Gibson appeared onThe Joe Rogan Experienceearlier this week and the two spoke about varying topics but they focused a lot on health and alternative medicine. After criticizing the government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gibson revealed that he could not walk for three days after taking remdesivir, a primary medication that was given for treatment.
The actor also spoke abouthis weight-loss journey and revealed that he tried Gary Brecka’s popular diet and lost 30 pounds. The diet prescribes the 30:30:30 rule which recommends eating 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up followed by 30 minutes of low-intensity exercise (viaHealthline). Gibson said,
Did you do the Brecka thing…me too. I lost like 30 pounds…I was talking to Dana [White] and he said, ‘Oh you know’… I said yeah I got to do something about this. I’m 5’10, 235 [pounds] you know? That’s too fat. So, I had to sort of roll it back. Now I’m under 200 which is about… should be you know? That was the Brecka stuff.
When asked, Joe Rogan admitted to undergoing the diet too, and spoke about how Gary Brecka’s system was not as well-accepted, circling back to their conversation about alternative treatments.

This incredible weight loss was reportedly the result of being coached by an Australian health coach he met during a dinner in the country. Sam Jackson (not the actor) reportedly met Gibson at a restaurant and as they struck up a conversation, Gibson spoke about wanting to reduce his belly fat. Jackson said (viaMen’s Health),
We all got talking and he started saying how he has this belly he can’t get rid of and I said ‘Give me eight weeks with you, I’ll get rid of it.’ I told him I’d teach him how to eat properly and coach him through it.
Jackson said that though he initially thought it would just be an empty promise, Gibson came through and followed the plan prescribed by the coach.
