      The problem is that any change slowing down the metabolism would be deleterious in nature: no/slower body heating, lower brain capabilities, slower healing, increased reaction times, etc.

      As a rough comparison, it’s like trying to reduce the energy demand of a computer. There’s some room for optimisation but eventually the only way to do it is by reducing the amount of things that it does, by throttling its components.
