Mindsip insights from this episode:
Establish a strict 4 a.m. routine for optimal health
The daily protocol starts at 4 a.m. with an hour for the Blueprint regimen and pills, followed by a 1.5-hour workout at 5 a.m.
Overcome fear of judgment to advocate for Blueprint
Despite Blueprint saving his life, he refuses to give advice or advocate for it because he is 'poisoned by the expectation of others.'.
Verify supplement effects with data-driven testing
Brian serves as a 'test dummy,' using before-and-after blood tests to verify that individual supplements like vitamin K have a measurable effect.
Join clean food movement for transparency in nutrition
The 'don't die' movement is heading towards a future spearheaded by Brian to create a system for clean food and supplements, so we know exactly what we're getting.
Challenge societal norms by rejecting imposed traditions
Family traditions, birthdays, and holidays are rejected because no one should 'stamp a holiday and tell me how to act.'.
Reverse cognitive decline with Blueprint protocol
The motivation to start Blueprint was a terrifying experience of cognitive decline where writing became 'gibberish,' and the protocol brought instant progress.
Maximize days off with physical activity for better mental state
Days off, like Sundays when the gym is closed, are described as 'miserable' because the lack of physical exertion disrupts the optimal state of mind.
