- Bryan Johnson brought his “Don’t Die” summit to Singapore in mid-September.
- Over the past years, Johnson, 47, has made headlines for his $2 million-a-year quest to reverse aging.
- The event included booths set up by companies offering “longevity-focused” services like blood testing and ice baths.
“If anyone’s wondering how my morning at the , do regular, low-intensity physical activity, and have a sense of community and purpose.
Buettner has added Singapore to his list of Blue Zones, but unlike the original five, which developed organically, he describes Singapore as a “manufactured city.”
The city-state, which is facing a rapidly aging population, even opened a longevity clinic in a public hospital in 2023.
And for all his unusual — and expensive — lifestyle practices, Johnson made healthy living seem achievable for the average person.
Prioritize sleep, get regular exercise, and don’t eat too late at night, he said. Never mind the fact that he said he wakes up at 5 a.m., eats all his meals by 11 a.m., and goes to bed at 8:30 p.m.
But as one audience member pointed out, it’s unrealistic for regular folks to replicate his schedule.
Johnson said they’re wrong — he set his own family on a consistent sleep routine by modeling it himself.
“Your kids, they’ll do anything. When you structure something, and they live in that world, they’re going to conform to that world,” he added.
As for a social life, Johnson confirms that he does, in fact, have one.
“My friends have been so cool and accommodating. We now do our activities earlier in the evening,” he said.
