Dana White isn’t shy about his distrust of the medical establishment when it comes to his own health. The UFC CEO has made clear he has no plans to change that approach anytime soon.
Dana White: Doctors, “They’re All Full of Sh*t”
“They’re all full of sht,” White said. “None of them know what they’re talking about. They’re all full of sht. All they know is to put you on pills and put you on medicine. That’s all they know.”
White’s comments stem from his own experience with prescription medication. He has said that he was previously on medication for cholesterol, thyroid issues, and high blood pressure, but claims he no longer needs any of those prescriptions. He credits the turnaround to lifestyle changes rather than continued reliance on doctors or pharmaceuticals.
Dana White’s Fitness Regime and Ice Baths Replace Doctor Visits
Instead of routine checkups, Dana White has leaned heavily into a personal fitness and recovery regimen, which reportedly includes disciplined training and regular ice baths. That approach appears to be central to how he explains stepping away from the medications he once relied on, framing his current health as a product of consistent physical effort rather than pharmaceutical management.
Dana White’s One Exception: Broken Bones
Dana White did leave the door open for one scenario. While he’s ruled out doctor visits for general health and wellness, he’s said a physical injury like a broken arm would be the one thing that sends him to see a doctor, drawing a clear line between what he considers legitimate medical need and routine checkups he’s chosen to avoid altogether.
His comments are likely to spark debate given his massive public platform and influence, especially among fans who may look to him as a lifestyle example.
