How To Transform Your Health - The World's Fittest Vegan

[@DaCashRap]

I'm vegan, I run every day. And every time I run I think of this guy. Such an inspiration.

[@PLANTBASEDNEWS]

that's awesome. he is such an inspiratio

[@tblightningbolt8902]

be your own guru.. go inside

[@Babesinthewood97]

Me too. Or actually I was vegan and I ran every day for about 15 years. Past 6 months I started feeling hopeless about the world and I stopped doing everything right. Opposite of what you'd imagine could help things. One month ago I started the plantbased lifestyle again and I've started running every day again and I'm so happy to be on it again. It's the best choice you can make.

[@Frenchblue8]

Another thing he mentions, briefly, is his "protracted battle with alcoholism". As a person 18 years in recovery, myself, I am always so grateful when someone as amazing and inspiring as Rich shares this fact of his personal journey to optimal health with the world. He is such a powerful, powerful example of what we can accomplish when we are able to overcome these things that hold us back from our potential and our passions~ the sky is the only limit! Beautiful!!

[@JeremiahAlphonsus]

Oh shut up. Rather, it's time that skeletons again return to the closet where they belong. This is far nobler.

[@levi-5th]

Heroin 3 years. Congrats to you my friend. Vegan BAMF!!!

[@JeremiahAlphonsus]

Oh stop your exhibitionism. You should be ashamed to admit that you were a stinking, pathetic heroin addict. Keep it in the closet. Recover a shred of dignity and nobility. By the way, the addictive power of heroin is vastly overrated and romanticized. See: Romancing Opiates: Pharmacological Lies and the Addiction Bureaucracy www.amazon.com/Romancing-Opiates-Pharmacological-Addiction-Bureaucracy/dp/1594032254

[@Frenchblue8]

Jeremiah Alphonsus I wouldn't know heroin if I saw it. Learn to read. But God loves all the heroin addicts, and wants them to live and overcome their illness and be returned to health. And I'll just bet that really bugs you.

[@JeremiahAlphonsus]

1) I was talking to Levi. 2) Heroin use isn’t an addiction; it’s character failure.

[@lucysour]

I'm so used to listening to his podcast and hearing him interview other people, not the other way around! He is an amazing man. So much respect for him.

[@jagdishchoudhary6384]

Lucy W u have pretty smile

[@Tlhokaj1]

Lucy W me too. That’s why I was actively looking to hear what he had to say cause his life and story are so good!

[@fightermma]

Are you vegan?

[@davidhutchinson5233]

Rich Roll is one of the men I most look up to these days. Go Rich. Us guys like you in our 50s.....you let us know anything is possible...and we ALL thank you for that.

[@fabfourfever674]

David Hutchinson I'm not a guy, but I'm a woman in my 50's, so it's inspiring, no matter what the gender. 😊

[@davidhutchinson5233]

I agree completely....I was speaking for myself of course...but you are correct.

[@time4sanity]

As a 71 year old female, I have learned so much from him and admire his message and the amazing guests he always brings onto his podcast. Just here to share my gratitude!

[@LuneLuan]

David Hutchinson I thought you said rick roll I fucking cried

[@rid.h.tom.4296]

Same with me. I am 40 now but ever since I happened upon Finding Ultra, I finally worked up to running a half and then full marathon within months. This from a point of wishing to do it for years but never being able to go more than two miles. Very inspiring indeed.

[@healthtastesbetter]

I'm 32 and recently have been catching myself in the thought that maybe it is too late for me to experience true physical fitness...This interview really inspired me to get off my behind! Thank you!

[@tgavin9325]

I'm a huge fan of Plant Based News!!! Keep doing what you do!!

[@flocela]

You had me at "You don't have to do it perfectly,"

[@silviahernandez8949]

Same here!

[@cher-amirose7109]

Rich is one of my biggest inspirational speakers. I was a semi professional athlete in my 20's. Still not able to kick the alcohol due to many circumstances. I hate this feeling. I know if I didn't have this addiction I could have done so much more with my life. I am vegan...so at least I have that much going for me.

[@levi-5th]

The 3 thumbs down must be because this interview was too short. Great job as always PBN. Rich your the man!!

[@Frenchblue8]

Jeremiah Alphonsus what on Earth are you even talking about?? Seriously, what is your problem.

[@JeremiahAlphonsus]

The stinking jungle music near the beginning of the video.

[@levi-5th]

Thats not jungle music dude. Guess you missed the good part.

[@Frenchblue8]

Jeremiah Alphonsus So...what jungle is the music from, exactly? Lived there long, did you? Or was it just a holiday?

[@damarismitchell7355]

Rich Rolls You ROCK!!!

[@williamwest6851]

As a runner & cyclist, it's great to have Rich as a Vegan roll model :)

[@PLANTBASEDNEWS]

rich roll model!

[@downbntout]

I got your pun

[@molly104]

His podcast is an absolute goldmine

[@WeepingWidowSueAna]

What is the podcast called? I'd like to listen! :-)

[@molly104]

Ana Sue Chadwick ... "The Rich Roll Podcast" ...

[@paulvanraay7229]

Which app is that on? I got one but can't find him on it..

[@jessalinnguyen1504]

Paul van Raay hi! Don’t know if it’s too late but it’s available on KZbin!

[@Xfactor444-x4n]

Im a 50 year old recent breast cancer survivor, living with lupus and I am now 1 week vegan. its tough so far. Im watching videos like these to keep my on the path. Im trying to improve my health and prevent another bout with cancer for the second half of my life

[@dimitrichristou4889]

Hope you’re doing well Carla! Continued strength and health to you!! How are you doing with the autoimmunity now? Did the vegan diet help you at all? What have you learned?

[@Goodbyeeveryonehere]

If you didn't already know about her, watch Dr brooke goldner. She is plant based and has been lupus free for 18 years now. Due to her own diet.

[@charlkorb2717]

Thank you so much to you Klaus, for what you and your team are doing, is absolutely priceless!! Yes indeed, guys like Rich Roll and Jeff Morgan "whom you have interviewed in the past" are absolute rock stars, and amazing ambassadors for the life giving plant based movement.

[@Metahuman-tk4ub]

Love Rich Roll. He is eloquent, sincere and inspiring. Rock on!

[@supkika]

what a nice man calling you by your name and giving good answers to your good questions. I enjoyed this, very nice work. thank you

[@erinsjourney315]

He has THE BEST podcast hands down! An amazing man.

[@brendaaspey3522]

Rich is an inspiration, and it's so good to have him as a shining example of how fit and healthy a plant based diet is. Great interview Klause, thank you ✌️

[@John-hw3ds]

Man, he is very well spoken and articulate!

[@Frenchblue8]

Unbelievable that anyone could vote down this video. Rich is the best!!! Thank you, Klaus!!!💚☺

[@eddytritten]

Very bad mouse accuracy

[@Frenchblue8]

Eddy Indeed!

[@Arcavin]

Been Vegan for about a week now. No more acid breath burning me up. I have no issue with my energy levels anymore, and my cough and congestion due to dairy is gone. I am still overweight, but losing lbs steadily. I biked through 15 miles sat through an hour long lecture and wrote an in-class essay off of one single sun-dried date. (I was in a rush), but I felt great!

[@kindregardskatie]

Rich Roll is so inspiring xo

[@rangeslider]

Endurance is the true test of health and fitness. Rich Roll leads by example. So inspiring!

[@eugeniapledger746]

TruthPeaceLove Wow!

[@frodothehobo9938]

No it's not. Humans are an endurance species. You can literally be an alcoholic with good endurance. Saying endurance is the ultimate fitness test is like saying the true test of a sports car is its top speed. Being fit requires physical strength, endurance, and power. I would argue that for humans physical strength would be the ultimate test, given how much we have to work for it.

[@frodothehobo9938]

sideways Tree boi. Because fitness is not defined by one aspect, especially not the one we are born to be good at and almost don't have to try to improve on. I literally do not do active cardio, i walk a lot. The only time i actually do cardio is in the summer when its nice outside i go out into nature. I go hiking or something. My fitness is almost 90% lifting weights and i can jog a 4 mile uphill trail first day of the summer. No thats not particularly impressive, but it goes to show that humans are so good at endurance you actually dont even need to train for it to be good at it.

[@frodothehobo9938]

sideways Tree boi. Except cheetah's are extremely strong for their size still. Fitness is an all inclusive endeavor. Having good endurance and not being able to deadlift 405lbs is not fitness. You can be an athlete, and not fit. Competitive endeavors and fitness are seperate. For example you would not consider ray williams fit, or healthy. But seeing as how he squats 1085lbs raw, you would absolutely consider him strong. And good at his sport. Deadlifting 405lbs is novice standards. Follow any time proven novice program for a year and you can pull 405 by the end of it. Its just not that hard.

[@frodothehobo9938]

sideways Tree boi. I have enough cardiovascular endurance to not die an early death, thats really the only reason i maintain it

[@michaelscoots]

Such a great interview, Klaus! Love the continued inspiration, Rich - and the new haircut of course!

[@Bert_Berzerk]

Two years later your message is still thriving. Started my plant based journey in January. I’m still not perfect but I’m getting better

[@sevking7394]

His answers are perfect! I love this interview! Thank you

[@ediethesalsafreak]

I LOVE PLANT BASED NEWS!!!

So does KZbin, pharma and the GMOs companies

Week one for me and shockingly feel very good already. Calmer, more energy and not a joke, but life long battle with hemorrhoids gone after day 3 of no meat. Definitely going to continue and see where it take me.

Good on you! How's it going 9 months on?

What a very inspirational and incredibly intelligent guy. Well worth listening to.

[@brandoncameron5494]

This guy is bad ass! i love his podcast.

[@klowther247]

Incredibly informative and motivational. Rich Roll is so amazingly humble about his achievements and is out there to encourage everyone to better themselves. I appreciate this interview and wisdom gained immensely. Thank you!

[@redlemur7944]

This guy is like a fitness god lol. I want to be like this guy

Plant Power! ☀️🤸🏼‍♀️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👏🏼 love Rich... one of the first vegan books I bought five years ago when I began my journey was his! Now I’ve got a whole library and feel better than ever! 🙏🏻📿💕

[@robinlynn9667]

Vegan wfpb eating has changed my life. Had a variety of crippling health issues at 35, all issues completely gone now and I have boundless energy. 💯

[@swimbait1]

Great interview. I like how he said you don’t have to be perfect but the more plant based foods you eat the greater the benefit.

[@chrissvenningson1747]

Awesome interview and I love how Rich answered the questions Klaus had. I’ve recently gotten back to vegan 🌱 full time from keto. Type 2 diabetes behind me. Purchased a new aluminum hybrid bike which when the snow is gone here in Canada 🇨🇦, I’ll be out on the trails. I still go to the gym 3-4 times per week. Turning 55 March 31st, so not as much weight lifting, but more cardio to get fit and lean. 20gr of fat per day (naturally occurring fat from vegan foods). Lots of healthy carbs, vegetables and fruit. Just grab life and have fun !! 🚴🚴🚴🍑🥭🌾🏊‍♂️🚣‍♂️🥗🍠🌽🥦🥝🍅🫑🌶🍍🍉🍌

[@shawnbruce6934]

Rich Tells It Like It Is. What I like is that He explains that you need to do your best in Who You Are where You Live and What Your Circumstances are. Super Level Headed. I Love Rich!!

The best exercise is the one that you are going to do... so true ♥️

Since 2014 I've been using my evolve electric longboard for fitness. During an hour workout i push for 200mtrs, walk up to the nose of the board and ride for 100mtrs and then repeat. Absolutely an enjoyable fitness. Christmas 2017 i started eating more of a plant based diet. Wow! more energy, clarity and feeling awesome everyday.

Rich Roll is one of my gurus. I've been following him for some time and he's so admirable. Great interview ;)

Both of you are doing an amazing job. It really warms my heart how fast the revolution is going, and how fast the ratio of vegans/non-vegans around my friends is shifting towards the good side ;)

So cool to see that a vegan lifestyle actually works. I get it now and have started this back in September. Was so wrapped up in what all those big companies have pounded out as truths when they are actually MYTHS! Have never felt better and am improving so much!

I started last year to eat better via plant-based/Vegan/Vegetarian foods. And my body and arteries feels so much clearer and healthier. I did notice that when I ate the meats/heavy proteins that I felt quite sluggish and slower (I can attest to this because I tried both ways and my body can't lie to me). Yes, eat healthier and your body will reward you and thank you.

Fanny Bass Absolutely fruit and vegies are antioxidants and great for the skin,

[@ConnorMcCartney95]

I didn't know people thought that. If anything it makes them look younger.

I mean he looks fine, but not amazingly young looking, it's not like he's 70.

[@lafleurbleue8936]

stop the bs he does look his age not younger and most vegan look older at least the one on youtube look quite older and malnourished don't know why

I make those smoothies 2-3 times a day. Coffee is crap to me now! I just came back from playing soccer, and after a 2 hours of being home I want to go out for a jog already 😁 Fruits and veggies are so amazing to the body, my goodness.
