On episode #1424 of JRE in February 2020, UFC color commentator Joe Rogan revealed that he suffered from vitiligo. Speaking to American comedian Tom Papa on the podcast, Rogan stated that a month-long full carnivore diet helped him combat the skin condition:

"I know quite a few people who that've done it [carnivore diet] that have had some serious results... Serious results with autoimmune issues too. I have vitiligo which is an autoimmune disease, which causes you to have these patches where you don't have any pigment, and this month I have the best results I've ever had with vitiligo, with spots filling in."
