In this brief excerpt, Bryan Johnson explains how he built his personal health system, called Blueprint, by measuring every organ and biofluid—blood, saliva, stool—along with imaging and fitness tests, making himself the most measured person in history. He describes letting the data speak, matching it to scientific evidence, iterating the protocol, and publishing results. Johnson claims Blueprint is the best health protocol ever created and challenges others to prove him wrong using their own data, emphasizing that data is the only reliable way to make decisions about one’s body.

How have you decided, like on what your diet should be? We wanted to measure every organ of my body, all the biofluids, blood, saliva, stool. We did imaging and fitness tests. I became the most measured person in human history. And we said, let's let the data speak and match that to scientific evidence. We looked at the evidence, we chose a path, we went forward and we've just been iterating, publishing the data each time. So I say tongue in cheek. Blueprint is the best health protocol put together in human history. Prove me wrong with your data. Now, if someone actually did that, it would be a win for us. You have to look at the data as the only reliable, reliable way to make decisions about your body.
