Joe Rogan Experience #1345 - Steve Aoki

Aoki describes how journaling about therapy sessions and life events helped him understand his own patterns, organize memories, and ultimately shape a coherent memoir that reveals deeper vulnerabilities.

For a musician used to expressing himself through sound, tackling a book forced Aoki to confront different skills, emotions, and forms of vulnerability, which in turn deepened the emotional dimension of his music.

Touring ~250 shows a year for over a decade, Aoki manages jet lag, sleep, nutrition, and training like an athlete, working with scientists and doctors and using himself as a guinea pig to stay physically and mentally functional.

Triggered by his father’s death from complications related to hepatitis C and cancer, Aoki became obsessed with anti-aging, funding brain and longevity research, exploring early cancer-detection tests, and even signing up for cryonics as a long-shot “insurance policy.”

Their discussion of stem cell treatments, Regenokine, and cutting-edge orthopedic techniques shows how athletes and performers are extending careers, healing disc and tendon damage, and avoiding major surgeries through new therapies.
