During the conversation with Hogan, Rogan talked about rules and regulations surrounding stem cell treatment.

He also talked about athletes he knows who have used stem cell treatment to fix their health issues. The 56-year-old said, “I know so many athletes that have gotten problems fixed through stem cells, and most of them have done it either in Columbia or Tijuana.” Earlier this year, Aljamain Sterling revealed he was going to Colombia for a stem cell treatment program that would help him get back on track ahead of this fight with Henry Cejudo.

Rogan’s personal experience with Stem Cell Treatment 

As the conversation progressed, Rogan highlighted his frustration with the regulatory hurdles and questioned the legality of potentially harmful substances like opiates and the restrictions on groundbreaking treatments like stem cells. He said, “It’s such a bummer that. It’s, it’s so restricted because I don’t see the danger to it when you consider it and in comparison to the danger against something like opiates, which are legal, right? Like, why are you restricting this like this?”

Rogan also shared his personal story, highlighting the transformative potential of stem cell treatments. “I had a full-length rotator cuff tear, disappear, just went away. Six months later, again, an MRI, like this is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen, it’s like it’s gone,” said Rogan, underscoring the personal benefits he got from stem cell treatment.
