Joe Rogan once gained a fan in Arnold Schwarzenegger. The UFC commentator, Stand-up comedian, actor, and a popular podcaster discussed ‘The Game Changer’ a 2018 documentary on his JRE once. The documentary sought the truth behind meat, protein, and strength. It is most well-known for advancing plant-based diets for athletes.

The documentary was produced by James Wilks, who appeared on the podcast to defend his research. A list of widely acclaimed individuals also featured as producers for the documentary, including, Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Cameron, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic, Jackie Chan, Chris Paul and Joseph Pace.

The JRE podcast episode involved James Wilks debating against Chris Kresser. Rogan, also provided a suitable moment for Wilks to parley with the dissenting opinion.
