The Real-Life Diet of Danny Brown, Who Wants to Get His Dick Lasered

It’s either this, going all the way down the rabbit hole eating 12 biscuits type shit, or it’s none of this shit at all. I got to go straight clean. Then my girl, she works at a medi-spa and she’s older and she’s going through menopause and stuff like that, so she started getting TRT shots.

Oh, really?

Man, her energy just increased. Her sleep got better. She was like, yo. Then she was seeing me, and she’s like, “You want to start working out and shit but you don’t want to try TRT?” I was like, fuck, so then I tried the TRT but it got infected. It wouldn’t take. I was shooting through the pellets. Once I got the TRT, it maybe lasted for a month. But in my head I’m like, if I’m doing shit like this, I got to be working. I can’t be playing games. That made me get on it strict, eating right, doing everything. I’m not about to be doing some weird shit and not doing the other part. It’s like taking steroids, it don’t work out, you know what I’m saying, type shit. That gave me the motivation to really be like, if I’m going to be doing this, I got to make it reach its maximum potential. That started my journey of working out, and I just didn’t stop.

Have you fucked around with other supplements?

I have. Peptides. I fucked with some SARMs before, too, but I figured out how to take care of the pellet situation. My shit is through the roof now. I’m getting sweats all the time, TRT sweats. My whole shirt be drenched, burning fat just sitting here talking to you.

Have you gone back into the fast food world or are you eating clean now?

Recently when I was just trying to bulk up, I was having a few dirty days. I’d be like, fuck that, let’s go, I need my calories anyway. But like I said, I just understand this macro shit now. Once you understand that, it’s a game changer. Because now, I don’t count the scale no more. Before I would wake up and weigh myself every day, just to make sure it’s not getting out of control. Now I just go to the mirror and I know after a good day of eating—and when I drink enough water—the body, it’d be bodying. You know what I’m saying? It be bodying. That one night I want to eat some fries and drink Cokes and shit, I love it.

Do you feel bad after that, though?

I look bad. It don’t even matter. It feels great when I’m doing it, but the next day when I look at myself I’m like, you fucked up.

Are you standing there flexing in the mirror?

Always that. I’m thirst trap king. Just for myself, though. My phone is insane, but just for myself. What stopped me in my tracks—now I look back at a picture from the beginning of June—I was like, damn, how did I do that? I got to get back to that.

Was that when you were at 4% body fat?

Yeah. I think I’m 10 or 11% now, still athletic.

4% seems a little scary.

It was malnourishment. I was fainting all the time. You ain’t doing nothing when you that size. I was drinking 10 cups of coffee a day. So I do say this, I gained the 10 pounds and that 150 felt amazing. Now I’m on the intermittent [fasting], that shit, it’s just giving me shit ton of energy. Now I can still be in the 140s and I’m groovy, baby.

Are you like, I’ll try anything once?

I’m a biohacking motherfucker. Austin is all about that. I feel like it’s the community. Now they got the fucking dick laser shit.

What’s the dick laser shit?

I don’t know. They doing something, like, regenerative. They rubbing some infrared shit on your dick and it’s like bringing that shit back.

I don’t know what that is.

I’m tapping in. I’m tapping in.

Yeah, I’ve seen him. We went to something, it said he was DJing. It was his party. He wasn’t there. He was on a TV screen and everybody was just sitting there looking at him like he fucking Professor X or something. He did a Q&A and it was funny though because they wasn’t having that shit. I do believe him about boner help, though. It is real. That’s why I’m trying to get my shit lasered.

So you’ll have better boners?

Better blood flow. It rejuvenates the cells or some shit. They’re like, “My shit is back! Like I’m 16 again.”

What was the hardest part for you about getting sober?

I guess the hardest part for anybody, I think, is the boredom. You’re like, what did I used to be doing? It’s so much time in the day now. What was I doing? You was fucked up! You was asleep somewhere. But even weed, this still doesn’t really count for me. One of the best things—the life changing thing for me—was going to do the TRT shit. Now I’m getting my blood work done all the time. From that, we found out I had a stomach condition that’s hereditary that I’ve had my entire life.

You had no idea?

Nope. Fava bean would take me out the game right now. I can’t eat no beans, no peanuts, a lot of greens I can’t eat. I remember a time in my life where I would wake up from eating bullshit and my stomach would be in pain. I’d be like, I just need a blunt. It would make me feel so much better. I would smoke weed and it would make my stomach feel better.

Classic move.

Gut health is real. It’s a priority for your mental health, and I didn’t really know that. For my stomach, I’ve been on the BPC 157. Frag, I take that, that’s great for gut health. But that’s also great so you don’t get sore from working out. The BPC, that shit next level, you good. I ain’t been sore in forever.

What vice do you miss the most?

I’m smoking what I really love. The weed always was number one. I wouldn’t say I miss anything because to be honest, there’s a lot of things you can do that fills that void for me. I like taking edibles and going to the float tank. An hour of that shit, it’s the best therapy in the world.
