Re: The Most Expensive Eating Disorder
#62I was so fit in my 30's, I measured a heart rate of like 38 sitting in a work meeting. I could amuse nurses in an emergency room by clipping my finger into the machine, instead of the patient I was with, to set off the alarms with the low numbers. One time I came in with some severe stomach flu. I was lying on my back and the nurse said to another, "Come here! Look this guy is so thin, you can see his heart beating i…
How often were you going to the emergency room?
Re: The Most Expensive Eating Disorder
#63It seems a bit.. abrasive and brash to label this an eating disorder, no? As a doctor and technical founder/CEO myself, I really like patients who are into their own health and fitness, obviously this guy has the means and resources to take it to an extreme, but I think the lesson he wants to impart is that there are benefits to investing in your own health, the same as people invest in self-tooling such as expensive…
It's inappropriate in general to diagnose people with psych disorders based on their social media and public persona
eh eating disorders in particular have quite the social contagion. anorexia definitely spreads via social media.

I'm not an MD. Jumping from "he blinks a lot in interviews" to "his lacrimal ducts cannot manufacture the lipid portion of tear fluid" is silly. It's like something from a TV show doctor. He's being interviewed and some people blink a lot when they're nervous!
> He's being interviewed and some people blink a lot when they're nervous! We're talking about a guy that chooses to be in front of a camera, weekly, for millions of views.
It isn't so straight forward.
Van Morrison is a world famous musician who has performed on stages since the 1960s. When he last visited my city about a decade ago he played for nearly the entire duration of the show with his back to the crowd as a way of minimizing the performance anxiety that he felt.

#66I will never understand how Bryan Johnson is helping anybody. Ok, if he lives longer then what? Do we all have to do what he does (impossible)? How is he contributing at all to science? He is a walking confounding variable. Even if he succeeds in living a long time, humanity won’t be able to take anything away from it.
Yep. There's nothing scientific about trying 1000 different treatments on yourself. You'll probably drive more interest in the field if you live to be 120 or something, but that's about it. Mostly reeks of ego, selfishness, and a fear of his own mortality. Speaking as a healthcare worker, people in this country don't need a longer lifespan, they need a better quality of life. Most Americans become pretty sick by thei…

there’s a famous story about Wayne Gretzky’s (170 lb weight, 140 lb max bench) recuperative abilities being so powerful that the Oilers’ trainers thought the testing machine was broken.
I don’t understand including the bench number. It’s really low and seems unlikely it was that low?

Uh are you a psychiatrist because it doesn't sound like it? This definitely looks like it could meet DSM criteria as an eating disorder. To the muggles out there, generally speaking non psychiatric doctors (and many older, out of date psych professionals for that matter) know about as much about modern psych diagnostic criteria as a potato.

High body fat is correlated with all sorts of negative health outcomes, no?
That doesn't necessarily imply that super low body fat is optimal.
I think we are speaking past each other due to definitions. I wouldn’t think “lean” is the same as “super low body fat”. I assumed the lean we were talking about was maybe 10-13%. Whereas super low would likely be in the sub-8%.
Re: The Most Expensive Eating Disorder
#70> Also, in the interviews I have seen of him, his blinking frequency is quite high, presumably because he is so low in body fat that his lacrimal ducts cannot manufacture the lipid portion of tear fluid properly. Bryan Johnson is one weird dude and I would bet against his regimen's effectiveness. But stuff like this is just silly and makes me doubt the rest of this post.
Are you an MD like the author? And even if not - what is your rebuttal here?
The lacrimal duct doesn't produce the tear film lipids, it's the meibomian gland. Also I think he meant the lacrimal gland, not the duct, but that'd still be incorrect.
