Were nicotine pouches wrecking my health?
So sorry about your squirrel. You did right by seeking a vet so don't beat yourself up.
why not just check out buddhism
Hello, my name is Angela. I live in Kansas. I will start praying for you to be healed. ❤
Hi. I am recovering from a horrible surgery and am on my ass for at least a couple months. I find your channel inspiring.
Hey Bridger, your thoughts on dopamine and smartphone addiction really hit home. I’ve been working on breaking free from the endless scroll too. Loved your take on breathwork and the idea of downgrading to a flip phone-so relatable! Keep pushing through the challenge, your journey is inspiring.
Would u use bpc157 or stem cells ?
The stuff behind you kind of detracts from your msg
What you experienced was God inn that hotel room, telling you the plan for your life. Then when you turned you back on it and tried to do it in thr wrong way he intervened again, by allowing something more drastic to happen. God does not punish us , he loves us we are his creation, but he does allow things to happen to us to bring us back on the right path for your life. Dont dissmiss tha you are hearing from God ,there is no other God but him and nothing compared to the love his has for you, and he allows things to happen that at times we think why did this happen to me, and then he turns it all around for the good of us. Read your bible and prsy to him just talk to him and ask him to reveal hisself to you through jesus as with him in your life all things to together for the good through christ our lord and saviour. I pray read this and take it as truth and a promise that if you believe in the father that he will turn your life around for the better. Amen. God bless you. Xyou had your
I’m sorry that insurance is depressing you. You’re too creative and smart to have that be your long term career. By looking at your birth chart it makes me think that professionally you should be working with your friends. It doesn’t really look like a lone wolf career path. I think you would be much happier and more successful if you started something with your loved ones. That pain sounds awful. I’m glad that you eat healthy because damn if you ate like shit, you’re life would be hell lmao. Love you guys!❤

Please don t be so hard on Yourself. Life is hard enough like that, lots of pressure on your shoulders..listen to your body and mind. Pain sucks, so do what you can buddy. We are so proud of you ❤ so you should be too!
Totally agree 👍
I knew I was going to have a stroke months before it happened. I can say I understand!
Help me please, I have children and I want to immigrate from my country to any place I want to work. My husband was in an accident and became paralyzed from the waist down. He has not been able to walk for a year and a month, and I am helping him. I want to travel. My dream is to travel abroad, and I want your help. I hope to God that He returns you to walking on your feet, God willing, and that you return to the way you are and better. Help me come to your country and work on my children and help my husband with physical therapy. I and my children will serve you, and God willing, you will do charity with us, God willing.
Hello brother, where are you from? Please answer me. I have the same problem as you in my spinal cord. How long did the accident last? Please answer me.

Some how I unintentionally found your podcast; really I don't know how but going along with the theme of your talk it was meant to be! This past year has been bad I'm in a deep depression. But when I pull myself out of this hole, I've got some miracles to share with you. I believe everything you said and am blown away by your brilliant insights and the happiness you describe after all you've been through. Makes me ashamed to be depressed. There worthwhile reading in the new testament about when Christ passed into heaven he left each of us with the holy spirit. Sorry to say I'm not a scholar of the Bible but I believe its in book of Matthew.
Im glad you got some much needed time off. Your mindset on missing days 71-73 is fantastic! #thanks4sharing #carnivorewisdom
...with so much soul surely anything is possible ❤🎉❤🎉❤
Brave clever man, wishing you well ❤❤❤ sure my minor gut issues went away on carnivore 🪂🌈😍

Hello brother, I have an insight regarding your back pain and "Feeling good". One of the phenomena that runners experience is runners high. This is due to endocanniboids (read "The Endocannabinoid System and Physical Exercise" for more academic information). Exercise reduces anxiety and alleviates pain. Getting the blood pumping is great for physical fitness, as well as mental health. Your back pain relief could very well be linked to the increases in exercise and overall active lifestyle. I find myself feeling better all day due to a run. But, peak happy for the hour following it.
I'm a T4 paraplegic, contemplating this. Did you ever use laxatives in any form? Oral fruit based ones? Enemas of the morning? Do you do daily or every second day bowel routine?
I’m sorry you’re going through this..sounds so rough. Have you considered if it might be a bladder infection? Feeling cold and shivering like that is the worst. I totally get it. But that sunshine hitting your body must feel amazing..there’s nothing like it to warm you up. I know it always helps me when I’m feeling off. Take care and hope you feel better soon!
ah that sucks😪i hope you find answers soon and feel better. yes process of healthcare and insurances, no joy after all frustration, time and spending money and all.. but i think it s important for you to see a doctor soon anyhow (and see a physio eventually to help you give specific exercices for your hernia. maybe verify for decompression stretches?) hopefully no indgested bugg or infection. your body is clearly telling you something isn t right. please take care🤍sending you light and courage 💌 from montreal, canada. stay strong!

I had same thing with a crow at work . .he let me catch him & I put him in a large box, covered him so he wasn't stressed. He wasn't right but I thght we cld help him - I've volunteered for yrs with animals & like u knew there was a issue but cld sort. I called our RSPCA just to b sure they made us wait for ages ..when they finally arrived they immediately killed it in front of me with little conscience. As I said I volunteered in vaccinations & emergencies so saw life & death constantly. I also watch someone in that industry in us (I'm in UK 🇬🇧) he said he's come across some awful ppl who do a lot of it for the wrong reasons (obv also lots of amazing ppl too). I was so 😡 mad as I'd also had a bird & lots of medical exp....but u tried it's all u can do the rest is on them.def not u. He'll visit & send u his 🩷🩵🩶🐿️🐿️🐿️🩶🩵🩷🤗
Yeah, I completely understand from there perspective. It just sucks that people have to be so robotic and rule following even when no one is there to enforce the rules.
@@bridgerfrederick exactly I worked with some of the most amazing ppl I've ever met but also some of the worst & I've worked in most industries 😞
So plsd consultant is great 1 x great consultant can be all the difference 👍🤞
Mad having rough day & just thght cld just hear something positive from Bridger..then notification came up. Hope u & yr gorgeous partner r ok 🩶🩵🩷Death is so diff to explain only 1 x positive is it makes u love harder 🤗
Wow, man, what an intense story! The details of your car accident and how you and your girlfriend almost didn't make it are just mind-blowing. You’re truly lucky to be alive. Hearing about your psychedelic experience with that much in your bladder-I can’t even imagine how terrifying that must have been. That’s like staring death in the face. I was considering trying mushrooms myself, but after watching this, I’m definitely rethinking it. Your message really hits home, and it’s clear you’re putting in serious dedication and hard work into your channel. With content like this, it won’t be long before your channel takes off. Keep up the great work!
Definitely lucky to be alive! The only reason it was so intense and overwhelming was improper preparation, knowledge and dosing. To get the full benefits it really should be treated ceremoniously, with planning and intention. If you want to learn more about responsible use that book I mention in the video, "How to Change Your Mind" by Michael Pollan is a great start. But thank you for the kind words, it keeps me going!
If there were ever a person who deserves the mushroom medicine, it’s YOU. Thank you for sharing your story
Thank you! Every time I do it I feel so sad for everyone who never has haha
God connection is the Greatest- Ultimate Drug-Daily 🕊🕊🕊

Thank you and god bless you as well! Comments like these make my day!
👏🏼Very happy for your discovery. Dr Zwig,IG Jungian enthusiast , teaches there is no emotional illness like a disease that needs to be obliterated. The terrible feelings are very real, painful, and that’s a person’s inner self getting ones attention so growth can thrive. Changed my life. Understanding projection is scary and threatening and the most powerful notion I’ve ever come across. Never be bored again Please share more as it comes
You and me both! I can't believe I've never delved into Jungian psychology before, but it came to me at the perfect time. It filled in the blanks on so many aspects of what I've been thinking about lately.
@@bridgerfrederick We never delved into it because we had to stumble upon it like carnivore. In the 80s I was in a counseling group and was sharing about this psychologist named Jung who taught something called projection and how it had changed my whole outlook on life. At that time there was no internet, just card catalogs at the library and it was pure luck I read a book that mentioned some things about him. The PhD therapist leading the group silently stared at me and didn’t respond; just continued on with having each person bring up painful emotions and talk about who caused them (always somebody else). I don’t think it was taught at the college level and clients might actually have healed which would have stifled the longevity of steady income (my cynical interpretation.)The 80s on up til today are all about “confronting” people who have done you wrong and endless compilations on how it has damaged every aspect of the victim’s life. In the 70s BF Skinner’s behavioral modification techniques monopolized the university I attended. Jung’s teaching touched too many nerves, me thinks. Jung was just the fill-in-the-blank answer on a Psych 101 multiple guess quiz pertaining to Freud’s protege
hey man , these visions and intuitions you randomly have might be higher power connecting to you. all of this happening to you and pain you are going through pushes you for sure to one question why is this happening to me ? and simply think about it if you didn't have all of this pain and accident you wouldn't probably be as spiritual as you are now so do you want a way out ? i tell you man make a promise to god "higher power" whatever you want to call it make a promise that if all goes well , if your spine heals and the pain goes away that you will do your best and spend the rest of your life to find GOD and get closer to him and make it a real promise with true intention that you will search every religion every book to find the truth about god make that promise man and track how your life changes after you truly make that promise to god
🎯
I attribute all the most meaningful realizations to have to some connection with something. I make a promise everyday and feel very listened too.
keep on going, one thing at a time! so proud of you, keep hope🤍 from montreal, canda 💌
Thank you and love right back at you! How do you make emojis on here lol
thank you! underneath comment section there is a smiley face. click on it, and you see all the emojis, click on the one wanted and click on send-respond-comment (whatever your language is, the term in english) lol
@@bridgerfrederick
also the idea of accidents pushing you better to your goals an even better idea , is sometimes we might have goals that are not good for us and accidents change the course of our life and allows us to have better goals for ourselves in the bigger picutre
That is EXACTLY what I've been thinking about everyday lately. Life is constantly trying to push us onto our one true path, and if you stray really far sometimes that push has to be really harsh.
you know just for refrence sake , the thing that you say that there is happiness after pain and that pain pushes us down the trampoline and allows us to experience more happinnes , in quran we have a verse that says For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease [i.e., relief]. Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease
The quran nailed it with that one. All the knowledge is out there, it's just so hard to really understand it without learning the hard way.
lovely video man , love to hear you speak psycoligically please do more of those
Thank you! I definitely will take your advice and do some more
Hey bro I have spinal cord injury I can walk but still got heaps of issues I’m 22 apart from physio and exercise what has helped u the most to try and heal
I know it sounds cliche but mindset is absolutely number 1. Surround yourself with amazing people, cut out toxic people, and consume nothing but positive content. But as far as lifestyle or tactics, a whole food diet is essential. Avoid wheat, soy, any seed oils, processed sugar, corn, dairy (except organic, grass-fed raw dairy). Removing processed foods completely will really move the needle. Then something else that has been huge for me is breath work and meditation in the sauna or in an ice bath. I wouldn't be 1/4 of the person I am today without breath work and meditation. I find it much easier to get into a deep state of meditation in extreme heat or cold. It really forces you to meditate. I highly recommend the book "Becoming Supernatural" by Joe Dispenza. I was highly skeptical when I first read it, but after two years of just semi-regularly practicing some of the meditations and techniques in it. I'm 100% convinced that pretty much everything in that book is true. And he makes some very wild claims. But just give it a read or check him out on podcasts and RUclips. His meditation techniques really allow you to tap into a deep healing force, it's pretty remarkable.
@@bridgerfrederick appreciate it brother I will try these things thanks for the advice man I’ll give the book a read aswell keep making videos bro u got a great mindset bro
I really like your videos and the messages you're sending out. I see that you posted this RUclips video yesterday and hope you remembered this morning that your gas tank was empty. I can imagine being stuck on the freeway with no gas and in a wheelchair-definitely gives me anxiety!
I actually was having a really great conversation with an old friend on the phone and drove about 30% of the way to work before remembering I needed gas lol. But thank you for the kind words it definitely mean alot!
P.S. enjoyed the diff video & engagement..worked well! 👍 If u want something for burn after the poltice u made zinc & castor oil cream (ideally original version not new one eg Bells works on 100s of skin issues & wounds, most nurses used to use nothing else but at home, though often wont admit it...works well after poltice as zinc obv for skin, but also conts to clean & allows skin to repair in-between drying). I hope getting off Zyn & yr 180 days in general sees yr pain finally leave yr body 🤗
I love to write (u prob know from long comments 😂... actually apologies my notiydont seem to show ehen u respond it's v odd 🤷♀️)....anyway...so amazing u write....knew u had that side. Also 🩶 yr honesty about yr past..... .... I'm at the stage i recognise my issues, & how I'm also hard on myself....bit I'm stuck on though is the feeling the emotions (outside or anger thats always easy... although ppl wodnt guess as i come off chill). Well done on quitting Zyn!!!!!!👍👍👍😁
Thank you and I appreciate the long comments. When I text or email I probably drive people crazy because I write so much. Yeah, its a long process. Took me forever to realize that any negative emotion I was feeling towards another person was just a reflection of something I disliked in myself if I followed the emotion back far enough.
Soft tissue pain never left me with PT exercising or stretching alone-adding trigger point therapy was the only thing that brought relief. I haven’t followed you long enough to know if you have thorough experience with that modality. Ignore this if you have
I haven't had much experience with it. I'm seeing a new chiropractic doctor that is really open all manual therapies. I'll talk to her about definitely incorporating some trigger point therapy in our next few sessions. Thank you! I've only seen her once so far and she did graston the whole time and it was pretty remarkable how much it helped.
@@bridgerfrederick I’ll look up graston to learn more, thank you. I’m a retired massage therapist and used it often, telling my clients 25 % of their relief would be from what happened in our session and 75% from what they did for themselves in between visits. It’s a maintenance thing as you do very well know. I asked each one to get a copy of this book: The Trigger Point Therapy Book, Your Self-Treatment Guide For Pain Relief by Clair and Amber Davies. Old adage in the massage world: (Many times) Where the pain is, the problem ain’t but you are a unicorn with all your rearranged muscles, so you are the expert.
It's the one true God and He sent His son Jesus please know
Hey B. just found ur channel and apparently I'm ur 200th sub.. So what's the prize did i win 🏆 🤔 😹😂😹 I'm kidding ofcourse... Well i hope you can get to walk run hunt etc.etc. someday.. I believe in miracles ✨️ 🙏 Btw ur story was mad exorbitant and pretty wild but sad too.. I had an experience when i was 15 I was with a friend of a friend and he's like u wanna smoke a doobie? I said what is that he's like some weed aka reefer aka pot aka maryjane aka marijuana i think you get the joint oops i mean point 👉 👈 👇👍 😅 I said ok i guess it will be my first time ⏲️ ⏳️ 🕐 🕙 So we did and I didn't feel anything..i said i thought you get high from smoking this..he's like you usually don't ur first time 🤔 So we smoked a little more and idk a couple minutes later i start to feel anxious and i feel my heart racing like I'm running 🏃♀️ from a ax murderer or something... I then start to panick like I'm going to have a heart attack and I'm going to die..it was mad scarey The kid is just laughing at me and such..he's like relax just go with it or something... I'm thinking what's this laced with acid or something 🤔.. Well eventually my heart got back to normal and all was good...i thought.... I then started to get panic attacks like all of a sudden I'd get mad anxious again the following weeks.. So one night my *f. Mother called the 🚑 after i got another panic attack and she didnt know what was going on with me... So i eventually got stuck in a hospital 🏥 for like 2 months because my F. Mother didn't want me back .....yeah i know tmi... So idk if you had a panick attack in ur video or it was something else 🤔 I eventually stopped having so-called panic attacks 🙃. *Foster mother
That is a wild story and I'm super happy you shared it. Gave some extra significance to hitting 200 subscribers! But yeah, I have had some really intense panic attacks from marijuana and also just entirely sober. I find that if rather than trying to escape the feeling, I sit with it and kind of reverse engineer the flooding thoughts, then I can usually unwind the flurry of emotions back to a single source or belief. It's much easier said than done and took me many years of practice. But for me at least, there was always a hidden fear deep down at the source of those overwhelming panic attacks.
@bridgerfrederick hey B. Thanks for ur acknowledgement and yeah I understand you about the panic attacks and trying to just go with it...it's definitely not easy..just glad I don't get them anymore..now watch me get 1 tonight or something 🤞🏼😬😏
Im curious about breakthrough vaporized dmt doses and if it causes spasticity since it feels like you leave your body and this dimension. Alao its short lasting so wpuld imagine its not as hard on the body
It definitely causes a lot of spasticity but you are correct in it is much less stressful than longer lasting substances. The spasticity wore off more me about 10 minutes or so after fully coming back to reality.
You are INCREDIBLE fighting through all that pain and able to work so many hours with 2 sleepy legs. Fighting so hard every day to walk again. Truly inspiring watching you kayak, camp for a week and talk us through it with a smile. I hope you find some relief fast.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It's a lot of work and feels good when it's recognized like that. I just starting seeing a new doc and she's just like bursting with positivity and personality so I'm feeling very optimistic about the pain
R u able to use yr stand support for work to alternate sitting & standing or is that an absolute no? Assuming it wld only b at home anyway.
No not while I'm actually at work, just because I work in like a cubicle setting and it's on the fifth floor. It's not practical. But I've got the gym at work and work from home in the morning's so it's fine.
🐶🐶 getting their saunas in 😂
Yep! They only like about five minutes of it but I figure the infrared is good for them.
