Do you think one bad night of sleep can really harm your body?
Would you try a routine that could help you reverse aging?
Today, Jay sits down with Bryan Johnson, entrepreneur and founder of Blueprint, who is redefining human health and longevity. Dubbed “the world’s most measured human,” Bryan shares his extraordinary journey of reversing aging and improving biological performance through science-backed methods and a meticulously designed lifestyle.
Bryan discusses how his $2 million-a-year protocol isn’t just about extreme spending but about pioneering a blueprint for everyone.
