🧪 WHO AM I?
Hi Friends - I am the world’s most measured human. At 46, my cardiovascular fitness ranks in the top 1.5% of 18 year olds; I celebrate my birthday every 19 months because we’ve dramatically slowed my speed of aging, and in 2023I achieved the world’s best recorded sleep score, 8 months of 100% perfect sleep.

This is remarkable because previously, my health was in a pretty bad place.

In 2020, I started Project Blueprint to help you achieve similar results. I share everything I do and learn for free, so you can access the best health science available.

Project Blueprint and Don’t Die celebrate that we, humanity, are evolving into something new. Join me on this journey.

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Prioritize aesthetics to enhance public perception of health

Despite achieving stunning internal health biomarkers, the public's negative perception of his gaunt face forced a shift in focus to improving aesthetics.

Implement aggressive Sculptra protocol for collagen rebuilding

To rebuild collagen, he uses two vials of the biostimulator Sculptra every six months, which is more than the company's recommended dose of one vial per year.

Beware of allergic reactions to donor fat transfer products

He experienced a severe allergic reaction to Renuva, a donor fat transfer product, which caused extreme facial swelling and forced him to discontinue the therapy.

Preserve collagen to combat age-related loss

Starting in your 20s, you lose 1% of your collagen every year, resulting in a 75% loss by the time you are 80 years old.

Increase daily calories to enhance facial volume without sacrificing longevity

Increasing daily calories from 1,950 to 2,250 allowed him to gain 15 pounds and improve facial volume without negatively impacting his longevity biomarkers.

Adjust lutein intake to prevent skin discoloration

He reduced his lutein intake from 20mg to 15mg because the high dose was turning his skin yellow, leading people to mistakenly think he had liver failure.

Avoid under-eye fillers; choose PRF for safety

He strongly recommends not using fillers under the eyes as they can migrate and become a 'nightmare,' suggesting under-eye PRF as a safer alternative.
