As long as Liver King (real name Brain Johnson) has been in the public eye, suspicion of steroid abuse has been with anyone with a working eye.
After endless denials this week, the 45-year-old “fitness cheater” was forced to face music. A YouTube video of him titled “The Liver King Lie” posted by Derek Other Plates Other Dates (See below) revealed the full extent of his deception and completed an email exchange/confession detailing his steroid consumption.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the ongoing drama:

Who is the King of Liver?
With an impressive 1.7 million followers on Instagram and a total of 3.5 million followers on TikTok, Liver King is a US-based bodybuilder, controversial fitness influencer, and “ancestor”. and build a following who preach the “primitive” lifestyle.
What exactly is “ancestral life”?
Essentially, River King has preached a stable organic diet of raw liver and testicles with a strict exercise regime.
This is marketed as “Ancestral Life”, and any gullible believe it will have surprising consequences for the King of the Liver himself. I believe the king of liver is witty (natural). He also invests in Liver King’s online business, his Ancestral Supplements.
The “essential pillars of a healthy and happy life” are:
- sleepy
- eat
- move
- shield
- connection
- Cold
- Sun
- fight
- hook up
Liver King Leaked Email
Below is the transcript of the leaked email that made the headline.

subject: RE: CONFIDENTIALITY… [REDACTED]
I was so happy. thank you very much!
Please tell me the date and time suitable for consultation?
I live in the Republic of Texas (Houston), so I’m CST/CDT (I think I’m 12 hours late). This is an absolute priority for me so I am canceling pretty much everything that was planned to make this happen with you. My preferred times are Wednesdays CST 7am, 8am, Or 9am, but you could easily do it at 6pm or 7pm almost any time. In your time, I’d say 7pm, 8pm, or 9pm on Thursdays, or 6am or 7am on almost any morning of the week. Check my calculations for that. It’s outside your normal hours, so I’ll be happy to compensate.
So let’s dig in…
As it relates to my goals, I am the face of several brands, including Ancestry Supplements, and building the Liver King brand with a target of 1 million followers by March 2022. I just hired a team to Resources to help make this happen include a video guy who will live in my guesthouse and a host of film crews who will film him 7 days a month…-2 months/year off). Here’s a clip of where I am currently:

I have been exercising for 35 years. I know how to eat, train, rest, and recover (I even have a hard-shell hyperbaric chamber in my house)… but… once I reach my mid-40s, it gets harder and harder and back fat kills me. To support these intensive efforts, I recently started taking Omnitrop… 5.8 mg vials from Empower Pharmacy (4 vials/week – 16 vials/month new dose for $11,000 USD/month) 16,000 AUD). I’m not sure if this shit is grossly underdosed or what, but I take two vials a week and my IGF-I is only 139 (see recent labs below). The doctor said you can double it to get above 200/below 300. She thinks I might be a hyper non-responder??? I wonder if taking other peptides in high doses could confound the results and interfere with efficacy. , here’s what I’m currently taking:…
- IGF-1 LR – I’ve been taking this for a year
- CJC w/ Imap – I have been taking this for a year
- Ibutamoren – I have been taking this for 2 months
- Omnitrop – I have been taking this for 6 weeks
- Test cyp 0.6cc/week (cruising dose)
- Decca 0.6cc/week – I have been taking this for 3 weeks
- Winstrol 50mg/day (just started this) – been taking this for 3 weeks
My blood sugar (which is about 74 every morning) and insulin are great. I think so because I’m metabolically fit… Some doctors think my insulin is too low, but that’s because I’m working and I’m very insulin sensitive. I think that’s why… So I train twice a day, 6 days a week, and walk 10-12 miles on my rest days. Can you help me adjust my PED and growth hormone protocol to maximize results?
Deny Until You Die: Liver King’s Response to Allegations
In the past, River King’s denials were playful jokes. please forgive my take On the podcast, he dodged accusations by saying:
Now that there is hard evidence that it could cause damages quantifiable in dollars and cents, Liver King is forced to respond in a conservative manner. “
“Oddly enough, I am grateful for recent events that have shed light on this complex topic,” he said of his steroid abuse.
Still, we’ve yet to get a substantive answer addressing everything that’s gone down in the last few days.
