Breakdown Bryan Johnson’s Anti-Aging Blueprint to Make it Mine

Who is Bryan Johnson?

One of the reasons why I started this blog is by observing Bryan Johnson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Johnson and what he does. He is a tech millionaire and biohacker in his late 40s, focusing on comprehensive lifestyle measures to reverse aging. With his exhaustive research and expertise, he offers valuable guidance on nutrition, fitness, sleep, stress management, and the use of cutting-edge technologies. This blueprint is primarily anchored in the principles of caloric restriction, consistent workouts, and sound sleep. Johnson’s mantra leans heavily on science and research, resulting in a blueprint that is as thorough as it gets. Yet, while its comprehensive nature is commendable, it might not address the unique requirements and situations of every individual.

Why Reference his Blueprint?

By comparing what I am doing to his blueprint, I found that we share a similar direction: consistent workouts, and sound sleep. Of course, he takes everything to the next level that I wouldn’t go so far. Just by looking at his results after a 2-year journey and mine, I definitely need to shake it up. Given the same time frame, and similar direction, but very different outcomes, there must be something important I missed.

Creating Rice’s Blueprint

So, I watched Bryan Johnson’s YouTube and observed other YouTubers who followed his blueprint for a month or 90 days, and the results look very positive, especially in fat loss. However, none of these YouTubers who tried his blueprint could sustain it after the challenge period ended, and they all said they would modify some part of it and make their own blueprint. To religiously follow other people’s plans is painful, just like a tailored suit fits better than a one-size-fits-all. The approach to aging is profoundly personal, influenced by different ethnic backgrounds, gender, genetic composition, and lifestyle, all of which influence how we age. As such, the path to longevity and grace is not a universal highway but rather a maze of alleys unique to every individual.

So, I decided to create my own blueprint for my own maze, taking Bryan Johnson’s blueprint as a guideline.

Things I can improve are marked in red, and things I can do nothing about, like investing in a high-tech skincare device at home, I just skip.

Phase 1 Execution Plan

As Bryan Johnson said, taking baby steps, I decided to focus on counting calorie intake and doing a 1-hour workout every day for a month and see how it goes.

Workout

Working out is not that hard for me, as I am already addicted to dopamine. I can replace some of his workouts with cardio and yoga classes I have already taken, but I should include more walking and weight training for my shoulders.

Calorie Intake

My diet, heavily influenced by my Asian heritage, incorporates a rich variety of traditional foods lauded for their anti-aging benefits. So, what I need to do is stick to whole foods (eat cleaner) and restrict the total calories to within 2000.

Incorporating Bryan Johnson’s principles and tailoring them to my unique path, I will take 30 days to see how my phase 1 goes, stay tuned to see if my blueprint works for me.
