In this episode, The Gstaad Guy sits down with tech entrepreneur and human optimisation pioneer Bryan Johnson to explore the ideas, trade-offs, and motivations behind Blueprint, his controversial and cutting-edge protocol to reverse ageing and extend biological youth.
The conversation unpacks the science of longevity, the measurable impact of sleep, nutrition, and cellular regeneration, and how our perception of health is being completely redefined by technology. Bryan speaks openly about the sacrifices behind his routine, the psychology of motivation, and the role of superintelligence in reshaping not just what we do, but who we are.
