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.

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.'.
