Blueprint: A Holistic Approach to Health and Longevity
Blueprint is a comprehensive health and wellness program that aims to provide answers to basic health questions. It emphasizes evidence-based protocols and extensive self-measurement to optimize health and wellbeing. By analyzing scientific literature and personal data, Blueprint determines the most effective protocols for individuals. The program focuses on maximizing sleep quality, improving diet, and adopting a healthy lifestyle. Thousands of people have embraced Blueprint, experiencing positive effects on sleep, cardiovascular health, and sexual function. Additionally, cutting-edge interventions like gene therapy, plasma infusions, and stem cell treatments are explored to enhance rejuvenation and slow down the aging process.
The Power of Sleep for Optimal Health and Wellbeing
One of the key aspects emphasized by Blueprint is the importance of prioritizing quality sleep. Sleep is highlighted as the most powerful factor in improving overall health and lifespan. By implementing strategies such as consistent bedtimes, winding down before sleep, and creating a sleep-friendly environment free of light and distractions, individuals can significantly enhance sleep quality and duration. Adequate sleep is linked to improvements in cognitive function, cardiovascular health, and emotional well-being. Blueprint highlights that optimizing sleep is within everyone's reach and can have a transformative impact on health and life satisfaction.
Cutting-Edge Interventions and Techniques for Longevity
Blueprint explores novel interventions and techniques that hold promise for promoting longevity and healthy aging. Some of these interventions include gene therapy, such as full estate gene therapy, which has shown to slow down the aging process. Additionally, treatments like plasma infusions and mesenchymal stem cell therapies are examined for their potential rejuvenation effects. These approaches leverage the latest scientific advancements to enhance key biomarkers, improve overall health, and potentially extend lifespan. Blueprint aims to provide accessible, evidence-based options for individuals to proactively manage their health and aging process.
The Vision of Blueprint for Humanity

Bryan Johnson:
Bryan Johnson is the world's most measured human. Johnson sold his company, Braintree Venmo, to PayPal for $800m in 2013. Through his Project Blueprint, Johnson has achieved metabolic health equal to the top 1.5% of 18 year olds, inflammation 66% lower than the average 10 year old, and reduced his speed of aging by the equivalent of 31 years. Johnson freely shares his protocols and data publicly for everyone to use. Project Blueprint, is an endeavor to achieve humanity and earth scale cooperation starting within Self. In 2023, Johnson launched Rejuvenation Olympics, a leaderboard assessing one's speed of aging using DNA methylation. Of the 1,750 people who have been using this state-of-the-art aging algorithm to track their progress longitudinally, Johnson ranks #1 in speed of age reduction.
Johnson is also the founder & CEO of Kernel, creator of the world’s first mainstream non-invasive neuroimaging system; and OS Fund, where he invested $100M in the predictable engineering of atoms, molecules, and organisms into companies now collectively valued over $6B. He is an outdoor adventure enthusiast, pilot, and author of children’s books, Code 7 and The Proto Project.
