Most replayed moment: What can we learn from the man who’s trying to live forever? | Bryan Johnson & Tim Spector

Hello, and welcome to Zoe recap, where each week we find the best bits from one of our podcast episodes to help you improve your health. Today, we're exploring one of the most ambitious self experiments in human history. Entrepreneur Brian Johnson spent over $2,000,000 in an attempt to slow or even stop the aging process. From diet and supplements to sleep and skincare, every part of his life is measured, analyzed, and optimized. So what does his daily routine actually look like? And what can the rest of us learn from it? I'm joined by professor Tim Spector to dissect Brian's data driven diet, discuss the future of personalized health, and hear Brian's top five tips for a better night's sleep. Could you talk us through your daily food routine and, I guess, also why? So I I eat 2,250 calories a day. I'm vegan, although I chose to be vegan for ethical reasons. I think we want to be what we want AI to become, and I think we want AI to treat us like we treat other forms of intelligence. So I'm vegan, and my diet consists of the following foods. So in the morning, I'll have, what I call super veggie, which is broccoli, cauliflower, black lentils, hemp seed, garlic, and ginger. And then I'll put some extra virgin olive oil on it, one a 15 ml.

That's my primary intake of those those general categories of foods. I do also I do pea and hemp protein. So I do a hundred and ten grams a day of protein. A hundred and ten grams. You're adding a lot of protein as a supplement there to that food. Yeah. And so that I do collagen so collagen peptides are the only thing I do that are non vegans. I do twenty grams a day of collagen protein, forty grams a day, pea and hemp, and then the remainder is formed legumes and other sources. And you're taking vitamins on on top of that, do you? Yeah. I take about forty pills a day. They're what we think the evidence says are the best. Like, we do calcium alpha ketoglutarate, taurine, lysine. We do, NR. So, yeah, so, basically, we try to scour the evidence to say what things cannot be achieved in dietary intake and, how do we supplement those. So you look at what you're eating and you say, what might we be missing from those foods? Exactly. And you you supplement with these ones. Yeah. So we try to we try to create, as perfect of a diet as possible where we say, every calorie has …
