Johnson explicitly casts his 2,000-calorie, 100-pills-a-day protocol as an exploration à la Shackleton or Magellan — mapping the absolute limits of what's biologically possible. The narrative frame is exploration of the unknown frontier, not medical treatment. That reframe is what makes the regimen legible as ambitious rather than pathological.
