From 300lbs to Ironman -- How Charlie Jabaley Completely Transformed His Life
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Morbidly obese, clinically depressed and suffering from a brain tumor, the future wasn't looking bright for Charlie Jabaley. So he decided to change one thing about his life -- everything.
Walking away from a successful career managing Grammy-winning hip hop artists, he decamped Atlanta for LA., adopted a plant-based diet and began training for an ironman.
Nine months later Charlie is 120 pounds slimmer. His brain tumor has shrunk without medication. He's happy for the first time. But most of all, he has achieved his childhood dream of becoming an athlete and found purpose in inspiring others.
Today I share the powerful tale of this inspiring everyman.
Enjoy!
✌🏼🌱 - Rich

Fantastic interview! What a great way to start the new year! Thanks for sharing Charlie’s story!
My God! I have been studying this stuff for like 23 years. I have made myself crazy watching so many videos about vegan, raw food, vegan, whole food plant-based, etc. This kid summed it up in the easiest way possible. I want to cry. His energy is beautiful and I am here for it!❤🎉❤🎉
Thank you for this Rich and Charlie. I am morbidly obese and this has really helped me realise it doesn't have to be the end of the road for me.
Hello Rae, thank you for being open and sharing your current situation. What steps, if any, have you started taking to reach your goals? I hope you continue to share and update us on here.
Hello Rae, I wish all the best in your journey, I am also very obese.. much love
@EJ M thank you very much, this is very kind of you, I also wish you peace and happiness,,
Naa dude this is just the start. You can achieve anything. Just keep on learning.
Chef AJ's RUclips channel is ever so helpful for losing weight and maintaining it!
Really enjoyed this episode ...thank you Rich and Charlie!!
Now he reminds me of Wayne Newton! gotta love a man that gets & does the thing provides!for others!helping men! So heartfelt and real!
Im on a winning streak!
Benihana guy LMFAO
Very Inspirational:) i had cancer almost 6 years ago and now i live a vegan life and i feel great
This is a late reply but I had to. My maternal uncle was diagnosed with brain tumour which was cancerous. He was made to go through chemo and they fed him huge amounts of meat and eggs for a bedridden man. We changed his diet to a plant based fruit and veg and herbal medicine and he started walking again. But his family again went back to meat and eggs and unfortunately we lost him end of 2017. If only they had continued with fruits, veg and herbal meds.
Wish you all the health and vitality.
@@hagarthehorrible1391 wtf brain cancer is almost inevitable eggs and meat don't give cancer, sorry for your loss
Much love, I wish you all the best
@@AbdallaChannel Thank you😊
My big take away from this podcast. my A-ha moment : "It's important to have rules, not too many rules, but enough rules that take the decision fatigue out of how you're going to approach your day. " - Rich Roll
lol, its funny how its exactly on the 1:00:00 mark.
Rich thank you for this interview. I could relate to everything that was said: hidden dreams of being an athlete , bing eating in the car every night and looking at people like you and just wanting be at the same place physically, mentally and emotionally. Thank you for what you are doing in changing people’s lives. Sending you positive energy!
Oh, Charlie . . . You are SO AWESOME! I love your story, your spirit, your joy and your heart. And I hope your light shines on the whole world for a really long time.
holy shit rich, your looking like a hollywood star now! You look great
There is such a rhythm to how Charlie speaks. He lives his life with so much poetic perspective it's really inspiring.
I heard Mel Robbins say the finding your purpose is not about the activity but about having better feelings or more energy after the activity. The activity can be irrelevant. This clicked with me, because so many people are looking for their purpose as an activity and not as a feeling which is what it is. They are looking in the wrong place.
reconnecting with our center, our universe, seems too fluffy to say there is No substance in that, it's too far out there, but to find the means to bring in this out-worldly thinking, it is about where to look. thx Noel.
I love how Rich is so eloquent !
No Rich, he's not giving you too much credit, because you're story is doing the same thing for me, along with your podcast. I read Finding Ultra last month and it's inpired made you get into CrossFit and I'm looking into marathons. I was 280 pounds last year and went vegan. I'm on my way to a much healthier and fitter life thanks partly to you and your guests. So thank you! I'm 50 btw. 💚🌱
Great podcast Rich! I have struggled with binge eating my whole life and i know the pain he is talking about. After a major binge, my skin all over my body will hurt and feel like its bruised. Ive never heard anyone else say this either. This one really hit home. ❤
Love Rich Roll podcasts. This is one amazing podcast.
That is toxins settling under the skin.
Wow. What a guy! Thank you for letting him tell his story, had me in tears a few times. Much needed inspiration ♥️🌱
Loved his analogy of the soil, roots and tree. An amazing and driven young man.
Straight from the Bible! Beautiful.
This one hit home with me.
This is so powerful - I love the bit about how all the information we need is available but it's the stories from individuals which can really touch the heart - and then take heart and do it our own way - this is a unique way of putting it.
That's real strength. You can hear his gratefulness when he is talking. And Rich is so good in interviewing him.
Dr. John McDougall had the whole food diet program 30 years ago. Why folks didn’t find him early on......
I barely found out about it 3 months ago. I think they only advertise by word of mouth.
Amazing story and results!
Food addiction recovery! Great podcast Rich!! Thanks for your dedication man!
Another mind blowing story, person, episode. Eternally thankful for your work Rich. That rocket is fired up🙌🏽
Thanks for bringing this guys message to me. His motivation is contagious. Great vision 🙌
I ate so much cauliflower yesterday I'm still stuffed LOL
Eat that raw you know it's nutrient dense and the optimal way to eat it.
Wow I love watching Rich Roll formulate his articulate sentences and his small expressive movements with his hands. He really has a lot of contentedness in parts of this interview, like when he speaks about taking on running an Iron Man. He's like holding this contented joy while giving these well thought out words. It's so cute. I wish Rich Roll was my dad. haha.
Just listened to this one, and I loved it!! Charlie's story is amazing. Gives me a lot of inspiration.
Absolutely loved this! Can't wait to see what Charlie does next! 🥬🥝🥦
This was the very first podcast I have ever listened to & I listened because I saw Charlie on instagram and I love his motivation and passion to follow what he loves. I want to share with you, about two hours before I came across the podcast I said to myself “I am so boring, kinda lame, I don’t have a cool nickname, nothing I am really known for or anyone cares about” it was inspirational to hear why Charlie, becomes Charlie Rocket and he added the headband and sunglasses. I get it, it makes since to me. Thank you both, I can’t wait to learn, follow and hear more!
His heart is so genuine. Sooo happy for him💕💕💕
I love this. You've made me think of my own health journey differently. I like the buttery/caterpillar analogy. ☮️🌱
Hey Rich started listening to your podcasts a few weeks back and this afternoon I started listening to this on Spotify given my history - I was diagnosed a with a pituitary adenoma (benign tumor) a week after this particular episode was published on Spotify back on January 8th. I ended up going a different a different route and had the tumor removed on Feb 15th, went whole food plant based on Feb 19th, and have not looked back. My IGF-1 levels have (at least for now) fallen back into normal levels and many of the acromegaly related issues are beginning to reverse (though some are here to stay I think). Thanks for all the info, the great interviews and the inspiration. BTW, your most recent episode was Dr Ornish and his wife was amazing.
Great choice for a podcast! Thank you Rich and THANK YOU Charlie! Very inspiring!
Thanks
Really enjoyed this podcast
Very straight to the heart talk
Harmony to all
Oh baby this one is good ... Charlie Rocket inspiring! Rich as always you deliver!
So good. That guy has heart and his energy is contagious. Talk about service, giving out his email and offering help to anyone who needs it. Once his wife comes in to his life she will be a lucky woman!
had to watch the whole thing. love his vision
Absolutely brilliant podcast huge congrats Charlie well done mate I can definitely relate not with weight loss but from a mental health perspective and ironman.
Rich Roll you are a true inspiration brother I would love to be on your podcast to tell my story.
A great interview starts with a great interviewee. This is my first time on this channel and I loved the whole thing.
EXCELLENT RICH!!!! SO Glad you do VIDEO now!!! Peace from Hanoi, Vietnam.
Thanks Rich. Keep those podcasts rolling!
This story had me in tears. Thank you
Guess what Charlie, you're a beautiful butterfly! Own it!❤
Love this kid. Thank you for having him on , Rich. You and he are both such an inspiration to me. Keep shining. Sending good energy from Dallas, Tx ! Plant power baby!!! :)
"The lighthouse doesn't move up and down the shore line looking for a crowd. It stays right where it is." - Rich Roll
Charlie should make a nonprofit organization that has projects to help counter obesity. His anti-tumor plant diet could be the basis for it.
I love this guy and everything he said resonated! Awesome intervew!
ThE POWER OF PLANTS,! WHAT AN INSPIRING MESSAGE...
This interview gave me a lot to think about, but I was particularly intrigued by the idea that it's easier to go bold - thanks to both of you!
Spotted Maxime Chaya's book!! A classmate of my dad!! What a coincidence hahaha
so Heartwarming and inspiring. So refreshing and raw. I love it. Gives me hope! Thanks for doing what u do RR.
Thank you SO much for this interview. It's so humiliating being obese, people do think you've "given up, let yourself go, are lazy or depressed" when I too feel like I have a Ph.D. in dieting - I've tried EVERY diet to. I've just recently looked into raw food diet, and I was so inspired by Rich's story and a few other people who've transformed their lives with raw food (and running).
Thanks Rich for having Charlie. And thanks Charlie for being an inspiration. The topic on quantum physics and aligning to a higher frequency through changes in the food you eat and lifestyle resonated with me. I experienced the same. The universe has opened up a lot of opportunities for me when I started to align with my true self and values, evident on my food choice, compassion and purpose. This is really powerful stuff I hope everyone gets to experience. Life becomes more awesome when you don't consume death.
Great interview!!!
His heart is so sweet and beautiful. I want to know more about the arena in the quantum realm..if either you or Charlie recommend any books or teachers.
Love your videos and podcasts Rich. Thanks.
That would be so amazing if you could help Oprah!!
I don't think anyone can help 0prah. She has had multiple trainers, a psychiatrist best friend, her own staff of dieticians and chefs, and then even bought a diet loss company and still can't lose weight.
G Nickson Oprah needs to hit rock bottom to be motivated to change.
Watched this one an impulse and it had such an affect on me. Great conversations.
rr: incredible symetry with your guest / cj: love ur comment : "this is what i instictively knew and this is what i chose" wow!
That was a good podcast
What a way to start the year off!
such positive energy
GOING bold. Healthy fear. Everything was bad. Roads of avoidance. Focusing on service and self care. Promise. 😻😸😺🎶
This was the best motivational interview ever!! THANKS SO MUCH.
Hi level of insulin in the blood feed the tumor.... remove all the crap, insulin drops, no food for the tumor(insulin)... presto. Well done man. Rich, keep up the great work... holding up the health aspect here in Oz with unhealthy overweight CEOs..your book inspiration...triathlon now over 7 months...transformational..cheers RR
Way to go, Charlie. I'm on the exact same trajectory. All the struggle part felt like my life being articulated. Your journey is a real life evidence that there's light at the end of the tunnel. There is hope!
And RichRoll is such a saint. Absolutely love his poise, demeanor, articulation. ❤️
Hi Rich, my friend instagram.com/runningtheparks/?hl=en (Instagram handle) Bill Sycalik wanted to have you on his blog / instagram. Kindly let me know if interested . Thank you.
Mhm 😂😂 I love these two
The term "decision fatigue" really hit home with me. If I were to only eat LIVING foods, then all the decision making goes away! I love this concept!
Legenda em português!
I LOVED this interview !!
How about eating living creatures (larvas, insects, fish etc.) ?! Obviously not in our nature but still a possibility if hungry enough / starving 🙂
Absolutely love his mindset and energy levels, some awe inspiring analogies used in this podcast. Respect!!
Very humble ,young down to earth youngster who has dabbled in many things ,faced many serious health issues ,drowned in the abyss and re emerged as a brand new person mentally and physically with shear grit and resilence and is now on top of the world .The podcast was engrossing and this youngster is really inspiring and i wish him my best wishes to accomplish his goals and help the global community.
Best of luck charlie👍
Rich this is an amazing amazing story. Love this is sooooooooo many levels. I had a Pituitary tumor too, so this has touch me in my soul. WOW WOW.... keep doing your podcast.
SO much passion. Love the Southern accent! Thanks for this awesome podcast Rich! So motivating. Great conversation :)
Excellent Story! Thank you!
Charlie fell into the most common sense diet on the planet.....eating vegetables, fruits as the centerpiece of the diet with minimal amounts of meat and animal products is all it takes. I wish I had not wasted so much time with all the fad diets (Keto, etc).
This was so heart warming, thanks guys!
This kid is full of it, but whatever works for him, fair play, main problem is the sad diet in the first place government's makes everyone ill and let's cheap food circulate lots of people ate sick when they should be healthier if they just ate what humans are supposed to eat.
It was such an inspiring podcast! Service, self-care and listening to your heart and everything will fall into place.
I feel like Charlie would’ve made a great hero turned villain archetype if rich had broken his heart with the quantum physics thing
Stay till the end.. The last 5 minutes of this podcast made me went.. wow.. stories to open up exploration of the heart.. I love that idea.
Loved this podcast. 🙌
I wouldn't normally listen to someone like Charlie Jabeley as I have no interest in hip-hop. But this is a great testimony and there are some great takeaways.
I think this podcast resonates with me more than any other podcast I’ve heard-and I listen to a lot of them. :) Thanks for this.
I love you Rich Roll! I totally feel the same way as Charlie feels about you. I'm your disciple
How long did his journey take from fat to triathlete/competition ready?
``1:07 "somebody's life is going to change by watching this"
yep
Awesome podcast! This is definitely my favorite one since Wim Hof was on. This one was touching and inspiring.
Such a wonderful and thoughtful conversation. Thanks for sharing with us!
Who knew what lives within, what a healthy looking fellow. Amazing
Is he dash from the incredibles or what?LOL
Beautiful testimony!
This episode has awaken something inside of me that has been dormant for years. Thank you guys
Commenting already, only a few minutes in.... I cannot stop smiling with this guy! I was just sitting here reading “The Power” and I started getting sleepy, so I thought, let me check out one of Rich’s podcasts, and I remarkably clicked on this one. How fitting. This young man is amazing and he is glowing with possibilities. I’m definitely keeping my eye on this kid. Thank you Rich and Universe for bringing this about. ❤️
You rock! Thanks Kim!
LOVE this guy!!
