In a recently resurfaced clip, fans spotted the 55-year-old Joe Rogan delving deep into a discussion about healthy eating habits. On a similar note, Segura asks the JRE host about his diet. The $120 million-worth podcaster kicks off the conversation by sharing his diet for the day, “Today was Nilgai steaks and bacon. Nilgai is an antelope that I shot in Texas.

Rogan goes on to discuss how this unique diet has had an unexpected impact on his health. Even his chronic knee pain miraculously disappeared within just two months of adopting the carnivore diet. He believes that consuming a lot of unhealthy food puts the body in a state of inflammation. He even links this to a chemical called glyphosate, commonly found in pesticides.

“I think when you’re eating a lot of shit, your body is in a state of inflammation and there could possibly be something with glyphosate. That’s that chemical that they spray on weeds – that they found something like 94% of people have it in their blood…It’s f*cking poison – it’s 100% cancer-causing poison and 94% of the people have it in their body.”

Rogan is quite passionate about his belief that glyphosate is “100% cancer-causing poison,” and that a staggering 94% of people have it in their bodies. This startling revelation has fans reacting with astonishment and a call for action against such harmful substances.

Fan Reactions: From amusing hilarity to health concerns and everything in between

The fan reactions to the interview are just as intriguing as the discussion itself. But most of Rogan’s fans are simply amused at his unique diet. Many applaud his commitment to a healthier lifestyle, while it even inspired fans to give his carnivore diet a try.

One fan amusingly wrote,

“Joe’s breakfast is a mixture of a prehistoric man and a rich French man”

This user correlated his breakfast to a combination of a prehistoric man’s feast and the indulgence of a wealthy Frenchman. Talk about drawing an analogy!

One netizen commented, “You are what you eat,” implying that Joe’s diet seems to contradict the popular saying. Another netizen cautioned Rogan – “Better check that cholesterol, Joe!”

Hilariously, the discussion about glyphosate particularly struck a chord with fans. Many poured in with comments like,
