
Hi Bryan, I really appreciate what you’re doing. Not everyone can reproduce your routines for different reasons, but I strongly believe that everyone can pick up something and it will be already an improvement. Thank you!
i am no doctor but i know tendon strength stays with us long after muscles have begun degrading
as i am watching your workout, specifically with the use of the bands, i notice that you aren’t maximizing the load of the movement when the muscle is in its most stretched position. numerous case studies about generating max force when the muscle is in a stretched state will promote most muscle growth. muscle growth may not be exactly what your after but i believe this is also a good way to train tendon. i really like the exercise you did for shoulder rotation with your elbow on your knee though, that’s a great example of the workout style i am talking about.
i think it’s interesting what you’re doing, and remarkable the change that you’ve gone through over the past few years. thanks for inspiring! and for all the documentation!

Good for you, Bryan, to not only try to optimize your health at your age but also to explore what might help you live longer and give you joy. I am 62 and can do all your exercises well. For me, I give myself a day, sometimes mid week break, making it 2. The metabolism that heals the body has declined with age. And yes, safety from injury is smart. We haven't stopped the aging process, only slowed it down. Thank you for sharing.
what an absolute beast. super inspiring!

Bro, you're my hero!!!
Not only did you figure out a way to fix a postural issue concerning a compressed blood vessal, you're teaching people how to do it too.
That right there alone is saving lives already. And on top of that, you're making all these knowledge and wisdom free how it should be. Thank you so much!!! ❤
I just hope one day, we can get to a point where everyone can easily take on the medical measurement experiments you're taking on without spending so much money.
Much love ❤
Pray for your success.
In 20 - 30 years time, I'm expecting great things from this. Hopefully alot sooner.
With increasing technology and knowledge..
I'm hoping..
Living pass 100 should be doable for everyone in the next few decades or at the very least be able to extend their longevity pass 80 easily.

Bryan Johnson... good for him. Cutting edge. Cutting tech. Everyone has the right to Live their Life. There's so much that we can learn from what he is doing. Jealous in a good way. Keep it up !! 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌
This might be the best workout routine I have seen in a while! Thanks for sharing Bryan!

i must admit i had the wrong impression of you when i first heard about this project. i really was wrong and i know you won't see this but you're one of My Gurus now and i truly think you're awesome for sharing everything and just being true to yourself and to us. ❤❤
Great sir👍, you are great inspiration for everyone to do right things in this modern world.
thank you so much for sharing this, I'll repeat this exact workout. You're a legend, Bryan!
What you are doing is not easy. It is something that will help humanity. Why anyone would hate you is quite unbelievable . You are offering yourself as an experiment. I very much admire what you are doing.
Watched this thinking it was going to be intimidating but actually I think most of this is very achievable. Off to set up a circuit in my ratchet home gym using what I have! Thank you so much! (Female, 37.)
Bryan doesn't do deadlifts, he does don'tdie lifts.
What I liked the most, was the fact that he accepted in the intro of the video that there are others who are doing more and probably know more than him. That was amazing that he accepts others might still be better than him and not stating himself as the ultimate person who knows everything.
Thank you so so so much Bryan for posting these videos I have been following blueprint for months but have struggled following the workout from the website these videos are exactly what I needed to play along in the blueprint game !!! Thank you so much for all the work and documentation of your protocol for all of us and for FREE !!!! Your truly giving back to humanity !!! Thank you !!!!
Really appreciate the video! I was trying to do the workout a few weeks ago and it took me 2h because I had to look up several exercises. I would love to see a similar video about how you prepare all your food 👍🏻
I love this! Goes to show that the only way to really slow down aging is when you have the time and effort to do anything you can and want to achieve that goal. With a 9-5 sitting all day on a desk like me, I would be really happy if I could stretch my hamstrings and quads like you do. I do not want to slow down my aging, but I want to feel great when I get older. Most old men think their backs are done for but it's actually the lower core / back / thighs area that's messed up. The back - starting from the traps all the way down to the upper end of the glute medius - overall gets much more stretches doing normal things (sitting/lying down, standing up, walking, cooking, taking a dump, ...). So stretching below that area, just like you do, is a set goal for me now, especially because the hamstring stretch you do also stretches the lower back quite well, too, I assume, at least it looks like it.
Thank you for posting these! You're using your money in a very much calculated and respectible way.
You're an incredible inspiration Bryan, I'm very thankful for what you're sharing freely with the world. You've inspired me to get my workout for the day completed today and that's no small achievement haha, thank you!
I can do this! I love how simple and realistic this is! ❤
You are so humble, thanks for these videos. I wish you all the good health in the world!
Thank you, Bryan, for creating these videos! As a fellow Booth alum and 2015 NVC alum and finalist, I've always respected you, and my admiration has grown even more since you started Blueprint. At 36 this year, I finally decided to stop playing the short game and have adopted the motto "daily habits, remarkable results" for a long-term approach to success and well-being.
When I grow younger, I look forward to running up mountains and cycling around the world with my son (he's 5 now, so I have a few years to get ready). Much like you, it's clear this journey will be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
🙌🏻
Bryan IS living his best life...❤

When I grew younger, I would start learning instruments earlier. Music and sport are the most beautiful skills for a human being. I am learning piano now. Thanks for sharing with us. You have inspired and guided me in a significant way, Bryan.
Keep the great content coming! 🔥🔥 I loved the "Build Your Autonomous Self" series

Literally the exact video i was wanting. You are a very inspiring individual and have helped motivate me to try to work to feel better after having very similar postural issues and other annoying health issues (long term bruxism being another). I was really wanting to see the full workout so thank you so much and please dont stop sharing everything you do and your thoughts on everything. For example, id be curious to hear if tou rested any different brands for things like water picks and nightgaurds (most dentists seem to recommend just thr single layer guard on top but you use the full guard and i wonder why etc etc). Anyways, thanks again for sharing and motivating the rest of us! Its also really motivating to see how much progress you make with what actually seems like a pretty low amount of exercise time spent per day, btw!
I can’t thank you enough for sharing all the advice and especially the food recommendations! I appreciate everything. Thanks so much!
"Most men don't think about flexibility" he got me with that one hahaha
Thank you so much for sharing all of this! 💜 This is quickly becoming my favorite RUclips channel. I love everything that you’re doing. Thanks for the constant inspiration and motivation!
I really admire your approach and humility. People think that the best in the world are superhuman or were born that way but really all it takes is will and consistency and you have both.
At first I thought this was a little stupid with all the pills and what-not, but this is amazing. I'm never going to be doing all of this stuff, but the approach and the way it's all presented is amazing. Never does Bryan claim to know what's best for others. He is simply experimenting and doing what he thinks is best for himself right now and constantly building on that, changing it. It is simply an extremely well-presented experiment
Thank you for sharing your journey and your findings with all of us. Really find you admirable and inspiring!
This a blueprint and I really like what I’ve seen and read so far. I’m in the process of seeing what I’m going to incorporate.
You're inspiration for all of us!! Thank you
Great video so far and awesome intro, Bryan! It's great to see you branch into different subjects about Longevity and slightly new things, so that the audience doesn't get bored. 🏝🍀
