Everyone thought Bryan Johnson was insane...

When they heard he spends $2,000,000 a year to live to 200.

But the details of his protocol reveal 8 life-changing habits anyone can follow at home for free.

Here's his evidence-based longevity blueprint: 🧵 

@bryan_johnson In a recent video, @bryan_johnson said:

"I now have the best biomarkers of anybody in the world. I am the healthiest person on planet Earth."

His body temperature has dropped 5°F from metabolic improvements.

His sleep quality tops 99.9% of people measured. 

Bryan's reduced his biological age by 5.1 years in just 7 months.

Tests show his cells are aging more slowly than 92% of 18-year-olds.

At 46, his body functions like someone in their 20s.

Here're 8 habits you can learn from his $2M protocol: 

1. Sleep.

Sleep is Bryan's #1 life priority.

Asleep by 8:30pm and naturally wakes at 5:00am without an alarm.

His sleep is so good he set a record: 8 months of perfect sleep scores with 2 hours of REM and 2 hours of deep sleep nightly.

Here's how: 

1. No screens after 7:30pm.
2. His bedroom stays completely dark and cold.
3. He stops drinking liquids at 4:00pm to avoid bathroom trips.

These 3 changes alone improved his sleep score by 28% in 2 weeks.

This clip below gives you an even more comprehensive breakdown: ↓ 

2. Morning light

First thing after waking, Bryan gets 10,000 lux light directly into his eyes for 3–4 minutes.

He uses a special light device in winter, but natural sunlight works too.

This morning light fixes his body clock and cuts his nighttime heart rate by 6 beats/minute. 

3. Daily body measurements

Bryan tracks his health obsessively every morning:

• Inner ear temperature (his dropped 5°F from metabolic improvements)
• Body composition (fat, muscle, hydration)
• Arterial stiffness

Simple smart scales can track most of these for under $100. 

4. Workout strategy

Bryan exercises 60-90 minutes daily, 7 days a week.

His workout includes:

• 15 minutes flexibility
• 15 minutes balance work
• 30 minutes cardio (walking, biking)
• 30 minutes strength (bodyweight + resistance bands)

On weekends, he adds pickleball and rock climbing with friends. 

5. Targeted supplements

Bryan takes 104 pills daily (ridiculous for most people).

But just 3 supplements give 80% of the benefits:

• NMN powder (1 gram daily)
• Resveratrol (1 gram with fat)
• Magnesium (400mg before sleep)

He also takes a Blueprint Longevity mix with collagen peptides and creatine. 

6. Workday movement breaks

Every 30 minutes, Bryan takes a 5-minute movement break.

He rotates between standing and sitting desk.

These mini-breaks keep blood flowing, body loose, and mind sharp.

He says this habit alone boosted his work output by 34% in 3 months. 

7. Exact food protocol

Bryan eats exactly 2,250 calories daily:

• 25% protein (141g)
• 35% carbs (197g)
• 40% fat (100g)

"Super Veggie" lunch: lentils, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger.

His meals are plant-based by choice, not necessity for longevity. 

8. Wind-down routine

Bryan's nighttime routine has one goal: lower his resting heart rate.

He turns off all screens and at 7:00pm he takes a 10-minute outdoor walk.

He reads physical books and does 5-minute breathing exercises to calm his nervous system. 

Want to hear directly from Bryan himself?

He's speaking at the @SynBioBeta Hyperscale Biology conference on May 5-8, 2025 at the San Jose Convention Center.

He'll share his latest protocols and the science behind his results.

Plus, you'll learn exactly how he's tracking his 78 organs for biological age.

He'll appear alongside NASA astronaut Kate Rubins and Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott.
