Brian Johnson's blueprint longevity approach, although interesting, raises concerns as it appears to diminish the body's ability to efficiently generate energy. Johnson's lower body temperature, a consequence of caloric restriction, limited protein intake, fasting, and possibly reduced carbohydrate consumption, indicates impaired thyroid function and reduced metabolic rates, aligning with the decline in basal metabolism observed in humans.
