He became an honorary member of the extended family of Charles Joseph, a Kwakwakaʼwakw artist, and was provided with the name Alestalagie back in 2016.
Jordan had an extreme autoimmune reaction to food in 2016 and was prescribed clonazepam, a benzodiazepine. Later, in order to control his severe depression and the impacts of an autoimmune disorder along with psoriasis and uveitis, he followed a strict diet including just meat and some vegetables advised by his daughter who is a “nutrition ‘influencer’ with no medical credentials”.
In the middle of 2018, he completely cut down on eating vegetables and went on eating just beef, salt, and water.
His prescribed dosage of clonazepam was raised in April 2019 to help him in coping up with anxiety which was because of his wife’s cancer treatment. Later, after a few months, he tried to reduce his intake or avoid the drug consumption entirely which led him to experience “horrific” benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome.
As per his daughter, the family wasn’t able to find doctors in North America who were ready to adapt their diagnosis preference, and thus, in January 2020, Jordan, his daughter, and her husband headed off to Moscow, Russia, for diagnosis where doctors diagnosed Jordan with pneumonia in both lungs after arrival, and he was put into a medically induced coma for 8 days.
Jordan had to spend 4 weeks in the intensive care unit, at that time he reportedly displayed a temporary loss of motor skills.
After a few months of his treatment in Russia, he and his family relocated to Belgrade, Serbia, for further diagnosis. Jordan made his first public appearance in June 2020 in more than a year, when he showed up on his daughter’s podcast, taped in Belgrade.
Jordan stated that he was “back to my regular self”, except for feeling fatigued, and was positive regarding his potential. Further, he said that he sought to inform people regarding the risk of prolonged utilization of benzodiazepine.
