Episode notes

Today, we’re unlocking the full potential of your brain—starting with Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint for longevity and brain optimization.

We’re revisiting our conversation with Bryan, the creator of the Don’t Die movement (among many other things), to explore how his groundbreaking approach to brain health and biohacking is reshaping the future of longevity.

First, we dive into Bryan’s mission to make brain monitoring as easy as tracking blood glucose, using his Blueprint protocol to measure and optimize cognitive performance for better health and wellness.

Then, we tackle the deeper side of biohacking—longevity, societal reactions to living longer, and how to handle critics when you’re pushing the limits of human potential.

Finally, Bryan shares his personal journey—investing $80M into brain science, building the Blueprint for optimal living, and discovering the power of community and lifelong friendships for a long, vibrant life. This episode will change the way you think about brain health and the future of humanity.
