Actionable Insights

1. Adopt Autonomous Self Diet

Put your body on “autopilot” by tracking everything, measuring, and letting an algorithm run your diet, as this system is superior to mind-driven eating for optimal health.

2. Follow Blueprint Health Protocol

For increasing health span and anti-aging, adopt Bryan Johnson’s published Blueprint protocol as a starting point, then measure your biomarkers and iterate based on your data.

3. Build Habit Systems for Routines

Integrate health protocols into daily routines as habits so they become automatic and are never a burden, making complex regimens sustainable.

4. Eliminate Processed Sugar Intake

Consume zero processed white sugar or cane sugar, as it provides no useful value for the body compared to natural sugars found in fruits like berries.

5. Implement Caloric Restriction

Adopt caloric restriction as a key longevity intervention due to its compelling evidence for extending health span.

6. Actively Prevent Hair Loss

Fight hair loss with a multi-pronged approach, including a custom minoxidil formulation, daily red light therapy cap for six minutes, PRF scalp injections (monthly/quarterly), and specific supplements.

7. Optimize NAD+ Levels

To increase intracellular NAD levels, use either NR or NMN supplements, measuring blood levels to titrate the dose and peg yourself at an 18-year-old biological mark.

8. Structured Daily Meal Routine

Follow a precise daily meal timing: wake up, drink a “Green Giant,” take 60 pills, work out for an hour, eat “Super Veggie,” wait an hour, eat “Nutty Pudding,” wait an hour, then eat a third meal.

9. Justify Every Calorie and Pill

Ensure every single calorie consumed and every pill taken serves a specific, measurable, and quantifiable objective in the body.

10. Consume Super Veggie Daily

Eat a daily meal called “Super Veggie” consisting of broccoli, cauliflower, black lentils, garlic, ginger, hemp seeds, extra virgin olive oil, and dark chocolate (undutched, heavy metal tested, high polyphenol count).

11. Consume Nutty Pudding Daily

Eat a daily meal called “Nutty Pudding” made from macadamia nuts, walnuts, flaxseed, sunflower lecithin, pomegranate juice, berries, and pea protein.

12. Consider Testosterone Supplementation

If on a caloric restriction diet, supplement with a testosterone patch to keep levels pegged in the normal range (between 600-800, aiming for around 850), not to exceed normal levels.

13. Shift Mindset from Grind to Play

View your life’s objectives as a game you’ve selected to play, rather than a grind to meet societal expectations or gain acceptance, fostering a sense of freedom and fun.

14. Prioritize Fulfillment Over Happiness

Seek a state of fulfillment characterized by stability, expansive consciousness, freedom, boldness, and aliveness, as this can lead to a deeper and more stable sense of well-being than transient happiness.

15. Think on Century Time Scales

When making decisions, consider their relevance and impact not just in the short term, but on a century’s time scale, aiming for actions that future generations would appreciate.
