1. Sleep. Sleep is Bryan's #1 life priority. Asleep by 8:30pm and naturally wakes at 5:00am without an alarm. His sleep is so good he set a record: 8 months of perfect sleep scores with 2 hours of REM and 2 hours of deep sleep nightly. Here's how:

Bryan's reduced his biological age by 5.1 years in just 7 months. Tests show his cells are aging more slowly than 92% of 18-year-olds. At 46, his body functions like someone in their 20s. Here're 8 habits you can learn from his $2M protocol:

2. Morning light First thing after waking, Bryan gets 10,000 lux light directly into his eyes for 3–4 minutes. He uses a special light device in winter, but natural sunlight works too. This morning light fixes his body clock and cuts his nighttime heart rate by 6 beats/minute.

7. Exact food protocol Bryan eats exactly 2,250 calories daily: • 25% protein (141g) • 35% carbs (197g) • 40% fat (100g) "Super Veggie" lunch: lentils, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger. His meals are plant-based by choice, not necessity for longevity.

6. Workday movement breaks Every 30 minutes, Bryan takes a 5-minute movement break. He rotates between standing and sitting desk. These mini-breaks keep blood flowing, body loose, and mind sharp. He says this habit alone boosted his work output by 34% in 3 months.

8. Wind-down routine Bryan's nighttime routine has one goal: lower his resting heart rate. He turns off all screens and at 7:00pm he takes a 10-minute outdoor walk. He reads physical books and does 5-minute breathing exercises to calm his nervous system.
