Resting Respiratory Rate is a variable worth exploring.
The Problem
We’re Breathing Ourselves To Death
Historical human ventilation
Hyperventilation is a hidden sickness
A historical compilation claims it was present in 90% of “modern normals.”
Resting minute ventilation reported across a historical compilation citing 24 published medical studies.

The Pioneer
Blueprint Makes The Invisible Visible
Blueprint can pioneer a field of science in a way that's never been done before. That's what a revolution in health and longevity looks like: leaders pointing to the target humanity didn't even know to look for. That's you, Bryan, pushing the limit and helping us understand what's possible.

Make the Invisible Visible
Blueprint redefined longevity by measuring what everyone else overlooked. Breath may be the gateway to a new era of longevity. You’ve proven that the cycle of life can be extended. Together we can explore the cycle of breath that measures our mental, physical, and emotional states. A turtle breathes 4 breaths per minute and lives to 194, if the goal is Don’t Die, then it's time to start Turtlemaxxing. 🐢
The Invitation
Let’s Sync.
I'll be in L.A. throughout August and September. Let's explore potential breathing protocols that belong in Blueprint! If this resonates, CC whoever manages your calendar, and I'll arrange my travel around a time that works best for you!
