...One group which Rogan has consistently clashed with is vegans. While Rogan espouses keeping an open mind and is no stranger to alternative diet measures (he’s a fan of things like mushroom coffee and fasting, as well as having tried the carnivore diet) he’s consistently demonstrated a marked scepticism of veganism (despite, when push came to shove, admitting it is possible to be healthy on a vegan diet, after talking to The Game Changers co-producer James Wilks).
Two more recent guests of his – high-profile vegans who have since quit the no-meat lifestyle – have got herbivores particularly peeved.
Firstly, Rogan invited singer/songwriter Miley Cyrus on his podcast, who went from being one of the most high-profile celebrity vegans out to eating fish on the regular. Cyrus explained to Rogan that she felt mentally fatigued on a vegan diet and saw improvements after introducing omega-3 from fish into her diet. This infuriated vegans, who were quick to criticise Cyrus’ (and Rogan’s) reasoning. Just as that storm died down, Rogan invited controversial boxer Mike Tyson onto the podcast, too – who related that eating vegan made him “miserable” and claimed that all the kale he was eating was poisoning his blood. Dave Asprey, well-known ‘health hacker‘ and founder of Bulletproof Coffee, suggests that Tyson’s story isn’t just hyperbole.
“Here’s what happens when you go vegan: for the first six weeks, as your cell membranes lose potency from omega-6, your body freaks out and releases more thyroid hormone, which temporarily makes you feel good. Then, that compensating factor stops working, and you begin the long slow decline into weakness, brain fog, joint pain, kidney stones, and acting like a jerk most of the time (if you don’t believe me, just wait for the comments on this post),” he cheekily adds...
