Trying Not To Die

Joe Manganiello joins Jack Osbourne on Trying Not To Die to reveal the mysterious illness that nearly killed him and why he kept his seven-year battle largely hidden from the public. After losing nearly 60 pounds and having his large intestine removed, Joe began a profound spiritual journey that took him through Santeria rituals, encounters with shamans, and a deeper exploration of his family history and ancestral trauma. Joe and Jack discuss generational curses, sobriety, the relationship between suffering and purpose, and how these experiences inspired Joe's new book, Bloodlines.
