Who Is Liver King?
Brian Johnson, more famously known by his online nickname Liver King, is an American fitness influencer and businessman who has earned internet fame for developing and promoting what he calls an “ancestral lifestyle.”
Liver King’s ancestral lifestyle primarily includes eating vast amounts of raw meat and animal organs daily, particularly liver. That’s the same diet consumed by our ancestors, especially before the invention of fire.
But Liver King’s “ancestral lifestyle” doesn’t only entail meat eating. It’s a holistic concept based on nine tenets. They include eating, sleeping, moving about, protection from danger, connection to nature, getting cold, getting sunshine, fighting, and bonding with the tribe.
Johnson attributes his muscular and well-toned physique to his so-called “ancestral tenets.” That’s despite widespread criticism from numerous nutritionists who call him out for promoting a potentially dangerous diet.
For a person who has dedicated himself to following the early man’s lifestyle, many people have often wondered, ‘does Liver King have a wife?’ The answer is yes, and this article sheds more light on her.
Who Is Liver King’s Wife?
Liver King is married to Barbara Johnson, who’s more famously known as Liver Queen. We’ll explain later on how Barbara earned her ‘Liver Queen’ nickname.
Like many celebrity spouses, Barbara Johnson was largely unknown until her marriage to Liver King. She has since gained online recognition, not only for her husband’s rather unconventional lifestyle but also because she has since come to identify with it.
Barbara Johnson’s Early Life and Education Background

Barbara Johnson is a Polish-American who was born in Warsaw, Poland. Her exact date of birth is unknown. However, Barbara is in her early 40s, which makes her a few years younger than her husband Brian who was born in 1978.
There’s limited information on Barbara’s early education. Some sources indicate that she might have received her elementary and high school education (or their equivalences) in Poland before moving to the United States for her college education.
Barbara attended Stony Brook University in New York, where she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery.
Barbara Johnson’s Professional Career
Barbara Johnson began her career as a dentist after graduating from Stony Brook University.
After marrying Brian, the duo started a family dental practice business in Houston, Texas, known as Dentiq Dentistry. They reportedly pumped an initial investment of $500,000 into the startup, which came from savings from their previous jobs. The business took off immediately, hitting $1.2 million in revenue within the first year and up to $5.2 million within three years.
In 2010, Barbara and her husband sold their Dentiq Dentistry business for an undisclosed amount to launch a supplement startup. Six years later, the duo founded Ancestral Living, a small Texas-based business dealing in supplements formulated from animal meat and organs. Sources indicate that the business is raking in north of $100 million in annual revenue.
Barbara and her husband have jointly launched several other supplement brands, many of which are performing exceptionally well. They include Heart & Soul, The Fittest, and The Medicine Man Plant Company.
When Did Barbara And Brian Meet?
Barbara met her husband Brian back in 2004. At the time, she was working at her dental practice while her then future-husband was working at a pharmaceutical company after dropping out of medical school.
The couple met while snowboarding and they reportedly hit it off immediately. They married the same year.
How Has Barbara’s Marriage to Brian Been Like?
Barbara and Brian have enjoyed a fruitful marriage since they tied the knot close to two decades ago. Happiness and a sense of unity are written all over the couple’s faces, as is evidenced by their joint online appearances.
The Johnsons have also pursued multiple entrepreneurial ventures together. It certainly takes a united family to achieve such feats.
It’s also to be noted that Barbara now identifies with her husband’s quirky way of life. That removes any lingering doubts as to her devotion to the marriage.
Do Barbara And Brian Have Children Together?

Barbara and Brian Johnson have two sons together. The eldest child, Stryker Johnson, was born in 2007 while the younger one, Rad Johnson, was born in 2009. They’re famously known as the Liver Boys.
The Johnsons are also pet lovers who live with four Dobermans pets.
Why Is Barbara Called the ‘Liver Queen?’
Barbara Johnson is married to a man nicknamed the Liver King. So, by default, her alias would be Liver Queen.
But the real reason Barbara earned the title ‘Liver Queen’ is that she has since embraced her husband’s ancestral lifestyle. Like Brian, Barbara is often seen consuming huge amounts of raw meat while also observing the other eight tenets of their so-called “ancestral lifestyle.”
In fact, the couple has gone as far as to introduce their kids to the ancestral lifestyle. That explains how their children earned the nickname ‘Liver Boys.’
Where Do The Johnsons’ Live?
Barbara lives with her husband Brian as well as their two sons and pets in a Spanish revival-style home in Austin, Texas. The home sits on an 8,300-square feet area and features a complete set of amenities, including a pool and a small lake.
Predictably, the property has been styled to mimic the early man’s abode. For instance, the beds are wooden slats.
In addition to their primary residence, the Johnsons also own a 5 – 10 acres ranch that they use to raise livestock. However, information on the property’s location isn’t publicly available.
