Thrilled to welcome Talmage Johnson today on Live Well Be Well! After interviewing his father Bryan Johnson two years ago, I'm finally sitting down with the younger half of this pioneering health duo to discuss his journey with Blueprint – the revolutionary health protocol that's challenging how we approach longevity.
At just 19 years old, Talmage offers a refreshingly thoughtful perspective on health optimisation. Talmage shares how his version of Blueprint focuses primarily on the foundational pillars of sleep, nutrition, and exercise. We dive deep into his daily routine – from his 4-6 hour eating window and plant-based diet to his disciplined sleep schedule and comprehensive fitness regimen.
Talmage speaks candidly about balancing extreme discipline with enjoying life, his relationship with data tracking, and his unique perspective on relationships at his age. His insight into cultivating health habits at such a young age provides valuable wisdom for listeners of all generations.
About Talmage Johnson:
Talmage Johnson is a health advocate and entrepreneur who began following the Blueprint protocol at age 16. Now at 19, he works with his father Bryan Johnson at their health company while taking a gap year from university. He shares his health journey publicly, participating in what he calls "compounding health" - making a long-term investment in his future self through disciplined health practices.
