Don’t die. That’s 46-year-old Bryan Johnson’s main goal in life.
Bryan made $400 million when he sold his credit card processing company to eBay. Today, he lives in Los Angeles as a self-proclaimed “rejuvenation athlete” — and spends his time and money trying to turn back the clock.
I had such a great time talking with him. He even shared steps regular folks like us can take to feel better and, hopefully, have longer, healthier lives.
Bryan’s mission combines hard science with a unique philosophy. Everything he’s researched points towards a near-future evolutionary breakthrough.
“After 4.5 billion years on this planet, we are now baby steps away from superintelligence. It’s possible that with this super intelligence, we will be able to solve aging.”
Bryan says he built a better algorithm to take care of himself and he’s patient zero for this new leg of human evolution. “I’m going to change the structure of who I am as a human. Instead of my mind deciding to eat whatever it wants when it wants, I’m going to empower my body’s organs to be in charge.”
Bryan and the Blueprint team found that stem cells are one of the most cutting-edge treatments. In March, he’ll undergo the world’s first total joint rejuvenation procedure through a partnership with a Swedish company.
“We’re trying to basically say, can we get my joints back to age 18? It’s a pretty ambitious goal, it’s probably not reachable at this point in time, but we’re curious to pose the question, why not?”
Bryan’s daily regimen is what he calls “the most scientifically accurate approach on how to build out longevity and healthspan.” Spoiler alert: It’s intense.
“I do about 100 things in a given day and I try to make them invisible to me. I try to make it just part of my norm.”

Would you want to know if you could find out when you’ll die? I know. It’s grim. While online quizzes aren’t exactly 100% accurate, results can be super interesting. Harvard now has a quiz you can take that predicts how long you have to live.
Smartphones are expensive. That’s why it’s so important to buy a case to protect its screen from cracks, its components from water and its body from falls.
But which case is best for your lifestyle?
Have you ever wondered how long you’ll live? The question of your mortality is bound to come up at some point or another — it’s just part of being human.

Many factors go into determining the value of a home. Location, square footage, the age and condition of the house, and neighborhood “comps” to name a few.
