Brian Johnson, more popularly known as Liver King, was recently featured in a Netflix documentary that explores his infamous rise on social media. The fitness social media influencer is known for promoting a diet of raw meat with a special focus on consuming liver daily.

His take on an ancestral lifestyle based on nine tenets found itself in a scandal in 2022. For years, he had denied using steroids to attain his desired physique. But in 2022, many private emails were leaked. They revealed that the Liver King had, in fact, spent more than $11,000 monthly on steroids as well as other performance-enhancing drugs.

What followed was a YouTube video where he admitted to using such substances and apologised for misleading his audience. The Netflix documentary goes into the depths of his social media journey and his plans to redeem himself post-scandal.

Towards the end of the documentary, Liver King shares that he no longer takes steroids and other substances. He has even moved away from a pure carnivore diet and now includes fruits and vegetables in his meals.

His recent Instagram reel shared an update on what life is like for him after the documentary. He shared that his family had agreed to be a part of the documentary and that most of what was shown is true. He still believes that liver is an essential source of nutrition.

He and his family continue to eat every part of any animal that they consume. However, they are not the same people as the people in the documentary. They have evolved with time. 

The name given to him, ‘Liver King’, did not matter to him as much as the message he wished to propagate. He still holds great regard for the ancestral tenets. Still believing that they bring immense positive change into life, he asked his followers to inculcate them in their lives
