Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson, released a doctor’s note on Friday detailing his “extremely physically fit” condition.
Johnson’s physician, Dr. Lyle B. Amer of Santa Fe, N.M., said the former state governor suffers from Celiac disease, a genetic disorder that causes intolerance to gluten. Aside from that, the triathlete and Mount Everest climber has no medical issues.
“He is an extremely physically fit and healthy 63-year-old male,” Amer wrote. “Obviously his decades of dedication to physical fitness, diet, no drinking and no smoking have paid dividends as far as his extraordinarily good health at this time of his life.”
The letter also states Johnson exercises for one hour every day, but that he used to workout two hours a day prior to launching his campaign. Johnson’s blood pressure was 100/70 and he weighed in at 172 pounds. His cholesterol levels were not listed. In addition, he is expected to visit with a dermatologist to get screened for skin cancer.
The 63-year-old third-party candidate’s health has not received the wide-spread concern and scrutiny surrounding that of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, but nevertheless Johnson released his medical records after Trump and Clinton did so earlier this month.
Johnson’s doctor did not comment on the candidate’s mental health after two recent memory lapses in public events, which the candidate himself has having an “Aleppo moment.”
