The 34-year-old Twitch streamer Asmongold has been healthy all his life. That is changing now. The Twitch streamer has high blood pressure. He believes he is just living too unhealthily and needs to make a change. He is ready for drastic measures.
This is what Asmongold says now: The 34-year-old streamer finds it hard to admit, but even Asmongold is not immortal, although his immune system is hardened by the hostile environment in which he lives and he has never been sick in his life. He says he ripped his own teeth out to defeat the Lich King in WoW without taking an annoying break for the dentist:
- But he was shocked now when he had chest pains and 170 blood pressure. He ended the stream early and went to the emergency room.
- The diagnosis was: too much stress – Asmongold emphasizes that the stream and the many conflicts he gets into do not stress him, but “the whole stuff around it” – he has his own streaming group that sells PCs.
- Asmongold is now going to change his life.
What is Asmongold going to change? Asmongold announces that he will change his diet. While he does not want to give up his sugary soda, which he loves, he is considering drinking water between two sodas – at least until he has reduced the stress problem in his life.
He also wants to exercise, go for longer walks more often, and slow down his streaming.
He is convinced that he can get his blood pressure and health under control this way.
Those who take medication die
What does he definitely not want to do? Take medications. Asmongold has some views that seem radical. He believes:
I don’t want to have to take medication. I think that’s the first…. People who take medication die – that’s how I see it.
In his circle of friends, there are people younger than him who take up to 5 medications. That scares him, terrifies him. He believes in the healing power of the human body to survive for a long time. He is now 34, so he has a lot ahead of him.
Is he doing well health-wise? Even though he downplays it, he seems to have been really worried about his high blood pressure. He seems to be regularly checking his blood pressure now. In the stream, he apparently also receives a concerned call from his father, which he brushes off.
It also sounds serious that he suffers from a sunken chest and will probably need surgery someday in his life.
But Asmongold explains: Actually, he doesn’t want to talk about such topics at all because they invite parasocial behavior.
Stop drinking what Dr. Pepper prescribes to you
How is this discussed? Many actually recommend that he stop drinking soda. He has to stop taking what “Dr. Pepper” prescribes to him, says one user.
Others say: After 30 years of junk food, soda, and poor sleep, it is stress that causes problems – all clear.
The most liked comment with over 11,000 upvotes clearly states: “Replace the soda with water and you’ll feel much better immediately.”
Which soda does he love so much? Asmongold himself only speaks of “soda,” which means “soda” in German, and does not mention any brand name.
Asmongold once made a large soft drink tier list and at the top was “Dr. Pepper” – it is a drink similar to cola, but claims to be its own drink. They would like it to be called “pepper soda”.
On the internet, the taste of Dr. Pepper is described as a hint of cherry, perhaps a bit of licorice, and definitely something allspice
– the self-description is that they use 23 flavors and play together cherry, cinnamon, marzipan, and almonds.
Asmongold is one of the leading gaming streamers in the USA, speaking to the hearts of many young men worldwide. But he is also a very extreme person, going his own way in many respects that seems extreme to outsiders. Many fans are closely involved in his life, perhaps a bit too closely: Asmongold, King of Nerds, has a new girlfriend and his fans are critically observing her
