Newly-minted 90 Day Fiancé franchise star Steven Johnston recently took to Instagram to share the health problems he’s been facing due to his appetite, or rather, lack of appetite. On The Other Waynew couple Steven and Alina have divided fans, but Steven’s problematic eating habits are nothing to scoff at. What you eat (or don’t eat) can have a big impact on your overall health, and if Steven’s gone so far as to seek medical attention for his absent appetite, clearly his struggles are significant.

On The Other Way, Steven and Alina’s unconventional plan to be together has viewers scratching their heads, because neither one of them seems mature enough for marriage. Due to tricky immigration restrictions, Steven is unable to move to Russia and Alina is unable to move to the U.S. So, the couple decided to move to Turkey and get married there. However, there are many aspects about Steven’s personality in particular are controversial and his recent “skoodilypoop” chat with Alina creeped fans out.

There are many reasons why Steven’s appetite may have taken a dive, but one possible culprit is stress. Recently, Alina hinted at trouble with Steven in a cryptic Instagram message, so perhaps relationship woes are impacting his health. Steven has also been the subject of intense criticism from fans which, deserved or not, would be hard for anyone to go through. If Steven’s loss of appetite really is that severe, he’s made the right decision to go to a doctor and get professional advice.

The new 90 Day Fiancé star’s health problems could have any number of reasons, so it’s no surprise that Steven decided to open up to his followers to get their ideas and advice before he goes to the doctor.
