Hey Gordon and Sonny. So good of you to share your story as you go through this. I know from personal experience how challenging intestinal problems can be. I was bedridden for almost a year due to a combined infection of H. Pylori (stomach), parasites & Candida (intestines) back in 2013. This ordeal was my trial by fire into the world of functional medicine. It took me years to regain my gut health. My breakthrough came when I had a complex therapy with a German doctor here in Munich who treated me with a mix of allopathic & functional medicine. This doctor is a major leader in mitochondrial medicine here in Europe. Since my recovery I have been working with him and we are educating doctors over here about his approach. The biggest mistake being made is this: the focus is only on gut health, which is not enough. ALL the body systems that are struggling need to be treated at the same time: starting with cell membrane health (this is absolutely critical, think nutrients need to go in effectively & toxins need to go out), liver health (for biotransformation, regeneration & protein synthesis), inflammation control (due to the current chronic infections, this is the main reason for low energy), the immune system (to effectively and aggressively deal with infections), mitochondrial health (for energy production and immune system health) AND of course gut health. What has worked incredibly well for me as a base therapy has been amino acids in powder form or IV instead of protein for a while (excess undigested protein can lead to amonnia buildup causing a lot of serious problems that stop recovery) and cell membrane therapy in the form of phospholipids and omega 3's. In the case of biofilm therapy, there is an approach that mechanically dissolves the biofilm (due to a specific type of fiber) from the walls of the intestinal mucosa in 4-5 days. Before this happens, you need to take probiotics AND prebiotics to rebuild the healthy biofilm and gut microbiome. Please contact me, I'd be happy to share what I've learned from my own experience, what has worked. Obviously I'm not a doctor and don't want to pretend to be one on the internet, luckily I know a few who are really good at their craft. Good luck, Gordon, on your healing journey. You will learn so much about 21st century medicine and this will be very valuable to all your students in the future. My major take away from going though this was this: Always focus on the solution (healthy mitochondria and what they need to thrive) and not so much on the problem (the diagnosis and its disease mechanism). If the body has what it needs to heal and recover, it will do its job in due time. Regards, Matt
I had same problem but my stomach was paralyzed from damage to vagus nerve in neck,last option was a pace maker for stomach but in last ditched effort I tried dry needling to stimulate nerve and have had some luck
@@bryceclark8985 Yes I did a 7 day maple water fast after Dr. Kharrazian , a functional medicine expert, which was incredibly effective to bring my inflammation down. I drank up to 3 liters of water. Per 1 l of water I added 1 tsp of high grade maple syrup to keep my blood sugar stable. Was the best fasting experience I ever had... Later on I did a very focused gut healing program to deal with the dysbiosis though.
Man, that sounds horrible, glad you got better. I think dysbiosis is going to be more and more common because modern life encourages it on every level. Antibiotics, excess intake, low quality intake, and lack of time in nature to get the macro\micro biome reflection. I love working in a natural garden and get the dirt all over me and eat carrots without washing them, just brush them off. I see that as a sort of complicated probiotic. Otherwise I try to eat a lot of different plant fibers to encourage gut diversity so they make all their magic chemicals in there that help encourage homeostasis. Also stay hydrated, not drink chlorinated water, get good sleep, and playfully water fast every day for the last 10 years. Had appendicitis a couple years ago, had to take antibiotics, got diarrhea, probiotics taken in between rounds took it away immediately. Hasn't been a problem since but I figure I must have lost gut diversity.
Hi there! I've been going through a challenging journey with gut health since contracting COVID-19 in 2021. Unfortunately, H. pylori wreaked havoc on my stomach, and any food I consumed would trigger severe flare-ups lasting for weeks. It was a difficult time, as I could barely eat anything. However, after being prescribed a combination of antibiotics and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), I was able to heal my stomach, but it seems to have disrupted the balance in my intestines. Recent stool tests revealed a significant overgrowth of bacteria that thrive on mycotoxins, so I suspect I might also be dealing with a yeast overgrowth. I'm reaching out to kindly ask for your guidance. Could you please share information about the specific fiber you mentioned that helps clear biofilm? If you don't mind, I'd also appreciate it if you could provide details about the prebiotic and probiotic protocol you found most effective. Additionally, any recommendations on supplements that could support my gut healing journey would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance for your time and support!
Gordon I’m glad you’re learning that suffering in silence is not always the correct thing. It’s a good thing to share your story and to seek support from other people, absolutely nothing wrong with that.
@@complexdetai He’s the most famous jj athlete bro, and he’s going through something so many are curious about, including me. It’s not glazing. Even you who is a hater watched the video and commented, now imagine how curious his actual fans are. Quit hating my guy, he’s the best no gi jiu jitsu athlete to ever do it (not glazing, just a fact). Why don’t you go ahead and try achieving that title?
I am a Brazilian 🇧🇷 and praying for you get better my bro. The jiu-jitsu is losing so much for dont't have you fighting. I hope god make your health better.
I have a huge phobia that I am going to die of stomach cancer. My doctor says I have the next two years to look forward to stomach surgeries. I'm focusing on raising my children and teaching the word of God. Hopefully I make it to 40 years old. Hopefully, Gordon makes it to 100. Keep up the work, brother.
That sucks. Fear is very hard to manage. The only answer I have for it is acceptance. We are mortal, that's all there is to it. My ego doesn't like it one bit, but it's still true. I hope you get many more years with your family before then. Try some deep breathing exercises using heart rate variability biofeedback, it has really helped me when I can't stop an emotional stress feedback loop. Stress is actively bad for you, worrying about then worst outcome all the time is harmful to your well being on many levels.
@charliedhaliwal7209 thanks for the encouragement. That was my idea too. I had a 7 day fast last month and stopped cause and it scared my wife that I was eating so little. Now I'm eating 1 or 2 times a day, when I eat.
you an inspiration to hundreds of thousands of jujitsu practitioners, I hope you keep fighting this debilitating condition and put on more great shows.
Gordon, you're very lucky to have Nat, she's very supportive and you can see she really cares... A lot. Hope you recover soon and are back doing what you love. Blessings.
Used to have major stomach issues until I ate strict low carb Paleo and for a year and did a heavy metal detox for a few months. No processed foods at all. Lost like 30 pounds, but now can eat whatever, but still eat very clean and gained all the weight back plus more.
My son has been battled Crohn’s disease his entire life. He also has been in jiujitsu and wrestling for most of that time. Seeing what he has gone through and now faces in college is very humbling. Thank you for sharing your story Gordon.
@@shawnryan2197 As much as he can be, but he’ll have little episodes occasionally. He still gets nauseous at times during hard rolls and gets winded easier than other folks if his nutrition isn’t on point. We’ve found that Gi better suits him so he is focusing on his Gi game now.
I'm a MD, this is not adding up. 1) I never heard of a case of streptococcal pharyngitis that took 1.5 months on antibiotics. 2) given Gordon's stomach issues and sensitivity to antibiotics, why the antibiotics were not administered by IV? That would have reduced the harm to his digestive system significantly. I think Gordon's went back on steroids, and it backfired.
My question would be why wouldn’t he say that that’s what it was then? He’s been open about using steroids and as far “going back on them”, he was probably juiced af at ADCC so seems more like he was using already. If something new triggered it I don’t get why he wouldn’t just say that.
Imagine the King of BJJ, forced to retire because of anxiety, IBS, and fibromyalgia. Nicky is anxious too, so much so that this seems to be the primary reason for competing at a much lower level than his gym performances. But at least Nicky's anxiety is limited to his head and hasn't spread to his enteric nervous system.
Hope you get better man, regardless of all the drama….chronic pain/illness is the worst for any human. Anyone reading this that is in pain, hope you feel better also.
I was in doubt if this was really Gordon’s channel for a min. Then I read the description “watch it, don’t watch it, I’ll be rich and famous anyway” LOL this is deffo Gordon. I’ve been doing boxing/gym on and off for 30 years with Crohn’s disease. Not saying it’s worse or better, but I know what it’s like when you’re suffering for years and no one understands. Only reason I started watching bjj is because of Gordon. Skill on another level. Wish you all the best bro. The Goat.
No need to keep putting yourself down mate, everyone knows what you’re about and the ability. It’s a road back from health problems before you know it you’ll be dominating yet again
Gordon, I wish you a complete recovery. It was obvious you were nowhere near 100% at ADCC 2024. The fact you still won both matches is extremely impressive.
Awesome video man, thanks for letting us in. Been struggling for the past few years with shit docs haven't been able to figure out all while trying to maintain my strength routine and jits. Appreciate getting to see what you're dealing with
I’ve been there with the stomach issues. I had 5 hospitalization of cdiff and now I had a poop transplant to help me develop healthy gut biome. Life changing
Gordon! I'm kind of a new fan but your story has hit me (right in the gut). In my past I've had similar, out-of-control stomach issues and I feel your pain man. I'm about 10 years older and my gut got ripped apart in the 90's as a kid getting fed straight gluten and sugar. Add in a few crazy injuries and I'm in the same boat. Also I got pretty medicated as a teenager with massive amounts of anti-biotics to fix my (honestly, pretty minor) acne. Love you man and keep strong!
Big respect for doing this video Ryan Gordon, it's even more motivating to see the process of the greatness, when a result of the greatness. Praying for your recovery 🙏
Hey bro, I know exactly what you’re going through and have been through. Antibiotics killed me wipe the good and the bacteria out of my system. The bad bacteria grew quick overgrowing everything consequently, when that happened everything whole part basically went through exactly what you’re going through. Continue to go to doctors for what I was going through and they continue to give me antibiotics. Consequently, I developed candida ( yeast ) which burrowed into my esophagus and stomach lining. In order to eliminate the yeast, I was on a strict diet no carbs, sugars, refined anything. I also was taking powdered Diflucan after three months I was feeling a whole lot better and I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. the doctor in for me it’ll never go away. Since then, to keep everything at bay, I have abstain from anything sugar which activates the yeast. If you need more information, DM I hope you get better champ. It’s a long road.
F*ck you Gordon, rocking Uncle Gordon’s stash 😂 It’s your cousin Dan Ryan. I’ve also had stomach issues too, but nothing compared to what you’re dealing with. Prayers & good vibes sent your way, get better 💯
Love that your showing this. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease over 15 years ago. Every doctor had different advice but everyone’s body is different. My biggest lesson has been to understand what triggers my symptoms and listen to my body. Another big tip to avoid emergency rooms is if your symptoms are flared avoids solid foods until the inflammation calms down. this is just general advice for people who suffer with stomach problems.
Thanks for posting this. I got a strain from Renzos and after two bouts of antibiotics I have your same symptoms. I am permanently on prescription meds as a result.
Glad to see you're still joking around despite the circumstances. Excited to see more content for sure and hope you can get back to grappling soon, Gordon. Even your worst enemies (e.g. Craig) admit that you're the best. I hope we get to see more of that on the mats at some point.
Bro take care if your health man!! You are everything we have heard people talk about Rickson! You have revolutionized my jiujitsu to a level where people think I am doing magic....Health first man!! You still are fucking young and have a lot of time...ADCC 2024 Gordon ryan vs stomach issue superfight let's gooo!!
Hey Gordon. I've had stomach issues my entire adult life. I know you've worked your tail off to get to the top and i can only imagine how frustrating this is for you. Everyone wants to blame roids however we know that staff is what caused your issues. Don't listen to rhe haters and focus on getting better. You're a unit bro don't let anyone ever tell you other wise.
This is a good reminder we should be grateful if we’re in good health. It also reminds me that I need to stop being such a pussy and train harder to the best of my ability. Thank you for sharing - I hope you make a full recovery! If not, then so be it…….you’ve left your mark, and have nothing to prove to anyone! Best wishes and good luck in all your future endeavors! 👑
I hope and pray that you get back to a full recovery and take your time with your lifts and life. I broke my neck years ago doing mma and it was a long recovery for me and it sucked but I got through it and you can too brother. Many prayers sending your way brother 🙏
Well tbf him being the best in the world isn’t a function of him doing body building style workouts. There’s probably plenty of worse jiu jitsu athletes that could benefit from other forms of training
I was like that for a year and I can imagine 6 years of it , bless your heart , I started good bacteria and fiber, not sure if that's what helped but I don't seem to be nauseous anymore, not a great appetite but not sick feeling.
need to take care of yourself , sometimes you need to take a step back so that you can take 2 steps forward, we know who is the best in the business, get well, greetings from Russia from Belgorod
Also, I healed my severe gut pain with 1. Saltines and watermelon during my worst death bed flare ups. 2. Ate only hamburger meat with salt on it and rice with avocadoes for a while to strengthen. 3. Added a tin of sardines daily to increase D3. It's key. This has been a huge one for leveling up my constitution. 4. Added b12 B- Complex (B1,2,6, niacin, etc.) drops. Drops are easier on my gut than the yellow pills. 5. Added Celtic sea salt (just a few crystals) to my water for allowing my body to actually absorb the water I was drinking instead of it going right through me and pissing it all out all the time. I found I didn't have to drink as often. 6. Making sure to get my sodium/potassium balance and calcium/magnesium balance better via the above. 7. Go to sleep an hour earlier daily now. 8. Shut off my cell phone 4G as it was making me very tired mentally/physically. 9. Eat only unprocessed. No highly refined flours. They get stuck in the gut. Only take olive oil and coconut oil. 10. Keep out all toxins, (preservatives especially, chemicals, pesticides, all fake sugars like aspartame, etc. from my food and house). It all adds up. Get well. Oh and don't drink too much water during the meal. It dilutes your stomach acid which leads to gut permeability. Only drink a lot 30 minutes before and between meals.
Breaks my heart to see you suffer like this. Your body begged you to rest for six years. Unfortunately it has gotten to the point where "not listening" is not an option. You'll come back better, stroger amd more motivated! Osss
I hope you feel better! 🙏🏻 You are still very young and should be able to recover from anything. Just take a longer break from gear and enjoy some stress free life. Nobody is coming even close to your win record in a long while.
There will always be people richer. Money doesn’t matter. The spirit matters. You’ve proven you have incredible spirit. It’s time to revisit what made you who you are. Don’t want to presume anything about you. High respect.
I was laughing because I've tried to contact Gordon and his Bro Nicky about starting a non-profit and my msg was lost in the tidal wave of fan/hate mail they both likely get. Hats off to you for video blogging your journey back to the mat. I know first hand what it's like to be knocked off your horse by health issues and the silver lining is they can ingratiate you with humbleness. I get it, horsepower and gadgets and 5 cars - but if in the small chance you still feel like you're looking for something to do so you don't lose your mind - a non-profit that has to do with grappling and men's mental health is a project that will be able to grow and give you something for when grappling is behind you. The trick is to have fun every day doing something selfless, so that if even if you feel meager and shitty, you still have the super strong feeling of making a positive impact.
I appreciate you making these videos because now I don’t feel alone like 15 years I had so many stomach problems I lost 40 pounds no one could tell me what was wrong with me then one doctor found that I had h pylori after that I had to take so many cycles of antibiotics and I was still coming out positive for about a year the antibiotics practically almost killed me. After that I’ve never been the same I always get sick very easy I also got my tonsils removed I’m doing much better now but not %100 everyone thought I was crazy so thank you for exposing your problem so you can people like me don’t feel alone on this horrible journey well I hope you get better soon and go back to whooping ass and thanks again
Gordon, if you read this, consider a LONG water fast, like 45+ days. As many days as you can stand before you get into critical fats. It has done wonders to restore to body to health for people struggling from fungal infections and other pathologies. There will be no way for these things to survive. Your body is craving this.
Praying for your wellbeing, don’t be so negative and hard on yourself. Your value as a human being isn’t tied to your physical capabilities or what others think of you, that’s the trap of fame and physical peak. God loves you
I wish the best in your struggles and recovery. You are an inspiration to me even though I am not active in BJJ anymore. I took up guitar and wake up feeling much better as a 50 something. Oss!

I'm about 10 years older and my gut got ripped apart in the 90's as a kid getting fed straight gluten and sugar. Add in a few crazy injuries and I'm in the same boat. Also I got pretty medicated as a teenager with massive amounts of anti-biotics to fix my (honestly, pretty minor) acne. Love you man and keep strong!
Thanks for sharing. Have a feeling this channel will take off hard. Looking forward to more content.
Hope you make a full recovery, Gordon. You're a legend.
You’re tough as fuck man. Very inspirational to see you work through this champ. When you find yourself in hell keep going.
Big respect for doing this video Ryan Gordon, it's even more motivating to see the process of the greatness, when a result of the greatness. Praying for your recovery 🙏
Hey bro, I know exactly what you’re going through and have been through. Antibiotics killed me wipe the good and the bacteria out of my system. The bad bacteria grew quick overgrowing everything consequently, when that happened everything whole part basically went through exactly what you’re going through. Continue to go to doctors for what I was going through and they continue to give me antibiotics. Consequently, I developed candida ( yeast ) which burrowed into my esophagus and stomach lining. In order to eliminate the yeast, I was on a strict diet no carbs, sugars, refined anything. I also was taking powdered Diflucan after three months I was feeling a whole lot better and I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. the doctor in for me it’ll never go away. Since then, to keep everything at bay, I have abstain from anything sugar which activates the yeast. If you need more information, DM I hope you get better champ. It’s a long road.
Same here low carb, no sugar, Paleo diet completely healed me in a year. Don't need doctors, supplements, or pharmaceuticals, just a clean diet
You should make more videos, not just on this but just in general, vlogs, techniques, lifestyle, use the fact that people know you to your advantage.
Submission by tummy ouchie. Pumped for the channel!
As someone who suffers with stomach issues, due to anti-inflammatory overdose. Gordan is a warrior. Stomach issues are brutal!
Great video man & your tenacity is impressive. You the 🐐 for a reason
Having stomach issues myself I appreciate you sharing. Very motivational thank you!
F*ck you Gordon, rocking Uncle Gordon’s stash 😂 It’s your cousin Dan Ryan. I’ve also had stomach issues too, but nothing compared to what you’re dealing with. Prayers & good vibes sent your way, get better 💯
I feel bad for him with those stomach issues.
Love that your showing this. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease over 15 years ago. Every doctor had different advice but everyone’s body is different. My biggest lesson has been to understand what triggers my symptoms and listen to my body. Another big tip to avoid emergency rooms is if your symptoms are flared avoids solid foods until the inflammation calms down. this is just general advice for people who suffer with stomach problems.
Have you tried a strict Paleo diet?
He finally figured out how to upload it from his phone 😂👍
he's whiped out, this been an all day ordeal
Thank you for sharing Gordon and Sonny. You have a lot of people rooting for you!
Love this behind the scenes stuff and seeing what the best of the best go through. Reminds me of Cbums channel
Thanks for posting this. I got a strain from Renzos and after two bouts of antibiotics I have your same symptoms. I am permanently on prescription meds as a result.
Glad to see you're still joking around despite the circumstances. Excited to see more content for sure and hope you can get back to grappling soon, Gordon. Even your worst enemies (e.g. Craig) admit that you're the best. I hope we get to see more of that on the mats at some point.
Hang tough Gordon. It's great to see you returning and wish you nothing but the best moving forward.
Bro take care if your health man!! You are everything we have heard people talk about Rickson! You have revolutionized my jiujitsu to a level where people think I am doing magic....Health first man!! You still are fucking young and have a lot of time...ADCC 2024 Gordon ryan vs stomach issue superfight let's gooo!!
Hey Gordon. I've had stomach issues my entire adult life. I know you've worked your tail off to get to the top and i can only imagine how frustrating this is for you. Everyone wants to blame roids however we know that staff is what caused your issues. Don't listen to rhe haters and focus on getting better. You're a unit bro don't let anyone ever tell you other wise.
This is a good reminder we should be grateful if we’re in good health. It also reminds me that I need to stop being such a pussy and train harder to the best of my ability. Thank you for sharing - I hope you make a full recovery! If not, then so be it…….you’ve left your mark, and have nothing to prove to anyone! Best wishes and good luck in all your future endeavors! 👑
Sucks too see anyone going through this suffering; wouldn't wish stomach issues on my worst enemy, Prayers for a complete and fast recovery.
Wish you the best ! Hope you get 100% soon. 🇧🇷
You are the man Gord. Fuck the haters recover well and can’t wait to see you back on top 🔥
Glad you made a channel love your stuff.
I hope and pray that you get back to a full recovery and take your time with your lifts and life. I broke my neck years ago doing mma and it was a long recovery for me and it sucked but I got through it and you can too brother. Many prayers sending your way brother 🙏
Great video Gordon ! Fast recovery buddy ❤
Man, I didn't realize it was that bad. Hope you get well soon brother. I'm rooting for you...
The IG Post leading to this was hysterical. Hope you get well brother! Long live the 🐐.
I love it. The best grappler of all time trains like a “bodybuilder “. Kinda shoots a hole in all the other gurus out there.
Well tbf him being the best in the world isn’t a function of him doing body building style workouts. There’s probably plenty of worse jiu jitsu athletes that could benefit from other forms of training
Yeah if gordon had a real strength and conditioning coach it would be unfair to us all.@@bmcclelland3
Props to Gordon for resisting sonny’s voice every single day. I have huge respect for the guy for this lol.
She sounds like an old lady lol
She speaks English with an accent because English is the only language you can speak or understand. 🤡
@@wake118 I know how accents work. She just sounds frail
I was like that for a year and I can imagine 6 years of it , bless your heart , I started good bacteria and fiber, not sure if that's what helped but I don't seem to be nauseous anymore, not a great appetite but not sick feeling.
100 % support to world absolute champion 🏆
Bro, you have the coolest girlfriend (wife?). Either way, she's supportive, caring, and a teammate.... Rare.
Hang on to that one brother
need to take care of yourself ,
sometimes you need to take a step back so that you can take 2 steps forward,
we know who is the best in the business, get well,
greetings from Russia from Belgorod
I wanna try those waffers. They’re sweetend with yummy aspertame.
Stoked for this channel!
Gordon Ryan is extremely likable and an amazingly ferocious talent that is why he has so many haters. The King is the fukn man!!
Be strong Ryan,
Try some spiritual healing, a faimos person like you sometimes get a energeticinformational atak and your sideral body get sick.
The John Wick of tummy medication. That was a good one Gordon that made me laugh.😂😂
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy….
Also, I healed my severe gut pain with 1. Saltines and watermelon during my worst death bed flare ups. 2. Ate only hamburger meat with salt on it and rice with avocadoes for a while to strengthen. 3. Added a tin of sardines daily to increase D3. It's key. This has been a huge one for leveling up my constitution. 4. Added b12 B- Complex (B1,2,6, niacin, etc.) drops. Drops are easier on my gut than the yellow pills. 5. Added Celtic sea salt (just a few crystals) to my water for allowing my body to actually absorb the water I was drinking instead of it going right through me and pissing it all out all the time. I found I didn't have to drink as often. 6. Making sure to get my sodium/potassium balance and calcium/magnesium balance better via the above. 7. Go to sleep an hour earlier daily now. 8. Shut off my cell phone 4G as it was making me very tired mentally/physically. 9. Eat only unprocessed. No highly refined flours. They get stuck in the gut. Only take olive oil and coconut oil. 10. Keep out all toxins, (preservatives especially, chemicals, pesticides, all fake sugars like aspartame, etc. from my food and house). It all adds up. Get well. Oh and don't drink too much water during the meal. It dilutes your stomach acid which leads to gut permeability. Only drink a lot 30 minutes before and between meals.
solid advices buddy.
Gordon what happened to you? You look depleted and soft mate
Get well soon champ! Great seeing you power through and really take your time to get back stronger 💪🏼
Yall think he actually made Nicky do his lady? 👀🐂
Breaks my heart to see you suffer like this. Your body begged you to rest for six years. Unfortunately it has gotten to the point where "not listening" is not an option. You'll come back better, stroger amd more motivated! Osss
Looking forward to seeing you back on the mat! Hope recovery continues to go well!
wishing you a speedy recovery, gordon!! thanks so much for the video update.
its nice seeing the "Lighter Side" of Gordon; thank you for sharing this.
We haven’t seen Gordon’s final form yet. Just wait til that horse feed kicks in 🐎
I hope you feel better! 🙏🏻 You are still very young and should be able to recover from anything. Just take a longer break from gear and enjoy some stress free life. Nobody is coming even close to your win record in a long while.
There will always be people richer. Money doesn’t matter. The spirit matters. You’ve proven you have incredible spirit. It’s time to revisit what made you who you are.
Don’t want to presume anything about you. High respect.
Hey Gordon, I'd love to see follow up content regarding your diet. SIBO/SIFO/stomach issues are an absolute nightmare. Good luck!
I was laughing because I've tried to contact Gordon and his Bro Nicky about starting a non-profit and my msg was lost in the tidal wave of fan/hate mail they both likely get.
Hats off to you for video blogging your journey back to the mat. I know first hand what it's like to be knocked off your horse by health issues and the silver lining is they can ingratiate you with humbleness.
I get it, horsepower and gadgets and 5 cars - but if in the small chance you still feel like you're looking for something to do so you don't lose your mind - a non-profit that has to do with grappling and men's mental health is a project that will be able to grow and give you something for when grappling is behind you.
The trick is to have fun every day doing something selfless, so that if even if you feel meager and shitty, you still have the super strong feeling of making a positive impact.
I hope you get better soon. I have a eating disorder and struggle to eat. Wouldnt wish it in on my worst enemy. May god bless you
Sorry your going through this at your prime and at your age . I have faith u will return … always a huge fan. Wishing u the best on the recovery road
what he is going through seems to be really hard. therefore i wish him all the best.
Hope you get better Ryan, 🙏🏽. I am curious though 🤔 how well would you perform without steroids?
Dude! This is amazingly brave to share, a champ can conquer anything. Keep battling.
It’s Really cool That you’re starting your own TH-cam channel.
Gordon, gonna need that TRX recovery video soon
I appreciate you making these videos because now I don’t feel alone like 15 years I had so many stomach problems I lost 40 pounds no one could tell me what was wrong with me then one doctor found that I had h pylori after that I had to take so many cycles of antibiotics and I was still coming out positive for about a year the antibiotics practically almost killed me. After that I’ve never been the same I always get sick very easy I also got my tonsils removed I’m doing much better now but not %100 everyone thought I was crazy so thank you for exposing your problem so you can people like me don’t feel alone on this horrible journey well I hope you get better soon and go back to whooping ass and thanks again
Gordon, if you read this, consider a LONG water fast, like 45+ days. As many days as you can stand before you get into critical fats. It has done wonders to restore to body to health for people struggling from fungal infections and other pathologies. There will be no way for these things to survive. Your body is craving this.
Praying for your wellbeing, don’t be so negative and hard on yourself. Your value as a human being isn’t tied to your physical capabilities or what others think of you, that’s the trap of fame and physical peak. God loves you
I wish the best in your struggles and recovery. You are an inspiration to me even though I am not active in BJJ anymore. I took up guitar and wake up feeling much better as a 50 something. Oss!
It’s hard not to feel sorry for this dude. Lord bless and heal Gordon
