Ret. Green Beret Zach Garner - Part 2 | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 139
Zach Garner's career as a Green Beret was on thin ice. Following his first seizure, he quickly discovered that something deeper was beginning to rise to the surface - a cavalcade of medical maladies that nobody could've predicted. Fortunately, Zach's no quitter, so he shifted gears, transitioning seamlessly into contract work and participating in Iron Man marathons around the country.But sometimes there's more to life than simply being resilient, and some illnesses aren't so easily remedied - especially when it comes to an invisible enemy so horrifying that it eats its victims from the inside. Time for some medical miracles. ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro01:21 - Seizures11:14 - Non-Pharmaceutical Solutions15:51 - Four Deployments in Contract Work20:14 - Don't Trip Over Objects in the Rearview Mirror23:53 - Hit By a Car on a Half Iron Man41:05 - Flesh-Eating Bacteria55:52 - Addicted to Opiods01:08:06 - Bad Decisions01:15:42 - Living with Pain Management01:23:36 - What's Next----------Support Zach Garner: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/zack_next_doorYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@zacharygarnerLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/zachary-garner-253605170----------Sponsors: BUBS Naturals The BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.
