“I’m doing great,” Mathison told Entertainment Tonight in mid-December at the Daytime Emmys. “I had my 4-year cancer checkup so I’m healthy, cancer-free doing great. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. I’ve got more energy than [ever]. I worked really hard at it.”

As Mathison’s social media followers can attest, the actor lives a healthy lifestyle, which includes doing a lot of physical activities like skiing. “It’s a whole lifestyle,” he says. “There’s a lot of ice baths. There’s a lot of stuff.”

Mathison went public with his kidney cancer diagnosis and underwent surgery to deal with the disease. Catching it early played a role in his recovery. “I love spreading [my healthy lifestyle] on Instagram just to kind of motivate other people,” he says. “You know there’s a lot to it.”

The actor is currently taking on a few other projects in addition to his role as Drew on GH, which the actor recently stated he has no plans to vacate. “It’s gonna be busy,” he says. “I’m really fortunate. I got a really cool game show coming out on GSN. I’ve got General Hospital happening…I signed a movie deal with Great American [Family]. I got some Christmas movie[s]. So I’m really fortunate.” (Find out more about that here.)

Mathison recently posted some of his workout regime on his Instagram account. “I’ve been working with Allen [Cress allencress_ifbbpro] and @nuethix_formulations for over two years now and I honestly can’t believe how amazing I feel,” the actor shared. “At 54 I’m stronger and have more energy than in my 30s.

“It’s been quite a health journey (kidney cancer, SIBO, H pylori, mold, hormone imbalance, high blood glucose levels – even on low carb diet with fasting, horrible sleep, extreme fatigue, and more…),” the actor continued. “Grateful to Allen and Nuethix for the game-changing work they are doing 👊🏼🙏🏼 Also a huge thank you to @drclementlee and @inderbirgillmd.”
