The immortal, eternal Bryan Johnson broke his frail, childlike ankle while dancing at age 47

it makes sense since he avoids sunlight that his house is shadowy and grey. the post-post-modern chic is so bad. im looking for an apartment or cottage at the ski hill and the renovations sellers have done to their properties is like this, I would have rather they left it as is so I can make my own changes instead of them expecting a premium for their crappy design choices. you know what I'm talking about, muted colours, open concept everything, etc. apparently at Home Depot all the flooring choices are only available in that muted grey/blue color now because that's all people buy.
like, you're up at the ski hill in winter, everything is already white from the snow and an overcast days super grey. and you make your interior decoration the same way??? cottages are supposed to be a warm respite from that lol
-
@sneedful wow...
Yeah no kidding you want a snow blanketed environment to have warm wood color interiors more than most things!
the culture war doesn't stop at political policy, it's comin for you
-
Oh my word
He is SO unwell
-
Damn that's pretty sad... I remember reading briefly about all his high maintenance pre-cautions he takes in order to travel, planning in the extra sleep, meticulously packing all these vitamins and supplements and other remedies. And the man supposedly exercises every day too and has great strength for his age and size...
But then he just breaks his ankle dancing, doing normie people stuff?
Pretty damning to his whole philosophy imo.
-
I think he's even somewhat improving his appearance by all types of cosmetic tricks.
IIRC he had hair transplant, hair coloring, Botox (?) , testosterone injections, facial fillers ,...If all of that is necessary to not look like the walking dead, I'd second guess my approach.
And that is even while is taking some pro-metabolic things like testosterone and NAD.What I like is that he's honest about what he does and take . There is something truly scientific about that.
Dare to think.
-
I suspect his bone health have less to do with being a snowflake and more to do with his diet lacking bioavailable nutrients. If he suckled sows for a million Bitcoin a year instead of going on a vegetable yoga-cruise, he might have been able to dance to age-old music. Nietzche talked about this...
Put yourself on fire for peak energy metabolism.
Ignore, judge, overcommit.
-
Doubt it pal.
-
if we do lots of exercise injures are unavoidable , but we do it for fun anyway. Another option is to stay at home and drink coffee
-
All injures are avoidable.
-
(edit - replying to @Norwegian Mugabe) But he takes 100+ supplements daily
Yeah I really don't get this guy. His diet is so good apparently but is insufficient to:
-
get him the nutrients he needs, so he takes 100+ supplements,
-
keep healthy hormone levels, so he takes testosterone and other hormones
Really weird approach. I'd think the diet is foundational, and supplements should be the minimum to fill in gaps.
I think his approach is literally the "chatGPT" of health. He'll follow midwit science ("oh this is good, so is this, and this, let's supplement all these things!") and put it all together and end up with this weird frankenstein approach where his positive results and appearance is probably explained 95% by testosterone, weight loss/cleaner diet (he was quite pudgy before), and good sleep.

Higher metabolic rate means more co2 production. More co2 production means less bone catabolism. Those with marble bone disease have a carbonic anhydrase deficiency and that is considered to be the cause of the massively hypertrophied bones.
So, in reality if Bryan Johnson wants to heal, he should first of all get off his stupid hypocaloric diet, incease his metabolic rate, and possible take some thiamine or acetazolamide, both of which inhibit carbonic anhydrase.
-
I suppose he could be honest about what he takes, but perhaps there are things he doesn't document, such as injectable androgens or other "frowned upon" therapies.
I would be more surprised if he was 100% transparent than if he had some skeletons in the closet.
-
@jamezb46 nice. thanks for sharing. do you have any convenient research/articles/videos or Ray quotes on supplementing acetazolamide?

With a temp of 93.4°, he is extremely hypothyroid so it makes sense he would break bones easily—the thyroid/parathyroid glands are the main glands involved in bone/connective tissue metabolism. Also, if his diet and/or supplement stack is irritating and/or estrogenic, that can contribute to bone thinning as the former raises serotonin and both serotonin and estrogen cause bone thinning (per Ray). A low irritation diet abundant in nutrient-rich animal proteins (raw milk, raw yogurt, raw cheese, eggs, bone broth and small amounts of meat—mostly shellfish) reversed my advanced osteoporosis. I went from a DEXA score of -6.7 to -3.6 within a year. Just for reference, -3.4 is considered osteopenia and -3.5 is osteoporosis. With the addition of a thyroid supplement (standardized NDT), I’ve slowly been gaining back the 4” of height I lost when my spine collapsed in my late 20s, while following a high-carb, low-protein, fruit-based (80/10/10) diet. My bones were so brittle that I fractured 12 vertebrae, 8 of which compressed, within seconds of lifting half a watermelon.

@Jennifer good grief. Well done!

@LetTheRedeemed None that I'm aware of that discuss dosing or protocols, but I do know that he recommended it for sleep apnea on the generative energy streams.

^^ Here is a generative energy podcast with Georgi discussing osteoporosis and how certain hormones and/or substances promote bone reabsorbtion (prolactin, cortisol, estrogen, to name a few)
At 12:00 they start discussing carbonic anhydrase and marble bone disease.

@jamezb46 oh cool. Thanks!

Thank you, @Lizb.
