Zac Brown Sheds 60 Pounds with Radical Health Overhaul

From Processed Foods to Peptides: Country Star’s Transformation Revealed

Country music sensation Zac Brown has unveiled a dramatic shift in his lifestyle, focusing on a clean diet and innovative health treatments to achieve significant weight loss and enhanced well-being. The frontman for the Zac Brown Band shared his surprising approach in a recent interview.

A New Diet: Beyond Paleo

**Brown’s** dietary regimen now excludes gluten, dairy, sugar, and alcohol. He meticulously scrutinizes food labels, favoring a “paleo-inspired” plan rich in vegetables, quality proteins, and whole foods. This structured eating pattern involves three meals spaced four hours apart, followed by a 14-hour fasting period.

“The kind of oil that you intake, only avocado, olive, or coconut oil. That cuts out a lot, on top of those other restrictions. Everything has some kind of seed oil in it, sunflower oil or canola oil or something.”

The musician emphasized that even minor dietary changes, like eliminating seed oils in favor of avocado, olive, or coconut oil, have yielded noticeable improvements in how he feels.

Cutting-Edge Wellness Practices

Beyond diet, **Brown** engages in monthly bloodwork with a regenerative medicine specialist. His regimen includes stem cell treatments for regeneration, peptide therapy, and monthly IV infusions containing exosomes and NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). NAD is a vital molecule for cellular repair and energy production, with boosters gaining popularity in the longevity community. A 2024 study published in the journal *Cell Metabolism* highlighted the role of NAD+ precursors in cellular aging and potential therapeutic interventions, demonstrating the growing scientific interest in these compounds.

Fitness Fueled by Gaming and Grit

Inspired by **Bruce Springsteen’s** commitment to daily exercise, **Brown** has transformed his tour trailer into a mobile gym. He adheres to **Springsteen’s** advice: “I sweat for an hour a day, no matter where I am, what I’m doing, I sweat for an hour a day.” To make cardio more engaging, **Brown** plays video games like “Madden” and “Fortnite” on his Arc Trainer, transforming a perceived chore into an enjoyable activity.

This comprehensive lifestyle shift has resulted in a remarkable weight loss of over 60 pounds, bringing Brown from a peak weight of 265 pounds down to just under 200 pounds.
