The self-proclaimed Liver King, a muscular and often shirtless TikTok star named Brian Johnson, amassed millions of followers by promoting an “ancestral” diet of beef brains, bull testicles and raw animal livers.

But recently, Johnson posted a different kind of viral video — an apology. Johnson admitted to taking anabolic steroids, something which he had repeatedly denied in the past. The confessional video has been viewed more than 2.6 million times on YouTube.

Bearded, with bulging abs and biceps, Johnson has been one of the breakout stars of social media this past year, rapidly building his following by claiming that one of the keys to strength, happiness and optimal health is a meat-heavy diet that prioritizes organ meats.

Just another social media influencer faker.

Eta - he is still taking steroids. Supposively has a special drug nutritionist, I thought this stuff was illegal.

1. I wonder if the steroids help with the terrible gout he must have from all the organ meat

2. I'd like see his red blood counts.

Bet they are sky high.

3. I'd like to see him try to run up a hill for any distance.

That 90wt gear oil most people call blood is too busy piggybacking extra cells instead of oxygen.

4. Do as he says he does, you'll get vitman A and iron toxicity

on your way to trying to duplicate the H. erectus diet that we are not designed to emulate and which made the former owner of at least one skeleton that has been excavated extremely ill, the vitamin A toxicity showing up in his oddly swollen bones.

I don't care what this twit eats or doesn't eat. I do care that he's got followers, although I['m sure most of them just watch his vids and reach for the beer and chips, they're not as crazy as he thinks they are.

The OP has likely reached the correct conclusion.
