Bryan Johnson's team designs his daily diet by measuring hundreds of biological markers like liver function and DNA methylation, then calculating exactly 2,150 calories tailored to his physiology. His conscious mind doesn't choose what he eats. His organs and the data do.

My team and I make recipes and we try to create the perfect diet. So I consume 2,150 calories a day. We try to make every single calorie perfectly suited for my body. We don't waste a single thing. And so this represents all of our scientific work, all evidence based medicine. We try to have zero guesswork. It's all based upon hundreds of measurements from my body that generate the data. Look at that. Through evidence based medicine. And we formulate these recipes. Importantly, as I mentioned before, my conscious mind is never consulted about what it wants to eat my body. So these measurements ask my liver and my heart and my DNA methylation what they need to thrive as biological processes and organs in my body, and it generates data. It says, I'm happy in this way and I'm sad in these ways.
