Joe Rogan Experience #2550 - Rick Springfield
Joe Rogan talks with 77-year-old rock musician Rick Springfield about how he stays fit and healthy while still touring and performing.
The gist
-
Springfield does sauna and cold plunge contrast therapy four times a week, which he says cuts all-cause mortality by 40%.
-
Springfield takes 10 grams of creatine monohydrate twice daily to stay sharp mentally, especially when tired from travel.
-
Springfield uses regenerative treatments like stem cell and bone marrow injections to recover from decades of touring and weightlifting wear.
-
Springfield schedules regular full-body MRI scans and blood work after his father's delayed medical care served as a cautionary example.
