I have the world's slowest speed of aging: 0.48

Breaking the 0.5 barrier.

This means:

+ My birthday now happens every 2 years

+ I am #1 out of 5,677 global Rejuvenation Olympics competitors

+ My three test average: 0.54



This new biological aging measurement science has begun nipping at the heels of the best predictors of all-cause morality.

What is the Rejuvenation Olympics?

When I started Blueprint, people didn’t know what category to place me so they’d blurt out words like vampire, Patrick Bateman, techbro, f*#@ face, biohacker, Prometheus, Dorian Grey, and more.

It was clear that we needed a new category to define what I was doing so I started referring to myself as a “professional rejuvenation athlete”. When LeBron James eats and sleeps well, and then sets records, we praise him. When I did the same, hate rained.

Understanding rejuvenation as a sport helps confer some respect and formality to the practice. With this framework, I created the Rejuvenation Olympics.

A leaderboard for people who want to compete on their speed of aging, or rather the slowness thereof.

Blueprint, Don’t Die and the Rejuvenation Olympics

I was doing two things with this.

First, up until I started Project Blueprint and Don’t Die, health influencers and health fads were primarily storytelling-based and anecdotal. What was missing: rigorous science, measurement and data.

When health decisions are managed by storytelling, it’s hard to know what to do as you never really know what does or doesn’t work and who is or isn’t telling the truth. This led people to be very confused and feel paralyzed.

This inspired my project to become the most scientifically rigorous and quantifiable of all time.

I became the most biologically measured person in human history.

If the goal is don’t die, we need robust, science based systems, with quantifiable results.

We built Blueprint on population level scientific evidence. So it’s not an accurate criticism that Blueprint is based upon my biomarkers. Blueprint is for everyone. Yes, each person’s Blueprint can further be customized to your individual needs however the core protocol is applicable to everyone of all ages.

The Rejuvenation Olympics set a level playing field for anyone who wanted to compete in health and wellness. Humans love points, status and leaderboards, and these are essential for any competitive sport. 

Why your Speed of Aging is important

I chose the speed of aging metric because of the robustness and reliability of the signal it measures.

DNA methylation is a whole-body health marker that integrates thousands of biochemical cues into a measurable signal. The speed of aging algorithm distills this into a single number: an individual’s PACE score.

In just a few years, this new biological aging measurement technology has begun nipping at the heels of the best predictors of all-cause morality. And it’s an easy finger prick at home.

When talking about health and wellness, people can compare markers such as blood glucose, hormones, cholesterol and others.  However, each of those are narrow in scope. DNA Methylation, and specifically the clock PACE, is a comprehensive assessment of one’s health. 

So I created a new professional sport, gave it a name and rules and created a competition.

As you might expect, people are really into it.

Are you genetically gifted?

From speaking to others on the leaderboard, I’ve learned that some people naturally (genetically) have a very low speed of aging. This makes intuitive sense based upon our life experience. Sometimes people do nothing for their health and are in perfect health.

I personally met someone in the top 10 who was fairly close to me in his speed of aging and guess what he does for his health? Nothing. Meanwhile, lowering my speed of aging is a primary focus of my life. He is genetically gifted. I am not.

However, even though I’m not genetically gifted, it is interesting that through methodical hard work, one can meaningfully slow down their speed of aging, even outperforming all the genetically gifted ones. When gene editing comes online, perhaps lowering our speed of aging will be a simple fix. Or, maybe it will even be a pill.

Until then, I’ve loved playing this game of trying to understand the science, design evidence based protocols, and then execute with precision.

The Rejuvenation Olympics has also been incredibly helpful for the entire health community, helping everyone understand what things increase and decrease one’s speed of aging. I’ll post more on this soon.

How to compete in the Rejuvenation Olympics:

1. Get a Blueprint Speed of Aging Test.

2. When registering your test, you’ll have the option to participate in the leaderboard.

3. You need three tests to have a “verified” ranking on the leaderboard, and the tests need to be within the previous two years. Your best 3 test results within 2 years will be displayed, allowing for experimentation with various interventions and protocols while not punishing you for the learning process.

Be well,
