In “Untold: The Liver King“, Brian Johnson believes in the primal lifestyle. Brian Johnson is a fitness influencer who gained a reputation as “The Liver King”. His philosophy revolved around consuming raw meat (including liver and other organs) and embracing primal or “ancestral” living practices. He has an impressive muscular physique, and his claims about achieving peak human performance have captivated many. (Although some like me are not impressed and would not dare follow his example.)
You could say that Johnson started out “normal”. He was a biochemistry student and a pharmaceutical representative. But why be boring and average when you can create a sensational online persona via social media and a business, Heart & Soil, selling supplements that generated millions annually? The series reveals the unpleasant side of Johnson’s fame that most people didn’t see. There are interviews with Johnson, his family, and associates that raise questions about his “authenticity”.
