◐Partially SupportedBody fat percentage can decrease by 4% and muscle mass can increase by 6 lbs within 30 days.

◐Partially SupportedTo perform well on a trail run, one should aim to reach the peak feeling 'smashed but not totally smashed' to conserve energy for the descent.

◐Partially SupportedKate will attempt to follow Brian Johnson's Blueprint protocol for 30 days, aiming for a 100% sleep score nightly, consuming 1700 calories of specific Blueprint food daily, taking over 60 supplements, and performing 13 minutes of high-intensity exercise and 39 minutes of moderate strength and flexibility training daily, while maintaining her current body weight.

◐Partially SupportedThe speaker's single rep max for leg press increased significantly, exceeding expectations.

◐Partially SupportedBaseline testing revealed deficiencies in six vitamins and minerals, which were corrected by adjusting the protocol and supplements.

◐Partially SupportedSwapping body fat for muscle increases strength and readiness.

◐Partially SupportedPast prolonged sun exposure in Australia has resulted in Bryan Johnson having UV spots equivalent to a 65-year-old's skin.

◐Partially SupportedWithin 30 days, VO2 Max percentile improved from the 51st to the 93rd percentile.

◐Partially SupportedThe Blueprint diet is challenging due to significant changes in eating habits, calorie restriction, daily exercise, and multiple therapies.

◐Partially SupportedKate is experiencing positive changes in body composition, with increasing muscle mass and decreasing body fat, leading to increased strength.

◐Partially SupportedSleep improved by an average of 40 minutes more deep sleep per night within 30 days.

✕Not SupportedElevated oxidized LDL, measured at 222 and confirmed, is a cause for concern due to potential arterial plaque buildup.

◐Partially SupportedExercise does not get easier with improved fitness; one becomes better at enduring discomfort.

◐Partially SupportedFollowing a routine of morning tasks, workout, and eating before starting the workday leads to a more relaxed and productive day.

◐Partially SupportedRunning at a pace that elevates heart rate to the high 160s or 150s can be felt within two to three minutes.

◐Partially SupportedKate's baseline blood work revealed low Vitamin D and Zinc levels, and elevated oxidized LDL at 222.

◐Partially SupportedAfter 90 days, the speaker is no longer following the full 'Blueprint' protocol to the same extent, focusing on basics like sleep, exercise, and diet.
