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

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.

Interesting Johnson clip from twohands on rpf about his use of thyroid here.
-
"What do you suggest?" seems defensive... but I think he's actually asking.
