Living Long & Well: The Story of Blueprint, Our Most Advanced Longevity Scan

For those who've been following this newsletter from the beginning, you'll know that my passion for proactive health isn't just a professional pursuit—it's deeply personal. This month's edition is special because it tells the story of our most advanced offering yet: Ezra Blueprint.

The Genesis

Four years ago, I received an unexpected email. Bryan Johnson, known for his groundbreaking work in longevity and biometric tracking, wanted to get an Ezra scan, with a few modifications. As someone who had been following Bryan's work in pushing the boundaries of human health optimization, I was intrigued. This initial connection sparked a relationship that would eventually lead to one of Ezra's most exciting collaborations.

The Blueprint Vision

In 2023 I proposed an idea to Bryan: what if we created a custom scan that combined some of the most advanced imaging technologies available? This idea aligned perfectly with Ezra's strategy.

We've always believed in making cancer screening more accessible while also advancing the state-of-the-art for what’s possible. Think of it as a barbell approach: on one end, we have Full Body Flash, our fastest and most affordable scan, making regular screening accessible to more people. On the other end, we now have Ezra Blueprint, the most advanced scan in the world, for those seeking the ultimate in preventive imaging.

What Makes Ezra Blueprint Different?

Blueprint isn't just another full-body scan. It's a comprehensive health assessment that includes:

  • Full Body MRI Scan: A detailed scan for cancer and 500+ other conditions.
  • MR Angiogram: Provides insights into your blood vessel health.
  • AI-based Brain Analysis: Uses advanced AI to assess brain health and age.
  • Body Composition Assessment: Detailed insights into muscle and fat distribution.
  • Advanced Musculoskeletal Imaging: Focused imaging on areas like hips and knees for early detection of structural issues.
  • Low-Dose Chest CT: Captures detailed lung imagery while minimizing radiation exposure.
  • Coronary Artery Calcium Score: Evaluates coronary health and associated cardiovascular risks.

This combination of technologies provides unprecedented insight into your body's current state and potential future health risks. As Dr. Dan Sodickson discussed in Issue 2, the key to effective screening isn't just about the technology—it's about how we use it.

Why Blueprint? Why Now?

The healthcare industry is evolving rapidly, and personalized health has never been more in demand. As I wrote in Issue 1 of Living Long & Well, the health landscape of 2024 is one where precision, personalization, and proactivity reign supreme. People are realizing the immense value in understanding their bodies in greater depth—not only to detect diseases early but also to make more informed choices that directly impact their healthspan.

Bryan's personal journey mirrors this shift. From understanding his biological age to optimizing his entire body, Bryan has chosen to make data his guide. Through Blueprint, we offer the same opportunity to everyone, empowering you to harness knowledge about your health that once seemed out of reach.

Blueprint embodies the ethos of "leave no stone unturned." It’s for those who want the best and are willing to take a proactive stance towards ensuring their future health. Bryan often refers to himself as an "early adopter of future health" and Blueprint was designed with people like him in mind—those who want to maximize their healthspan, not just lifespan.

The Future of Longevity Scanning

I believe the Ezra Blueprint scan is a glimpse into the future, pointing at what personalized healthcare can become. Imagine being able to detect not only early signs of disease but also understand the intricate workings of your brain, muscles, blood vessels, and body composition - all in one go. Blueprint provides you with an unparalleled understanding of where your body is today and helps you set a course for where it could be tomorrow.

Launching Blueprint also reflects my belief that, as healthcare innovators, we must be ambitious. We must build solutions that not only cater to those seeking accessible, broad-based health screening but also to those pushing the boundaries—the early adopters, the optimizers, the individuals who inspire us to go beyond.

We’re beginning the rollout of Blueprint in select cities—Irvine, Los Angeles, Miami, with New York City and New Jersey soon to follow. It’s an exciting time, and I couldn’t be more proud of our team and grateful for Bryan’s partnership in bringing this vision to life. Together, we’ve created something that pushes the limits of what health scanning can achieve.

If you're interested in taking this next step with us, I encourage you to visit Ezra Blueprint and see what this revolutionary new scan could mean for you.
