Jordan Peterson’s health mystery is a cautionary tale — with some convinced risky biohacking experiments contributed to his problems
Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson's health issues have sparked speculation that his experimentation with biohacking and unconventional medical treatments may have contributed to his decline. Peterson's family attributes his condition to akathisia, a medication-induced movement disorder resulting from his addiction to Benzodiazepines.
Jordan Peterson, a 63-year-old Canadian psychologist, has been absent from the public eye, fueling speculation about his health. He has experimented with biohacking trends, including all-meat diets, peptide amino acid supplements, and stem cell injections. Peterson's family claims he suffers from akathisia, a medication-induced movement disorder caused by his addiction to Benzodiazepines, which he began taking in 2017. To overcome his addiction, Peterson underwent unconventional treatments, including a medically induced coma in Russia using propofol and a complex cocktail of sedatives, antidepressants, and opiates in a Serbian clinic. In 2025, Peterson was hospitalized with pneumonia and sepsis and spent nearly a month in the ICU. His daughter announced he was taking time off due to a severe CIRS flare-up. Independent reporter Scott Carney suggests that Peterson's treatments may have had more significant effects than his family acknowledges, citing his daughter's admission that he received numerous stem cell treatments while becoming progressively sicker.
