And it was Rogan who introduced Crowe to the company and its founder Brigham Buhler, who put the New Zealand-born Aussie star on a path to better health.<\/p>\n
As part of his personalised programme, Crowe said he has been receiving injections into his \u201cdeeply arthritic\u201d shoulders to help with previous injuries, thus helping him hit the gym without pain.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve probably connected with them about five times since that first time, and the real benefit I\u2019m getting that I think, right, because I\u2019m not completely over the science, but it seems to be with these injections that I\u2019ve been getting into my shoulders, my knees, but also these IVs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWays2Well was a great call for me because it\u2019s calmed down a bunch of stuff. It\u2019s taking a bunch of pain away so I can go and work out and not have to suffer for two or three hours afterwards. It\u2019s calmed down my body\u2019s inflammation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crow said that before his health kick, he could barely raise his arms, but \u201cnow it\u2019s f***ing rock and roll, son. It\u2019s all going good.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just feeling the musculature starting to build,\u201d he said, before adding that he is \u201ctaking it really slowly\u201d and not looking for a quick fix.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the things I was worried about was [filming] Highlander because jumping into that role with the shooting date coming it was like, \u2018Man, I\u2019ve got to do three workouts a day\u2019. And that for me is a bad recipe.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I can do that for an X amount of time, but once I stop I\u2019m going to stop completely, and what I want to do is I want to make all these changes and make it a long-term situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018My goddamn right\u2019<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the podcast, Crowe also says cutting back on his alcohol consumption is a major contributing factor to his weight loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a big proponent for having a drink \u2013 it\u2019s my cultural heritage and as a working-class man, it\u2019s my goddamn right,\u201d Crowe said. \u201cBut as you get older, there are certain things you start to learn about your capacities.\u201d<\/p>\n
The star said at his age, one night a week of \u201cfun\u201d was \u201cplenty\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I decide to have a glass of wine with dinner, it\u2019s going to be a really nice wine,\u201d he explained. \u201cI try not to have casual drinks, now. [As in] having a drink for the sake of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
