Food and Nutrition

Three meals per day are included in your membership. These meals follow the Bryan Johnson Blueprint nutrition protocol, which emphasizes whole foods, controlled portions, and nutrient density. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served at the NS Cafe at designated times. The meals are designed for health optimization rather than indulgence. They are generally plant-forward with protein options available. If you have specific dietary needs, the kitchen can accommodate some requests. Coffee and basic beverages are available at the NS Cafe throughout the day.
