LOS ANGELES, August 3, 2026 – Johnjay Van Es, co-host of the Premiere Networks-syndicated The Johnjay & Rich Show, was the featured guest on the most recent episode of the Emmy-nominated NBC series Forever Young. In Season 1, Episode 23, titled “VO2 Max: The Oxygen Engine of Youth,” Dr. Pablo Prichard puts Johnjay to the test to assess his cardiovascular fitness, one of the strongest indicators of longevity, stamina, physical resilience, and healthy aging.
Johnjay, who has been on a health journey after losing his father to a heart attack and his mother to brain cancer (both at the age of 66), underwent a series of tests to establish a baseline and was provided with tools to improve his VO2 max. Since taping the show in April, Johnjay has lost 30 pounds and continues his journey toward a longer, healthier life with his wife and children.
