I'm vegan, I run every day. And every time I run I think of this guy. Such an inspiration.
that's awesome. he is such an inspiratio
be your own guru.. go inside
Me too. Or actually I was vegan and I ran every day for about 15 years. Past 6 months I started feeling hopeless about the world and I stopped doing everything right. Opposite of what you'd imagine could help things. One month ago I started the plantbased lifestyle again and I've started running every day again and I'm so happy to be on it again. It's the best choice you can make.
Another thing he mentions, briefly, is his "protracted battle with alcoholism". As a person 18 years in recovery, myself, I am always so grateful when someone as amazing and inspiring as Rich shares this fact of his personal journey to optimal health with the world. He is such a powerful, powerful example of what we can accomplish when we are able to overcome these things that hold us back from our potential and our passions~ the sky is the only limit! Beautiful!!
Oh shut up. Rather, it's time that skeletons again return to the closet where they belong. This is far nobler.
Heroin 3 years. Congrats to you my friend. Vegan BAMF!!!
Oh stop your exhibitionism. You should be ashamed to admit that you were a stinking, pathetic heroin addict. Keep it in the closet. Recover a shred of dignity and nobility. By the way, the addictive power of heroin is vastly overrated and romanticized. See: Romancing Opiates: Pharmacological Lies and the Addiction Bureaucracy www.amazon.com/Romancing-Opiates-Pharmacological-Addiction-Bureaucracy/dp/1594032254
Jeremiah Alphonsus I wouldn't know heroin if I saw it. Learn to read.
But God loves all the heroin addicts, and wants them to live and overcome their illness and be returned to health.
And I'll just bet that really bugs you.
1) I was talking to Levi. 2) Heroin use isn’t an addiction; it’s character failure.
I'm so used to listening to his podcast and hearing him interview other people, not the other way around! He is an amazing man. So much respect for him.
Lucy W u have pretty smile
Lucy W me too. That’s why I was actively looking to hear what he had to say cause his life and story are so good!
Are you vegan?
Rich Roll is one of the men I most look up to these days. Go Rich. Us guys like you in our 50s.....you let us know anything is possible...and we ALL thank you for that.
David Hutchinson I'm not a guy, but I'm a woman in my 50's, so it's inspiring, no matter what the gender. 😊
I agree completely....I was speaking for myself of course...but you are correct.
As a 71 year old female, I have learned so much from him and admire his message and the amazing guests he always brings onto his podcast. Just here to share my gratitude!
David Hutchinson I thought you said rick roll I fucking cried
Same with me. I am 40 now but ever since I happened upon Finding Ultra, I finally worked up to running a half and then full marathon within months. This from a point of wishing to do it for years but never being able to go more than two miles. Very inspiring indeed.
I'm 32 and recently have been catching myself in the thought that maybe it is too late for me to experience true physical fitness...This interview really inspired me to get off my behind! Thank you!
You had me at "You don't have to do it perfectly,"
Same here!
I'm a huge fan of Plant Based News!!! Keep doing what you do!!
Rich is one of my biggest inspirational speakers. I was a semi professional athlete in my 20's. Still not able to kick the alcohol due to many circumstances. I hate this feeling. I know if I didn't have this addiction I could have done so much more with my life. I am vegan...so at least I have that much going for me.
Im a 50 year old recent breast cancer survivor, living with lupus and I am now 1 week vegan. its tough so far. Im watching videos like these to keep my on the path. Im trying to improve my health and prevent another bout with cancer for the second half of my life
Hope you’re doing well Carla! Continued strength and health to you!!
How are you doing with the autoimmunity now? Did the vegan diet help you at all? What have you learned?
If you didn't already know about her, watch Dr brooke goldner. She is plant based and has been lupus free for 18 years now. Due to her own diet.
As a runner & cyclist, it's great to have Rich as a Vegan roll model :)
rich roll model!
I got your pun
The 3 thumbs down must be because this interview was too short. Great job as always PBN. Rich your the man!!
Jeremiah Alphonsus what on Earth are you even talking about?? Seriously, what is your problem.
The stinking jungle music near the beginning of the video.
Thats not jungle music dude. Guess you missed the good part.
Jeremiah Alphonsus
So...what jungle is the music from, exactly? Lived there long, did you? Or was it just a holiday?
Man, he is very well spoken and articulate!
His podcast is an absolute goldmine
What is the podcast called? I'd like to listen! :-)
Ana Sue Chadwick ... "The Rich Roll Podcast" ...
Which app is that on? I got one but can't find him on it..
Paul van Raay hi! Don’t know if it’s too late but it’s available on UA-cam!
Rich Rolls You ROCK!!!
Been Vegan for about a week now. No more acid breath burning me up. I have no issue with my energy levels anymore, and my cough and congestion due to dairy is gone. I am still overweight, but losing lbs steadily. I biked through 15 miles sat through an hour long lecture and wrote an in-class essay off of one single sun-dried date. (I was in a rush), but I felt great!
Vegan wfpb eating has changed my life. Had a variety of crippling health issues at 35, all issues completely gone now and I have boundless energy. 💯
Endurance is the true test of health and fitness. Rich Roll leads by example. So inspiring!
TruthPeaceLove Wow!
No it's not. Humans are an endurance species. You can literally be an alcoholic with good endurance. Saying endurance is the ultimate fitness test is like saying the true test of a sports car is its top speed. Being fit requires physical strength, endurance, and power. I would argue that for humans physical strength would be the ultimate test, given how much we have to work for it.
sideways Tree boi. Because fitness is not defined by one aspect, especially not the one we are born to be good at and almost don't have to try to improve on. I literally do not do active cardio, i walk a lot. The only time i actually do cardio is in the summer when its nice outside i go out into nature. I go hiking or something. My fitness is almost 90% lifting weights and i can jog a 4 mile uphill trail first day of the summer. No thats not particularly impressive, but it goes to show that humans are so good at endurance you actually dont even need to train for it to be good at it.
sideways Tree boi. Except cheetah's are extremely strong for their size still. Fitness is an all inclusive endeavor. Having good endurance and not being able to deadlift 405lbs is not fitness. You can be an athlete, and not fit. Competitive endeavors and fitness are seperate. For example you would not consider ray williams fit, or healthy. But seeing as how he squats 1085lbs raw, you would absolutely consider him strong. And good at his sport. Deadlifting 405lbs is novice standards. Follow any time proven novice program for a year and you can pull 405 by the end of it. Its just not that hard.
sideways Tree boi. I have enough cardiovascular endurance to not die an early death, thats really the only reason i maintain it
Week one for me and shockingly feel very good already. Calmer, more energy and not a joke, but life long battle with hemorrhoids gone after day 3 of no meat. Definitely going to continue and see where it take me.
Good on you! How's it going 9 months on?
hannahmitchell87 going great! Feel very strong and healthy.
@@swisstrader Ahh that's fantastic! 💪🌱💪🌿
Two years later your message is still thriving. Started my plant based journey in January. I’m still not perfect but I’m getting better
what a nice man calling you by your name and giving good answers to your good questions. I enjoyed this, very nice work. thank you
Love Rich Roll. He is eloquent, sincere and inspiring. Rock on!
Rich is an inspiration, and it's so good to have him as a shining example of how fit and healthy a plant based diet is.
Great interview Klause, thank you ✌️
He has THE BEST podcast hands down! An amazing man.
Unbelievable that anyone could vote down this video. Rich is the best!!! Thank you, Klaus!!!💚☺
Very bad mouse accuracy
Eddy Indeed!
Thank you so much to you Klaus, for what you and your team are doing, is absolutely priceless!! Yes indeed, guys like Rich Roll and Jeff Morgan "whom you have interviewed in the past" are absolute rock stars, and amazing ambassadors for the life giving plant based movement.
Such a great interview, Klaus! Love the continued inspiration, Rich - and the new haircut of course!
This guy is like a fitness god lol. I want to be like this guy
The best exercise is the one that you are going to do... so true ♥️
What a very inspirational and incredibly intelligent guy. Well worth listening to.
I LOVE PLANT BASED NEWS!!!
thank you!
So does UA-cam, pharma and the GMOs companies
Great interview. I like how he said you don’t have to be perfect but the more plant based foods you eat the greater the benefit.
Since 2014 I've been using my evolve electric longboard for fitness. During an hour workout i push for 200mtrs, walk up to the nose of the board and ride for 100mtrs and then repeat. Absolutely an enjoyable fitness. Christmas 2017 i started eating more of a plant based diet. Wow! more energy, clarity and feeling awesome everyday.
Plant Power! ☀️🤸🏼♀️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👏🏼 love Rich... one of the first vegan books I bought five years ago when I began my journey was his! Now I’ve got a whole library and feel better than ever! 🙏🏻📿💕
Incredibly informative and motivational. Rich Roll is so amazingly humble about his achievements and is out there to encourage everyone to better themselves. I appreciate this interview and wisdom gained immensely. Thank you!
Rich Roll is so inspiring xo
There was 2 vegan videos in the top ten trending youtube videos today!!!! About 3 million views on each video
Anna Smith Although the one on how to make vegan curry was horrible.
And ?
So ?
Debraval Reyes It means people are getting informed about a plant-based lifestyle and it’s benefits ✌️
"I never came back from a workout and wished I didbt do that". great
15th day as vegan. Am turning 60! Lost 10 pounds. Vegan for life!
How r u doing now?
Both of you are doing an amazing job. It really warms my heart how fast the revolution is going, and how fast the ratio of vegans/non-vegans around my friends is shifting towards the good side ;)
He Started in his late 30's. WORD! Thanks for the inspiration
Awesome interview and I love how Rich answered the questions Klaus had. I’ve recently gotten back to vegan 🌱 full time from keto. Type 2 diabetes behind me. Purchased a new aluminum hybrid bike which when the snow is gone here in Canada 🇨🇦, I’ll be out on the trails. I still go to the gym 3-4 times per week. Turning 55 March 31st, so not as much weight lifting, but more cardio to get fit and lean. 20gr of fat per day (naturally occurring fat from vegan foods). Lots of healthy carbs, vegetables and fruit. Just grab life and have fun !! 🚴🚴🚴🍑🥭🌾🏊♂️🚣♂️🥗🍠🌽🥦🥝🍅🫑🌶🍍🍉🍌
This guy is bad ass! i love his podcast.
Rich Roll is awesome! He's achieved and overcame so much yet he's humble.
His answers are perfect! I love this interview! Thank you
Rich Tells It Like It Is. What I like is that He explains that you need to do your best in Who You Are where You Live and What Your Circumstances are. Super Level Headed. I Love Rich!!
So cool to see that a vegan lifestyle actually works. I get it now and have started this back in September. Was so wrapped up in what all those big companies have pounded out as truths when they are actually MYTHS! Have never felt better and am improving so much!
Rich Roll is one of my gurus. I've been following him for some time and he's so admirable. Great interview ;)
Very honest in his talk... 👍
Rich is a beautiful person. Thanks for being who you are and inspiring people to better themselves and protect our environment.
Rich...you are an inspiration...
Thank you for being real human with humanity , you r awesome💚👍🏼I’m vegan and an professional athlete , lift heavy everyday , strong and energetic , love and enjoy people like you with a big heart and healthy mind🙌🏼
Wonderful video! Rich Roll is a clear example that you can be a vegan and be the best athlete in the world. X
i love how destroyed you looked at 2:45 but....... IT LOOKED LIKE A BEAUTIFUL THING. You and Durianrider are necessary in this world. I appreciate you 2 so much. Thank you
Love this guy so much!!! Rich Roll is amazing💕
Adriana Xcx - just wanna say, I love your picture! So cool.
Sabine R. Thank you hunny🖤
so well spoken! rich roll is such an inspiration!
Love Rich Roll right now. Such an inspiring guy. And congrats on an awesome interview.
Rachael Potter Rae?
Great person such an inspiration for me!I am a vegan fanatic and the only thing that makes me tired is to explain to close minded people how much veganism helps our world to become better...
Well done.....great stuff......I'm 55 and vegan....I ve never been more healthy and fitter , my minor inflammation in my tendons ve disappeared since becoming full time vegan.....
Just finished Finding Ultra! Great story, great book!
Rich Roll is incredible! Such an amazing transformation! Inspired me to run my first marathon 😊💪🌱 keep up the great work Plant Based News, I love your channel 💚
You are an inspiration to everyone in this world
He is gorgeous!!!
Awesome. Rich Roll is one of my inspirations for my Ultra Endurance endeavors as The Climate Cowboy being 100% vegan also.
He is relatable in so many ways and humble as can be. Love him.
"Just start" - on point ❤
What an amazing ambassador for veganism. Nice one...great interview.
"Roll model" for sure. Thank you.
I started last year to eat better via plant-based/Vegan/Vegetarian foods. And my body and arteries feels so much clearer and healthier. I did notice that when I ate the meats/heavy proteins that I felt quite sluggish and slower (I can attest to this because I tried both ways and my body can't lie to me). Yes, eat healthier and your body will reward you and thank you.
Mountain biking and running for me!Thank you you inspire me so much!
Been mainly plant based for past few years..in the beginning it was amazing..huge energy boost..burnt out after about 6 months of hard exercise..went a couple years vegan + fish for omegas...no difference... just started ground flax and b12 supplement last week, back to crazy energy level..did 6 cords og firewood couple days ago, 8 cords today and dont even feel phased :)
Glad you got it sorted!
Awesome that you interviewed Rich. Congrats to a good interview!
thanks
Rich’s voice 😍
Great video, so much encouraging information .
Today was the second time in a month that someone has guessed my age in the 30’s. One guessed me 32, another 36 and I have a short beard right now. But when I am clean shaving I actually look younger.
Point; listen to Roll and others like him, Clapper, Bernard, Davis, Popper...etc and adapt this clean way of living and eating.
By the way, I’m 48. ✅
MORBUENO GROUP it’s just good genetics. My SO is 35 but gets confused for 18 all the time. Even the high school kids think he’s a few years older than him but not much. he’s an omnivore
Elin Winblad, maybe to a point. But to quote some of the V greats,
“genetics load the barrel. Your diet pulls the trigger”.
💪🏽🌱💪🏽🌱
MORBUENO GROUP yes that’s why veganism didn’t end well for me. I went keto after but now I try only to eat animal products and veggies close to what my ancestors ate.
Elin Winblad Why didn’t veganism end well for you?
And you know, I actually did the reverse. I started out with keto. met my goals, and that’s when I made the switch to a WFPBD. I don’t eat animal, products, dairy, or any oil. Definitely no processed foods at all, of any kind. In the end, I think any one diet is not good for everyone. Ultimately it’s what works for you, your individual body and genetics. So try something, if you find it works for you, keep at it. If you don’t, then try something else until you find something that works for you. Agree?
💪🏽🌱💪🏽🌱
MORBUENO GROUP my back/spine started hurting/crunching sounds. My ancestry is pretty clear (we’ve (relative) track it to year 1200) which was all north Europe near arctic circle. So probably why it wasn’t great for me. They ate meat dairy and fish with root veggies. It’s funny before I went vegan I always thought it was strange my culture ate berries with heavy cream poured over . But it makes more sense now lol.
Yessss I love his podcast
I couldn't believe Rich is 51! For those who think vegans look older than they are!
JustOneSmallOlive I've seen people adopting a vegan diet looking way much younger than before. Mainly, it's the vegan diet.
Fanny Bass Absolutely fruit and vegies are antioxidants and great for the skin,
I didn't know people thought that. If anything it makes them look younger.
I mean he looks fine, but not amazingly young looking, it's not like he's 70.
stop the bs he does look his age not younger and most vegan look older at least the one on youtube look quite older and malnourished don't know why
Rich Roll looks late 30's, not 51! That's why you've got to go plant based.
Tbh, he does look 51.
They showed a pic of him at 36.... he had no grey hair or a wrinkled up face. Now he 51 and you say he looks like he in his 30s?
Wow your dumb
He does look 51, nothing wrong with that though. Most 51 year olds on the SAD look a decade or two older.
😆 I don’t know what kind of drug using hard life 30 year olds you know but they don’t look like that at 30 he looks his age I think you might be confusing his good looks (im referring to handsome not health in regards to looks) as being younger.
he looks old, he just colored his hair lol
I make those smoothies 2-3 times a day. Coffee is crap to me now! I just came back from playing soccer, and after a 2 hours of being home I want to go out for a jog already 😁 Fruits and veggies are so amazing to the body, my goodness.
Even the bible says a plant (vegetable) based diet is the best diet.
My hero, just makes me want to do more sport everytime I see him! Thank yiou Rich
Very highq quality interview with a lot of information! Thank you! For people interested in starting look up with starting on a starch diet since it's pretty easy and then going to a more nutritarian diet while trying to eat as much plant foods as possible!
So powerful motivational, gonna clean out my fridge now ☺ Thnx Klaus, thnx PBN ♥
You will enjoy every moment of life as a vegan.
I like what he said about "moving your body every day in a way you look forward to". I'm into mountain climbing. I've climbed cliffs that are thousands of feet tall, but no matter how many times I try it, I don't like running. So I don't do it, at least not very often. ;-)
Klaus, you should visit us here in Colorado! California is great, but the traffic sucks!!!
Humbling and insightful answers
Rich Roll is the most eloquent athlete I have ever heard
Just love him!!! He's such an inspiration! !! Male or female.
Fantastic interview! Thank you for an amazing job you are doing!
Shared this one on my clean living in crete facebook page...so good.
I LOVE RICH ROLL!!!! My role model!
Great stuff, Klaus....Rich is truly an inspiration.....

Love your work Klaus! Great interview with a great guy. Keep it coming.
As a plant based carnivore, this guy is a hero. His books are great. Not too preachy. Podcast is great too
Really excellent video! X
