Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize at-home microplastics test to reduce exposure
Blueprint is releasing the world's first at-home microplastics test and plans to build the largest dataset to discover how to lower levels.
Utilize specific peptides like Cerebrolysin for longevity
Bryan Johnson is currently injecting 5 ML of Cerebrolysin daily and has previously completed courses of the peptides Thymosin and Epitalon.
Choose tested olive oil and protein for safety beyond organic standards
Blueprint's olive oil and protein are tested for over 69 pesticides and other contaminants because organic certification doesn't cover their extensive testing requirements.
Recognize fasting may not benefit everyone
A three-day fast did not change Bryan Johnson's speed of aging, suggesting his body is already in a maxed-out fasted state from daily caloric restriction.
Define happiness as desire to live each day
Happiness is defined as the ability to want to live tomorrow, and for tomorrow to arrive and still feel like you want to live one more day.
Detach from thoughts to navigate existential crises with humor
To handle an existential crisis, recognize that you are not your thoughts and learn to watch them with comedy, dismissing most as gibberish.
Use filtered water in humidifiers to ensure safe air quality
Using tap water in a bedroom humidifier triggered a toxic air quality alert, while using filtered water in the same device did not.
Consider total plasma exchange for detox and anti-aging
Bryan Johnson recently underwent a total plasma exchange, removing all three liters of plasma from his body as an experimental therapy to reduce toxins and slow aging.
