Episode Highlights
Health Shift
Rick Ross shares his journey of overcoming health challenges, particularly seizures, which were a wake-up call for him to change his lifestyle. He recounts how his initial seizures occurred due to a lack of rest and the consumption of substances like Tussionex, which he used to fuel long studio sessions 1. Recognizing the toll on his body, Rick shifted to healthier habits, such as taking naps and enjoying champagne and cannabis in moderation.
I no longer mess with the Tussionex or the Lean... I rest now, believe it or not, I never took naps in my life.
