Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint: Anti-Aging or Over-Optimized? A Conversation About Aging Well | Ep.181


Listen Later

Is aging just a problem to be solved—or a process to be embraced?In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong and co-host Corbin Bruton explore Bryan Johnson’s headline-grabbing Blueprint—a rigorous anti-aging protocol developed by the tech entrepreneur in an attempt to rewind his biological age.We break down what the Blueprint involves (spoiler: it’s intense), why Johnson is pursuing such an extreme form of longevity, and whether his quest reflects wellness—or just a fear of aging. Along the way, we examine the deeper questions: What does it mean to age well? Can optimization ever replace meaning? And what parts of Johnson’s approach are actually helpful for the rest of us?If you're curious about biohacking, longevity science, or just trying to figure out how to live well as you grow older, this conversation offers critical insights, a few laughs, and a grounded vision for aging well—without losing yourself in the process.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like’ button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….BUY the products you need to… age well from our trusted affiliates and support the mission of ‘The Aging Well Podcast’*.The Aging Well Podcast merchandise | Show how you are aging well | Use the promo code AGING WELL for free shipping on orders over $75 | https://theagingwellpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/promo/AGINGWELLRebalance Health | products created by hormone health experts to lower cortisol, improve sleep, and minimize the impact of stress on the body and mind | https://rebalancehealth.com/AgingWellProlon | The Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) is a revolutionary five-day nutrition program scientifically formulated to mimic the effects of a prolonged water fast while still allowing nourishment - supporting the benefits of fasting without the challenges and risks that come from water-only fasts. | For the best available discount always use this link: https://prolonlife.com/theagingwellpodcastL-Nutra Health | The medical division of L-Nutra, focused on helping people manage and potentially reverse chronic health conditions, like type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, and obesity, using personalized, lifestyle-based programs grounded in evidence, not prescriptions. | Use this link: https://l-nutrahealth.com/theagingwellpodcastThrive25—Your personal longevity advisor | https://www.thrive25.com/early-access?via=william-jeffreyMemory Lane TV | the first therapeutic streaming platform for people living with dementia — designed to replace overstimulating television with multisensory, evidence-based media that soothes, orients, and restores | for 30% off the annual subscription visit https://www.memory-lane.tv/?rfsn=8714090.a500b0Fusionary Formulas | Combining Ayurvedic wisdom with Western science for optimal health support. | 15% off Code: AGINGWELL | https://fusionaryformulas.com/Jigsaw Health | Trusted supplements. “It’s fun to feel good.” | Click the following link for 10% off: https://www.jigsawhealth.com/?rfsn=8710089.1dddcf3&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=8710089.1dddcf3Auro Wellness | Glutaryl—Antioxidant spray that delivers high doses of glutathione (“Master Antioxidant”) | 10% off Code: AGINGWELL at https://aurowellness.com/?ref=1957Dr Lewis Nutrition | Fight neurodegeneration and cognitive decline with Daily Brain Care by Dr Lewis Nutrition—a proven daily formula designed to protect and restore brain function. | 10% off code: AGINGWELL or use the link: https://drlewisnutrition.com/AGINGWELLTruDiagnostic—Your source for epigenetic testing | 12% off Code: AGEWELL or use the link: https://shop.trudiagnostic.com/discount/AGEWELL*We receive commission on these purchases.
