🗞 Only $2 million dollars per year to live forever? | 3-2-1

The Bircher Bar Weekly 3-2-1 is here to be interesting, educational, actionable and rewarding to you - our readers.

The goal is to pack in a bunch of great articles, recipes, new product ideas and giveaways in a fun and entertaining way - so much so that when you're finished reading it, you're equal parts devastated it's over and uncomfortably excited for the next one.

It's our job to put this together as best we can and your job to let us know if we hit the mark.

Let's go.

Highlights this week:

• The $2 million dollar live forever plan 🧬 

• A pizza recipe we’d all be better off for knowing 🍕 

• My favourite coffee gadget of all time ☕️

It’s not cheap to live forever 😬💰

Living forever is an idea that has captured human imagination since… well, since we realised that we all die I guess? 😬 

And while some people throughout history have famously dedicated their lives to exploring this concept - none have done so quite as drastically as Bryan Johnson 🧬 

In what he calls ‘Blueprint’, Johnson has designed an incredibly rigorous protocol that’s designed to reverse his biological age and move him towards what he describes as his #1 goal: Don’t Die 🙅‍♂️

So, what does it take to not die?

Well, so far it looks like:

• $2 million dollars a year for all the necessary tools, tricks and team

• Taking over 100 supplements a day and subjecting yourself to all manner of therapies and edgy experiments

• Living your life to an extremely rigid and meticulously designed algorithm

• Completely discarding your love of food and flavour 😂 

There’s no doubt that he lives in a way that only a human worth 100’s of millions of dollars can, however, via his Blueprint program, Johnson encourages everyone to take steps to reverse their own biological age (albeit, on a bit more of a budget protocol than his personal one).

Whether you like the idea, or even believe it can work, there’s no denying that it’s pretty fascinating stuff 🤯 

Go a bit deeper into the ins and outs of his very extreme life with this interview here 👇

Is food waste bugging you? 🐛

Food waste is a massive problem in Australia (and many other countries for that matter) that takes up huge amounts of landfill space and produces vast amounts of troublesome methane gas 😳

It’s an issue that many are trying to solve - and the Australian start-up Goterra believes they can help by bringing bugs to the party to help with the cleanup! 🧹 

Their innovative and fascinating system uses black soldier fly larvae in what can only be described as a modified shipping container to process between 1 to 1.7 tonnes of food waste each day 🤯 

The food waste is minimally processed and then fed to the larvae by robots 🤖. The insects eat the food and produce a substance known as ‘frass’ which serves as excellent fertiliser and feed for stock animals 🐔 

The larvae have a 12-day life cycle, at which point they are removed as feed as well, and then replaced by new larvae to continue the process 🐛 

How cool huh!? 😎 Check out more about the bug-waste solution right here 👇

Picking the right supplements is hard 💊 …

From greens powders and probiotics right through to sleep aids and broad multivitamins - most of us benefit from some form of supplementation in the modern world ✅ 

But as for choosing the right supplements - how do you do it? 🤔 

Well, we all have different needs and goals so the process is likely going to vary from person to person, however, if you’re looking for some general guidance on how to go about it - there’s probably none better to listen to than Dr. Andrew Huberman 👨‍⚕️

You’ve probably heard us refer to him quite a few times at this point as we believe he’s one of the most rigorous and reputable scientists, and science communicators in the world right now 🔥 

He’s released some great information on how he approaches supplementation and what to consider when designing your own supplement program - and we’ve condensed and summarised it all into one handy article 📰

It’s Time To Hear From You! 🫵

Eternal life. Some dream of it and others believe it’s an impossible task.

As technology rapidly advances and science goes deeper into the realms of slowing aging - the idea of living for hundreds of years (if not forever) becomes more and more … realistic.

Or does it? 🤷‍♂️

This week’s question is for The Bircher Bar reader is 👇 

Last Weeks Results:

Last week we asked you: ‘Are You A Tim Tam Fan?’

⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ 👍 Most Definitely - who doesn't love a cheeky Tim Tam?

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 👎 Not for me thanks

⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ 🤷‍♀️ What or who is Tim Tam??

Well, I’ll be damned, not a Tim Tam eater in the house with a solid 100% of you saying they aren’t your thing! I know we are a pretty healthy bunch but I’d have guessed at least a few of you were into this classic Aussie treat.

That being said, one of our readers seems to be a fan but is exercising some strong willpower 👇
