I can tell you exactly why Brian Johnson developed an autoimmune disorder. It's the same reason why Nara Smith's two-year-old daughter developed cancer last year. Back up for a second, my name is Liz, I'm a hematology oncology PA. I've been in medicine for about 25 years now. And I have a lot of experience dealing with patients just like Brian Johnson, who dump all of this money and time and effort into anti-aging and doing it right and eating healthy and monitoring every metric just to be very young and diagnosed with a very serious autoimmune disease or cancer. So what's the underlying reason why did this man who spends two million dollars a year on anti-aging suddenly develop an autoimmune disease? Why did Nara Smith's two-year-old daughter develop cancer? It's because they're both human. There's nothing that they could have done differently to prevent this. They are human and subject to human genetics. Every day our genes interact with millions upon millions of variables in our world and we don't know which one is going to tell our human self to develop an autoimmune disease or develop a cancer. They're human. Enjoy the time that you have on this planet because none of us are guaranteed tomorrow.
