Joe Rogan is a very popular personality in the world of entertainment. The podcast host is known to raise awareness about various important topics through his podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. One of the most discussed topics in his podcast is sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a disorder that disrupts the normal breathing process while a person is asleep.
Joe Rogan suffers from this disorder, and that’s why he uses the JRE podcast to spread awareness about sleep apnea. During episode number 1474 of the podcast, he talked about a snoring device that has helped him a lot to tackle the disorder. While talking to Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Rogan revealed details about his snoring mouthpiece, which he uses over CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines.
According to Joe, he got his device from Dr. Bryan Keropian, who is the developer of this mouthpiece. “He devised a mouthpiece that has like a little tongue depressor…The mouthpiece sits in my mouth and the tongue depressor keeps my tongue from sliding back and closing my airway,” explained Rogan.
Furthermore, Rogan claimed that this snoring device is much more comfortable than the CPAP machine. “A lot of people have problems with CPAPs, it’s uncomfortable wearing a mask over your face, that’s how I felt,” said the UFC commentator. He further explains that it is almost impossible for him to sleep without his snoring device because of his big tongue.

“I have a big tongue, when I lay down it closes the airway so my tongue slides,” said Rogan. Keropian’s snoring mouthpiece is very suitable and comfortable for his tongue. According to Joe, this device makes a huge difference for athletes, wrestlers, and football players who have muscular necks. In conclusion, this device is more comfortable than CPAPs for people with big necks and tongues, according to the UFC commentator.
Joe Rogan spreads awareness about sleep apnea on a plane
Joe Rogan has been a strong advocate for spreading awareness about sleep apnea and his snoring device. During one of his podcasts, he told a story about helping a stranger suffering from sleep apnea on a plane. According to Rogan, there was a heavy guy sitting behind him who was snoring very loudly, and then his breathing would stop for a few seconds.
Furthermore, when that person woke up, Joe told him that he had sleep apnea. “I said do you know you have sleep apnea? He’s like what do you mean and I said okay, let me tell you what’s going on,“ explained Rogan. After this interaction, Joe Rogan decided to show the man his snoring device and explain the whole situation. “I said that you got to go to a doctor…It will change your life now,“ said the podcast host.
