At the end of 2023, Johnson spoke on the subject with Ari Emanuel, his exagent and business partner. Emanuel, who is CEO of Endeavor (WWE parent company), recommended contacting a doctor named Mark HymanSpecialist in Functional Medicine.
Johnson accepted and had a virtual consultation with Hyman. He admitted that he did not know anything about functional medicine, a branch that, according to the institute that represents it, seeks to treat not only the symptoms, but also the deep causes of diseases. “You said something very clear: ‘I will not treat your symptoms. I will be deeper and treat the root of the problem.’ And I said: ‘I love it'” “Johnson recalled.

The treatment began at the beginning of 2024, just when the fighter prepared to return to WWE with his participation in the road to Wrestlemania 40. During that time, he also worked in films such as Red One, Moana 2 and The Smashing Machine, which left him a very demanding calendar.
“It was the beginning of a nine -month work period without stopping”said. “And I thought: ‘How am I going to endure this with my digestive problems? I am not saying well'”.
To find the origin of the problem, Hyman performed several analyzes, such as blood and stool exams. Finally, they discovered that Johnson He had lost certain good bacteria in his intestine due to repeated use of antibiotics. In particular, he lacked a bacterium called Akkermansia, which protects the intestine from inflammation and damage.

“We basically rehabilitate your intestine”Hyman explained. “We gave you probiotics and plant compounds such as grenade, green tea and blueberry to help rebuild it. And we prepare a special shake for intestinal health with more than 10 custom ingredients”.
Although since then Johnson has not fought again in WWE, he has been part of important moments in the company, such as John Cena’s character.
At present, it seems that he finally managed to overcome the problem that afflicted him for years.
