Netflix is about to release a new documentary about ‘the Liver King’ (Picture: Netflix)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An influencer who rose to fame for eating large amounts of raw unprocessed organs and meat<\/a> is the subject of a new Netflix documentary<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brian Johnson, best known by his online alias Liver King, is an American fitness social media<\/a> influencer and businessman.<\/p>\n

He lives according to the \u2018nine ancestral tenants \u2013 to eat, sleep, move, shine, connect, cold, sun, fight, and bond.<\/p>\n

With six million followers on TikTok<\/a>, he\u2019s become known for promoting what he calls an \u2018ancestral lifestyle\u2019 by eating a pound (450 grams) of raw liver each day alongside large amounts of other meat items including bone marrow and even bull testicles.<\/p>\n

However, he\u2019s also been slammed by nutritionists, who say he is spreading potentially dangerous misinformation due to the risks of bacterial infection, an increased risk of heart disease and high cholesterol levels, as well as an additional risk of digestive issues.<\/p>\n
