The 34-year-old Twitch streamer Asmongold has been healthy all his life. That is now changing. The Twitch streamer has high blood pressure. He believes he is simply living too unhealthily and needs to change something. He is prepared to take drastic measures.
This is what Asmongold says now: The 34-year-old streamer finds it hard to admit it, but even Asmongold isn’t immortal, despite his immune system being hardened by the hostile environment he lives in and his never being sick in his life. He says he ripped out his own teeth to defeat the Lich King in WoW without taking an annoying break for the dentist:
Twitch streamer Asmongold quips: “Stop watching streams at 3am if you don’t have any money!”

What will Asmongold change? Asmongold announces that he will change his diet. He doesn’t want to give up his sugary soda, which he loves, but he is considering drinking water between 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 cut down on streaming.
He is convinced that this will help him control his blood pressure and his health.
Those who take medication die
What does he definitely not want to do? take medication. Asmongold has some views that seem radical. He believes:
I don’t want to have to take medication. I think that’s the first thing… 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 five medications. That scares him, terribly scared. He believes in the healing power of the human body to survive for a long time. He is 34 now, so he still has a lot ahead of him.
Is he in good health? Even though he plays it down, he seems to have been really worried about his high blood pressure. He now seems to check his blood pressure regularly. In the stream, he also apparently receives a worried call from his father, which he fobs off.
It also sounds serious that he suffers from a collapsed chest and will probably need an operation at some point in his life.
But Asmongold explains: He actually doesn’t want to talk about such topics because they invite parasocial behavior.
Stop drinking what Dr. Pepper prescribes
How is this discussed? Many people actually recommend that he stop drinking soda. He needs to stop taking what “Dr. Pepper” prescribes for him, says one user.
Others say: After 30 years of junk food, soda and bad sleep, it’s the stress that’s causing problems – all clear.
The most liked comment with over 11,000 upvotes says clearly: “Replace the soda with water and you will immediately feel much better.”
Which soda does he love so much? Asmongold himself always speaks only of “soda”, which in German means something like “lemonade”, and does not mention any brand name.
Asmongold once did a big soft drink tier list and number one was “Dr. Pepper” – which is a drink similar to Coke, 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, maybe a bit of licorice and definitely some allspice – the self-description is that they use 23 flavors and combine cherry, cinnamon, marzipan and almonds.
Asmongold is one of the leading gaming streamers in the USA, who speaks from the heart to many young men around the world. But he is also a very tough person who, in many ways, goes his own way, which seems extreme to outsiders. Many fans are closely involved in his life, perhaps a little too closely: Asmongold, king of the nerds, has a new girlfriend and his fans are eyeing her critically
