Jorge Masvidal gives his take on Joe Rogan’s infamous therapy

Jorge Masvidal was recently featured on an episode of The Kim Congdon Takeover podcast. During his conversation with the host Kim Congdon, he made some revealing statements about his early fighting days. Around 17 minutes into the discussion, Congdon brought up the infamous cold plunge therapy that’s becoming a norm for fighters and athletes alike. Congdon kicked off the conversation, jokingly asking ‘Gamebred,’ “Are you gonna do the ice bath [challenge]?” 

Masvidal responded with a question of his own, “Are you gonna do the ice bath?” The exchange continued, with ‘Gamebred’ pointing out an intriguing aspect of cold plunges – calorie burning. He emphasized, “[You can] burn a ton of calories…”

Intrigued by the potential calorie-burning benefits, Congdon asked, “Really? What else can I do to burn calories?”

‘Gamebred,’ drawing from his experience, delved into the intricacies of weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. What’s more – he offered valuable insights, stating, “But it needs to be healthy – because I could show you how to lose like five-six pounds – but it’s water [you’re losing]. As soon as you drink this [water] back – you’d put it on there.”

Moving forward with the conversation, Masvidal cautioned against extreme diets that may yield results for a brief period. Instead, he emphasized the importance of longevity. He argued, “So you wanna just have something consistent and not necessarily like a diet. But, like a lifestyle that allows you to take those 20 pounds off and still be chilling.”

Congdon, still intrigued by the calorie-burning potential of ice baths, sought more details, asking, “How many calories is this ice bath burning? Hundreds?”

Masvidal responded affirmatively, “Yeah, I would say that. Hundreds – depending on how long you stay there…” He acknowledged that some individuals like Joe Rogan take their cold bath experiences to the extreme, even immersing themselves for extended periods.
