Longevity Protocols and Brian Johnson's Approach
Higher metabolic rates across species like dogs, mice, and humans are linked to longevity as converting fuel into energy efficiently supports overall health and longevity. Obese individuals struggle with converting food into energy, storing excess fuel. The common misconception that more energy leads to obesity is incorrect, rather the issue lies in the body's inability to convert stored fat into energy. 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.
