Rich Roll, Ultra-Athlete | Reclaiming Your Vitality with a Conscious Lifestyle | 2017 CEO Summit

[@jt.8144]

I remember watching this 4 years ago. Now I'm enjoying living a life more plant based: Fruits, Vegetables, Plant Based "meats" etc. Lost 50 lbs. Running has become more fun and kept me fit. No Diabetes, Hypertension, borderline Obesity. Nice for the Algorithm to let me know how far I've come.

[@rickwieclawek5973]

I am 67 years old and I can't express the gratitude I felt watching this video.

[@jbidwell605]

I adore this man and his message. He's such a brilliant communicator. Go Vegan! :)

[@camilladentremont2641]

Totally agree!!!

[@zkmarija]

So inspirational . I am so glad I bumped into this video. I have been 🌱 plant based for 3 years now. I am 42 years old. I was 41 when I did my first four arm stand ever. Have been doing Hot Yoga for 3 years also. The amount of energy that I have now is incredible. I had now idea that I would meet myself for the first time when I'm 40. Thank you Rich gor this amazing talk.

[@jamz.d3959]

Thanks for sharing Marija. I loved reading this :)

[@devanhansonmusic]

Awesome! My mother is 50 years old and overweight with type 1 diabetes. I’m trying to get her into joining a yoga class. Thank you Marija!

[@masonb9788]

I wish I'd started plant-based back when I first read his book several years ago. But hey, I've started now.

[@7janick7]

Going plant-based was the best thing I've done in my life. I wish you the best and better now than never! :)

[@evelynbaron2004]

I have been sober and vegan for quite some time; inspiring talk -- my issues are not meant to influence others

[@BlueHopi144]

@j808 you know nothing about it - sheep

[@wellnesspathforme6236]

It really depends on the person. Some do fine. Others crash and burn. Blood type may play a role -- investigate that angle. Type A's are supposed to do well, type B's not so much, and type O's even worse. My type O friend because disabled with inflammation on an almost vegetarian diet (he ate fish), and recovered in a week or two once he began eating meat and animal fat again. Check your ceruloplasmin status. Retinol is required to load copper into ceruloplasmin to activate it, and if your beta-carotene to retinol enzymatic pathway is clogged up, you will become deficient in ceruloplasmin-bound copper. Why is that important? Have you heard of inflammation? Ceruloplasmin-bound copper expresses as ferro-oxidase, the enzyme that manages iron in the human body so it doesn't rust in the presence of oxygen inside your body the way it does outside your body. Without the ceruloplasmin-bound copper expressing as ferro-oxidase, the iron in your body will be more likely to induce oxidative stress (rust) and drive inflammation in you body. Most people wouldn't want that outcome, so be aware it is a biochemical possibility.

[@familialalu4500]

This was great, thanks, I have been researching "conscious living wendy garrett" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Renaliyah Wordless Recognition - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind product for discovering how to manifest the success you deserve minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.

[@DavidRamos-nz4bh]

I’ve been vegan for two years and I’ve never felt better. I’ll be 60 in September and I will be in the best shape ever. Roll is very inspirational... wow..

[@marilyncrenshaw5136]

Wow- This perhaps the most inspiring video I have ever seen

[@jonathanrossddsmhs1271]

27 alcoholics or carnivores gave a thumbs down to this video. Really? A very inspiring presentation Rich!

[@debrachase3131]

Rich, it's New Year's Day, 2020. As I listened, I spontaneously found myself cleaning out my little pantry and wondering "where are the lentils? I know there's a bag of lentils somewhere." I settled for quinoa and made a note to get lentils.

[@cirjames2540]

Rich is brilliant, transparent and full of inspiration. Thank you Rich

[@sschreck08]

I wish I had watched this long before my body failed me. I used to work out at the gym every day. If I wasn’t at the gym, I would be running or hiking. Maybe if I had changed my diet then, I wouldn’t have gotten hit with RA, Hashimotos, lung problems, etc. it’s been 10 years of constant health struggles. I went on the AIP paleo diet for three years where I learned to eat clean ~ you know ~ grass fed meats, healthy fats, etc. etc. I started to feel worse. I couldn’t straighten out my elbows, hands hurt so bad I couldn’t hold a pen! My cholesterol level was going up and my CRP level was off the chart high. I went plant based vegan 16 months ago and I am feeling so much better. My bloodwork speaks for itself! Unfortunately, I do have osteoporosis now due to the many years that I had to take prednisone just to be able to function and work so I will never be able to go back to working out the way I used to. I have no doubt that if I had known about this diet back then, I would be that ultra athlete! Thank you Rich for being so inspiring!

[@MCJOHNSON95]

What are your main food sources in a typical day?

[@BlueHopi144]

start from fresh right now ....during this Plandemic - only your mind can stop you , nothing else . Change your diet progressively, exercice gently ( maybe start meditation & yoga or Tai Chi ) - swimming 20 mins , walk in nature , breath fresh air , connect with uplifting beings , ......

[@therealfinnaspring8585]

I'm really sorry to hear about your health problems :( I'm glad your feeling better now. I wonder if you could start with light rebounding. Rebounding is what they use to help astronauts with their osteoporosis. You can just start light like just up n down not even getting your feet off the rebounder/trampoline. It might not help but maybe?

[@jahninapamintuan1849]

I cried real hard watching him talk. His approach and calm demeanor. I really look up to Rich and David a lot cause they constantly remind me that theres a better way to live

[@darkomusic6796]

Yes, I cried too it's really deeply inspiring.

[@ralphmartinez8616]

You what?! Those Brussel sprouts got you messed up

[@xontheweb2376]

Thanks Rich for sharing. I made the same changes 6 months ago. Exactly the same: lost all excess weight, slim and light, feeling bright and sharper, feeling more connected to the important stuff. No crazy diet required: no more junk food, no more dairies and eggs, raw food at least 50% of daily solid intake. In no time you'll love what you've in the mirror and the person you become.

[@claire9771]

Keep telling your story Rich, more and more people are listening 💪🙌🙌

[@csleung444]

Thank you for having Rich Roll, what an amazing guy. Finding so much inspiration from.him right now.

[@VidVoyeur612]

No freaking way. I just looked up his age. Wow. If that's NOT inspirational to anyone...I was inspired to become plant-based after watching The Game Changers and this just made the fire under my ass a whole lot hotter.

[@mollyerickson4897]

I love his podcasts because he is 100% present with his guests, both supporting and enhancing their story and message without upstaging them, interrupting to demonstrate his brilliance, or launching into a side story to take some of the limelight away from them. I didn't know his backstory and now I am not just wildly impressed, I am inspired.

[@pauladavies2308]

Why has anyone given this video the thumbs down!? It's inspirational.

[@89andresp]

12 years ago when I was 20 years old I was exercising like a professional athlete despite I wasn't one. My physical performance was top everywhere I went. I think it was actually professional level. I felt amazing. Today 12 years after, at 32 years, I think I have the same energy levels (despite less strength because I stopped training about 10 years ago and I barely train now, one day a week average so my performance is definitely lower). I have been vegan since 4 years ago, I aim to eat as healthy as I can, mostly whole foods plant based diet and I have impressive energy levels despite how little I train and how little I sleep 6h average (I aim to improve this to 7.5-8h a day for improving my health) and since I have been eating this vegan way, a healthy vegan way (plus I am vegan thus I don't use/abuse animals at all), I have felt better than ever. I recommend everyone to adopt a whole foods plant based diet, and while you are at it, go vegan and stop using/abusing animals completely and your life will never be the same, it will be many times better. Educate yourself about nutrition and health and do a 100% plant based diet the proper way

[@kristinkelly8862]

I have been in love with your podcast for over a year and this is the first time I heard this story. I am in happy tears. Thank you for persevering and letting the beautiful light that is your soul make this world a better and brighter place. You have done that for me and I thank you.

[@silm7902]

So happy I found Rich Roll and how awesome is his name!! Thank you for bringing love and light to peoples lives.

[@rollie5579]

I'm 63 years old and you have inspired me to run again and train for a 10K then a half marathon, I'm also moving towards being totally plant based. Thank you and keep up the inspirational work!!!!

[@tahnieg1083]

He is a superb communicator, a delight to listen to. He has his message without being preachy, hysterical or overly dramatic and extreme. I've just started listening to his podcast and its great

[@pampenney9600]

This was amazing Thank you I was listening while walking and decided to start running and ran over a mile before I knew it !! I was a long distance runner, I deployed and hurt my foot and hip so that’s not a possibility for me any more 😢 I wanted to give up but I started binge listening and watching you all from chef AJ To Dr mcdougal and physicians committee and decided to start WFPB Way of life July 6. I went all the way and haven’t stopped. I do like wine so that’s next to stop. I have a Long history of eating issues, too much to type, I just wanted to say God bless you all. Thanks so much for all your inspiration ❤️💕😊

[@dustinparker5759]

Thanks for posting. His story is amazing. I read his book. Very inspiring. Now I better understand the connection to a plant based diet.

[@MsTheGurr]

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. What an inspiration.

[@codjh9]

I've watched a few videos with Rich Roll, but this is my favorite so far. Super inspiring! I've never been working harder on my health, in multiple ways, as I am right now, but you just inspired me more. Thanks.

[@magicsupamoggie]

I watch Rich Roll interviewing many people but this is a most inspirational talk.

[@coversbymanu93]

Going vegan has dramatically changed my life for the better. Not only have I improved my physical wellbeing, it served me mentally for the better. Not supporting with my money the leading industries in climate change, ocean dead zones, waterway contamination and human disease felt and still feels better than anything else. Thank you Rich for your wonderful talk, you are an inspiration and a great man.

[@ruthzacarias2142]

I discovered Rich Roll today and it’s truly amazing, he’s really encouraging me to go vegan I’m genuinely fascinated by his story, transformation, and courage. Thanks for the privilege of your story I hope more people realize that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself, again, THANK YOU I needed this today✨🙏🏽

[@ralphmartinez8616]

🥩💪🏾

[@kittyvine823]

Funny, I've listened to Rich for several months and never did I know, or realize where he came from, literally. Now I get it; the story behind the man. This gives all of us a taste of what could be. I believe it's the same with all of us; I know it is with me. I often think, "If they only knew where I came from." All of us have a story, mine is insane, and mine is ridiculous. I love this. It clicked!!!!

[@annemccarron2281]

You're right - most (not all of us) have a crazy story! Mine is insane as well. Need to write my story. Plant based because I want to live a very long time. So much time wasted in emtionak pain! Doing great now!

[@amybeard2054]

Rich you are such an exceptional story teller. Great speech! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Swen2103]

Well done. As I like to say: effective Managers do Things right. Effective Leaders do the right things. Let‘s Hope some of the CEOs in the Audience are true Leaders and become more aware and conscious. 🌱

[@whatupboy100]

Well done Rich. Love you man

[@earthwisescott]

Amazingly well said. It is these stories of otherwise ‘ordinary’ people stepping into extraordinary roles that inspire that potential in all of us. Thank you!

[@michellelappin8867]

Who watches this video and gives it a thumbs down? I read his book and have heard Rich's story before. Just as captivating to stumble upon it again today. Plant-based diet changed my life and many people around me.

[@petikstrebl2011]

Thank you for being who you become! Well done, my big respect for you as I see a lot of similarities of your life evolving as mine.

[@jacksonhatfield1344]

Rich...was not sure if I was going to sit through your 40-minute presentation...but I did. Thank You and Thank you Again.

[@evelynbaron2004]

2 hrs normal l for podcasts get used to compulsive talkers I am also gulity but would rather listen to my Dad on Marcus Aurelius than …..computer messed up great talk

[@BlueHopi144]

drop that guitar , too heavy to hold . lol

[@stefaniew9411]

Wow! Great speach. I am reading finding ultra and I was spoiling a bit by watching this, but I was so curious and I can't read quick enough😁. So inspiring!

[@PlantBasedEatingforHealth]

I love the book. Really, really inspiring.

[@michaeldesmond7308]

What an inspiration you are Rich. I’m 38 always dabbled in fitness but I’m going through a process of stripping away the fat and toxins and toxic habits out of my life. Thank for all you do, just laced up my running shoes 👟

[@fitmitswetlanaundsteven]

„We need to find a better way to feed the planet“ ❤️

[@BlueHopi144]

to feed the soil back to its original nutrients & connect people back to Earth

[@lovemagicandroad]

You’re a GREAT speaker with an AWESOME message. Yes I’m mostly plant based. At least 95+%.

[@danielescarabello7114]

I needed to watch this. Having turned to a plant based diet almost 10 years ago and struggling with the pushback from society ever since. Any social gathering involving food is always a moment when I get easily put on the spot and all usual questions come up. I just would like to be left alone with my choices and not having to justify all the time. So true that we easily accept all kind of unhealthy choices but the majority keep questioning a plant based diet. Exhausting.

[@simongarner5340]

People should be able to eat what they like and be left alone. By all means ask someone why they've made the choice to eat a certain way and just listen and learn without judgement.

[@mariannewolf57]

Could not agree more. Still- in my opinion- it's all worth it. Plants and Peace.

[@S_Safetysheild]

Exceptional human being. I stumbled across him during studies, listening to him interview Dr Andrew Hubermann... well, his story coincidentally brought my life back to a purpose driven life. Oh and inspired me to commit to do my first half Ironman in 2024 @ 54. Thank you Rich, thanks for sharing your story!

[@Goreset.me_mar]

One of my bucket list is to meet rich roll;) I Just had a marathon race last Saturday and I finished it strong. I believed because of the plants and I inspired by rich roll... #plantstrong

[@funkywarrior3906]

Do you have any tips on the marathon?

[@ivanak7149]

I love Rich Roll. Hes such a good motivator.

[@thehealthjunkie8996]

Love listening to your podcast. Thank you great talk!

[@gavinbrinck]

Wonderfull speach! Thank you for inspiring us!

[@janfossedal784]

Excellent Rich! Keep up your great work😊

[@ryan_s1987]

such a great story teller

[@michaelpaton2716]

We love you rich roll! Such an amazing guy

[@fronesis01]

I identify with all that he struggle in the past. I also Identify with the comeback he did in his path. I also Identify with because he seems to be down to earth and humble.

[@NadineLouiseB]

Totally the most amazing talk I've ever heard!

[@mohanrgopal6097]

The best ever video I have ever watched.

[@marjanfathallahpour3253]

Beautiful concept and conclusion of the drunken woman, that angle. Thanks

[@evelynbaron2004]

the drunken woman .. was raped 2x when homeless fuck off

[@pinkiepinkster8395]

Thank you for this Rich.

[@shiftylad9938]

I'm almost finished chemo at 48 and also bad leg and back problems. I'm thinking vegan could be the diet that would suit but I don't know why I overthink it. Hopefully on my 50 th birthday I'll be around to say I should have done this earlier. All helpful comments welcome and even the unhelpful ones as that with luck will reinforce my thoughts. All best wishes from Ireland 👍👍👍👊👊👊

[@deannabanana9344]

You can do it. Whole food plant based all the way. You’ll actually enjoy it and not be overwhelmed by it one day. 💕 take it meal by meal!

[@blainglenn7184]

One meal at a time. Lots of great interviews with MDs with info on vegan nutrition and others helping with motivation.

[@amberhidey3792]

He is so inspiring!

[@jbt6007]

Love you Rich. Such a sweetheart.

[@jolliemedia]

Great interview, thank you. 🙌

[@marys2345]

You are an amazing human being.

[@jenniferkalogirou7472]

Amazing story!

[@plantbasedpower3237]

Epic speech Rich! So inspiring!

[@sophiezhao6741]

Such an inspiration!

[@plusbonus1165]

Gee , I'm still trying to get my workmates to stop smoking at work even though it is illegal here ! Can't change them but I will certainly be reducing my meat intake from this point on. If the benefits are such that Mr Roll says I may go the full ' vegan' hog !

[@holistichealthlifewellness2182]

Did you go vegan? Or still eating cruelty?

[@BlueHopi144]

Never try to change others - u might face strong mirrors about illusion than .

[@craigslistuser9776]

Hilarious speech! Thank you Rich and thank you for posting it.

[@Mike-cv7hv]

"Where do you get your protein?" It's amazing how much that question comes up

[@roybanga]

incredible!!! thanks rich!!!

Would have loved to be there for this.

[@iwnunn7999]

Impressive man

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

There are always possibilities.

[@TheThrashBlues]

inspring stuff!

[@lovemagicandroad]

Oh yeah, that Q about what protein are you eating? Me too, so many times I’ve been asked.

[@carloscoelho975]

Remarkable! Tks @richroll

[@favoritefrontrangehomes7235]

Dude - I m on the couch, just finished round three of chemo. Three more to go. I m an Ironman Finisher in my 50’s. 39 years of working out - documented. To say that I caused my cancer is a stretch at best... insulting actually.

[@masonb9788]

I don't believe he ever says "all" of these diseases are caused by diet, rather that most are.

[@Ljungcrantz]

80-90%. Talk about not paying attention.

[@seayafishing]

Wow Wow WOW Wow wow!

[@LeeC58]

Very cool guy

[@therealfinnaspring8585]

And here i have been feeling too old for anything new at 29....

[@karlk9316]

From one perspective, the first step was your letting go of a highly inflammatory diet: high carbs, low quality protein, excito toxins, and a dirth of above-ground leafy green vegetables. The second step was choosing a healthy diet with lots of plants that works for your body. Wondering if you vary your diet after a number of months?

[@macombus269]

I have been flerting with this plant based diet thing. I see so many people around me looking better and saying it is thanks to their plant based diet. I guess I will join the bandwagon. Has anyone else recently tried?

[@yourcelebrant]

Coming up to the two year mark. You will never look back. I'm 62 it is never too late.

[@kathryntokarska6062]

2 Years March 2019. Ease into it. I'm 50 and post pedestrian/vehicle accident and I feel like despite my permanent injuries I'm getting my life back.

[@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094]

I'm a vegan, went vegan for the animals and my health improved as a bonus :)

[@7janick7]

I'm 20 now and I'm for one year on a whole food plant based diet. It's the best thing I've ever done! :)

[@mattwkendall]

46 years old man, 9 years plant based. Grew up hunting and enjoying meat until a health crisis... Feel great now and reversed the disease. More clarity, stamina and energy than my late twenties. Last night my buddy said I look the same as when he met me 10 years ago. That felt great. Anyone considering this just have fun with it. No probs just challenges. Don't freak if you backstep. Pay attention to the positive results and this will encourage you to carry on. Be strong. If I can adopt this lifestyle, anyone can!

[@80Demitri]

I love Rich Roll and what he is doing but just remember, being vegan/vegetarian will not prevent cancer etc. I know a vegan that ended up with cancer and died and a life long vegetarian that had a stroke and ended up partially paralyzed. Eating healthy and exercising is good but don't deprive yourself of certain things.....life is too short. Genetics has the most to do with longevity. My Yia Yia lived to be 94 and she never exercised, drank Ouzo every night and ate whatever she wanted all in moderation. I remember asking her what her secret was in a joking way and she looked at me and said "Don't take life too serious" stress is a killer!

[@chayandrew9331]

Excellent. Hope that old woman is eating a plant based diet now and running ultra marathons.

[@evelynbaron2004]

old woman ….. you are an asshole
