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-

Joe Rogan (0:22)

1 million percent.

Jelly Roll (0:24)

So I brought a bunch of notes about what I went through. So don't look at me like a super nerd today, 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 way.

Joe Rogan (0:31)

I like a dude with notes. Especially a dude who lost 300 fucking pounds.

Jelly Roll (0:36)

Let's go, baby.

Joe Rogan (0:37)

Let's go. Look at you, dude.

Jelly Roll (0:39)

Dude, I feel great, yo.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

You should feel great.

Jelly Roll (0:42)

I feel really, really good, dude.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

You're a totally new human being.

Jelly Roll (0:46)

It is, man. 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 of you saying that. There's a scripture in the Bible that says, 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? It might be cloaked as the old one, but God touched it. It's a whole new heart, baby. It's a different heart.

Joe Rogan (1:22)

Every seven years, doesn't every cell in your body get replaced by new cells? Isn't that what the number is?

Jelly Roll (1:29)

That's crazy.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

Throw that into our sponsor perplexity and find out that's nonsense. But I think that's true. I think that's what happened. So you do have a chance to be a new human being.

Jelly Roll (1:40)

And think that it would happen on a holy number like that.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

It's a myth. God damn it.

Shit. Every seven years is a myth. Different cell types have 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. Oh, okay. So it's not a total myth. Not a fixed cycle where everything is swapped out all at once. Some tissues renew very fast, while others renew 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 to 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.

Jelly Roll (2:39)

God, it's crazy. It's constantly renewing, baby.

Joe Rogan (2:41)

Yeah.

Jelly Roll (2:42)

Feels good, man. Whole different human. We were talking about it. When I first came to your club, I couldn't even walk all the way up the steps without stopping like every seventh step, and today was my, me and Cam did my first 10K yesterday. We did a little bit over. We 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 kettle bells. I was like, look at who I'm helping Joe. I'm an older guy.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

Yeah. Just chilling doing two and a half miles on a treadmill.

Jelly Roll (3:04)

It's just watching the Peter Yon fight again.

Joe Rogan (3:07)

And you, you had a nice pace. You look casual doing it.

Jelly Roll (3:11)

Feel good.

Joe Rogan (3:12)

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.

Jelly Roll (3:18)

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 underestimated 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.
