Joe Rogan has never been shy about sharing his health and recovery secrets. In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience featuring comedian Andrew Schulz, the podcast host made his enthusiasm for peptide therapy crystal clear.
During their conversation, Rogan specifically highlighted BPC-157 as part of what’s colloquially known as the “Wolverine” peptide stack—a reference to the X-Men character’s superhuman healing abilities.
The discussion arose organically when Schulz mentioned his dedication to maintaining his body for paddle, a racket sport he’s become obsessed with. Schulz revealed he does physical therapy twice a week and even looked into BPC-157 after hearing about its recovery benefits.
“I’m looking up the f**king BPC-157,” Schulz said. “I’m like, do I need the Wolverine s**t that they say?”
Rogan’s response was unequivocal: “Get that.”
Schulz then asks: “Have you tried that?”
Rogan then goes on to say: “It’s legit. Super legit.”
Schulz mentioned that he had even suggested the supplement to friends — with the clear disclaimer that he wasn’t a medical expert and everyone should do their own research. One of those friends later asked his doctor whether it was safe to try, and the doctor surprisingly replied, “I take it.”
Rogan replied, calling that “a good doctor.”
The peptide has gained attention in athletic and recovery circles for its potential to accelerate healing of soft tissue injuries. Rogan explained that performance-enhancing organizations like USADA (which oversees UFC testing) have banned BPC-157 specifically because it works so well at helping athletes recover from injuries and training. “It’s because it works,” Rogan emphasized. “It lets you heal quicker.”
While Rogan acknowledged there are risks with any recovery d**g—particularly concerns about cell growth if someone has undiagnosed cancer—he believes the real focus should be on eliminating environmental toxins and maintaining healthy lifestyles through diet and exercise.
