Society was built to make money. Indifferent to your health and sanity. For example, we did not evolve to: + sit 10 hours a day + have our attention fractured 300 times daily + compare ourselves to millions of others + travel 9 time zones in 13 hours + tolerate sounds above 85 dB causing hearing loss + outsmart algorithms hijacking our reward system + breathe fine particulate air pollution + live under 16+ hrs of artificial light a day + have 3 courses of antibiotics before age 2 + eat ultra-processed foods for 60% of daily calories + consume 17 teaspoons of added sugar a day So if you're feeling down in the dumps, maybe fatigued, a little or a lot depressed, anxious, that's why.

I’m going to try and achieve immortality by 2039. One year of time passes and I remain the same biological age. I invite you to join me. The search for the fountain of youth is the oldest story ever told. It’s been the dream of dreamers for millennia but always painfully out of reach. For the first time in the history of life on earth, in just the past 24 months, the window has opened for a conscious being to realistically strive for this goal. It is an absolutely insane moment. We currently do not know how 2039 immortality will be achieved. There are new, promising therapies that can turn back the clock decades, but they’re buggy. Sometimes they mistakenly cause cancer. We gotta fix that. But we know immortality is possible because nature has already solved it. This isn’t a physics problem like trying to travel faster than the speed of light, it’s a biological engineering problem that evolution has cracked multiple times. The freshwater hydra constantly regenerates its own cells and doesn’t succumb to senescence. It is effectively ageless. The "immortal jellyfish" (Turritopsis dohrnii) can revert its cells back to a youthful state and restart its life cycle indefinitely. Lobsters produce an especially active form of an enzyme called telomerase that preserves their telomeres and keeps their DNA from degrading as they age. We need to port the software to humans. 2039 is a reasonable target because of the accelerated, AI-driven rate of innovation. AI is morphing from assistant to scientist.  It is powering current researchers with previously unimagined capabilities to enhance discovery and development. That, coupled with enhanced biomarker measurement, creates a closed-loop system of improvement that will speed things up dramatically. This is what I’ve been doing for six years. As crude as longevity technology is today, the improvements I’ve personally seen are stunning. I started as a worn-down, inflamed, aged 42 year old who’d broken himself on the rocks of American food slop and entrepreneurship martyrdom. Six years later, my body largely operates at elite 18 year old levels. That includes my cardiovascular system, fertility, strength, and hormones. Not all is well though. I have mild to moderate hearing loss in my left ear that we can’t fix and my brain is anatomically age 42 (I’m 48). Still, unreal results. My team and I did this by following the scientific method. We measured the biological age of every organ. We referenced the best scientific evidence on how to slow aging and rejuvenate.  We methodically completed these protocols and measured again. Rinse and repeat. We could do so much more and faster if we had better measurement and better therapies. Both of which are cooking all over the world right now. To speed things up now, I’m currently having thousands of Bryan Johnson organ clones built in a dish. This will allow me to test drugs and other molecules against my biology to accelerate learning and save my body from potential mishaps. Yes, we’ll make mistakes. Hopefully they won’t be fatal. And of course there’s always bad luck to contend with. But I trust in fate and I believe that destiny is going to grant the human race the pleasure of achieving the ultimate: immortality. While immortality would certainly be cool, the real (secret) objective is to focus our collective attention on a positive goal. Something that helps us feel hope and excitement for the future. I personally love the idea of having a child-like mind, 18-year-old physical vibrancy, and a lifetime of wisdom. This 2039 goal is as much about AI as it is about us humans. It’s about how we survive giving birth to superintelligence. It’s kind of a big deal. We haven’t done it before. A lot can go wrong. I figure that one of the best ways to improve the probability that we build safe AI, and don’t kill each other in the meantime, is to transform our shared aspirations from yolo to don’t die. Right now, we are a suicidal species. We do all kinds of really primitive shit. We unnecessarily kill ourselves with what we eat and how we live our lives. Companies make profits from killing other people with their products. We trash the only home we have. We celebrate these things as virtue.  It’s really fucked up and backward. Soon enough we’ll realize just how infantile we are right now. The 2039 goal points us in the right direction. To say yes to life and no to death. Defiance even. If you’re interested in doing this with me, I’ll continue to share everything I do for free. I’m also going to build this out in Blueprint. We’ll help you do exactly what I’m doing, at a fraction of the cost and effort, alongside an aligned and motivated community. I think this is the coolest goal imaginable. I find it hard to believe that of all the people who’ve lived, it’s us who get the opportunity to have this moment. I pray that we have the courage to appreciate the sacredness of our existence. I pray that we will be brave enough to defend her amidst the onslaught of all the forces that would try to end her. We don’t know, but we may be the only intelligent life to exist in our corner of the galaxy. I pray we will be warriors, caretakers and stewards of existence and honor the gift that has been bestowed on us.

Sauna is one of the most effective health protocols I've done. Here is everything I've learned; it's the most robust characterization ever produced. Results: 1) Fifteen sessions of sauna dramatically reduced environmental toxins in my body: + 65% drop in 2,4-D + 100% drop in MEP + 15% drop in MBP + 100% drop in MEHP (undetectable post sauna) + 56% drop in NAPR + 56% drop in HEMA + 100% drop in Perchlorate (undetectable post sauna) 2. Sauna eliminated 85% of microplastics from my ejaculate. Nov 2024: 165 particles/mL July 2025: 20 particles/mL Nearly identical drop in my blood same time period: Oct 2024: 70 particles/mL May 2025: 10 particles/mL 3. Sauna, without ice on the boys, devastated my fertility markers. Total Motile Count: –56% Concentration: –30% Motility: –50% Morphology: –48% Count: –9% 4. Sauna coincided with my fertility markers being at an all-time high. I have more total and motile sperm than 99.6% of men of any age, including men under 25. + total count: 600 M + concentration: 162 M + motility: 55% + total motile count: 330M + morphology (normal): 10% We do not know what to make of these improvements. Was it the sauna? Sauna + ice? Ice only? We don't know but we did not identify any other protocols or lifestyle changes during this interval that would plausibly account for the change. 5. My vascular function improved by a ten year reduction in age. Now I have the vascular age of an elite 18-early 20s. + Central Systolic Blood Pressure: 96 mmHg + Central Pulse Pressure: 20 mmHg + Pulse Pressure Amplification: 160% + SEVR: 227% + Augmentation Pressure: 1 mmHg + Augmentation Index Wave: 3% + Traditional blood pressure: 107/75 mmHg 6. What type of sauna? Use a dry sauna with high temperatures between 80-100°C (176 to 212°F) and 5-20% relative air humidity. Aim for the lower end of this spectrum, especially as a beginner. Higher temperatures closer to the boiling point can cause side effects like headaches and severely dried nose and eyes. Note: Steam baths, hot tubs, and infrared saunas fail to replicate the same effects because they do not allow you to safely reach the required high temperatures and do not induce the same level of sweating, the necessary inverted (skin-to-core) temperature gradient, and the massive re-direction of blood to the skin with resulting vasodilation. Dry sauna is unique, and very likely superior to wet (steam bath) and infrared saunas. By heating up your skin way faster than your core, dry hot sauna flips your core skin temperature gradient, eliciting the following hormetic benefits: + enhanced blood flow: the heart pumps up to 70% more blood, similar to intense aerobic exercise (zone 2-+ increased sweating for detoxification: to maintain a stable core temperature, the skin produces 0.6-1 liter of sweat per hour, facilitating significant detoxification. + improved heat tolerance: the body becomes better at handling heat, leading to a lower core body temperature (offering metabolic advantages) + safe activation of heat shock proteins: the skin experiences substantial heat shock protein activation, while a modest 1°C increase in core temperature is sufficient to activate these proteins without the risk of hyperthermia. + extended Exposure at higher temperatures: dry saunas are more tolerable for longer durations and at higher temperatures, maximizing the benefits. 7. Sauna protocol and frequency Type: hot dry sauna Temperature: 176–212°F ( I do 200°F) Relative air humidity: very low, 5-20% Duration: 20 min Frequency: 4–7x a week 8. Heat Protection If you'd like, you can protect your head from the heat by wearing a sauna hat or wrapping it with a towel (use only cotton or other 100% natural material). You can breathe through a towel or cloth if needed to protect your nose. I am personally fine not doing this. Most importantly, ice the balls. Icing the testicles is absolutely required to prevent heat from damaging fertility markers. + Ice the testes during the sauna session. + Use a non-toxic, reusable ice pack material. + Wear cotton boxers and shorts. + Place ice packs in between the boxers and shorts. + Keep them in place for the entire session. Men should care about preserving fertility markers even when they are not trying to conceive. Sperm quality is tightly coupled to testicular function, which governs testosterone production, metabolic health, and long term endocrine stability. When fertility parameters decline, the same upstream dysfunction often drives lower testosterone, higher inflammation, and increased cardiometabolic risk. 9. Hydration Dry sauna induces sweating as part of its beneficial mechanism. Be sure to hydrate properly. In general, you might need to rehydrate with up to 16–32 oz (0.5–1 L) of fluid after a sauna session. Be sure to add electrolytes. If you want to be precise, measure your sweat amount and electrolytes (saltiness) using a patch (e.g., from Gatorade) to quantify your liquid and electrolyte loss, and rehydrate accordingly. Some people have saltier sweat than others and must ensure they replenish electrolytes as well as water. My results: my body sweats 18 oz during a 20 min sauna at 200 °F, with a sodium concentration of 25-39 mg/oz. A single sauna session flushes 450–700 mg of sodium out of my body. # I wish you all the best in life my friend. A new era or being human is here. One where existence is the highest virtue. Prioritize sleep, daily exercise and eat well and you'll be in a strong position. Try to avoid the bad stuff. Anything that takes away your agency. Be a warrior and caretaker of existence. Don't Die.
