that doesnt sound bad. it's an important question to ask when you approach something like this. im personally of the mind that aging is probably very malleable, but this is still a pretty fringe area of study so i have no idea how much this guy's regiment is doing over what we've known for a while. like that low calorie diets reduce aging in pretty much all animals we've tested it on, and exercise.
I do think it would make a change nonetheless maybe not as massive as someone that started off as unhealthy but definitely a difference because even when you‘re fit you might not take in the right nutrients or ensure that your bloodwork is in perfect balance etc.
Honestly I have nothing but positivity for what this man is doing. It is his money and he is basically taking one for the team giving us the results for free.
For free? He tries to sell stuff with it. And that not even at a moderate price. Hell people trying this stuff since forever, how are folks still falling for this?
Mike......... can we be real for one second? A single second. This filthy narcissist is spending millions of dollars to maybe look younger by a couple of years while the world falls apart and children are being roasted alive as a result of greed, and your response is..... that? That makes you so much sadder than him, maybe check yourself a little bit hey.
He's going to sell products off of his research, you can look up his website. There are several upcomming products already, so not that free. He didnt become a millionaire by doing stuff for free, but his research is amazing and he deserves all that publicity. Lets just hope he doesnt promote bullshit products
We need more people telling us truth like Eric. Just finished reading "The 23 Former Doctor Truths" by Lauren Clark. It is fascinating how society gets lied by Industry.
I finished that book 2 weeks ago and I can say that is amazing book. Would also recommend it. She helped me with so many of new health routines and it was actually interesting to read what she revealed about Industry and how they manipulate society.
Honestly dude you just seem a little depressed… all humor aside you aren’t taking great care of yourself and the reason you aren’t getting the endorphins is bc you need to run or hike diff elevations in order to do so. You gotta push yourself harder than just walking fast. I’m speaking as someone who has struggled with my weight and health so no judgement
I had to switch to a boring diet for medical reasons, and this is what I've concluded: Yes, you will feel better and look better, but boring food can do something else. It frees up time to do other things with your life. Simple, whole foods don't take too much time to prepare, and you are not bloated, tired, or waiting for food to digest. You don't spend that much time either in the grocery store or in the kitchen, cleaning dishes, pots and pans, etc. You actually realize that you have "extra" time and more importantly, the energy and focus to do things you've always wanted to do or the projects that you've put off.
Yep, same. I had my gallbladder removed surgically and I had to change my diet and lifestyle dramatically. No more sugary drinks, only water and tea with no sugar. The only meat I ate was chicken, turkey (white meat) etc. and ONLY steamed with steamed veggies. No frying on pan, as much as low saturated fat as possible. I didn't exercise - as he said in the video, it seems that my brain is not wired to receive pleasure from exercise but yes, you should exercise daily. My health physically and psychologically went from miserable to full of energy and I made huge positive choices and advancements in my life. I lost a ton of weight. Went from 120kg to 65kg. At the end of the day we are human, we make mistakes and I made mistake and slowly went back to unhealthy lifestyle which made me again miserable, depressed and lose my job. I'm restarting myself, I try to go back to everything, that made me feel better.
As a 41 year old man who is just now taking health seriously and has lost 40 pounds so far in the past few months...thank you for this video. It is a reminder that I need to keep making decisions that benefit my health. Absolutely great video. Much appreciated. Thank you for doing this...
I feel you im 43 had let myself go. When i was 41 I started realizing i needed change. I dropped 50 pounds 230 to 180 which Ive not weighed since i was 30 probably. I still struggle with regular exercise but im trying! My diet is really good thats where Ive put the most energy. I guess it’s time to start exercising more regularly.
While people who haven't been exercising just start, they often get accelerated gains but... yeah I think the video somewhat understates how dramatic those metric improvements were for a measely 30 days. When he said "not as much as I hoped" for weight loss even though it was over twice as much as the typical expectation XD (dietician predicted 2-8lbs)
@corbincrogame: Everybody dies who are born in this earth, and everybody will get old. This is called mortal land. Even if you eat healthy and do everything right, you can be hit by a car or die in some sort of accident. We are not in control of everything in this world. So, which lead us to spirituality. Incorporate spirituality in your day-two-day life. Eat healthy and think that whole world is your own home. In other words don't create enemies, ask for forgiveness and always stay peaceful and blissful. Even if you live 10 yrs, you would think that you'd lived a good life. It's not about how long you live, but how well you live. In other words try to make everyday peaceful and joyful, and extrapolate that 50-60 yrs. Ask yourself, did you live a good life? Of course you did, because you learned how to live a day on the right footing. I suggest you to create a notebook of philosophy and principles on how to live your best day, and live your day-to-day within that boundary of philosophy and principles. If your doctor say you only have 1 day to live. If somebody pissed you off , would you stay angry the whole day knowing that one day to live? So, for our peace of mind it is important to stay humble and be forgiving. For that doing meditation can be very powerful. And meditation can be a powerful tool to have a blissful and happy life. Remember you don't want a long life that is miserable, I think we all want joy from life for however long we live. So, we need to broaden our mind on how we can create a joyful day everyday.
I made a change in diet, supplements and started daily walking. After 3 months lost 18 lbs just had a physical and doctor said nothing is wrong with me and to keep doing what I am doing. I am 71.
Dude. Before you started the experiment, you looked like you're at least 50 years old. After you were done, you actually looked your age. Amazing what 30 days can do. Makes you think what can be achieved in a year.
@justinm1200 I did just that and I'm 55 and if I didn't tell people my age, they think I'm 35. It has been a 2 year transformation and I kept it simple with nutrition and H20 intake. Results: Stopped drinking alcohol completely, stopped smoking weed, lost 60 pounds, got off of 3 blood pressure meds, exercise everyday with a resting heart rate of 45bpm. Just got a 95% score for men my age from my family physician after a recent physical and blood work.
Seriously, came to say the exact same thing. He said 42 and I would have guessed 50s. Actually looks his age or late 30s after only 30 days. Congrats, hope it encourages everyone to take control over their health.
As a Malay women who follow specifically our traditional postpartum diets and regime for as long as 3months or so. Which mostly consist of specific bath time with herbs and specific roots, drinks speciallize drinks of turmeric for example, eat only specifically home cooked meals and food planned just for me. Also other routine like postpartum full body massage said to correct and align the misaligned and my nerve. I can say that it does make me feel healthier and recovering/heal faster. So... I understand what you guys are doing and others journey to anti-aging and stuff. It is a wonderful feeling to be healthy.
The reason it's boring is because it's a routine, and repetition is boring. But it's also kinda the opposite of stress, so boring is actually what we should want if we don't want to be stressed, and stress ages.
Routine requires discipline and self control which actually provide structure and since this routine is health related it becomes a self reinforcing virtuous cycle. Everyday he is becoming a better version of himself which feeds back into all areas of his life.
If you are truly able to decrease your stress to low levels, you don't feel bored! You can't achieve that without learning healthier psychological habits, and those habits will ensure quiet moments are joyful and peaceful. Boredom is a form of stress- it has similar effects as high stress situations on the body. I used to resent being stuck on a train with no phone, now I make time every day to sit quietly and do nothing.
@@taylorreed8021 You're missing the point, he has put out a ton of free stuff showing exactly what he does. He isn't obligated to share anything he spent his money on. So maybe stop being negative and just have some gratitude for people like that.
all of this stuff is common sense, everybody inherinently knows how to get healthy its just a matter of self discipline which is severely lacking in modern society. everybody wants instant gratification and over indulges in sugary, highly processed foods.
I started a plan similar to this 18 months ago, I fast everyday, not eating until 1:00pm. I gave up anything that contained sugar, no seed oils, no grains and tried my best to avoid any processed foods, I lost 82 lbs and my Hypertension (Hight Blood Pressure) went away, now at the age of 71 my resting B/P is 126/67. I do take about 20 to 30 supplements a day and my sleep score is usually in the 95 or better. I think I'll keep it up.

This is such amazing reporting. You did the challenge by remaining unbiased, and you showcased Bryan in a neutral light that made us all rethink what his goal was. Hearing about his mission from you made me think really critically about the choices I make now! Before your reporting, I just thought the blueprint diet was just a grasp at straws with a flashy headline of “reverse aging” now I know it’s so much more! Well well well done. I’m a huge fan now. Also the pacing was so well executed, very rarely do I stay for a whole 30 minute video, but your voice and the timing was so well done I didn’t even know I was towards the end!!!!
13 years ago I started gardening as a job instead of sitting behind the screen, losing 10 kg and improving my sight. Aged 57 I topped that, becoming an arborist, climbing trees. I outrun much younger people in stair cases. After a knee damage which left me hobble, missing cartilage, when physicians told me I'm having to deal with that for the rest of my life - two years on I can run stairs again. I'm having musli (self made) for breakfast since my studies - I can relate to Bryans method, with similar result. Just not at the scale he does it. I also try to live a meaningful and interesting life. I can afford it as a single, but with family?
Even I have a similar story. I had a cartilage tear at the age of 23 while playing football and the doctor told me not to climb stairs or do any physical activity. But I recovered in 6 months and started running again.
It's similar to the philosophy that stoicism promulgated Edit: It just occurred to me that 1 Corinthians 9:27 also has a similar sentiment: "But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified."
If people knew how much impact food and excercise has on their depression, anxiety and stress, then more than half of the existing healthcare industry would run out of business pretty fast. Dropping alcohol, caffeine, excessive sugar, saturated fats, salt intake is life changing. You don't need a doctor for it, it's the best medicine, and makes one feel great. I sometimes feel like if you feel stressed, sick, unhappy or have anxiety its nature's way of telling you to find better food, almost like it's telling you what you did was wrong and only when you start eating better it goes away.
Dude! That's impressive. What a transformation in just 30 days. You both look great and the data speaks for itself. You hardly ever see that much change in such a short time. I would say: the little bit of boredom is absolutely worth it.
Most of the eating we do in life is unconscious habit. I love eating raw fruits and vegetables. The taste buds undergo a transformation over several weeks, and after that it is just habit.
I love how bryan johnson used his money to benefit humanity by open sourcing his body to science in vivo! (no need to wait to die for that - we got other means now). I don't care if it makes sense or not, it's experimental - designed for learning. He's doing what no one can afford to - to help the world understand what they never will.
Just to let you know, you both do look more attractive and healthy at the end of your video. Great work. Btw, if you continue to document your journey as part of your business, you may be able to write off some of those expenses and extend your experiment. Check with your accountant.
He still has to do all of the work himself like what he eats, exercise, sleep. Technology and staff can't do that for him. They're there to measure his efforts.
As an autistic female, I like the idea of having a routine that doesn't require me to make too many decisions on a daily basis. It's not my strong suit and it distracts me from the things I want/need to do: studying, piano, and chess. I'll definitely give this a try!
I've noticed that, for me, endorphin rushes only come with more intense exercise. Lifting heavy, running fast, agility training, climbing etc. are much more likely to give me that feeling than hiking, walking, or other less intense movement.
Agreed. Plus he definitely would benefit from weight training. You can see one of his feet is rotated when he walks, and that he has a really bad posture. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the documentary and appreciated how they seemed to be levelled and realistic
Strength training would have helped the man who just walked. It’s a completely different hormone response. The increase in lean muscle mass is what drives the improvement of all important bio markers. Great and informative video 🙌🏾👍🏾
It helps some things, while cardio helps others. If you could only do one, there is a strong argument for weight training. But cardio, HIIT and isometric all have their utility. HIIT is great for mitochondria. Iso is great for resting heart rate. Cardio is great for the cardiovascular system, but is also great for the brain. Weight training is good for muscle, bone and skin.
@@ChessMasterNate Respectfully. Your information is appreciated but you are misguided in your assumptions. If this man would have done 3 to 4 full body moderate intensity strength training sessions a week, his markers, appearance and function would have showed greater improvement. While all the benefits you sited are possible, they are ONLY valid under certain metabolic conditions, none of which this gentleman has (insulin sensitivity, adequate testosterone, and functional cortisol levels to name three of MANY). In a subject with pre-existing elevated cortisol levels, Low-T and overall hormonal inefficiency...ANY form of cardio especially HIIT will elicit diminishing returns. Why? Because HIIT will raise his already high cortisol levels. Why is high is cortisol counter productive? I'll let you answer that since you seem to be well researched ;). The one thing the man did right was to do steady state cardio, which does not raise cortisol levels as aggressively, but compared to the benefits of strength training, it still was not the best use of his time. Consistent studies do show that cortisol levels will increase even with steady state cardio about about 4 weeks. Strength training on the other hand promotes insulin sensitivity, improved microcirculation, increased testosterone and better posture. I have trained, coached and treated hundreds high level athletes for the last 35 years with great success. Again your contribution is appreciated but your logic is missing a few critical ingredients. If you show me some case histories that remotely support your claims, I'll be interested to see them. I have thousands to show you on my end. 👍
@@ChessMasterNateweight training is good for the brain too wtf, it isn't specific like that, you could literally repair your brain in a big way by simple resistance exercise and aminos
WOW your face looks notably so much younger....in 30 days, that's AMAZING! The visceral fat loss also incredible, people should take note and draw from this.
Yeah I bet for most people, the basics plus a little extra can make a drastic impact in their lives. I think a lot of people completely overdo it with the small things. Here's the basics plus a little extra that I am thinking of: - minimal amount or no smoking, alcohol,... - whole food, chewing well, taking your time - good hydration - some cardio - some strength training - stress reduction techniques - actively trying to reduce stress - staying lean - staying flexible - staying muscular - wearing your seatbelt - brushing your teeth - getting to bed at ~10pm, same time every day - getting enough high quality sleep - continuously learning new things - reducing social media, news, television, ads,... - having goals, pursuing them and experiencing achievements - being part of society and giving back - being financially safe - surrounding yourself with likeminded, loving, health-conscious people - taking a minimal amount of supplements if advanced testing isn't available (being save first of all)
Good list, but I'd add some basic/inexpensive medical screenings in there as well. Our medical system is pretty good with early interventions for deadly diseases, but if left to advance beyond a certain point, it's pretty much a wrap. I'm thinking yearly derm checks for skin cancer, coronary calcium scan every decade or so, PSA, colon cancer screening (maybe earlier than insurance pays for), consideration of CT/MRI for tumor detection (based on weighing radiation risk vs family history and financial means), comprehensive blood testing every 2 years, etc.
Stress is a systematic problem. A lot of it results from the tyranny of the clock. We both need to do these things and create a system that facilitates them, so we're not trying to constantly struggle against the world's effect on our minds in the first place. We need to make a world that works with us and conversely. The individual and systemic are two sides of the same coin. Always. Another one would be making healthy foods and snacks common and plentiful on every corner while sugars are rare and in small bites. it doesn't even have to be an extreme change: making more of our candies like the Chinese-brand ones in China at least when I was there in 2016, would help. (Less sugar, just enough to make it a little sweet, but not enough that the sweetness becomes the primary characteristic. I _loved_ those treats.)
It is very hard to get the endorphines kick just by walking one hour... you need an intense workout. It's not that you are not wired this way, you are not doing enough
I'm not that fat as this man but I *hate* to exercise, I feel really sick when I do intense workout, with nausea etc. I just don't want to repeat it. Is a shitty feeling but I really don't enjoy workout at all
@@JP-xd6fm if you feel that bad is because you are doing too much too soon. It’s a process. Start slow but as days go by make your physical exercise a little bit more challenging. You should feel a bit tired, it’s enough if you are just starting. You can do it
Light (zone 2) workout daily ~30-60m, and 1-2 hard (zone 5) interval workouts (~10-20 mins in the zone per workout when adding up the intervals) per week.
@@JP-xd6fmI felt the exact same way when I exerted myself! I can do yoga, walk or lift light weights all day, but exertion makes me feel like I’m dying. Turns out I have exertion-induced histamine response/intolerance!! So I limit foods containing histamines (who knew?) and take a histamine-blocking supplement, and now have far less migraines and can mow my lawn without collapsing for hours afterwards.
The “metallic smell” is from thiols (in garlic). I was shuddering when I saw how much garlic was in the protocol. The thiols fight free radicals (and are also transformed into specific chemicals that depend on your gut bacteria). When you sweat them out, they are oxidized into chemicals that smell bad. Freshly cut garlic is particularly bad (HUGE difference when compared to processed garlic) By the way, it builds up in your system. … But the thiols are extremely effective at countering free radicals.
Interesting. I find cheap industrial garlic to have a strong metallic or chemical smell and flavor but organic garlic is delicious and I wouldn't call it's smell metallic at all just sharp and savory.
about that endorphin rush when you exercise, I thought the same as you that I just never would get that feeling. However, you have to find the kind of movement that gets you there. If walking doesn't do it, try cycling, if that doesn't work, try swimming, just keep trying new things and you'll find something that gets you to push yourself in the right way.
I for one love that Bryan Johnson is using himself as a lab to find the variables of anti-aging. One of the things people often overlook in these plans, which are often more like perfection quests than sustainable lifestyles, is the role of hardship. Plain old, unbalanced, crappy hardship like having to walk too many miles, work too long or toil too hard in the fields, occasionally. Exercise mimics that, but not quite. My granpa, just like yours probably, smoked like a chimney and lived well into his 90s. He was also a fireman, dock administrator and a hunter for most of his life. Which is to say he worked his ass off and his life isn't what I'd call easy, but it was very meaningful to him.
I agree, and I’d argue that hardship is probably much better than working out in that it’s meaningful. When you toil in the fields, you do it all day, every day, and you do it for your family. When you carry weights in the gym, you do it for abs, and you’re so bored and just waiting to leave in an hour. You can’t convince me the mindset and the sheer volume of exercise doesn’t make a difference to your health. Back in the day, your work out *mattered*
@TrumpNumberOneFan Sure, a lot of the advice is conventional, but the bulk of it is based on research he is conducting. For example, he is trying certain hormone treatments that I wouldn't want to be a guinea pig for, but if they work out for him, I'd be willing to try it in the future. Vanity? Maybe, but as long as he provides the data it doesn't affect us at all.
I wonder how much of the benefit was simply from not eating the standard junk food and getting some more exercise. Would be interesting to test just changing those things and see if the results are the same.
@@supersjaak123 intermittent =/= intermediate. Different words. Not trying to be a pest, but if you use them regularly, you should probably know to distinguish them. =)
you would think that this is easy for Bryan because he is wealthy but the vast majority of wealthy people would never do this . this is an excellent video.
Yup, I’m always shocked to see billionaires with Elon Musk being out of shape like that. you could have the best personal trainer and chef, as well as the best doctors and dietitians monitoring everything in your body. Also you could have the best skincare experts and look 10-15 years younger than you are with the best products
@@nomadv7860That's gotta tell something about the lifestyle, mindset and expensive things Elon buys (and by extension the health life choices riches make). He could be a multimillionaire, but if he's what he shows on camera as a business man, he must be on stress a good amount of time. This may not be neccesarily the case, just some food for thought.
It's astounding how little most wealthy people care- about themselves and others. While Bryan is after long-term sustainability, they just want short growth boosts, even if it won't support. I always pondered why rich people didn't just quit and live in luxury- once you have enough for several centuries why not make the best of it? Its because they're never satisfied... They just want more
Man not just your look but you sound better, your attitude changed, you’re different personality before and after in positive way. Very impressive and inspiring video.
I think I speak for many of us when I say that we'd all love to see the data from which Bryan derived an "average 10 year olds" rate of aging on those 50 biomarkers and more importantly the sample size. overall it seems like a positive plan i hope it works and that they use what they find responsibly.
Dude! I'm so proud, happy, and excited for you. I'm currently 195lb from 220lb from watching UA-cam videos. I've cut out several terrible things in my diet. I stopped eating products, and focused more on food. Water is boring, but I believe that getting older doesn't mean that we have to be flabby and sick. We look and feel better in our clothes. We won't live forever, but why not be healthy before we do? Congratulations Sir!
@@KTPDAILY I focused on sugar, and pasta. Not carbs. I toast every type of bread. Toasting bread cooks the gluten, which makes it easier for our bodies to digest. Rice after cooked and refrigerated becomes a natural probiotic. No more buying yogurt and crap. No ketchup, sugar. Slow boiled food. I take a shot of olive oil before bed, and alternate nights with a cap of apple cider vinegar. Not every night though. In moderation. Drink half of your body weight in water (oz.) and adjust to your tolerance. You'll be on your way. Just read labels. If it says way more than what you're buying. It's hurting you. Leave it. Honey, Stevia for sweetness. You have to move your body too. Nothing crazy. Get some hours of sleep, or at least rest for your brain. Have success and believe IN YOU. You don't need anyone to push you if you want it for you!
Coming from someone with massive weight loss experience, you can get very similar results by just cutting out the processed foods alone. Cut out processed food and stay in a calorie deficit. Walk a few miles a day. That’s it. Life changing stuff.
One benefit of fasting that you can't get on calorie deficit is autophagy I agree that you can get a lot of great results cutting out processed and non organic foods.
Thank you for your commitment in doing this project and sharing the results. I was particularly astounded by your triglyceride and LDL drops in only a month! All great information. Bless you!
Yes! Yes! You noticed that they both looked healthier like a third of the way in. At first, I thought that it was my imagination. But they really really got healthier.
I think it’s important to remember that Bryan isn’t just taking dietary supplements- he is also on TRT- which I’m sure has helped plenty with his muscle composition, among other things.
THIS IS CRAZY!! I thought at the start of the vid it wouldnt be that much of a big deal but at the end it just blows ur mind when u give ur life into good monotony you can actually control your mind
The fact that is open source information is a BIG respect from me. He might not find the "youth recipe" but the data from his experiment will be VALUABLE as gold when people will use it to find information on how to slow the process of ageing even further.
how is the data useful if he’s doing so much? how do we know what’s actually working or how things are affecting each other? hard to get good data in this case i would think.
Yes, he could easily have sold this as yet another of those “wellness programs” from your trusted influencer. So many of them sell a workout or diet routine for hundreds of dollars a month, and it’s not even grounded in research. With how much traction this guy gets, I bet he could turn a profit despite his $2m a year spending-but he’s giving it away for free.
@@giuseppejones1554the earlier things are hard to tell except for being grounded in substantial research. But he’s also adding new things while controlling for everything else, and only keeping those that make a difference in his routine biomarker tests. So on 1 person at least that’s about as good of data as you can get.
Great job! The difference between what he looked like at the beginning and the end was astounding! And I think the endorphin rush he wanted would come if he actually tried to do something with his body his body was not fully prepared to do. Instead of just walking, maybe if he tried some squats, suicides or high intensity exercise he would find that he is "wired" that way too.
definitely ! i think the endorphin rush comes from the burn in ur muscles, i’ve got it from running a few times but i had to run like 3/4 miles to get it. it’s much easier to get the endorphin rush from doin ab workouts or sum that uses our muscles that we needa work on more
As I look at this, part of what I'm seeing is: "we aren't getting enough nutrition from the foods we eat." And I think part of why you'd have to take so many supplements going with Bryan's plan, is because of the foods we can't metabolize quite as efficiently. Also, Food Theory did actually discuss the whole idea of what we can process, and found research that suggests the possibility that everyone in America is not getting enough of certain nutrients. In the end, I think it would be worth looking into meals that involve more of those nutritious foods, without sacrificing taste.
Have to say, You both look exponentially younger and healthier. You can see it in your skin, your hair and definitely your body! Imagine what you could look and feel like in 6 months?? I just met Bryan this weekend in Palm Beach, and he is an incredible human with an incredible mission and purpose! BIGGEST FAN!
IF is a game changer. The first couple weeks is tough getting used to it. I normally do 16/8, 20/4, 23/1 for Intermitted Fasting. It gives your digestive track a break and you feel great not eating all the time.
If you're the kind of person who exercises every/most days, it's very difficult to keep a routine. Fasted running and gym sessions are not much fun at all
@@pandorasbox9294 It's also miserable and terrible for performance. If you just want to be skinny - go for it. If you actually want to impove at what you do it's horrendous
Hats off, you really looked better and healthier after 30 days!! I'd love to see some results after a year of this video and know which changes you did to the blueprint!
This is the type of content I love seeing. Unlocking our super powers through what nature has already provided. Just need to find the program that fits your lifestyle, body, and mind. I respect what this guy is doing and that he isn't trying to profit off his data. Sharing this data is great and what humanity needs!
Exactly and sometimes uneducated religious quacks claim, he is going against God, escape death bs. If anything he is doing what we are obligated to, progress further, live a healthy life taking care of yourself, hardly against anything
@@enbuscando good for him, as a businessman it's important to keep the mind sharp. With a few hundred millions in the bank, it's not like he needs more money
If I spent 2 million a year of my own hard earned money, researched 100s of scientific papers, spoke w/ dozens of Drs, got poked & prodded regularly, dedicated most of my waking hours to a strict routine & tests, & disciplined myself to take *100* pills A DAY, & eat a complicated but very limited diet... Why in the WORLD should I "not" be able to profit from all of MY investments & effort??
My grandfather lived to 104. He almost never exercised beyond walking a mile or so a day. He never took supplements, not one in his whole life. He didn't obsess over his diet, ate a variety of foods, but never too much. He was never overweight, never developed dementia. In spite of being a forensic pathologist and county coroner, he was always friendly, cheerful and loving.
Reading your comment I was about to ask you something when I’d finished reading but the last sentence answered it. I’ve always thought happy people always seem so much healthier and look younger without doing anything excessive I’ve seen people go to the gym and get shredded with a good body but always seem angry or miserable and as a result they look older and unhappy as if they feel they have to go to the gym for some reason. This guy Bryan looks sort of empty in his eyes like he’s not enjoying life, I saw another video of him doing yoga and he had to hold on to a table to get up like older people trying to steady themselves and he was younger than here maybe early 40s
Sounds like your grandfather was one of very few people in this world who was blessed with a unique genetic structure which allowed him to live for that long. Indeed, science has shown that people who live past 100 in most cases have a unique combination of genes. Otherwise, he lived a completely normal life, like most people, but for some reason he ended up living 25 years longer than most. It's just luck.
Reality is mostly based on math. Numbers determine everything. The majority represent the general. The minority numbers are not as relevant in the grand scheme of it all. My grandfather is 97 and energetic and talkative. He has a horrible diet and eats junk food. Just because he jumped off the bridge and survived doesn’t mean jumping off a bridge is a good idea if most people don’t survive the jump. Keyword “most”. Use some logic.
@@danielmata610 So you agree with me that Bryan Johnson's self-experiment and his claims mean nothing because he's just one person, not part of a large scientific study. Good to hear. I countered one anecdote with another.
You can’t reverse it but I think you can slow it down. But in the end we all just die. I saw a hilarious bumper sticker once. “eat right, exercise, die anyway”
We all die but do we really live? you got people that are 50 years old that have no mobility, and can barely walk. Or you can still be running in your 70s. Doesn't sound the same to me at all
Haha... Right. I just wish YT would stop putting videos about this guy in my feed. I dislike seeing his face. He can THINK he looks 18 all he wants but to me appears to have an unhealthy pallor. And if he is SO healthy, why aren't his sclera brighter?
@@VHS_NEON Oh! I only just discovered how to dispense with undesirable videos in the feed.. Had hoped someone "out there" might have pointed it out but - no worries. Last time. (Yay!)
I love the last part of this video. I’m a female with a disease called lipoedema, I’m 33 and often times I feeel so much older because of this disease. I have to follow a strict diet for it not to get worse, exercise and eat very little to no carbs. Every time I go out with friends I feel pushed to drink alcohol and eat processed foods. They look at me weird if I don’t want to do the things they do, almost like I’m being in a higher moral position than them, when in reality, they don’t have any disease and they don’t know what is like to live with one that is so exhausting. Unfortunately I live in Latin America, where partying and being super social are the “normal” but I’m neither of those and I wish people here would take better care of their health.
In general it works better if you do not say simply no, but explain that you're on a special diet (for your disease). People in general want to belong to the group, so anyone standing out with healthy behaviour vs. them indulging might raise feelings in them if they're being 'bad', while you're being 'good'. People in general can accept it much better when they understand why, or when you say it is a temporary thing for e.g. a competition or race.
I undrstand the struggle of being singled out, but the socialising and letting the hair down in (familiar or not) publuc would be something a big part (not the latino one) of the Word is absolutely losing. Peope are more loney than ever, so you got something going for your beautiful region.
Many thanks to the whole Freethink team. I usually skip a few minutes or watch the videos at double or triple speed to get through them as quickly as possible. I watched and enjoyed every second of it. Even the cat lifting exercise 🙂 And thanks to Bryan Johnson! You are great guys! You should be proud of yourselves for being brave enough to take on the challenge of changing your standards so quickly to see how it feels!
Thank you for doing this experiment. You guys look so amazing! Also, I better understand what Bryan is doing now, whereas before I thought he was kind of strange and a bit creepy. You got the message behind his project out there in a comprehensive way (for the health plebs- me). I applaud you.
I had my gallbladder removed surgically and I had to change my diet and lifestyle dramatically. No more sugary drinks, only water and tea with no sugar. The only meat I ate was chicken, turkey (white meat) etc. and ONLY steamed with also steamed veggies. No frying on pan and as much as low saturated fat as possible. I didn't exercise - as he said in the video, it seems that my brain is not wired to receive pleasure from exercise but yes, you should exercise daily. My health physically and psychologically went from miserable to full of energy and I made huge positive choices and advancements in my life. I lost a ton of weight. Went from 120kg to 65kg. At the end of the day we are human, we make mistakes and I made mistake and slowly went back to unhealthy lifestyle which made me again miserable, depressed and lose my job. I'm restarting myself, I try to go back to everything, that made me feel better.
I applaud your efforts! I think the thing you were missing with the exercise is fun. I find weight lifting fun, especially when making progress over time, but you could try out rock climbing or any other full body sport. The key to getting the most of of a workout is enjoying it, you can't run all that fast if you're dragging your feet
I agree, he made mistake with just walking, weight lighting is way, way more fun, especially, if he does not enjoy walking. and he would definately have more benegits
A lot of people just haven't experienced "fun workouts" before, and their bodies do become accustomed to a more sedentary state, so things like rock climbing or boxing are way less fun on the first try, because the discomfort of bodily strain is so high. Good point for sure, but it can be a journey for some people to make exercise fun that takes some time. Personally, I went from really fit and happy, to being terribly sick for a long time, and the reality is that working out isn't fun for me anymore. Of course, this isn't the end of that story.
@@theabactor9561 a really good point, it's a lot easier to say "just enjoy the workout" when I already do. Sorry to hear about your sickness, hope you're able to get back to a place where you can enjoy exercise again!
Research that is shared so selflessly is immensely appreciated Thank you Brian for testing the possibilities the data outcome could be helpful to mankind Discipline is freedom
I’ve been following Bryan blueprint for the past six months and I feel amazing, I’m in my 40’s but I feel like I’m in my teens now. This really works, thanks Bryan.
@@tom7471I would think the vast vast majority of the 2 million is testing and machinery. I’d assume the food, supplements, and exercise could be done for roughly 2k a month. I eat the super veggie and it’s pretty affordable as a meal.
When you love every minute of your life the time it takes to buy food, cook it and clean up kind of interferes with the other things you want to be doing so this protocol is perfect. I did at one time think to myself "I wish there was a way to put all the nutrients I need in a capsule so I didn't have to spend so much time preparing food". And here it pretty much is. I can't afford the supplements but I can make a few changes in the food I eat to follow Bryan's protocol. Oh just a side note - I grew up eating whole foods from my grandma, grandpa and dad's garden and rarely ate at a restaurant or processed food. So, when I moved out I was exceptionally busy taking the medical laboratory technologist course full time and working part-time. Every minute of my day was structured. This meant I spent almost no time preparing meals, due to my lack of knowledge and experience in the kitchen, the variety of meals was pretty limited. I basically had 7-8 meals to rotate, so for me, Bryan's protocol will be easy. Thanks Bryan.
Thanks Jason! Also - for those who are interested - make sure you subscribe to Jason's channel - he does great videos that cover startups and innovators. The Hard Reset team are fans! youtube.com/@jasoncarman?si=eelaxi5AyfOzv54d
I follow a ketogenic food programme. After 3 months I had full energy, clear mind, better sleep, and rid my dairy allergy. I reduced 20 kg ( about 45lb ) and dropped my diabetic medication. I’m a woman of 70 years.
Incredibly well-presented and to the point, it actually condensed Bryan's whole theory into a few simple parts that can inspire many people to give it a try. Well done!
A lot of the vitamins in the blueprint last for 2-3 months. So mothly supplement cost is actually a lot cheaper than what is said in this video, just the initial cost is high.
Yes, you nailed it. The problem with modern culture is that there are too many choices, and when your choices are removed, then you might feel like it is "boring", but it is important to ignore your feelings and stick to facts and logic, which is almost impossible for most people today.
We act on feelings. Feelings make things salient. Pursue things that give us feelings and are in line with facts and logic. But feelings is what makes life wonderful.
I don't think I would enjoy living a life like this. If we would start being aware of what kinds of food we consume on a daily basis, eat healthier, exercise, consume herbs, and do occasional fasting it would achieve the same results in the end. The food quality has gone down alot over the years due to big corporations tampering with the ingredients and the feed they give the animals. Oh and cut out GMO foods, refined sugars, refined salts, and toxic oils such as canola oil, margarine oil, vegetable oils.
Now if you add "emotional processing" and other forms of spiritual work on top of it you'll intensify the results even more. In simpler terms....."Feel your feelings and honor Love, Humility & Truth". Happy to see you take the leap and share your experience brother. God Bless :)
@AndreyRubtsovRU there's considerable science behind the value of believing in a higher power. I'm not sure that I do, but I was emotionally healthier when I was a church goer.
Endorphins really kick in with intensity in a workout. Walking and even jogging won’t really give you that feeling you are looking for but try short bursts of running as fast as you can or lifting heavy weights to achieve the rush. Great vid!
When I was younger I used to get “runner’s high” almost every time I ran. Now in my mid forties I rarely get it. Perhaps age plays a role, but one controllable factor is music. Back then I would listen to very intense fast paced music. Nowadays I listen to podcasts while running which tend to keep me calm and chilled out. But if I put on intense dance music or similar, I usually get that high. Picking up the pace slightly does help, but it doesn’t take much. Note, you can get adrenaline rushes even with a relatively low heart rate; I’m thinking of our responses to roller coasters or bungee jumping, etc. So I don’t think you actually need to get your heart rate up very high to achieve a runner’s high. It just needs to be “mentally intense” if that makes sense.
A lot of us ex drug addicts have replaced our drugs with exercise sometimes even addicted to exercising. The working out gives us the feel good chemicals we got used to with drugs.
the first time i heard about this i thought it was some eccentric millionaire but when he start talking i was in awe. This is so fascinating to me i have so much respect for what Bryan is doing the determination persistence and willing to share this for a reasonable price. I will look into it i am very intrigued. I wish i could afford to live like this not so much about aging but staying healthy and strong, Thank you 🙏
Yes, i believe his routine has anti aging effects, but those practices are hardly applicable to most people ... Problem is the vast amount of the population dont have the time and resources to keep up with it.
I actually love the foods Bryan eats, I've not eaten animals since I was age 11 because of compassion and love for all animals and have been vegan for many years, I do take supplements but nowhere near as many, I exercise but not as much. I feel very well, l look much younger than my birthday, I'm not overweight, I have no health concerns generated by eating badly and I'm loving life, it's so refreshing to see people look after their health, Bryan receives hate and jealousy, I have been subjected to nasty comments because of my lifestyle which honestly makes me glad I live the way I do even more, people will always be nasty and negative if someone is different, well I say sod them, keep up the good work and fight against the tide of poor health and lack of compassion 💚
As a nursing student, I've seen many people who are bed ridden due to preventable diseases. These diseases are mainly caused by a couple things, addiction to eating high processed foods and lack of performative exercise. By consuming high processed foods, you consume addictive substances like maltodextrin, fructose, msg, dextose, sodium and artificial flavors (these make people consume more food than they need due to its addictive quality). When yoj consume high processed foods you also eat components of a whole food that are separated from eachother in order to inhance certain foods, thus making them more palatable and very easily consumed, making you eat mkre of it. For example, the soy bean, is separated into lecithin, oils and proteins. This takes away the nutritive components of the soy plants like its minerals and gives to the market free will over how much of each component they want to add to foods. Example, bread, nowadays, have soy lecithin, making them more soft, easily edible, thus making us eat more of it, but is also common that they can add maltodextrin too, this making it more addictive and making us over eat. This over eating creates insulin resistance, where the body can no longer store the high glucose from the blood in cells of the body, thus leading to type 2 diabetes. This over eating can cause plaque, leading to high blood pressure, then heart attack or stroke. Someone can get bed ridden by a stroke when you get paralysed on one side, they can start to have infections that don't heal due to the high amount of sugar in the blood due to diabetes. EAT WHOLE FOODS, COOK MORE, GROW YOUR FOOD. AVOID PROCESSED FOODS, YOUR BODY WILL LOVE IT. I lost 7 lbs from this mindset.
Performatuve exercise is also healthy for your body, not only to lool good but to train your body to deal with stress. When you are exercising and pushing yourself, your body reacts by secreting adrenaline. This causes you to have a higher heart rate and faster breathing, thus training and fortifying your body in times of stress. You end up finding joy in pushing through and sweating. You'll feel proud of what you can accomplish with your own body, making you want to do it more, then making you stronger. EXERCISE AND PUSH YOURSELF:)
This seems to be the message of every doctor out there that is striving to educate the public regarding the negative impact of processed foods, much of which never existed until the 20th century - hence the 'epidemic' proportions of those developing metabolic disorders, dysfunction and diseases which stem from it - especially if it triggers chronic inflammation. That's all due to how 'processing' denatures the food our bodies were genetically adapted to via evolution, relative to fiber, vitamins, minerals etc. vs. where they have to 'enrich' and 'supplement' in order to compensate... in short, 'Garbage-In, Garbage-Out'. The only reason we can cope with it is due to the body's ability to compensate, but at what cost? Likewise, once you lose your youthful vim and vigor, the body no longer cope's as it might when younger - that's a basic fact. Unless of course you're one of the 20% or so that might eat, smoke, drink whatever they like and still live to ripe old age. Otherwise, why would anyone in their right mind chose a life of medication and chronic disease for the taste and convenience?
Great video! I follow the blueprint nutrition plan and feel amazing, noticeably more energy, and a coworker did say that i was glowing (my skin) lol. Weight lifting has such great benefits, you should try to incorporate some of that into your lifestyle since, as we all age, we lose muscle mass. I can see how you think it's kinda boring, but i think the 3rd meal being your choice on what to make stops it from being boring.
The problem that I have with this study is that it doesn't matter what diet you get on.... if you're cutting grains, starches, and sugars out you're always going to improve in over-all health. I want to see somebody already on a healthy diet (whole foods, no starches, grains, and sugars) who is already exercising change their diet. This doesn't show that Blueprint works. It just confirms that any diet removing the the grains, starches, and sugars is better for anyone.
you want to see somebody on a healthy diet who is already excercising? arent there thousands of youtubers who do that? you think that cutting grains, starches and sugars will always improve over-all health? also his approach to extending his life isnt "cutting grains starches and sugars"
The whole point is to improve health for the average person. The average person isn’t healthy. Results for an already healthy person would either be minimal if anything, which isn’t as drastic or entertaining for UA-cam. But I admit I’m still curious too 😝
Exercise becomes so much more enjoyable when you do it regularly! Should’ve started lifting weights in addition to the walking. I find the feeling at the end of a lifting session far more satisfying than a long walk. The dopamine and serotonin are flying around everywhere.
I think, to really understand if there is anything to this plan, it would be very interesting to compare the full plan to the impact of simply eating healthy and starting to exercise for a month. For example, would results have really been meaningfully better than someone just going from zero to 1 hour a day of exercise and eating healthy, but taking none of the $1,100 of monthly supplements?
I also think that you can drastically reduce the supplement amount by adding animal products to the diet. Human bodies are not evolved to be herbivore, and trying to stay vegan does add an unnecessary complexity to the routine
The guy lost fat and started exercising. It wasn't the other stuff. Or at least, that is known to have such a massive effect that you can't draw any conclusions about blueprint.
@@LukeMosse Yeah I think it would be more useful to try it on someone who is relatively fit already and wants to take it to the next level. The way it's done here it's impossible to separate the benefits from the program and just the general exercise and less calories.
Its ALWAYS a shocking change for the first month or so, but after that it stops pretty abruptly. I lost a HEAP of weight and became significantly healthier when I started daily exercise and cutting out as much sugars and fat as I could maintain. No stupid supplements, no silly vegan rubbish. What we saw here was just typical initial benefits, but long term they waft away like a fart in a jacuzzi.
would love to see someone that is already exercising consistently try this. Another good vid would be to see if there is a big difference in working out before vs after work
Great suggestion! We published an article about the best time for exercise in 2022. Here's a sneak peek: "Early exercisers may not be able to achieve peak performance. Stiffer muscles, fewer stored energy reserves from overnight fasting, and a slightly cooler body temperature in the morning add up to hamper exercise output. Therefore, more avid exercisers might prefer working out in the afternoon." Read the rest here: www.freethink.com/health/best-time-to-exercise TLDR; the best exercise is one that gets done. What time works best for you?
@@freethink I think the best exercise is before sunset, when sun intensity is not strong to damage skin cells, but get natural Vitamin D, and have room for body rest before sleep. Also, you have your big meal 2-3 hours before exercise, and small mill after exercise (if you want bigger gains)
How much of this is just the exercising and good diet vs. the special supplements? It would be interesting to test what would happen if someone did the blueprint supplements but didn't exercise. Anyone that exercises and. eats a basic good diet might see the same results so what makes blueprint special?
i am also doing this kind of mad passionate dedicated diet plan on a lower scale for three months.And many of my test biomarkers are back in green.If i had so much money to spend, i would have done it a bit differently.Rather than taking the supplements route for everything,i would have gone for extracts and foods from sources. But still i appreciate the passion of Bryon to at least try and reverse something conceived impossible so far.
"If it were easy and cheap, everyone would be eating healthy". When I was a student I had to learn to appreciate the value of what I could buy with the little money I had. In order to make ends meet, I could spend €120 per month on food and drinks. I learned quickly that any processed food cost(s) more than unprocessed ones. Hey presto: healthy = cheaper. Same for drinks bought in the pub vs those bought in a supermarket. Invite friends, drink at home. The healthier I ate, the more money I had left to pursue hobbies and sports, such as photography and rock climbing. Being able to pursue them was and is a powerful motivation to me to eat healthy, and that's what made it easy for me. What also helped was that my parents usually cooked at home. After they separated, each of them continued this habit. If you did not grow up with such habits, then get some friends who have them and (relearn to) cook with them. So, for the "easy" part: take a discerning look at your motivations, your wishes, and prioritize accordingly. Good luck!
I try to start a routine but I often end up back where I started. I feel physically better, then think "oh, im getting healthier and my muscles are hurting, ill just take a day off, its probably good for me" then that turns into 2 days and then I just lose momentum from there. Also, being in a family, there is always some birthday or something to celebrate, pizza, cake, that also puts me in a spiral down.
I hear u. But on a positive note i think those sort of failures can strengthen your future commitment. Like if you become gung ho about it again you'll think about how last time you fizzled out, and will adjust more to prevent it or power through. And maybe youll fizzle again but odds are you'll make it further. And so on. Its how i often am anyway. Some of my biggest achievements have happened like this, where after multiple failures you eventually reach a point of ok fk this im doing whatever it takes, and do.
I think this is where Bryan’s concept is strong, and they did a great job in the video discussing it. ‘Automatic’ habit based behavior makes this easy to avoid, no decision, no agony of missing out, and then giving in. It can also make room to deviate if you have been on the routine long enough, without losing momentum.
If you’re looking to start any new routine I highly highly recommend reading the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. When starting a new routine it’s important to take it easy at first and focus on consistency over quality before slowly ramping up the difficulty. If you’re in the swing of things and you’re just feeling crappy one day, it’s totally okay to scale back the difficulty and do an easier workload, the number one most important thing is to not stop the routine. If you do end up falling off the bandwagon don’t beat yourself up. Just lower the difficulty, start again, and then work back up to where you left off.
@@Retronize84 haha yep, reading wasn’t enough for me at first either. Employing those techniques is a habit in and of itself. Don’t focus on doing every single thing he recommends just follow the basics, don’t get too ambitious at the start but definitely make sure you start to challenge yourself after a while. Like I said earlier a crucial point is that it’s okay to scale back down once you’ve worked your way up, you have to slowly learn to treat yourself kindly and not try to berate yourself with negative self talk
From chatgpt: Spermidine is called spermidine because it was first discovered in semen. The compound was initially identified in human sperm, hence the name derived from "sperm". The suffix "-idine" is commonly used in chemistry to denote an organic compound containing nitrogen, specifically a type of polyamine. Polyamines like spermidine are vital for cellular functions, including cell growth and proliferation. The discovery of spermidine in sperm cells led to its naming, highlighting the biological context in which it was first found.
It may sound bad but I want to see this test on people that are already fit to know if it makes a meaningful difference.
Exceptional point.
that doesnt sound bad. it's an important question to ask when you approach something like this. im personally of the mind that aging is probably very malleable, but this is still a pretty fringe area of study so i have no idea how much this guy's regiment is doing over what we've known for a while. like that low calorie diets reduce aging in pretty much all animals we've tested it on, and exercise.
I do think it would make a change nonetheless maybe not as massive as someone that started off as unhealthy but definitely a difference because even when you‘re fit you might not take in the right nutrients or ensure that your bloodwork is in perfect balance etc.
Define "fit." Lots of people think they're healthy on a completely destructive regimine. But they have muscles, so think they're healthy.
Yeah good point and also to see if their current excercise regiment is actually slightly/heavily detremental to their body.
Honestly I have nothing but positivity for what this man is doing. It is his money and he is basically taking one for the team giving us the results for free.
For free?
He tries to sell stuff with it. And that not even at a moderate price.

Real heroes don’t wear capes
but with the publicity he's getting, he's well on track to getting that investment back. plus he's had the health benefits

He's going to sell products off of his research, you can look up his website. There are several upcomming products already, so not that free. He didnt become a millionaire by doing stuff for free, but his research is amazing and he deserves all that publicity. Lets just hope he doesnt promote bullshit products
We need more people telling us truth like Eric. Just finished reading "The 23 Former Doctor Truths" by Lauren Clark. It is fascinating how society gets lied by Industry.

Industry is manipulating society so much
Honestly dude you just seem a little depressed… all humor aside you aren’t taking great care of yourself and the reason you aren’t getting the endorphins is bc you need to run or hike diff elevations in order to do so. You gotta push yourself harder than just walking fast. I’m speaking as someone who has struggled with my weight and health so no judgement
I had to switch to a boring diet for medical reasons, and this is what I've concluded: Yes, you will feel better and look better, but boring food can do something else. It frees up time to do other things with your life. Simple, whole foods don't take too much time to prepare, and you are not bloated, tired, or waiting for food to digest. You don't spend that much time either in the grocery store or in the kitchen, cleaning dishes, pots and pans, etc. You actually realize that you have "extra" time and more importantly, the energy and focus to do things you've always wanted to do or the projects that you've put off.
Use Spices

I feel you im 43 had let myself go. When i was 41 I started realizing i needed change. I dropped 50 pounds 230 to 180 which Ive not weighed since i was 30 probably. I still struggle with regular exercise but im trying! My diet is really good thats where Ive put the most energy. I guess it’s time to start exercising more regularly.
Those are amazing results for 30 days….. who cares if the age calculator is accurate. All of those lab results and biometrics were great.
While people who haven't been exercising just start, they often get accelerated gains but... yeah I think the video somewhat understates how dramatic those metric improvements were for a measely 30 days. When he said "not as much as I hoped" for weight loss even though it was over twice as much as the typical expectation XD (dietician predicted 2-8lbs)
@@dylr7883 that true
Wow, I watch this entire thing. I absolutely love your content. I was always afraid of getting old. Thank you for taking the time to do this
@corbincrogame: Everybody dies who are born in this earth, and everybody will get old. This is called mortal land. Even if you eat healthy and do everything right, you can be hit by a car or die in some sort of accident. We are not in control of everything in this world. So, which lead us to spirituality. Incorporate spirituality in your day-two-day life. Eat healthy and think that whole world is your own home. In other words don't create enemies, ask for forgiveness and always stay peaceful and blissful. Even if you live 10 yrs, you would think that you'd lived a good life. It's not about how long you live, but how well you live. In other words try to make everyday peaceful and joyful, and extrapolate that 50-60 yrs. Ask yourself, did you live a good life? Of course you did, because you learned how to live a day on the right footing. I suggest you to create a notebook of philosophy and principles on how to live your best day, and live your day-to-day within that boundary of philosophy and principles. If your doctor say you only have 1 day to live. If somebody pissed you off , would you stay angry the whole day knowing that one day to live? So, for our peace of mind it is important to stay humble and be forgiving. For that doing meditation can be very powerful. And meditation can be a powerful tool to have a blissful and happy life. Remember you don't want a long life that is miserable, I think we all want joy from life for however long we live. So, we need to broaden our mind on how we can create a joyful day everyday.
I made a change in diet, supplements and started daily walking. After 3 months lost 18 lbs just had a physical and doctor said nothing is wrong with me and to keep doing what I am doing. I am 71.
that's quite good, cheers
Go daddy 😊
Dude. Before you started the experiment, you looked like you're at least 50 years old. After you were done, you actually looked your age. Amazing what 30 days can do. Makes you think what can be achieved in a year.
You can make an insane body transformation in just a year
@justinm1200 I did just that and I'm 55 and if I didn't tell people my age, they think I'm 35. It has been a 2 year transformation and I kept it simple with nutrition and H20 intake. Results: Stopped drinking alcohol completely, stopped smoking weed, lost 60 pounds, got off of 3 blood pressure meds, exercise everyday with a resting heart rate of 45bpm. Just got a 95% score for men my age from my family physician after a recent physical and blood work.
Seriously, came to say the exact same thing. He said 42 and I would have guessed 50s. Actually looks his age or late 30s after only 30 days. Congrats, hope it encourages everyone to take control over their health.

The reason it's boring is because it's a routine, and repetition is boring. But it's also kinda the opposite of stress, so boring is actually what we should want if we don't want to be stressed, and stress ages.
Routine requires discipline and self control which actually provide structure and since this routine is health related it becomes a self reinforcing virtuous cycle. Everyday he is becoming a better version of himself which feeds back into all areas of his life.
If you are truly able to decrease your stress to low levels, you don't feel bored! You can't achieve that without learning healthier psychological habits, and those habits will ensure quiet moments are joyful and peaceful. Boredom is a form of stress- it has similar effects as high stress situations on the body. I used to resent being stuck on a train with no phone, now I make time every day to sit quietly and do nothing.
you can stress your body in a healthy way with high intensity exercise and it has tons of benefits
This is the core.

all of this stuff is common sense, everybody inherinently knows how to get healthy its just a matter of self discipline which is severely lacking in modern society. everybody wants instant gratification and over indulges in sugary, highly processed foods.
I started a plan similar to this 18 months ago, I fast everyday, not eating until 1:00pm. I gave up anything that contained sugar, no seed oils, no grains and tried my best to avoid any processed foods, I lost 82 lbs and my Hypertension (Hight Blood Pressure) went away, now at the age of 71 my resting B/P is 126/67. I do take about 20 to 30 supplements a day and my sleep score is usually in the 95 or better. I think I'll keep it up.
Keep on going! You're an inspiration to a 36-year old like me!
Why no grains? Aren't those grains which are complex carbohydrates good for us?

Wow man ! thats such a inspiration ! Could you name your suppliements ?
This is such amazing reporting. You did the challenge by remaining unbiased, and you showcased Bryan in a neutral light that made us all rethink what his goal was. Hearing about his mission from you made me think really critically about the choices I make now! Before your reporting, I just thought the blueprint diet was just a grasp at straws with a flashy headline of “reverse aging” now I know it’s so much more! Well well well done. I’m a huge fan now. Also the pacing was so well executed, very rarely do I stay for a whole 30 minute video, but your voice and the timing was so well done I didn’t even know I was towards the end!!!!
13 years ago I started gardening as a job instead of sitting behind the screen, losing 10 kg and improving my sight. Aged 57 I topped that, becoming an arborist, climbing trees. I outrun much younger people in stair cases. After a knee damage which left me hobble, missing cartilage, when physicians told me I'm having to deal with that for the rest of my life - two years on I can run stairs again. I'm having musli (self made) for breakfast since my studies - I can relate to Bryans method, with similar result. Just not at the scale he does it.
I also try to live a meaningful and interesting life. I can afford it as a single, but with family?
You describe a Person I know. But I guess you arent from germany xD
And therein lies the rub, can you afford it with a family? Definitely not a question I’m looking forward to answering…
Even I have a similar story. I had a cartilage tear at the age of 23 while playing football and the doctor told me not to climb stairs or do any physical activity. But I recovered in 6 months and started running again.
amazing

If people knew how much impact food and excercise has on their depression, anxiety and stress, then more than half of the existing healthcare industry would run out of business pretty fast. Dropping alcohol, caffeine, excessive sugar, saturated fats, salt intake is life changing. You don't need a doctor for it, it's the best medicine, and makes one feel great. I sometimes feel like if you feel stressed, sick, unhappy or have anxiety its nature's way of telling you to find better food, almost like it's telling you what you did was wrong and only when you start eating better it goes away.
I always feel better after a drink made out of water blended with blueberries. Or watermelon. ❤
Amen to that!
Dude! That's impressive. What a transformation in just 30 days. You both look great and the data speaks for itself. You hardly ever see that much change in such a short time. I would say: the little bit of boredom is absolutely worth it.

I love how bryan johnson used his money to benefit humanity by open sourcing his body to science in vivo! (no need to wait to die for that - we got other means now).

I've noticed that, for me, endorphin rushes only come with more intense exercise. Lifting heavy, running fast, agility training, climbing etc. are much more likely to give me that feeling than hiking, walking, or other less intense movement.
Yes, walking is good but not enough . Need to sweat.
if you hike up big elevation gain you'll get the endorphins from hiking for sure.
@@risamaeve Speed walking can also bring a rush, but cycling or running is better. Strength training is really where the rush is at though.
Agreed. Plus he definitely would benefit from weight training. You can see one of his feet is rotated when he walks, and that he has a really bad posture.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed the documentary and appreciated how they seemed to be levelled and realistic
I can confirm this, you might have to push yourself beyond your body’s limits to actually feel something that last more than 2 hours.
Strength training would have helped the man who just walked. It’s a completely different hormone response. The increase in lean muscle mass is what drives the improvement of all important bio markers. Great and informative video 🙌🏾👍🏾
Also did you see his neck on that treadmill? Get some posture my dude.
It helps some things, while cardio helps others. If you could only do one, there is a strong argument for weight training. But cardio, HIIT and isometric all have their utility. HIIT is great for mitochondria. Iso is great for resting heart rate. Cardio is great for the cardiovascular system, but is also great for the brain. Weight training is good for muscle, bone and skin.
@@MichaelBrown-wx6zq another reason to do proper strength training & corrective exercise. Good call
@@ChessMasterNate Respectfully. Your information is appreciated but you are misguided in your assumptions. If this man would have done 3 to 4 full body moderate intensity strength training sessions a week, his markers, appearance and function would have showed greater improvement. While all the benefits you sited are possible, they are ONLY valid under certain metabolic conditions, none of which this gentleman has (insulin sensitivity, adequate testosterone, and functional cortisol levels to name three of MANY). In a subject with pre-existing elevated cortisol levels, Low-T and overall hormonal inefficiency...ANY form of cardio especially HIIT will elicit diminishing returns. Why? Because HIIT will raise his already high cortisol levels. Why is high is cortisol counter productive? I'll let you answer that since you seem to be well researched ;). The one thing the man did right was to do steady state cardio, which does not raise cortisol levels as aggressively, but compared to the benefits of strength training, it still was not the best use of his time. Consistent studies do show that cortisol levels will increase even with steady state cardio about about 4 weeks. Strength training on the other hand promotes insulin sensitivity, improved microcirculation, increased testosterone and better posture. I have trained, coached and treated hundreds high level athletes for the last 35 years with great success. Again your contribution is appreciated but your logic is missing a few critical ingredients. If you show me some case histories that remotely support your claims, I'll be interested to see them. I have thousands to show you on my end. 👍
@@ChessMasterNateweight training is good for the brain too wtf, it isn't specific like that, you could literally repair your brain in a big way by simple resistance exercise and aminos
WOW your face looks notably so much younger....in 30 days, that's AMAZING! The visceral fat loss also incredible, people should take note and draw from this.
Yeah I bet for most people, the basics plus a little extra can make a drastic impact in their lives. I think a lot of people completely overdo it with the small things. Here's the basics plus a little extra that I am thinking of:
- minimal amount or no smoking, alcohol,...
- whole food, chewing well, taking your time
- good hydration
- some cardio
- some strength training
- stress reduction techniques
- actively trying to reduce stress
- staying lean
- staying flexible
- staying muscular
- wearing your seatbelt
- brushing your teeth
- getting to bed at ~10pm, same time every day
- getting enough high quality sleep
- continuously learning new things
- reducing social media, news, television, ads,...
- having goals, pursuing them and experiencing achievements
- being part of society and giving back
- being financially safe
- surrounding yourself with likeminded, loving, health-conscious people
- taking a minimal amount of supplements if advanced testing isn't available (being save first of all)
Good list, but I'd add some basic/inexpensive medical screenings in there as well. Our medical system is pretty good with early interventions for deadly diseases, but if left to advance beyond a certain point, it's pretty much a wrap. I'm thinking yearly derm checks for skin cancer, coronary calcium scan every decade or so, PSA, colon cancer screening (maybe earlier than insurance pays for), consideration of CT/MRI for tumor detection (based on weighing radiation risk vs family history and financial means), comprehensive blood testing every 2 years, etc.
Stress is a systematic problem. A lot of it results from the tyranny of the clock. We both need to do these things and create a system that facilitates them, so we're not trying to constantly struggle against the world's effect on our minds in the first place. We need to make a world that works with us and conversely. The individual and systemic are two sides of the same coin. Always. Another one would be making healthy foods and snacks common and plentiful on every corner while sugars are rare and in small bites. it doesn't even have to be an extreme change: making more of our candies like the Chinese-brand ones in China at least when I was there in 2016, would help. (Less sugar, just enough to make it a little sweet, but not enough that the sweetness becomes the primary characteristic. I _loved_ those treats.)
It is very hard to get the endorphines kick just by walking one hour... you need an intense workout. It's not that you are not wired this way, you are not doing enough
Exactly what I was thinking!
I'm not that fat as this man but I *hate* to exercise, I feel really sick when I do intense workout, with nausea etc. I just don't want to repeat it. Is a shitty feeling but I really don't enjoy workout at all
@@JP-xd6fm if you feel that bad is because you are doing too much too soon. It’s a process. Start slow but as days go by make your physical exercise a little bit more challenging. You should feel a bit tired, it’s enough if you are just starting. You can do it
Light (zone 2) workout daily ~30-60m, and 1-2 hard (zone 5) interval workouts (~10-20 mins in the zone per workout when adding up the intervals) per week.
@@JP-xd6fmI felt the exact same way when I exerted myself! I can do yoga, walk or lift light weights all day, but exertion makes me feel like I’m dying. Turns out I have exertion-induced histamine response/intolerance!! So I limit foods containing histamines (who knew?) and take a histamine-blocking supplement, and now have far less migraines and can mow my lawn without collapsing for hours afterwards.
The “metallic smell” is from thiols (in garlic). I was shuddering when I saw how much garlic was in the protocol. The thiols fight free radicals (and are also transformed into specific chemicals that depend on your gut bacteria). When you sweat them out, they are oxidized into chemicals that smell bad. Freshly cut garlic is particularly bad (HUGE difference when compared to processed garlic)
By the way, it builds up in your system.
… But the thiols are extremely effective at countering free radicals.
It's just one clove per day isn't it?
Interesting. I find cheap industrial garlic to have a strong metallic or chemical smell and flavor but organic garlic is delicious and I wouldn't call it's smell metallic at all just sharp and savory.
also because he ate meat and didn't needed the iron supplements
That explains alot
Or since he never exercised he could have been excreting metals in his sweat, probably aided by the chlorophyll and supplements.
about that endorphin rush when you exercise, I thought the same as you that I just never would get that feeling. However, you have to find the kind of movement that gets you there. If walking doesn't do it, try cycling, if that doesn't work, try swimming, just keep trying new things and you'll find something that gets you to push yourself in the right way.
I for one love that Bryan Johnson is using himself as a lab to find the variables of anti-aging. One of the things people often overlook in these plans, which are often more like perfection quests than sustainable lifestyles, is the role of hardship. Plain old, unbalanced, crappy hardship like having to walk too many miles, work too long or toil too hard in the fields, occasionally. Exercise mimics that, but not quite. My granpa, just like yours probably, smoked like a chimney and lived well into his 90s. He was also a fireman, dock administrator and a hunter for most of his life. Which is to say he worked his ass off and his life isn't what I'd call easy, but it was very meaningful to him.
I agree, and I’d argue that hardship is probably much better than working out in that it’s meaningful. When you toil in the fields, you do it all day, every day, and you do it for your family. When you carry weights in the gym, you do it for abs, and you’re so bored and just waiting to leave in an hour. You can’t convince me the mindset and the sheer volume of exercise doesn’t make a difference to your health. Back in the day, your work out *mattered*
@@TumblinWeeds Well said!
@TrumpNumberOneFan Sure, a lot of the advice is conventional, but the bulk of it is based on research he is conducting. For example, he is trying certain hormone treatments that I wouldn't want to be a guinea pig for, but if they work out for him, I'd be willing to try it in the future. Vanity? Maybe, but as long as he provides the data it doesn't affect us at all.
I wonder how much of the benefit was simply from not eating the standard junk food and getting some more exercise. Would be interesting to test just changing those things and see if the results are the same.
And on top of that I would add intermediate fasting or fasting 1 day for at least 24 hours.
already done that research. Super Size Me (2004)
From his own mouth, he thinks the biggest thing is sleep. If we took as seriously as other “healthy” habits, that would be huge
@@supersjaak123 intermittent =/= intermediate. Different words. Not trying to be a pest, but if you use them regularly, you should probably know to distinguish them. =)
you would think that this is easy for Bryan because he is wealthy but the vast majority of wealthy people would never do this . this is an excellent video.
yea, if anything the option to live a wealthy lifestyle makes it harder.
Yup, I’m always shocked to see billionaires with Elon Musk being out of shape like that. you could have the best personal trainer and chef, as well as the best doctors and dietitians monitoring everything in your body. Also you could have the best skincare experts and look 10-15 years younger than you are with the best products
@@nomadv7860That's gotta tell something about the lifestyle, mindset and expensive things Elon buys (and by extension the health life choices riches make). He could be a multimillionaire, but if he's what he shows on camera as a business man, he must be on stress a good amount of time. This may not be neccesarily the case, just some food for thought.
It's astounding how little most wealthy people care- about themselves and others. While Bryan is after long-term sustainability, they just want short growth boosts, even if it won't support. I always pondered why rich people didn't just quit and live in luxury- once you have enough for several centuries why not make the best of it? Its because they're never satisfied... They just want more
wealth has nothing to do with it, its all self-control which most people are lacking in this new age of electronic addiction
Man not just your look but you sound better, your attitude changed, you’re different personality before and after in positive way. Very impressive and inspiring video.
I think I speak for many of us when I say that we'd all love to see the data from which Bryan derived an "average 10 year olds" rate of aging on those 50 biomarkers and more importantly the sample size. overall it seems like a positive plan i hope it works and that they use what they find responsibly.
You can probably find it as his research is open source
I wasn't even aware 10 year old's aged any slower or faster than those at any other age to be honest.
If you'd love to see it then use Google to search for it, it's already out there
it's all public info, he has significant damage to almost every major organ in the body
@@Garywhitetrumphobgobbler Interesting, thanks. I suspected as much, at least there's no reason to think kids are ageing slowly in any case.
Dude! I'm so proud, happy, and excited for you. I'm currently 195lb from 220lb from watching UA-cam videos. I've cut out several terrible things in my diet. I stopped eating products, and focused more on food. Water is boring, but I believe that getting older doesn't mean that we have to be flabby and sick. We look and feel better in our clothes. We won't live forever, but why not be healthy before we do? Congratulations Sir!
what kind of things did you stop eating?
@@KTPDAILY I focused on sugar, and pasta. Not carbs. I toast every type of bread. Toasting bread cooks the gluten, which makes it easier for our bodies to digest. Rice after cooked and refrigerated becomes a natural probiotic. No more buying yogurt and crap. No ketchup, sugar. Slow boiled food. I take a shot of olive oil before bed, and alternate nights with a cap of apple cider vinegar. Not every night though. In moderation. Drink half of your body weight in water (oz.) and adjust to your tolerance. You'll be on your way. Just read labels. If it says way more than what you're buying. It's hurting you. Leave it. Honey, Stevia for sweetness. You have to move your body too. Nothing crazy. Get some hours of sleep, or at least rest for your brain. Have success and believe IN YOU. You don't need anyone to push you if you want it for you!
I've been thinking about this for a while now so really excited Freethink is making a video on it. Looks pretty interesting.

Coming from someone with massive weight loss experience, you can get very similar results by just cutting out the processed foods alone. Cut out processed food and stay in a calorie deficit. Walk a few miles a day. That’s it. Life changing stuff.
One benefit of fasting that you can't get on calorie deficit is autophagy I agree that you can get a lot of great results cutting out processed and non organic foods.
@@lauraschoen5860 I just think keeping it simple encourages people more to take that step. Being healthy doesn’t have to be hard or extreme!

The fact that is open source information is a BIG respect from me. He might not find the "youth recipe" but the data from his experiment will be VALUABLE as gold when people will use it to find information on how to slow the process of ageing even further.
how is the data useful if he’s doing so much? how do we know what’s actually working or how things are affecting each other? hard to get good data in this case i would think.
Yes, he could easily have sold this as yet another of those “wellness programs” from your trusted influencer. So many of them sell a workout or diet routine for hundreds of dollars a month, and it’s not even grounded in research. With how much traction this guy gets, I bet he could turn a profit despite his $2m a year spending-but he’s giving it away for free.
@@giuseppejones1554the earlier things are hard to tell except for being grounded in substantial research. But he’s also adding new things while controlling for everything else, and only keeping those that make a difference in his routine biomarker tests. So on 1 person at least that’s about as good of data as you can get.
Great job! The difference between what he looked like at the beginning and the end was astounding! And I think the endorphin rush he wanted would come if he actually tried to do something with his body his body was not fully prepared to do. Instead of just walking, maybe if he tried some squats, suicides or high intensity exercise he would find that he is "wired" that way too.
suicides? bro??

@@purvithnaidu7333suicides are a type of workout, i think it’s running back n forth up n down a hill
As I look at this, part of what I'm seeing is: "we aren't getting enough nutrition from the foods we eat." And I think part of why you'd have to take so many supplements going with Bryan's plan, is because of the foods we can't metabolize quite as efficiently.
Also, Food Theory did actually discuss the whole idea of what we can process, and found research that suggests the possibility that everyone in America is not getting enough of certain nutrients.
In the end, I think it would be worth looking into meals that involve more of those nutritious foods, without sacrificing taste.
Have to say, You both look exponentially younger and healthier. You can see it in your skin, your hair and definitely your body! Imagine what you could look and feel like in 6 months?? I just met Bryan this weekend in Palm Beach, and he is an incredible human with an incredible mission and purpose! BIGGEST FAN!
IF is a game changer. The first couple weeks is tough getting used to it. I normally do 16/8, 20/4, 23/1 for Intermitted Fasting. It gives your digestive track a break and you feel great not eating all the time.
I fast for 12-14 hrs and enjoy only eating 2 meals daily.

Why in the WORLD should I "not" be able to profit from all of MY investments & effort??
My grandfather lived to 104. He almost never exercised beyond walking a mile or so a day. He never took supplements, not one in his whole life. He didn't obsess over his diet, ate a variety of foods, but never too much. He was never overweight, never developed dementia. In spite of being a forensic pathologist and county coroner, he was always friendly, cheerful and loving.
Reading your comment I was about to ask you something when I’d finished reading but the last sentence answered it.
I’ve always thought happy people always seem so much healthier and look younger without doing anything excessive
I’ve seen people go to the gym and get shredded with a good body but always seem angry or miserable and as a result they look older and unhappy as if they feel they have to go to the gym for some reason. This guy Bryan looks sort of empty in his eyes like he’s not enjoying life, I saw another video of him doing yoga and he had to hold on to a table to get up like older people trying to steady themselves and he was younger than here maybe early 40s
Sounds like your grandfather was one of very few people in this world who was blessed with a unique genetic structure which allowed him to live for that long. Indeed, science has shown that people who live past 100 in most cases have a unique combination of genes.
Otherwise, he lived a completely normal life, like most people, but for some reason he ended up living 25 years longer than most. It's just luck.
@@TayWoode Im pretty sure he likes it
Reality is mostly based on math. Numbers determine everything. The majority represent the general. The minority numbers are not as relevant in the grand scheme of it all. My grandfather is 97 and energetic and talkative. He has a horrible diet and eats junk food. Just because he jumped off the bridge and survived doesn’t mean jumping off a bridge is a good idea if most people don’t survive the jump. Keyword “most”. Use some logic.
@@danielmata610 So you agree with me that Bryan Johnson's self-experiment and his claims mean nothing because he's just one person, not part of a large scientific study. Good to hear. I countered one anecdote with another.
You can’t reverse it but I think you can slow it down. But in the end we all just die. I saw a hilarious bumper sticker once. “eat right, exercise, die anyway”
We all die but do we really live? you got people that are 50 years old that have no mobility, and can barely walk. Or you can still be running in your 70s. Doesn't sound the same to me at all
Haha... Right. I just wish YT would stop putting videos about this guy in my feed. I dislike seeing his face. He can THINK he looks 18 all he wants but to me appears to have an unhealthy pallor.
And if he is SO healthy, why aren't his sclera brighter?
He will die in a specific time and day that was in his fate before he was even born..
@@helenaquin1797 Then stop clicking and commenting on them.
@@VHS_NEON Oh! I only just discovered how to dispense with undesirable videos in the feed.. Had hoped someone "out there" might have pointed it out but - no worries. Last time. (Yay!)
I love the last part of this video. I’m a female with a disease called lipoedema, I’m 33 and often times I feeel so much older because of this disease. I have to follow a strict diet for it not to get worse, exercise and eat very little to no carbs. Every time I go out with friends I feel pushed to drink alcohol and eat processed foods. They look at me weird if I don’t want to do the things they do, almost like I’m being in a higher moral position than them, when in reality, they don’t have any disease and they don’t know what is like to live with one that is so exhausting. Unfortunately I live in Latin America, where partying and being super social are the “normal” but I’m neither of those and I wish people here would take better care of their health.
In general it works better if you do not say simply no, but explain that you're on a special diet (for your disease). People in general want to belong to the group, so anyone standing out with healthy behaviour vs. them indulging might raise feelings in them if they're being 'bad', while you're being 'good'.
People in general can accept it much better when they understand why, or when you say it is a temporary thing for e.g. a competition or race.
@@Broodplank86good advice 👍🏻
I undrstand the struggle of being singled out, but the socialising and letting the hair down in (familiar or not) publuc would be something a big part (not the latino one) of the Word is absolutely losing. Peope are more loney than ever, so you got something going for your beautiful region.
What part of Latin America!??
Many thanks to the whole Freethink team.
I usually skip a few minutes or watch the videos at double or triple speed to get through them as quickly as possible.
I watched and enjoyed every second of it. Even the cat lifting exercise 🙂
And thanks to Bryan Johnson! You are great guys!
You should be proud of yourselves for being brave enough to take on the challenge of changing your standards so quickly to see how it feels!
Watching stuff at 2x 3x speed sounds pretty wild
how do you do 3x speed?? mine only goes up to 2x 🥹
@nataliesummerrrrr on a PC, I can set playback speed to a custom rate.
I can't believe how much better and healthier you look after only one month.
Keep going as close to that as you can😮
Thank you for doing this experiment. You guys look so amazing! Also, I better understand what Bryan is doing now, whereas before I thought he was kind of strange and a bit creepy. You got the message behind his project out there in a comprehensive way (for the health plebs- me). I applaud you.
Please make a 6 month or year update! Did you persist in any of the changes? How are you feeling?
16:16 “we also didn’t allow ourselves caffeine, alcohol or THC” 😂
That sentence was a rollercoaster
Caffeine (that is to say, green tea or coffee) (in moderation* actually have some pretty well-documented health benefits.
I had my gallbladder removed surgically and I had to change my diet and lifestyle dramatically. No more sugary drinks, only water and tea with no sugar. The only meat I ate was chicken, turkey (white meat) etc. and ONLY steamed with also steamed veggies. No frying on pan and as much as low saturated fat as possible. I didn't exercise - as he said in the video, it seems that my brain is not wired to receive pleasure from exercise but yes, you should exercise daily. My health physically and psychologically went from miserable to full of energy and I made huge positive choices and advancements in my life. I lost a ton of weight. Went from 120kg to 65kg. At the end of the day we are human, we make mistakes and I made mistake and slowly went back to unhealthy lifestyle which made me again miserable, depressed and lose my job. I'm restarting myself, I try to go back to everything, that made me feel better.
I applaud your efforts! I think the thing you were missing with the exercise is fun. I find weight lifting fun, especially when making progress over time, but you could try out rock climbing or any other full body sport. The key to getting the most of of a workout is enjoying it, you can't run all that fast if you're dragging your feet
to avoid dying always think for your safety
I agree, he made mistake with just walking, weight lighting is way, way more fun, especially, if he does not enjoy walking. and he would definately have more benegits
A lot of people just haven't experienced "fun workouts" before, and their bodies do become accustomed to a more sedentary state, so things like rock climbing or boxing are way less fun on the first try, because the discomfort of bodily strain is so high.
Good point for sure, but it can be a journey for some people to make exercise fun that takes some time.
Personally, I went from really fit and happy, to being terribly sick for a long time, and the reality is that working out isn't fun for me anymore. Of course, this isn't the end of that story.
@@theabactor9561 a really good point, it's a lot easier to say "just enjoy the workout" when I already do. Sorry to hear about your sickness, hope you're able to get back to a place where you can enjoy exercise again!
Thanks brother @@PopeyeTheVRMan
Research that is shared so selflessly is immensely appreciated
Thank you Brian for testing the possibilities the data outcome could be helpful to mankind
Discipline is freedom
I’ve been following Bryan blueprint for the past six months and I feel amazing, I’m in my 40’s but I feel like I’m in my teens now. This really works, thanks Bryan.
I have to ask, does it cost you anywhere near $2M a year?
@@tom7471I would think the vast vast majority of the 2 million is testing and machinery. I’d assume the food, supplements, and exercise could be done for roughly 2k a month. I eat the super veggie and it’s pretty affordable as a meal.
They mentioned in the video that the supplements cost $1000😮
Only sustainable for the 10%
@@vgersterYes, and some of those supplements can be obtained by some other foods directly
When you love every minute of your life the time it takes to buy food, cook it and clean up kind of interferes with the other things you want to be doing so this protocol is perfect. I did at one time think to myself "I wish there was a way to put all the nutrients I need in a capsule so I didn't have to spend so much time preparing food".
And here it pretty much is.
I can't afford the supplements but I can make a few changes in the food I eat to follow Bryan's protocol.
Oh just a side note - I grew up eating whole foods from my grandma, grandpa and dad's garden and rarely ate at a restaurant or processed food. So, when I moved out I was exceptionally busy taking the medical laboratory technologist course full time and working part-time. Every minute of my day was structured. This meant I spent almost no time preparing meals, due to my lack of knowledge and experience in the kitchen, the variety of meals was pretty limited. I basically had 7-8 meals to rotate, so for me, Bryan's protocol will be easy.
Thanks Bryan.
I want to see them in 6 months!! Guys, you better keep it up and inspire people!!!
It's here!!! Now I can finally go and try Blueprint myself lol Great work as usual Freethink/Nick, fantastic video.
Thanks Jason! Also - for those who are interested - make sure you subscribe to Jason's channel - he does great videos that cover startups and innovators. The Hard Reset team are fans! youtube.com/@jasoncarman?si=eelaxi5AyfOzv54d

I follow a ketogenic food programme. After 3 months I had full energy, clear mind, better sleep, and rid my dairy allergy. I reduced 20 kg ( about 45lb ) and dropped my diabetic medication. I’m a woman of 70 years.
Same. I then went full carnivore and felt even better.
Thank you for the information, I loved the format of the video and the fact that you continued above the 30 days. Bonus points for the voice !
Incredibly well-presented and to the point, it actually condensed Bryan's whole theory into a few simple parts that can inspire many people to give it a try.
Well done!
A lot of the vitamins in the blueprint last for 2-3 months. So mothly supplement cost is actually a lot cheaper than what is said in this video, just the initial cost is high.
Yes, you nailed it. The problem with modern culture is that there are too many choices, and when your choices are removed, then you might feel like it is "boring", but it is important to ignore your feelings and stick to facts and logic, which is almost impossible for most people today.
We act on feelings. Feelings make things salient. Pursue things that give us feelings and are in line with facts and logic. But feelings is what makes life wonderful.
I don't think I would enjoy living a life like this. If we would start being aware of what kinds of food we consume on a daily basis, eat healthier, exercise, consume herbs, and do occasional fasting it would achieve the same results in the end. The food quality has gone down alot over the years due to big corporations tampering with the ingredients and the feed they give the animals. Oh and cut out GMO foods, refined sugars, refined salts, and toxic oils such as canola oil, margarine oil, vegetable oils.
You did a great job on your UA-cam reel. I loved the hook and everything just tied together beautifully. Good job.
Thank you very much! Any other topics you want to see from us?
Do you happen to have his exact meals and pills he takes? on a PDF or website? Thank you!!@@freethink
would it be possible to make a video on face yoga? how effective face yoga is as it claims to remove facial fat, bring glow?
This is actually incredible. Those results were nothing short of amazing.

@@Walteralexander1the magic of starting off obese
@@simonmcintosh6565 that too
Really good video. Appreciate those who worked on it. Both people looked fitter by the end of the 30 days and the main person looked younger too.
Now if you add "emotional processing" and other forms of spiritual work on top of it you'll intensify the results even more. In simpler terms....."Feel your feelings and honor Love, Humility & Truth". Happy to see you take the leap and share your experience brother. God Bless :)
Ahaha. "Now lets also include the BS part"
@AndreyRubtsovRU there's considerable science behind the value of believing in a higher power. I'm not sure that I do, but I was emotionally healthier when I was a church goer.
Endorphins really kick in with intensity in a workout. Walking and even jogging won’t really give you that feeling you are looking for but try short bursts of running as fast as you can or lifting heavy weights to achieve the rush. Great vid!
Walking and jogging will do it. There just has to be some intensity, accompanied by an elevated heart rate and some sweating.
@@knbsd3876 Yes-all about getting the heart rate up!
I ruck and it works for me! ❤ @@knbsd3876
When I was younger I used to get “runner’s high” almost every time I ran. Now in my mid forties I rarely get it. Perhaps age plays a role, but one controllable factor is music.
Back then I would listen to very intense fast paced music. Nowadays I listen to podcasts while running which tend to keep me calm and chilled out. But if I put on intense dance music or similar, I usually get that high. Picking up the pace slightly does help, but it doesn’t take much.
Note, you can get adrenaline rushes even with a relatively low heart rate; I’m thinking of our responses to roller coasters or bungee jumping, etc. So I don’t think you actually need to get your heart rate up very high to achieve a runner’s high. It just needs to be “mentally intense” if that makes sense.
A lot of us ex drug addicts have replaced our drugs with exercise sometimes even addicted to exercising. The working out gives us the feel good chemicals we got used to with drugs.
well done. doing the blueprint for a 30 day period is a really meaningful observational data
Remarkable effort in doing the protocol and filming and editing it. Really well done.
the first time i heard about this i thought it was some eccentric millionaire but when he start talking i was in awe. This is so fascinating to me i have so much respect for what Bryan is doing the determination persistence and willing to share this for a reasonable price. I will look into it i am very intrigued. I wish i could afford to live like this not so much about aging but staying healthy and strong, Thank you 🙏
Yes, i believe his routine has anti aging effects, but those practices are hardly applicable to most people ... Problem is the vast amount of the population dont have the time and resources to keep up with it.
DO you want to be a fing weirdo doing these things? really ? even with money and time?
Would love to see the same experiment with a person already training, using generic supplements and overall decent diet.
I actually love the foods Bryan eats, I've not eaten animals since I was age 11 because of compassion and love for all animals and have been vegan for many years, I do take supplements but nowhere near as many, I exercise but not as much. I feel very well, l look much younger than my birthday, I'm not overweight, I have no health concerns generated by eating badly and I'm loving life, it's so refreshing to see people look after their health, Bryan receives hate and jealousy, I have been subjected to nasty comments because of my lifestyle which honestly makes me glad I live the way I do even more, people will always be nasty and negative if someone is different, well I say sod them, keep up the good work and fight against the tide of poor health and lack of compassion 💚
As a nursing student, I've seen many people who are bed ridden due to preventable diseases. These diseases are mainly caused by a couple things, addiction to eating high processed foods and lack of performative exercise. By consuming high processed foods, you consume addictive substances like maltodextrin, fructose, msg, dextose, sodium and artificial flavors (these make people consume more food than they need due to its addictive quality). When yoj consume high processed foods you also eat components of a whole food that are separated from eachother in order to inhance certain foods, thus making them more palatable and very easily consumed, making you eat mkre of it. For example, the soy bean, is separated into lecithin, oils and proteins. This takes away the nutritive components of the soy plants like its minerals and gives to the market free will over how much of each component they want to add to foods. Example, bread, nowadays, have soy lecithin, making them more soft, easily edible, thus making us eat more of it, but is also common that they can add maltodextrin too, this making it more addictive and making us over eat. This over eating creates insulin resistance, where the body can no longer store the high glucose from the blood in cells of the body, thus leading to type 2 diabetes. This over eating can cause plaque, leading to high blood pressure, then heart attack or stroke. Someone can get bed ridden by a stroke when you get paralysed on one side, they can start to have infections that don't heal due to the high amount of sugar in the blood due to diabetes. EAT WHOLE FOODS, COOK MORE, GROW YOUR FOOD. AVOID PROCESSED FOODS, YOUR BODY WILL LOVE IT. I lost 7 lbs from this mindset.
Performatuve exercise is also healthy for your body, not only to lool good but to train your body to deal with stress. When you are exercising and pushing yourself, your body reacts by secreting adrenaline. This causes you to have a higher heart rate and faster breathing, thus training and fortifying your body in times of stress. You end up finding joy in pushing through and sweating. You'll feel proud of what you can accomplish with your own body, making you want to do it more, then making you stronger. EXERCISE AND PUSH YOURSELF:)
This seems to be the message of every doctor out there that is striving to educate the public regarding the negative impact of processed foods, much of which never existed until the 20th century - hence the 'epidemic' proportions of those developing metabolic disorders, dysfunction and diseases which stem from it - especially if it triggers chronic inflammation. That's all due to how 'processing' denatures the food our bodies were genetically adapted to via evolution, relative to fiber, vitamins, minerals etc. vs. where they have to 'enrich' and 'supplement' in order to compensate... in short, 'Garbage-In, Garbage-Out'. The only reason we can cope with it is due to the body's ability to compensate, but at what cost? Likewise, once you lose your youthful vim and vigor, the body no longer cope's as it might when younger - that's a basic fact. Unless of course you're one of the 20% or so that might eat, smoke, drink whatever they like and still live to ripe old age. Otherwise, why would anyone in their right mind chose a life of medication and chronic disease for the taste and convenience?
Great video! I follow the blueprint nutrition plan and feel amazing, noticeably more energy, and a coworker did say that i was glowing (my skin) lol. Weight lifting has such great benefits, you should try to incorporate some of that into your lifestyle since, as we all age, we lose muscle mass. I can see how you think it's kinda boring, but i think the 3rd meal being your choice on what to make stops it from being boring.
The problem that I have with this study is that it doesn't matter what diet you get on.... if you're cutting grains, starches, and sugars out you're always going to improve in over-all health. I want to see somebody already on a healthy diet (whole foods, no starches, grains, and sugars) who is already exercising change their diet. This doesn't show that Blueprint works. It just confirms that any diet removing the the grains, starches, and sugars is better for anyone.
My gran smashed a chocolate daily and lived a long, healthy life.
you want to see somebody on a healthy diet who is already excercising? arent there thousands of youtubers who do that?
you think that cutting grains, starches and sugars will always improve over-all health?
also his approach to extending his life isnt "cutting grains starches and sugars"
The whole point is to improve health for the average person. The average person isn’t healthy.
Results for an already healthy person would either be minimal if anything, which isn’t as drastic or entertaining for UA-cam. But I admit I’m still curious too 😝
Wow thank you for this, and for hanging in there to bring us this helpful content!
There’s many versions of this video across creators. This is the best one, by far!
Exercise becomes so much more enjoyable when you do it regularly! Should’ve started lifting weights in addition to the walking.
I find the feeling at the end of a lifting session far more satisfying than a long walk. The dopamine and serotonin are flying around everywhere.
I think, to really understand if there is anything to this plan, it would be very interesting to compare the full plan to the impact of simply eating healthy and starting to exercise for a month. For example, would results have really been meaningfully better than someone just going from zero to 1 hour a day of exercise and eating healthy, but taking none of the $1,100 of monthly supplements?
Yes, this!
I also think that you can drastically reduce the supplement amount by adding animal products to the diet. Human bodies are not evolved to be herbivore, and trying to stay vegan does add an unnecessary complexity to the routine
I thought there would be an improvement but not such a shocking difference. Great job guys!!
The guy lost fat and started exercising. It wasn't the other stuff. Or at least, that is known to have such a massive effect that you can't draw any conclusions about blueprint.
@@LukeMosse Yeah I think it would be more useful to try it on someone who is relatively fit already and wants to take it to the next level. The way it's done here it's impossible to separate the benefits from the program and just the general exercise and less calories.
Its ALWAYS a shocking change for the first month or so, but after that it stops pretty abruptly. I lost a HEAP of weight and became significantly healthier when I started daily exercise and cutting out as much sugars and fat as I could maintain. No stupid supplements, no silly vegan rubbish. What we saw here was just typical initial benefits, but long term they waft away like a fart in a jacuzzi.
20lb in 30 days is huge man. Well done
would love to see someone that is already exercising consistently try this. Another good vid would be to see if there is a big difference in working out before vs after work
Great suggestion! We published an article about the best time for exercise in 2022. Here's a sneak peek: "Early exercisers may not be able to achieve peak performance. Stiffer muscles, fewer stored energy reserves from overnight fasting, and a slightly cooler body temperature in the morning add up to hamper exercise output. Therefore, more avid exercisers might prefer working out in the afternoon." Read the rest here: www.freethink.com/health/best-time-to-exercise TLDR; the best exercise is one that gets done. What time works best for you?
@@freethink I think the best exercise is before sunset, when sun intensity is not strong to damage skin cells, but get natural Vitamin D, and have room for body rest before sleep. Also, you have your big meal 2-3 hours before exercise, and small mill after exercise (if you want bigger gains)
hey bro i watched him and Jesse james west (who is a fit 23 year old) and it actually slowed Jesse's rate of aging
indeed, so much newbie gains...
How much of this is just the exercising and good diet vs. the special supplements? It would be interesting to test what would happen if someone did the blueprint supplements but didn't exercise. Anyone that exercises and. eats a basic good diet might see the same results so what makes blueprint special?
i am also doing this kind of mad passionate dedicated diet plan on a lower scale for three months.And many of my test biomarkers are back in green.If i had so much money to spend, i would have done it a bit differently.Rather than taking the supplements route for everything,i would have gone for extracts and foods from sources.
But still i appreciate the passion of Bryon to at least try and reverse something conceived impossible so far.
"If it were easy and cheap, everyone would be eating healthy".
When I was a student I had to learn to appreciate the value of what I could buy with the little money I had.
In order to make ends meet, I could spend €120 per month on food and drinks.
I learned quickly that any processed food cost(s) more than unprocessed ones. Hey presto: healthy = cheaper.
Same for drinks bought in the pub vs those bought in a supermarket. Invite friends, drink at home.
The healthier I ate, the more money I had left to pursue hobbies and sports, such as photography and rock climbing.
Being able to pursue them was and is a powerful motivation to me to eat healthy, and that's what made it easy for me.
What also helped was that my parents usually cooked at home. After they separated, each of them continued this habit.
If you did not grow up with such habits, then get some friends who have them and (relearn to) cook with them.
So, for the "easy" part: take a discerning look at your motivations, your wishes, and prioritize accordingly. Good luck!
I try to start a routine but I often end up back where I started. I feel physically better, then think "oh, im getting healthier and my muscles are hurting, ill just take a day off, its probably good for me" then that turns into 2 days and then I just lose momentum from there. Also, being in a family, there is always some birthday or something to celebrate, pizza, cake, that also puts me in a spiral down.
I hear u. But on a positive note i think those sort of failures can strengthen your future commitment. Like if you become gung ho about it again you'll think about how last time you fizzled out, and will adjust more to prevent it or power through. And maybe youll fizzle again but odds are you'll make it further. And so on. Its how i often am anyway. Some of my biggest achievements have happened like this, where after multiple failures you eventually reach a point of ok fk this im doing whatever it takes, and do.
I think this is where Bryan’s concept is strong, and they did a great job in the video discussing it. ‘Automatic’ habit based behavior makes this easy to avoid, no decision, no agony of missing out, and then giving in. It can also make room to deviate if you have been on the routine long enough, without losing momentum.
If you’re looking to start any new routine I highly highly recommend reading the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. When starting a new routine it’s important to take it easy at first and focus on consistency over quality before slowly ramping up the difficulty. If you’re in the swing of things and you’re just feeling crappy one day, it’s totally okay to scale back the difficulty and do an easier workload, the number one most important thing is to not stop the routine. If you do end up falling off the bandwagon don’t beat yourself up. Just lower the difficulty, start again, and then work back up to where you left off.
@@J0.Flowers I've actually read that book 😭
@@Retronize84 haha yep, reading wasn’t enough for me at first either. Employing those techniques is a habit in and of itself. Don’t focus on doing every single thing he recommends just follow the basics, don’t get too ambitious at the start but definitely make sure you start to challenge yourself after a while. Like I said earlier a crucial point is that it’s okay to scale back down once you’ve worked your way up, you have to slowly learn to treat yourself kindly and not try to berate yourself with negative self talk
this guy seems like a visionary. WE need entrepreneurs like him to push technology forward

From chatgpt: Spermidine is called spermidine because it was first discovered in semen. The compound was initially identified in human sperm, hence the name derived from "sperm". The suffix "-idine" is commonly used in chemistry to denote an organic compound containing nitrogen, specifically a type of polyamine. Polyamines like spermidine are vital for cellular functions, including cell growth and proliferation. The discovery of spermidine in sperm cells led to its naming, highlighting the biological context in which it was first found.
