Everstack Evidence

Notes on the Blueprint protocol

A single person's self-experiment, published on his own site. Some pieces rest on solid evidence; the full stack has never been tested.

The question

How much of Bryan Johnson's Blueprint protocol is backed by trials?

Study design

We compared the public protocol (protocol.bryanjohnson.com) with trial evidence for its main components. ^[1][2][3][4]

What they found

Well supported: regular exercise and high fitness, consistent sleep, and a Mediterranean-style diet rich in extra-virgin olive oil, which lowered major cardiovascular events in the PREDIMED trial. Mixed or early: many of the supplements in the stack, including NAD+ precursors and compounds tested mainly in animals. Untested: the combination of dozens of interventions together. ^[1][2][3][4]

Limitations

Blueprint also sells products. Self-reported biomarkers from one person cannot separate cause from effect.

What this does not mean

We are not affiliated with Blueprint or Bryan Johnson, and nothing here endorses his products.
