In a hospital bed, dying of liver failure\u2026 What some people might be surprised by is how well I\u2019ve managed to turn my life and health around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whibley explained that he considers himself \u201clucky\u201d to have escaped without permanent damage, noting that his body essentially shut down to protect itself. He added that the liver\u2019s ability to regenerate played a major role in his recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\nNow, after years of consistent training, sobriety and a strict wellness routine, the musician says his biological age is almost a decade younger than his real one \u2014 and he\u2019s aiming to push that even further.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe continued: \u201cAs of this year, I\u2019m proud to say\u2026 my body is now operating almost eight years younger than my actual age. My arteries are as clear as a 16\u2011year\u2011old! In 2026 I plan on tweaking the few things that are holding me back from being a full decade younger inside!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nWhibley stressed that his transformation isn\u2019t the result of extreme trends or experimental methods, but simple, steady commitment.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe went on: \u201cI\u2019m not trying to do any \u2018biohacking,\u2019 just practicing healthy discipline and consistency\u2026 Point of all this is: anything is f****** possible.
