Mindsip insights from this episode:
Simplify Blueprint protocol with coffee, EVOO, collagen, and macadamia nut milk
A less intense version of the Blueprint protocol can include a daily drink of coffee, EVOO, collagen, and macadamia nut milk.
Challenge righteousness to enhance creative thinking
Being too 'righteous' about what is ethically right or wrong can blind you from being able to think freely and creatively about how to handle a situation.
Explore bizarre health experiment of total blood removal
One of the most bizarre health experiments witnessed is Brian having all the blood plasma removed from his body for a procedure.
Focus on survival to drive true motivation
Brian Johnson's primary motivation is not vanity; he uses every free moment to obsessively think about how to help the human species survive.
Leverage viral hate as a sign of engagement
When Blueprint first went viral and received a 'torrential' amount of hate, the founders were excited because it meant people were finally paying attention to their work.
Prioritize yourself to overcome self-sabotage for psychological growth
The biggest benefit from Blueprint is the psychological process of learning to prioritize yourself and overcome daily self-sabotage, more so than the physical changes.
Reject physical decline; prioritize internal health over aesthetics
While you can 'age gracefully' aesthetically, you should not accept the physical pain and functional decline of aging in your internal body.
Restrict fast food to promote healthier choices
It is ridiculous that society allows fast food meals with over a thousand calories and then expects individuals to have the willpower not to choose them.
Transform health journey into a public science experiment
The Blueprint project was initially pitched as a way to make Brian's health journey a public science experiment, almost like live-streaming his internal health.
