The Game Changers (2018), executive produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jackie Chan, is a documentary that follows James Wilks, an elite Special Forces trainer and winner of The Ultimate Fighter, as he travels the world exploring the science and benefits of plant-based nutrition.

Directed by Oscar-winner Louie Psihoyos, the film features extraordinary athletes including multiple-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic and 2011 Germany's Strongest Man Patrik Baboumian, alongside special ops soldiers and visionary scientists. Through their stories and scientific evidence, Wilks' journey exposes outdated myths about meat, protein, and strength that affect not only athletic performance but the health of the global population.

"Gladiators ate a plant based diet!"

Yeah cause they were slaves, slaves don't get meat.

Roman gladiators received better medical care than the average Roman citizen, including bone setting, wound treatment, basic surgery, and regular health monitoring.

They received structured training that was above average for their time period. This specialized care was provided because gladiators were valuable investments—they were expensive to train and maintain, and their "owners" wanted to protect their assets.

Their plant-based diet, heavy in grains and legumes, was specifically designed for elite athletic performance—similar to how modern athletes follow carefully planned nutrition programs. They were nicknamed "hordearii" (barley men) because of this diet.

This wasn't a "slave diet"—it was premium sports nutrition by Roman standards, followed by both enslaved and free gladiators alike, and even adopted by wealthy Romans who trained as gladiators.

*Typo correction: While Novak Djokovic served as an executive producer, he is not featured in the documentary.

"There is a podcast episode of the Joe Rogan Experience that breaks down supposed inaccuracies in this documentary. In December 2019 James Wilks went on Joe Rogan's show and responded to the criticism and debated Chris Kresser for [nearly] 4 hours. Joe Rogan was so impressed he said he's considering taking the original show with Kresser offline."

I encourage everyone to watch this after watching the documentary—especially those who are considering a carnivore diet.
