In a Jan. 2 interview with Men's Health, Jelly Roll provided further insight into what prompted his weight loss.
"My testosterone level—and I'm cool to talk about this openly—was of a preteen boy," Jelly Roll said. "When I went in there for the test, it was bad. Bad. The world opened up when I seen it on paper... I was like, 'That's my testosterone level? I mean, dude, we're talking a 57. You can't get it up without T. I was married to a smoke show, and I was still struggling....The first couple of blood panels were like, 'How are you alive?"
However, after putting in the hard work and earning some spectacular results, Jelly Roll has joked that his testosterone and sex drive have reached brand new levels.
"Now it's a totally different thing," he jokingly explained. "I'm chasing her around the house, you know what I'm saying? I'm like a teenage kid again! I'm like the Pink Panther: I bust out of every corner. And she opens the cabinet and I go, 'Hi!'"
Joe Rogan Recently Praised Jelly Roll for His Weight Loss
During a recent episode of the "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, he praised Jelly Roll for his weight loss and the reduced risk factors that come with being in significantly better shape.
"Look at Jelly Roll," Rogan said. "That dude just added decades onto his life. He was on his way out; he was close. He was on his way out... You get too big and then you probably have sleep apnea, so you ain't getting any sleep. So at night he's choking, you know, and you're lying in bed in these weird hotel rooms."
Not only had Jelly Roll's weight loss had a huge impact on his life, but it's also serving as motivation for his fans around the world. He didn't take any shortcuts, and the process was visible every time he stepped into the public eye. And that alone is commendable.
