Netflix's "Don’t Die" and BodySpec: Tracking Your Own Journey Toward Longevity

The new Netflix documentary "Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever" has sparked conversations about longevity, hyper-regimented health routines, and the boundaries of biohacking. Bryan Johnson, the subject of the film, pushes the extremes of technology and wellness, blending a dizzying array of treatments and protocols in his pursuit to reverse aging. But while Johnson’s methods may not be for everyone, one thing is clear: understanding your body is the foundation for any longevity journey.

What “Don’t Die” Gets Right: Tracking & Data are the Foundation

At its core, "Don’t Die" emphasizes one critical idea—tracking matters. Johnson’s focus on metrics reflects the growing trend toward quantified self-care. Whether it’s muscle composition, fat percentages, or bone density, knowing where you stand is the first step to making informed decisions about your health.

That’s where BodySpec comes in. BodySpec offers precise, accessible, and science-backed DEXA scans to help you monitor your body composition. In just 10 minutes, you can gain actionable insights into your lean muscle mass, visceral fat, and bone strength—metrics essential for anyone interested in health optimization.

A Practical Approach to Longevity

While "Don’t Die" delves into controversial practices like plasma exchanges and experimental gene therapy, longevity doesn’t have to involve dramatic interventions. Many health improvements come from small, sustainable steps—like building muscle, reducing visceral fat, and maintaining bone health.

BodySpec empowers you to take a practical, data-driven approach:

  • Track Muscle Health: Build strength and longevity with precise data on lean mass.
  • Understand Visceral Fat: Manage dangerous hidden fat associated with chronic disease.
  • Monitor Bone Density: Protect against fractures and maintain mobility as you age.

Is Longevity Science for You?

The desire to live a longer, healthier life resonates with many of us. The good news? You don’t need to adopt a hyper-regimented routine to start your journey. With BodySpec, you can get the clarity you need to make impactful, long-term changes without breaking the bank—or your spirit.

Whether you’re inspired by the documentary or simply curious about your health metrics, a BodySpec scan is the perfect way to take control of your wellness journey. After all, longevity begins with knowledge.
