Johnson travelled from Los Angeles to Brisbane last month to meet the family of his partner, Kate Tolo, 30, for the first time
Johnson said his trip to Australia undid some of his anti-ageing work amounting to a 'biological insult' that took weeks for his body to recover from.
'I decided to live in her mum’s world. I ate everything she prepared, including meat, bread, and pasta, and embraced the discomfort of being an introvert in a week-long marathon social interaction with the entire extended family,'
'I experienced a huge spike in food noise when in Australia,' he said.
'The desire to eat continuously even though I wasn't hungry, and even full.
'The seven time zone shift shocked my circadian rhythm which then altered my hunger hormones.
'Leptin stopped signalling that I had enough stored energy.
'Ghrelin ran elevated all day instead of only before meals. Blood glucose spikes from bread and carbs, that I ate to be in family ritual, triggered emergency hunger signals in my brain.
'Sleep deprivation weakened my prefrontal cortex's ability to override the urge, making me feel helpless and controlled by impulse.
After returning home, he said it took two weeks to restore his sleep quality, nine days to normalise his cortisol levels and five days to recover his grip strength.
'It takes your body over two weeks to fully recover. It's a big price tag. One international trip per quarter is a reasonable balance,' he said.
'The body understands time zone changes as trauma.
'If you’re budgeting your international trips: I’d suggest no more than once every three months. Evidence shows you need one day per time zone to re-entrain, and east is worse than west.'

I dunno. He’s 48 with a 30-year-old gal...
But stressing over the gal’s vaginal microbiome. I would think it would kind of spoil the fun. ;-)
Snek in yard.
It reminds me of a scene from the movie Annie Hall. Woody Allen’s Hollywood agent comes driving in a convertible with some weird headgear on his head. Woody asks what the heck that is. He responds “It shields out the gamma rays Max, you never old.”
“food noise”
The musical fruit?
Lol
Surprised this wasn’t a Bee sting.
Run Girl!
Like your momma has already told you.
The eye bone is connected to the..navel bone. That’s what it’s all about!
This seems to be a modern form of extreme narcissism
I can’t imagine living with someone so touchy about every little thing.
I hope she’s just as neurotic as he is, or it’s not going to last very long.
It's ok, as long as you sit in the "No Smoking" section.
“food noise”. When crappola terms like that crop up in anything you know you are letting someone pour BShitte in your ears.
Just walk away. He is no better than some street bum holding an argument with a tree — and losing.
(aged him 13 years)
Oops 😬
Musta been one helluva girl!................
He’ll have a very good looking corpse.................
