58-YO Troy Aikman’s Latest Health Reveal Sparks Curiosity Over Experimental Therapy

4 min read

At first glance, you’d think Troy Aikman just walked off the field after a light practice in The Lone Star State. At 58, the Cowboys legend still has that Sunday-ready glow—and now fans from all corners of Cowboy Nation want to know how. Sure, a clean diet, uh….to be precise, a “Pegan” diet (hybrid of the Paleo and Vegan diets), and solid workouts can explain part of it. But his latest Instagram post suggests something much more advanced is in play. No, it’s not your typical protein shake and treadmill combo—this one’s way more high-tech.

Just a few months back, Aikman dropped a snapshot that had folks talking across The Star. Aikman, with tubes hooked into his arm, sat in a recliner at Next Health, a futuristic longevity clinic in Los Angeles, as Dr. Darshan Shah stood next to him. It wasn’t just a casual visit either—he was undergoing a unique procedure called Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE). Naturally, Aikman had to give some context, and the Hall of Famer didn’t hold back.

“Spent the day at NextHealth, a clinic Dr. Shah founded about a decade ago to optimize health and longevity,” Aikman captioned. “One of the treatments — Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) — an ‘oil change’ for your blood, which is designed to reduce inflammation, slow the aging process, and support overall well-being.” Fast forward to now, and Aikman’s back at it.

Once again, he posted a photo from inside Next Health. This time with a shorter caption but the same mystique: “NextHealth, next level.” The post had fans hyped, “Ooooo!!! I wanna try the blood plasma exchange,” one commented. Dr. Shah also jumped in, replying, “Thanks for coming in Troy!” Still, the Super Bowl champ kept his routine and results to himself, adding a little mystery to the method.

But here’s the kicker—whatever he’s doing seems to be working. Aikman doesn’t just look younger; he looks refreshed. TPE, originally used to treat autoimmune diseases, works by filtering inflammatory elements out of your plasma and replacing them, basically giving your blood a clean slate. It’s medical science with a biohacker’s twist. But Aikman isn’t just focused on himself.

Troy Aikman shares a major health warning to America

Troy Aikman spent years calling plays at Texas Stadium—but now he’s calling out something far more personal. The Cowboys legend, who once chased titles under the bright lights in The Lone Star State, is chasing truth with his light beer brand EIGHT. And this time, the message is clear: it’s time Americans started questioning what’s really in their beer. “There’s a lot of noise out there,” Aikman hinted in the past—but behind the branding and cold cans, he’s sounding a major health alarm.

Now, he’s not pulling punches either. Aikman took to Instagram recently and put Big Beer on blast. Over a slow-pour video clip, he added a blunt voiceover: “Sugars in our diet are making Americans unhealthy—and big light beers are still brewed with exactly that: unnecessary additives like corn syrup and rice.”

Not stopping there, Aikman followed up on X. He posted a clean shot of EIGHT, alongside a note that reinforced his push for transparency: “Appreciate the @WSJ shoutout on the rise of light beer. EIGHT’s leading the way — additive-free: no corn, no rice, no sweeteners. Just clean, crisp beer the way it should be.” His point wasn’t just to market—it was to wake people up.

So naturally, he brought in backup. His longtime broadcast partner, Joe Buck, joined him in a fun social media ad. Buck walks into a bar and asks Aikman what he’s drinking. Troy smiles and says, “Eight, Joe. Crisp taste, clean ingredients, additive free.” Finally, Buck wraps it up with a classic: “Perfect 10.” It’s cheeky, sure—but the numbers are no joke. At 90 calories and 2.6 carbs, EIGHT is Aikman’s new playbook.
