HS interviewed Johnson about his “don’t die” lifestyle in 2023. At that time, he said, for example, that he had received plasma transfusions from his son and that he had undergone stem cell therapy. A team of doctors also monitored Johnson’s values ​​daily. Johnson sells the supplements he uses on his own website.

The professors interviewed by HS at the time were skeptical about the lifestyle.
