Should I do Blueprint or MAVI?

Both. They address non-overlapping halves of the longevity stack. A Blueprint practitioner in a measurably noisy environment (high PM2.5, low melanopic lighting at night, elevated EMF in the bedroom, PFAS-laced furniture) is reverting measurable percentages of their own protocol every twenty-four hours. A complete longevity practice has both halves.

Is MAVI endorsed by Bryan Johnson?

No. MAVI references Blueprint as a foundational text in the body-side longevity field. The relationship is editorial peer-citation, not endorsement, not affiliation, not commercial.

Does MAVI replace Blueprint?

No. The two are complementary. Blueprint specifies what enters the body. MAVI specifies the room the body lives in. Either alone is partial; together they describe the full longevity stack.

Can I run Blueprint in any home?

You can run Blueprint anywhere; you cannot run it cleanly anywhere. The output of any input protocol is bounded above by the exposure environment of the home it is practised in. The MAVI Snapshot is a free way to see what your address is doing.

What does MAVI cost compared to Blueprint?

The MAVI Snapshot is free. The MAVI Diagnostic is CHF 999 one-time. The Living Diagnostic is CHF 999 setup plus CHF 199 per month. By contrast, the Blueprint protocol is open-source and free to read; Blueprint Stack supplements are sold separately. The two cost structures are different categories: Blueprint is a recurring input cost; MAVI is mostly one-time-at-specification.

MAVI vs Blueprint, the body and the room

The most popular longevity protocol of the last decade is, almost by definition, an input protocol. Blueprint specifies the food, the supplements, the sleep schedule, the exercise dose, the diagnostic cadence. It is rigorous, public, and measured. It is also, on its own, half of the picture.

The other half is the room. The home is a twenty-three-hour-a-day exposure surface that no input protocol can reach. MAVI is the design discipline that specifies it.

	Blueprint	MAVI
Subject of optimisation	The body. Food, supplements, sleep schedule, exercise dose, diagnostic cadence.	The architecture around the body. Air, water, light, sound, temperature, materials, microbiology, EMF, mind, habits.
Methodology	Public input protocol with measured biomarker outputs. Iterates against personal data.	Peer-reviewed framework with measured environmental outputs. Iterates against the latest science.
Unit of measurement	Organ-system biomarkers (HRV, glucose, sleep stages, lipid panel, etc.).	The MAVI Score, a 0 to 100 composite across 129 environmental factors in ten domains.
Core asset	Time, discipline, and the practitioner's own body.	The residence and its specification.
Cost profile	Recurring (food, supplements, diagnostics, equipment).	One-time at design specification, then near-zero. Material specification is the cheapest moment to specify and the most expensive to retrofit.
Reversibility	Immediate. Stop the protocol, biology returns to baseline within weeks.	Slow but durable. Architecture is the variable that compounds.
Evidence base	Self-quantified plus selected peer-reviewed sources.	Peer-reviewed across environmental health, circadian biology, building science, materials chemistry, environmental psychology.
Public price	Open-source protocol; supplements via Blueprint Stack.	Snapshot free. Diagnostic CHF 999. Living Diagnostic CHF 999 + CHF 199/month. Higher tiers by invitation.
Practitioner profile	Bryan Johnson, public-facing. Backed by his own clinical team.	Kas Bordier, Geneva. Two decades at the intersection of UHNW residential, hospitality, and longevity medicine.
Time to first signal	Days to weeks (sleep, energy, glucose).	Seven minutes (Snapshot). Twenty-four hours (Diagnostic).
What it cannot do	Cannot redesign the room the body lives in twenty-three hours a day.	Cannot replace what enters the body, the supplements taken, the food eaten, the schedule kept.
Stack position	Body half of the longevity stack.	Architecture half of the longevity stack.

Run both. They are additive.

The single sentence: Blueprint optimises the biology. MAVI optimises the architecture the biology lives inside. Either alone is partial; together they describe the full longevity stack.

If you are practising Blueprint and have not yet specified the room, the Snapshot of your address is free. Seven minutes, no card required.
