Joe Rogan has offered Scott Storch health and dietary advice after the music producer revealed that he was drinking hydrogen water in an effort to combat inflammation in his joints.
Hydrogen water has been a popular, though expensive, addition to the alternative health food market recently. Proponents of the drink, which is made by adding hydrogen molecules to regular water, say that it provides antioxidant relief, among a number of other purported benefits.
During an recent episode of The Joe Rogan Show with guest Storch, the music producer was seen sipping from a silver pouch, prompting the host to ask: "What's that water you're drinking? What is this craziness?"
"I get, like, inflammation when I'm playing piano, or whatever," Storch explained. "This is, like, hydrogen water. And I f*** with it. A friend of mine, my boy, Adam, he's like, 'Listen, I think you should try my water.' He's investing all kinds of things."
Rogan then asked his guest if he was experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. Scott responded that he "kind of" has those symptoms, explaining that his issues tend to arise sometimes when the weather is "freezing cold."
The host enquired if Storch has ever tried CBD (aka cannabidiol) or turmeric to treat his issues.
"Yeah, like, I do that stuff," Storch said. "I do, like, the little shots... raw ginger."
"You should do that all the time," former Fear Factor host Rogan advised.
After Storch spoke about his previous struggles with drug use, Rogan brought the conversation back to the joint issue, saying: "Hydrogen water [is] great, but if you really want to cut [the inflammation] down... stop eating things that give you inflammation.
He added: "That's the big one. That'll change everything. Cut out all the sugar and the bread, and you'll be amazed at how well you feel."
"I'm not really, like, a sugar guy," Storch responded. "Some people eat sweets and s***... Lately, because I'm trying to lose a lot of weight, I've been eating fruit, like, constantly eating fruit, and I feel so much better.
"I drink water until I'm blue in the face and I'm not hydrated. I eat fruits and s*** like that, I feel like it just sticks your organs... A lot of watermelon I eat. I love watermelon and apples."
Rogan then asked Storch if he regularly takes electrolytes, prompting the response: "I do... Gatorade. But there's this other stuff. I don't even know what it's called, but it's like a powder, it's supposed to be less fattening, and you just put it in the water and it's like accelerated hydration."
Sharing more advice, Rogan said: "Obviously, your fingers are still working, but if you starting to feel like real discomfort, there's some things you could do. CBD is a big one. CBD helps so much.
"My friend... he had arthritis to the point where his hands were, like, totally crooked. Couldn't straighten his hands out. He started taking CBD, and it all went away. It's incredible. It really is incredible. Diet is a big one."
Rogan further said that he uses a CBD-based roll-on product to combat the feeling of muscle soreness.
"CBD is fantastic," the podcaster enthused. "Anytime you can eliminate inflammation in your life, that's good, whether it's your personal life or your body."
When Storch said that he had heard people talk about the benefits of taking sea moss, Rogan countered: "Most of that s*** is starvation food. People [ate] it when they couldn't find fish.
"If you could find fish, you ate a f****** fish. Why would you eat that stupid moss? I think that's what most vegetables are. Most vegetables are starvation food."
While both men said that they enjoy eating salads, Rogan added: "I know that when I'm only eating, like meat and steak and eggs, I feel way better. It's just like everything feels like it's in tune. My brain works better. My body feels more relaxed. It's a tangible thing. When I eat a lot of bulls***, I feel it."
The recreational use of marijuana is legal in 24 states, and Washington, D.C., as of April 2024. While jurisdictions differ on the legal quantity allowed for legal possession, almost half of U.S. states have now approved its use.
Other states have pushed ahead with legislation approving the substance's use for medical conditions. Those requiring medical use can still access synthetic or CBD products in the majority of these states, however.
