FRONTIER OF HUMAN ASPIRATIONS

On the surface, Blueprint may seem something about health, wellness and aging. It's really a system to make tomorrow better for you, me, the planet and our shared future with AI.

Blueprint was born after feeling helpless to stop myself from overeating to soothe the pains of life. Despite my successes: raising three kids and selling my business Braintree Venmo for $800 million; when 7pm rolled around, there was nothing I could do to stop myself from engaging in this self destructive behavior.

I had a Goal Alignment problem within Self. Evening Bryan was causing chaos, disrupting sleep, and ruining life for all other Bryans. Playfully, one day, I revoked Evening Bryan's decision making authority to eat food.

Now, my body's 70+ organs speak for themselves, through hundreds of measurements (blood, saliva, stool, fitness tests, and imaging), communicating what they need to be optimal. Freeing myself from the moment to moment chaos of my mind has been the most liberating experience of my life.

Now, I feel happier, more alive and fulfilled than any time of my life. I am nicer to those around me, no longer irritable and my mind is clear. It made me wonder: instead of pointing at others and demanding change, could the societal and planetary change we desire start by changing ourselves from within? Weirdly, could the future of being human start by eating our vegetables and stopping self destructive behaviors?

We all feel it: things aren't quite right in the world. What's our plan? Blueprint is the baby step in that direction.

SLOW HOW FAST YOU AGE

My rate of aging is .76 based upon a state of the art epigenetic clock DunedinPACE. For every 365 days, I age 277 days. Netting me Oct, Nov and Dec for free, lol. A rate of aging slightly above 1 can increase risk of death by 56% in the next 7 years and increase risk of a chronic disease diagnosis by 54% over the next 7 years.

KNOW YOUR BIOLOGICAL AGE

Last year I reduced my epigenetic age by 5.1 yrs in 7 months. That’s .73 years of age reversal, per month, using a multi-epi-clock average[1].

[1] Epigenetic based tests are currently silver standard to gold standard phenotypic aging markers; as it is not proven that reversing epigenetic age clocks improves clinical outcomes, whereas reversing phenotypic markers do.

Blueprint Principles

For thousands of years, the human experience has been roughly the same. Things are about to change, and radically. Blueprint is about riding the torrid waves of technological and scientific progress into the future.

Principle 1: Self destructive behavior is kinda insane
Principle 2: Empower your body to speak for itself
Principle 3: The aspirations we need are beyond our imagination
Principle 4: Look in the darkness to avoid being blinded by the light

Principle 1: self destructive behavior is kinda insane

Isn’t it weird that we committ the same self destructive behaviors hundreds or even thousands of times in a lifetime? Even when we know they shorten our life, accelerate disease and aging, cloud our judgement and make us feel miserable.

Maybe this behavior is a ilttle embarrassing as the self proclaimed most intelligent species on this planet?

What if we didn’t commit self harm? What if it wasn’t normalized and gleefully blessed and encouraged by society?

If you’d like to stop this insanity...:identify the worst version of yourself. For me, it was 7pm Bryan who would eat everything in sight to try and momentarily escape life pain. He is a monster, overpowering, and indifferent about all other Bryans needs. A sweet talker and expert rationalizer. 7pm Bryan ruins life quality for all other Bryans:

awful sleep
overweight
poor health
accelerated aging & disease
turbulent emotions
depressing life outlook

The solution: revoking 7pm Bryan’s authority to eat food.

Now your turn:

Step 1: identify your 20% rascal..
Step 2: list what decisions they are and are not authorized to make
Step 3: wait for them to appear
Step 4: approve or deny their requests using step 2 list
Step 5: celebrate happy you for stopping self harm.

Believe it or not, this is your most consequential and powerful life intervention.

Principle #2: Empower your body to speak for itself

What and when I eat is decided by asking my heart, liver, lungs and my other 70+ organs what they need to be optimal. This is done by doing hundreds of organ measurements on a regular basis and then carefully analyzing gold standard scientific evidence.

My mind is demoted, Self is elevated.

Allowing our minds to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants, and offering any explanation it wants is a bedrock of our reality. So firmly rooted that it’s beyond most of our imaginations that it would be checked by any other system of decision making.

Blueprint takes better care of me than I was ever able. It will for you too.

Principle #3: The aspirations we need are beyond our imaginations

It would have been hard to predict the books that would be written with the introduction of the printing press; or what the internet would enable. The same principle applies to what the human race can become when paired with the torrid wave of technological and scientific progress. We can take baby steps as we work on stretching our imaginations:

Week 1: drink the Green Giant (GG) daily.
Week 2: GG + Super Veggie (SV) daily.
Week 3: GG + SV + Nutty Pudding (NP) daily.
Week 4: GG + SV + NP + supplements daily.

Principle 4: Look in the Darkness to avoid being blinded by the light

A person is looking for their keys under a street light. Someone walks by and inquires, “Are you certain you lost your keys here?”

“No” the they reply, “I lost them across the street.”

Confused, the stranger says, “Then why are you looking here?”

They responded, “The light is much brighter here!”

Common reactions to Blueprint:

Bryan, you are surely miserable
It would be hilarious if Bryan got hit by a bus, lol
I’d rather die than eat veggies, berries and nuts
This is dystopic
I wish u knew my joy of pizza + donuts

Or, maybe is it?

I have no control over myself and feel powerless to change
Changing feels impossible
I am scared of being left behind
I’m addicted to self sabotage
Without unlimited choice to do whatever I want, existence doesn’t make sense to me

I hear you. I’ve been there. Felt and thought all these things.

We all know this: no one wants to be sick, diseased and sad. We all want exceptional health and vibrancy.
