Jelly Roll Drops 275 Pounds, Lands Men’s Health Cover and Documentary Feature

A new Men’s Health cover plus short film capture a therapy-first, medically supported reset that treats overeating as addiction.

Overview

  • The Winter 2026 issue and Men’s Health short documentary A Year for a Life present his current weight at about 265 pounds after falling from roughly 540.
  • He says the turning point was seeking therapy for overeating, reframing it as a food addiction before tackling diet or workouts.
  • Pre-transformation bloodwork showed very low testosterone around 57 ng/dL with high insulin and cholesterol, leading to lifelong testosterone replacement therapy and marked improvements in libido and daily function.
  • His program relied on a medical team at Ways2Well, chef and sports nutritionist Ian Larios, trainers and daily physiotherapy, emphasizing whole foods, calorie tracking and progressive movement like boxing, basketball and stair runs.
  • Jelly Roll has stated he did not use weight-loss drugs, though an editor’s note says he briefly tried an unnamed medication for two weeks before stopping.
