Hosting the most popular podcast in the world, Joe Rogan routinely has guests on to discuss a variety of topics. In a recent video, Rogan addresses social media star Liver King’s natty or not claim and speaks on the benefits of eating cooked meat over raw meat.
While Joe hasn’t competed in professional bodybuilding or powerlifting, he has learned the ins and outs of fitness while running his successful podcasting empire. During his time hosting the show, Joe has featured countless guests and varying sports stars like eight-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman. The purpose of his podcast is to have an open dialogue that resembles a normal conversation. These methods are how he is able to dive into topics that some people shy away from in traditional media.
On the other hand, Brian Johnson AKA “Liver king” became an online sensation in a different manner. Known for practicing his ancestorial lifestyle, Liver King adheres to a diet consisting of raw meat organs and prefers to live off the land. He states that he doesn’t use steroids but maintains his insanely jacked physique by consuming bone marrow and ingesting liver daily.

“No that’s a gimmick, that guy. He’s got an ass filled with steroids is what he gots. That’s not a natural body. That guy is shooting all kinds of shit into his system to achieve that kind of physique. There’s this guy Derek who’s been on my podcast before. He’s got this YouTube page, More Plates More Dates is his website.
More Plates More Dates, the YouTube page did a whole takedown, well not a takedown but an examination of this guy’s claims that he’s natural and that he’s living off the nine pillars of health and sustainability or whatever the fuck it is. Liver and testicles and drinking blood. It’s a gimmick.
Look, I don’t even know if there’s a benefit in eating raw meat. From what I’ve understood, talking to experts, there’s actually a lot gained from cooking because there’s more, because the protein becomes more bioavailable.” Joe Rogan explains.
According to Rogan and some of the experts he’s had on his podcast, benefits from eating raw meats are questionable. Conversely, Joe insists that cooking the meat results in the protein becoming more bioavailable for the body to consume.
“Eating raw meat like that, you’re not getting as much of the actual nutrients from it. Maybe you’re getting some additional factors from the fact that you’re getting like a rare piece of meat with blood and stuff like that. Maybe there’s other things. Maybe you’re getting too much protein if you’re eating a giant steak and it’s cooked well.
But as far as like bioavailability, they think that human beings cooking meat is one of the things that led to our evolution. That it helped our evolution along, because we had more protein access. Rogan adds. Also, it kills off bad bacteria. So you can have a piece of meat that was on the outsides kind of funky, but you cook it and you can eat it.”

Joe believes cooking meat led to human evolution. In particular, Rogan believes rare-cooked meat can offer nutrients in the blood that might otherwise not be available. Though, he stresses the benefits of cooked meat by highlighting that harmful bacteria is killed during the process.

It appears Joe isn’t sold on the raw meat diet or Liver King’s claim to be natural.
While raw meat might have some benefits, Joe asserts that the body’s ability to absorb protein increases when eating cooked meat.

Natural my a@@ I’ve been in this sport for 25 years and that guy is definitely not natural lol. That must be a joke. The first indication are those unnatural sized veins and this guy’s vascularity, that are an obvious product of tren and boldenone.Id also bet on a lil GH and short ester test in there too like prop or suspension. I could go on and on but I’ll keep it short and sweet.
Joe is dead on. This guy is about as natural as Arnold was. What he’s doing is laying out enough BS that he’s going to kill the gullible cause some if these kids had rather believe what they hear instead of what they read or research😡😡
If anybody believed the liver fraud was natural….then I feel sorry for their lack of intelligence.
Definitely thoroughly debunked. But looks like he got a private jet ride and a trip to Africa out of it. So swindling pays better than my honest work. Too bad.
@O.G. Mike Swoll You sure know a lot of specific names, you roid head 🤣
I can’t argue the natty or not because IDK anything about that. But I do know that this guy eats mostly cooked meat. He eats a small amount of raw liver and bone marrow with each meal but the rest is cooked
Dude you’re out of breath standing there talking!! Yah like totes natty brah!! The beard really sells it. That chinning hides the grinning from pinning.
i’m a vegan and my body is like that just from eating grass and beans…lol!
OMG! At least do some research or look up some previous shows of extreme idiot behaviors on youtube. There are plenty regarding eating raw meat and how it doesn’t digest in the intestines of humans. It sits there and rots. Eventually leading to extreme sickness and weight loss. There is no muscle gains but total body weight losses. You are not fooling anyone you dope! At least anyone that has half a brain!! Cooking the meat alters the amino acid strands so they can be broken down further and used by the body… if you were being honest you would have to admit you were shooting up and cooking your meat. Wow!!!
TREX, why would eating raw meat shut down your digestive system? Or do you think meat can rot in 12 hours?
I think the beard is fake
Hell meat can rot in your refrigerator in 5 days. Pretty sure at 98 degrees it’s a faster process.
Lol I thought Boss Hogg from the dukes of Hazzard was only one who ate raw liver lmfao all natural my ass
The forest kids that are nothing but raw shit died from cooked food.so I’ma doubt u just decided one day to eat a raw everything.rare steak don’t count bro.
Well, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I do believe this guy can absolutely be all natural. I personally don’t see anything in his physique that suggests otherwise……I probably feel this why because all my life people assume I use some type of performance enhancing drugs…But nope Never have…..
You can tell he is a fake looking at him. You don’t get that bulk and insane vascularity naturally.
If you are super lean, yes, you can have some wild veinage on display but you are NOT going to have the bulk.
Everybody’s different. He looks really short. Its all good up to a point and then “good bye”. When I worked out, I got super strong but my body never did that. I would arm wrestle guys who looked huge and take them right down. Deer in the headlights. I was much faster and way more coordinated. They look in the mirror too much. I don’t think they are healthy mentally or physically. Its all vanity and overcompensation for their fears of getting their butts kicked. Confident men don’t need that freakish look.
You can tell by his stomach. He is taking some supplements for sure. Also too much protein will cause scarring and kidney failure. This guy is lying.
