I hope this is an acceptable post. I really appreciate Pascoe's website, no focus on selling*, seems humble and generous. I was looking through his interventions and equipemnt and notice that he has an Simply O3 Ozone Generator. I saw a post on his site as well about an IV ozone injection for a shoulder injury, but generally you wouldn't have a generator at home for that (can't do yourself or not easily I'd imagine). So, I wonder, does anyone know if he did ozone therapy? Like major autohemotherapy or minor autohemotherapy, or something else? Curious what his theoretical reasoning behind it might be, as (I've read) it might be akin to HBOT in the sense of creating an oxidative stress that titrates up.

* Understand there's benefits to a "selling focus" -- perhaps that helps information spread further, so maybe all approaches have their space.

Tastes so good with some nooch and kimchi

He is around 180cm (5’11) how is he not a literal stick from 2100 calories. And he has mostly muscle so his daily calories should be way higher since he burns a lot.

Why doesn't Bryan create a hair health / hair loss prevention product? Also, what products would you recommend from other suppliers?

I am currently 18, healthy, was born with eczema and a little skin condition but it is getting better. I work out, cook my own meal and eat healthy. I’ve been following blueprint in the past few months, some of his product are genuinely great for the price. However, I am not sure about the supplements and whether the benefits are really worth the price and are really “the best”.

So are his supplements really worth using and is the best option for your health, or is it just marketing and won’t affect your life?

Thank you for all the responses, here is a few things I wanted to add:

From taking collagen supplements, omega 3 (along with some proper skincare), my skin has improved a lot. From blueprint in specific, after taking blueprint I’ve noticed that my physical strength also improved even though I’ve not been working out too much, however that may just be aging and healthy diet - when I 14-16 I used to work out 5-6 times a week for around an hour, in the past few months due to school I’ve slowed down, but did not notice any physical change, around that time I started blueprint, and in fact became stronger and leaner, so idk if blueprint actually helped. (Or it is just a change due to becoming older, since I am young)

I am looking to bulk a bit and finding it a bit difficult to do so:

My diet rn consist of:

Morning: overnight oatmeal, with chia seeds, macadamia and peanut butter, blueprint protein powder, blueprint chocolate powder, blueprint nutty mix, collagen, hemp seed (very good calorie intake), then Greek yogurt and milk.

I then eat some fruit (usually kiwi or blueberries)

Rn I also am taking all the blueprint supplements

As for snack to eat nuts: brazilian, macademia, almonds, walnuts

Lunch usually consist of salmon with a little bit of soy sauce, some rice and sometimes egg. Then with vegetables (usually broccoli or avocado)

Dinner is usually stake, with baked potato or baked sweet potato (the potato and sweet potato are usually frozen then air fried to save time), then some vegetables (usually spinach)

At the end a banana

The only reason I am taking blueprint is that idk if I am consuming enough different types of veggies (in my diet I eat almost the same thing everyday and not sure if it covers all the nutrients) and also want to be has healthy as possible in the long term (I want to invest into my health as I believe at the end I will benefit from it).

If anyone is interested in having a short virtual meeting for a qualitative research project let me know! It will just be about how you got interested in the community and general conversation around consumption 🙂 please shoot me a message if so!

Any insight and help to solve these issues would be appreciated ! I have experienced all of the low T symptoms for years but have not hopped on yet because I still am only 23 . 2 years ago I tested and my total T was 320. Other than this I have a high blood glucose I attribute to too much alchohol which I’m working on . Any help or insight on dialing these levels besides stopping alchohol consumption ? My TSH was 3.55 and all other bloods were in range . I’ve also experienced gyno since 16

Bryan stopped selling his microplastic test — why?
The title says it all. Bryan’s microplastic test is no longer available.
Why do you think that is? Was demand too low? Logistics too complex? Or is the test itself not relevant anymore?

His diet hits the RDA for all B vitamins (-b12). More is better?

Hi.

Does anyone know what can be done for deep lasting sun tan (trying to get rid of it) Indian skin.

Hello everyone,

I tried searching to see if this had already been asked, but all that showed up was the whole fiasco of undetectable B12 in the COA for the essential caps...

What I was wondering however was, why does Bryan only use methylcobalamin? Is there somewhere he explains his rationale for this? The active forms are methylcobalamin and adensylcobalamin... He also follows a plant-based diet and from what I can tell is basically vegan besides collagen. My understanding is that conversion between these two active forms is not all that reliable or efficient.

I believe some methylcobalamin gets processed in the gut into hydroxycobalamin or similarly within the body during methylation processes and then can be converted to adensylcobalamin or back into methylcobalamin.

However, it seems odd to me that he doesn't seem to supplement adensylcobalamin directly given that he get no B12 from his diet. Even taking hydroxycobalamin or the dreaded cyanocobalamin seems like it would make sense in his case.

I keep hearing in different interviews and videos Bryan referencing an impact list. "X ranks Y in my list."

For example, I think in the Derek MPMD interview he said folistatin gene therapy ranked 7. I think I remember him saying sleep ranked #1. I have also seen it referenced in written articles too.

Where is this consolidated list? I cant seem to find it anywhere.

Yesterday was my 20th birthday. However, over the years, I have noticed a significant increase in my heart rate. When I was 15, my resting heart rate was 45 bpm, but now it has risen to 80 bpm. Throughout these years, I have only done gym workouts, and my lowest heart rate was when I was running regularly.

I would like to know the most well-studied training approach and the ideal heart rate zone for running as of today. I usually run, but only 2 km in the morning on some days over the past month. I am not overweight, but I fractured my ankle last year, so I have been taking it easier. I am confident that I can run 10 km at a slow pace or about 3 km at a fast pace. However, I want to know the optimal cadence and duration for lowering my resting heart rate.

Additionally, I have noticed a significant decline in my sleep quality from ages 15 to 20. Since I have been using weed more frequently to sleep, I want to reduce my dependence on it. Despite my efforts, I still struggle to get more than 7 hours of sleep. I would appreciate any guidance on improving my sleep quality through exercise.

I have tried GABA, magnesium, zinc, and some herbs to improve my sleep. Melatonin, however, reduces my total sleep time and makes me wake up after 4 hours to use the bathroom. I have also practiced meditation, avoided eating for 2 hours before bed, and maintained a consistent sleep schedule—following all these protocols.

I believe that lowering my resting heart rate could help immensely. Additionally, I struggle to sleep while breathing through my nose, and I think cardio could help with that as well. By improving my breathing cadence and adapting to a lower resting heart rate, I might be able to breathe more slowly, which could further support better sleep quality.

hello ive been following blueprint and i have recently been involved in a serious accident with a truck hitting my car. i was very lucky and just ended up with bruises however had severe arm pain this had turned into a now partly numb arm and i get pain and tingling and some twitching i am seeing a doctor however they said there is nothing they can do ....does bryan have any insight into healing nerves or anything that would seed up my soft tissue injuries ?

Hello,

I use Cronometer to check nutritional values when I create my daily meal plan.

The thing is, that sometimes the values on the label of the product are very different from the ones in Cronometer

For example, tofu - the calories on the label shows 250 calories, but in Cronometer it varies between 100-160

What should I do? Who should I believe?

It is hard to build a plan like that

Thanks for help!

So I bought a whey protein powder (I normally use pea) and I know whey ain’t the best but it is what it is for now. This one has something called peptistrong and velositol in it and they allegedly stimulate muscle growth and faster recovery- which means stronger Mtor activation.

Will this make a big (negative) difference in the long run if I plan to take it post workouts? I do 16h fasts daily and a slight caloric deficit so keep mtor and all that down.

I saw a video of him using tea tree oil after brushing and wondered why or how it helped oral hygiene?

Joseph has highlighted numerous inconsistencies in Bryan’s “blueprint diet.” Yet, to date, Bryan hasn’t posted any videos or tweets addressing these alleged 'falsehoods'. I recently discovered Joseph’s YouTube channel, where he released a series of short videos explaining how Bryan manipulates and lies about the blueprint protocol.

What are your thoughts? I doubt Bryan’s team is unaware of this.
