Episode 12: The Story Behind the Infamous Liver King, Steroids, and Their Impact on Our Health

Liver King, formally known as Brian Johnson is now an infamous health and wellness influencer who struck fame in mid 2020 with his outlandish, viral videos of eating raw liver and other meats. He has made it his life purpose to spread his nine ancestral tenants and encourage everyone to eat raw meat, just like our ancestors did. What he doesn't want you to know is that his muscular physique comes from the use of anabolic steroids and hormone injections, all while cashing in on his multiple million dollar supplement companies. In this episode we learn more about Liver King's past and how his impact sends a dangerous message to the wellness community.
