21. I couldn't find where in your link he claimed to be "perfectly healthy".

The closest I could find was the following quote:

The next day, he spoke frankly about his efforts to lose weight and described himself as "remarkably healthy," but he also acknowledged his doctor "continues to warn me that my luck is going to run out relatively soon."

I think that this is not an uncommon situation. Someone overweight is healthy right now but concerned that this may change if they don't take some action.

I wish Christie well in his quest for good health.
