Joe Rogan Experience #2424 - Jelly Roll

I just really feel like we might have a chance here to like really help some
people that were
big you know what I mean like that in this pod we might have a chance to like a
million percent so
I brought a bunch of notes about what I went through so don't look at me like a
super nerd
but I want to make sure I got my I want to help people dude I just man I never
thought I'd lose
this like a dude with notes especially a dude who lost 300 fucking pounds let's
go baby let's go look
at you dude I feel great yo you should feel great I feel really really good
dude you're a totally
doing human being it is man well you know what's crazy I don't want to get
super spiritual out the
gate but I will because I think God wants me to right now because you're saying
that there's a
scripture in the Bible that says uh in Christ all things are a new creation
which I thought was
interesting because it didn't talk about restoring the old it says that in God
we are a completely new
creation you know what I mean so like I was looking at it at first like I'm
restoring my heart but then
when you're saying that I'm like no I didn't restore my heart I got a whole new
heart this is a brand new
heart Joe you know what I mean yeah it might be cloaked as the old one but God
touched it it's a whole
new heart baby well it's a different heart every seven years doesn't every cell
in your body get
replaced by new cells isn't that what the number is that's crazy it happens on
our sponsor perplexity
and find out that's nonsense but I think that's true I think that's what
happens so you do have a
chance to be a new human being and think that it would happen on a holy number
like it's a myth
god no shit every seven years is a myth different cell types of very different
lifespans and some
last a lifetime I think neurons last a lifetime seven-year figure is a rough
average estimate of
cell age okay so it's not a total myth not a fixed cycle where everything
swapped out all at once some
tissues renew very fast while others renew slow slowly or hardly at all which
averages out to several
years if you look at all the cells together so intestinal lining cells renew
every two to five days wow
stomach lining turns over roughly every two to nine days skin surface cells
replace roughly every few
weeks liver cells are typically renewed on time scales of many months up to a
few years bone cells take up to
a decade to fully remodel the skeleton muscles and cells anyway cells are
changing all the time
God it's constantly renewing baby yeah feels good man a whole different human
we were talking about it
when I first came to your club I couldn't walk all the way up the steps without
stopping like every
seventh step and today was my um me and cam did my first 10k yesterday we did a
little bit over did
six five so today was recovery run day I did two and a half miles just having a
conversation with you
while you're swinging kettlebells I was like look at who I am Joe I'm a whole
new guy yeah just chilling
doing two and a half miles on a treadmill just watching the yeah the Peter Jan
fight again and
you you love again you had a nice pace you look casual doing it feel good yeah
you could tell you've been
working you know it's not like a new thing your body's acclimated to it you
could really tell
it's like and I heard Tony Robbins once say that we grossly overestimate what
we can do in a year and
we underestimate what we can do in a decade and for people that might be
listening to this that are
dealing with severe obesity I want to give you this game you will grossly overestimate
what you can do
in 90 days but underestimating what you can do in a year when it comes to your
health like it was right
around my 30 I turned 41 three days ago and it was right around my 39th
birthday that I started really
considering taking the step to try to make a major change in my life and I
thought about it around
my birthday because I knew my next one was 40 you know what I mean and I was
like I don't think I've
ever met a 500 pound 40 year old they don't you know around very often usually
that's when they it's
about it off no that's when it and it felt like I'd already cheated the game I'd
had multiple heart
issues you know and I was like man I should I should really start trying to
figure this out I felt like
I could feel myself dying Joe you know and it was crazy because I spent most of
my life thinking that
I when I get to this point or that if I never thought I'd get to this point we'll
start there
as far as success but I even your hands look smaller dude you have new hands I've
had to change my aura
ring size five times in this process I've changed clothes for two years
straight I'm looking at your
hands I'm like he has different size hands it's crazy everything dude I haven't
seen you in how long
it's been at least a year and a half it's been a year and a half we did the pod
I was I was I was in
this pod bragging about being 420 pounds because I'd lost 120 pounds and I was
in here excited about
those 120 you know and I would have never guessed it I've lost Ilya Teporia
since then you know what I'm
saying I've lost a whole nother it's a whole nother when my chef said it best
he said when Charles
Oliveira fell off of Michael Chandler's back that was what you lost in the last
since the last time you've
seen Joe be like if a Michael Chandler just jumped off your shoulders crazy it's
crazy Joe crazy when
I go walk with my dog I put a 45 pound plate on a pack and when I get done with
the walk I take it
off I'm like whoo that ain't shit you were walking around with an extra 300
fucking pounds Cam said
this yesterday was so funny he said he said you know why you're inspiring so
many people he said think
about how much David Goggins inspired people because he went from 300 pounds to
getting in
shape he said and you've lost David Goggins at his biggest I'd never even
thought of it that yeah I
was like right wow I was like yeah that's a whole you lost a whole David Goggins
dude my surgeon said I
have 35 pounds of skin on me now wow I mean you've seen it I showed you yeah I
showed you my stuff but
it's like it's crazy dude that's great just 30 pounds pounds five pounds of
extra skin just extra
that's crazy it's just hanging off the front of me right now whoo somebody said
doesn't that hurt I
was like not as bad as the 500 that was hanging I'll take these 35 over that
all day dude way way fair
change so what was you you knew you were doing bad you knew your body was not
it was not going
to be able to function at that weight for very much longer and so what was the
pivotal moment where
you made this decision here's this is good this is why I wanted to do this with
you thank you for
letting me have this space because this is what I want people to hear is that
every time I thought I had a critical
moment it was a it was an emotional moment so I'd get all fired up I've been
trying to lose this way my
whole life and I and I'd yo-yo 50 70 pounds down go back up me and my my
nutritionist Ian Larios were
looking at notes yesterday I spent most of 2022 between 480 and 560 pounds like
that year that's
how much I fluctuated just a year up and down crazy you know so it's like I was
just such a so when I sat
down and try to lose it this time I said I'm gonna take a different approach I'm
gonna really take my
time with it and I'm gonna think about what I'm doing and be intentional I'm
not gonna let it be an
emotional thing where you just jump up and go I'm gonna go running to do and do
to do and I was like
let me let me figure this out and clearly I've dealt with drug addiction so I
was like maybe there's
something here like how come um I actually have this in my notes overeating
wasn't a failure of
willpower for me it was a biological loop that I didn't know how to interrupt
that's a good way to
put it you know what I mean the problem with food addiction as opposed to every
other addiction is
that you have to keep doing the thing you're addicted to it's the only one it's
everywhere yeah not that
crack isn't everywhere and heroin isn't everywhere but it's not I've never
there's not heroin on this
table you know what I'm saying there's a cookie on here somewhere there has
been yeah but food is
something that you need to sustain you to keep alive like imagine if you were a
gambling addict
but you had to play a few hands of blackjack every day every day that's crazy
yeah like you had to
like you gotta play at least two day alive yeah so stay alive you can imagine I
started and with that
mentality I said well the first thing I'll do is let me you know how can I cut
back how much I'm eating and
less less eating periods but the first thing I did was started every time I
said I was gonna lose the
weight Joe I said I lied to myself we talked about this I would tell myself I'm
gonna do this I'm gonna
go do that and then I'd go tell my family that so the lie started with me
though you know there's there's
a big person listening to this right now or a drug addict or somebody who wants
to change some part of
their life that right now is going I'm gonna start next Monday you know or I'm
gonna start Friday or I'm gonna
start they have a start date they you know they've and then that Monday comes
and they never do it I told you I was like
every other fat fuck even when I finally did it on Friday I was like Monday I'm
waking up and changing my life and I
was like but I had an idea I was like I'm not cutting out food I'm not dealing
with nothing crazy I'm gonna do two
small things first I'm gonna cold plunge because I've been watching Dana White
do it and it seems to be working for him
that's how just naive I was the whole thing first I was like Dana's cold plunging
he got in shape I was like and I
reached out to Gary immediately like right around that 39th birthday I reached
out to
Gary Brekka and I just sent a message to Brekka Blind that said do you work
with fat people I hadn't seen a
real case study of fat people yet and lucky for me Alina their daughter him and
Sage's daughter was a
country music fan so she comes in like you ever heard of Jelly Roll and they're
like no she's like you got to
listen to this song and then you got to help him so Gary called and Gary was
like and I
said Gary I'm gonna start but he said just start by trying to get 10,000 steps
a day and get in a cold
plunge I'm like dude I'm 520 pounds Gary 10,000 steps a day it's crazy talk but
I got in the cold
plunge for six minutes and I would go for a half-mile walk that first Monday
comes Joe it is pissing rain
pissing rain I mean cats and dogs dude and I wake up and I'm like shit and I've
been studying about lying
to yourself that when you tell yourself you're gonna do something you don't do
it your body then starts to
know that you don't mean what you say so now when you tell your body do some
your body looks at you
like bitch you ain't never meant what you said to me right you've never
followed through what do you
fuck you think I'm gonna run because you tell me to run dude you lie to me all
the time and I was in
that concept and I came out that morning dressed up in my stuff and I was like
man that rains pretty hard
and my family and this wasn't them being a lack of support Joe this was just I
think this was me lying to
them for so many years you know that they wanted to save me my shame again and
my embarrassment and they go
it's okay I think my wife's like it's okay Papa um or but my daughter was like
um just wait till the rain
quits or do it on the treadmill or something but in my mind I was like no I'm
going outside you know
and I was like I'm done lying to y'all and I'm done lying to me I told y'all I
was gonna go do this walk
I didn't want to get emotional this early
but I'm good
there's nothing wrong with emotions brother
I'm coming
I'm coming back from that walk
and I'm coming up my driveway it's up a big hill
I'm bringing in Cameltoon it's a huge hill
and I'm coming up the driveway to the hill
and a
