Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson reveals disappointing issues of intestinal health

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had a digestive issue that he could not hit – and no answers to his eyes.

Johnson, one of the biggest stars of WWE and Hollywood, opened for his health journey during a last conversation with the man who saw him on the other hand in Dr. Mark Hyman.

The 53-year-old, after years of intestinal issue, had a conversation with the former agent and long business partner Ari Emanuel for him in late 2023.

“He’s like, ‘what’s going on?’ I said, ‘I’ve seen doctors and I can’t nail it.

Emanuel, CEO of Agave and WWE, TKO’s parent company, mentioned to see Hyman, who practices functional medicine.

Both were finally linked for a virtual visit.

Johnson admitted that he knew nothing about functional medicine, which, according to the Institute for Functional Medicine, provides a framework to systematically identify and address the basic processes and malfunctions that are causing imbalances and diseases in each individual.

“You said, in summary,” I will not treat your symptoms. I will go deeper than that and treat the root cause of what is happening, “Johnson said.” And I said, “I love it.” “

The treatment began in early 2024, with Johnson determined to start his “Boss Final” race in Wrestlemania 40 with WWE. Arriving in what Johnson was holding back took some heavy excavations, Hyman noted. They made blood panels and a stool test, among other things, to reach the source of the problem.

Johnson was in a exhausting year with WWE’s engagements, the publication of “Red One” and “Moana 2”, and filming for his next movie “Smashing Machine”.

“It was in early 2024, and I was just getting ready to start what would become a nine-month load for me-non-stop work,” Johnson said. “And I was thinking, ‘saint s – t, how will I pass this with my intestinal issues? “

Fortunately, Hyman was able to provide Johnson some relief, finding the matter began after he received numerous rounds of antibiotics, which abducted with the bacteria in his intestine. He lacked akkermansia, which wears intestinal lining and protects against inflammation and a running intestine, Hyman said.

“We essentially rehabilitated your bowel. I gave you probiotics and herbal compounds – possession, green tea, blueberry – to help rebuild it,” Hyman said. “And we made you this amazing shake of bowel health with 10-plus personalized ingredients for you.”

Johnson has not fought in WWE since then, but it was John Cena’s heel catalyst earlier this year.
