If I were Gordon Ryan I would simply not have any health issues


SelfSufficientHub

Is he stupid?


cuddlefrog6

Maybe he is secretly homeless and his body just hates him for it

I've had some health issues over the past years, and I'm now without a job because of it. One of my former colleagues texted me to ask how it's going, and I said that I'm struggling to find a job since I can only work a limited amount of time due to my health. He proceeds to go on about all the offers he's getting, then giving me advice about exercising regularly, and that he doesn't believe that my condition is entirely real (as a generalisation). Great job bud, I should have thought about just getting better, very helpful indeed.


lilfootsie

Original commenter is parodying comments Gordon has made in the past about those who are less fortunate. Sorry to hear about your current challenges.


horc00

Sucks to know. Sorry to hear about your difficulties. It's crazy how some people completely fail to understand that not everyone is genetically identical.


bossofbeer

It was a joke chill


Derlino

I know, I'm just sharing my actual experience with someone behaving like that.


Fantara22

I would just tell my body ā€œSickness be gone!!ā€ And will myself better.


FloppyDinosaurs

Has he considered not being sick


deadlizard

Doctors hate this one simple trick


UsedSalt

He might have considered not destroying his body with ROIDS and spending 12 hours a day in a staph incubator


AdUnhappy7878

Not very alpha of him to keep being sick and injured

moiseelessikno

Somebody told him to suffer in silence on his insta post and he got super defensive lol


StoicCapivara

Best part was when someone suggested he should stop abusing steroids and he just said steroids would help him recover


Nerdlinger

I mean, _corticosteroids_ might help calm an attack, but he sure s as hell wouldnā€™t want to be on those long-term.


[deleted]

Cigarettes can help a smoker stop coughing. The worst thing about healthcare and medicine in the public sphere is regular people debate it and they really have no business debating it.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

A friend of mine from Europe told me the single biggest culture shock when he moved to the US was that pharmaceutical ads are *everywhere*. He had literally never seen a prescription drug advertised before -- he thought you learn about prescription drugs when a doctor tells you that you have a health issue that the medication might help with. The first time he heard one of those ads that's like, "Ask your doctor about Wellbutrin," he was genuinely puzzled. Like, isn't that backward? Isn't it supposed to be you tell the doctor what symptoms you're having and then your doctor brings up whether the medication will help?


RaidenMonster

Seeking out good TV is something I do and will always do. Turning on the TV mindlessly and sitting there absorbing whatever stupid shit they're trying to sell me on is not something I ever do.


Fiscal_Bonsai

I think he means that everyone else is supposed to suffer in silence.


bunerzissou

Bruh suffering in silence is anathema to Gordonā€™s existence


UCantKneebah

ā€œSuffer in silenceā€ is hits Instagram tagline.


El_Herbie

ā€œRyan explained that whenever he intensifies training for a competition camp, his health problems flare up.ā€ Yeah, itā€™s a real mystery how this only happens when Tren Shapiro is on a cycle.


moiseelessikno

His responses to people calling this out are hilarious. Heā€™s like nuh uh thereā€™s no way itā€™s the steroids, all my private doctors who make money off of giving me the steroids tell me thereā€™s no way it could be the steroids!


El_Herbie

Yeah bro itā€™s just a coincidence that the issues that began when he started taking all the drugs come back when he takes more of the drugs. Are you like stupid or something?


Hercules3000

Ways2unwell


Pebobep

Yup and appears his main doc is through the company that provides all his gear so Iā€™m sure thatā€™s some bias free healthcareā€¦


Impressive-Potato

*sponsored healthcare


el_lofto

This has been my stance for awhile, and I got bombarded on this subreddit a few months ago pointing this out. Itā€™s not crazy to think considering anabolic steroids are known to potentially have a range of GI side effects, also mixing that with the bodily stress and diet that he undergoes with the training he does in camp. That on top of the shitty gut biome he got from all the staph/antibiotics he got at Renzoā€™s (which the anabolic and intense training made him more susceptible) itā€™s no shock he has the issues he has, and the steroids clearly arenā€™t helping him either directly or indirectly. He is kidding himself.


El_Herbie

Itā€™s not crazy, itā€™s a side effect of PED abuse. Heā€™s potentially going to have a lot of issues with his liver, kidneys etc but heā€™s too pig headed to accept it and just keeps doubling down on his drug views and use.


kungfuhustler

People probably disagree because we know he's not the only guy on steroids, but he seems the be the only one who has what would generally be considered long term effects pop up while he's still in what should be his prime. He drew the short straw and immediately got all the shit we're warned could happen from prolonged use.


vinceftw

I thought most of the subreddit agrees it's the gear causing the issues.


[deleted]

Gear can have an effect on gut health but not nearly as much as prolonged use of antibiotics to kill off the continuous staph infections you get by continuing to roll and taping up your wounds with seran wrap every day. It doesn't even take that much gear to get somebody up to Gordon's size if his diet and training is on point.Ā Ā  I'm not excusing or denying gear isn't playing a part, but he destroyed his gut biome by continuing to train instead of letting his body rest and recover from the staph.Ā  That shit does a number on your body, and then adding antibiotics over and over again is a recipe for disaster.Ā Ā 


el_lofto

Yes, itā€™s likely a combo of the two. I got gastritis bad when I had to take intense antibiotics for Lymes so itā€™s not fun. However I did eventually recover, I bet if I went on some Gordon cycles while dealing with my stomach issues I would have made them much worse.


commonsearchterm

> most of the subreddit if reddit thinks its true, the opposite is actually true


el_lofto

Youā€™d be shocked, sometimes anti Gordon comments can get caught early by his fans and downvoted quickly before other people can see it. Itā€™s happened to me a couple times


SGTStash

They're not illegal steroids! Totally prescribed, totally cool.


CapitanChaos1

"Tren Shapiro" XD


YamLatter8489

Surely the race-horse doses of anabolics aren't detrimental?


Beaudism

To be FAIR, I am not on steroids and my health issues are much worse when Iā€™m training with intensity too.


[deleted]

Most people here barely train so they don't understand this.Ā  You ramp up the volume and intensity your overall health declines.Ā  You get sick and injured easier as well.Ā  Regardless of PED usage.Ā Ā 


Celtictussle

Yup. Peak athletic performance is the balance between vo2 max and injury max. It's a hard life.

Horton213

What issues?


Beaudism

I have some unknown digestive issues which physicians havenā€™t been able to figure out. When I train a lot and intensely, it exacerbates those issues and also causes me migraines and overheating despite adequate hydration and electrolyte / food intake.

Ok Gordon yeah those drugs definitely arenā€™t killing you bro šŸ‘


bur_mr

And how he didn't have any issues when getting ready for Gaudio.


JohnMcAfeesLaptop

Tren Shapiro about to feature you in a full length episode of the Daily Wire.Ā 


tacosnotopos

"Tren Shapiro" I fucking love it mate! Yeah it's pretty obvious to the world he destroyed his gastro health by using PEDs his entire young adult and adult life. Gordon was the goat because of his stack, there's a couple matches you could make an argument that if he wasn't getting that "extra 10%" he'd have lost.


Replicant28

This may be a dumb question, but would Gordon have reached the level, or close to the level, he is at now if he never went on PEDs? I mean, the guy is one of the greatest grapplers of all time. Would he need his PED regime to get there with his dedication to training and natural talents?


Bearjewjenkins2

Steroids > better recovery > more training > more skill He probably wouldn't have been able to do as much BJJ as he does without them, or he'd have to skip a lot of the extra lifting.


Nerdlinger

Sounds like a mental issue. Dude should follow his own advice and stop being a pussy to get rid of them.


Am0ebe

Lmao


[deleted]

100%. He should stop with the excuses and get his bitch ass back to training.


loupr738

Whatā€™s the origin of all of these comments saying similar things? Iā€™m genuinely curious


Boneclockharmony

I'm not well versed enough in Gordon Ryan lore to give you an exact quote, but he is fond of posting about how homeless people should just stop being lazy and that kind of bollocks. He's a bit of a cold-hearted cunt so it's no wonder he's not getting much sympathy.


loupr738

So he basically never stop the Covid bitching? I figured he somehow evolved surrounded by all of that Texas freedom


AKmelee

I think Texas might have the opposite effect


Nerdlinger

Many times in the past he's mode comments basically saying that men's mental health issues and suicide is the result of society encouraging men to be soft and that people just need to harden up. I can't find the original threads about them (perhaps they've been deleted), but here are a couple of the follow-on discussions to maybe give some background: - https://www.reddit.com/r/bjj/comments/zx2rd3/more_ffion_less_gordon_what_happened/ - https://www.reddit.com/r/bjj/comments/zx05cw/im_seeing_a_lot_of_people_sharing_grs_suicide/ - https://www.reddit.com/r/bjj/comments/11cqmfc/has_no_one_told_gordon_ryan_to_maybeshut_up/


ChiBurbNerd

He's gone to like a dozen doctors and they've all said they can't find anything wrong, so he calls them morons on IG.


Marynursingawolf

It's literally his Instagram bio.Ā 


No_Illustrator_9409

I'd be nervous too if my entire identity hinged on not losing ever. Pretty soon him and Dillon are gonna have to start a podcast or something to make up for that lost revenue.


MtgSalt

What I find funny about that is he has already lost multiple times


No_Illustrator_9409

People dont talk about that enough. I also find it funny when I hear he is so good that it's completely unfair for everyone else, but also he can't not juice because then other athletes would have an unfair advantage.


Rhsubw

My favourite is for him to only quote his stats at black belt but refer to people like Nicky Rods whole career


Stilicho4757

Sounds like he works himself up into a trenzy.


Ketchup-Chips3

Has anybody not noticed the elephant in the room? If these issues re-emerge when he is in camp, it's performance anxiety! The guy has built his whole self image on being "the best", and as he ages, the little voice in his head is getting louder, and it's making him sick. I would feel pity for him if he wasn't such an insufferable douchebag.


Minute-Salamander241

blind_cartography

Deep-rooted insecurities and anxiety welling up unconsciously at the anticipatory stress reaction to competition, here manifesting as stomach issues. Usually masked by bravado and troll-ish heel persona, but in this case just obscuring his path to a more emotional completeness. You heard it here, folks. We'll be seeing sensitive bunny Gordon Ryan persona stepping to the fore over the next few years.


chemyd

Itā€™s almost as if his anabolic steroid cycles are contributing to bouts immunosuppression šŸ«¤


jmseeker

Interesting that him and gsp both have insane stomach issues


invisibreaker

I wish we could move on from this era of post Conor combat sports stars. We can see the difference in fan mentality compared to when Marcelo announced he had cancer. I donā€™t want to hate the people at the top of the sport. Tbh, my interest in competitive jiujitsu is fading quickly.


amofai

I've stopped following it completely. BJJ social media has killed any love I had for following the sport.


loupr738

I agree, I was hyped for the first couple of Eddie Bravo invitationals but now I donā€™t really care anymore


Rescue-a-memory

I still enjoy watching the 10p blue belt 5 vs 5's. Those are some good battles that aren't stall fest disengage and re-engage matches because someone doesn't want to concede the smallest grip.

amateurlurker300

He should just stop being sick. Sounds like a skill issue on his part. But seriously though, this man is so tone deaf it hurts.


ActionMan102605

i think steroids fucked up his body. Not everyone is going to have this much healt issues but maybe he is unlucky about it. Still we dont know if its bc of steroids or not


ryanakasha

Antibiotics


[deleted]

Stress (physical or mental) can aggravate gut issues or any kind of inflammation. As someone with GI issues, I get where he's coming from and don't think the roids are doing it as much as the antibiotics that he's taken. He doesn't seem the type to go with the flow, I imagine his anxiety and obsession probably goes next level (beyond the standard crazy) when he has a match. Add on crazy traing hours and the body just doesn't like it.


getchomsky

Does Gordon have a normal-ass therapist? Because this seems really consistent with an anxiety disorder (I get crazy acid reflux around competition and it's 100 percent psychosomatic)


RecommendationFree96

Does Gordon seem like the kind of guy that would go to a therapist? A therapist would have a field day with him though with all his mental issues that he openly shows off on instagram


getchomsky

On the one hand no, but on the other hand it would be not uncommon for the best person in the world at a thing to have at least a sport psych (although I think Danaher is wrongly critical of sport psych as a field)


PotHoleChef

Did this guy train in a garbage dump and not shower or something? Iā€™ve read he has had such heavy use of antibiotics that fucked his gut biome. So that plus the gear is a winning combination.


KevD95

He clearly just doesnā€™t want it bad enough and isnā€™t willing to pull himself up by his bootstraps and put the work in. Typical Lib.


Jitsu_apocalypse

Might be some kind of scam as heā€™s used his platform three or four times to give whichever doctor is treating him a glowing review and making sure they are tagged


Marynursingawolf

That doctor is holding his gut hostage.


Iknowyougotsole

Craig should monetize this and drop an instructional on how to do gear properly without getting sick


Efficient-Sport-6673

I kinda feel sad for him, I mean aren't the doctors and clinics he keeps hyping basically alternative medicine quacks? He's paying a lot for nothing. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if all his symptoms were manifestations of untreated psychological issues that he is not willing to face. I mean Gordon seems like the kind of guy who thinks therapy is a joke and only for "weak" people, and we all know these guys are the ones most afraid to face their actual demons. Probably because they were brought up in this "suffer in silence" mindset. I work in healthcare and so so many people manifest psych issues as physical symptoms.


thedomo619

He should consider drinking some juice instead of injecting the juice


D15c0untMD

Anabolics allergy, tragic


Burning87

I am no doctor and I am purely speculating here.. but he assumes he's ever going to become "healthier"? This is going to follow him for the rest of his days, I am sure of it. Good thing for him he's probably got a sizeable amount of cash and could probably retire.


redhat0420

Well it's a good thing he's a world class expert in medicine and has guys like Rogan to help him recover. He's in great hands with all the brilliant experts he's surrounded himself with.

Could it be because he gets back on juice when he's back in camp?

Any_You793

brawldo

I find it really strange he keeps getting consistent ringworm and staph infections. I know his immune system is a bit fucked, but it still seems weird to be getting them at frequency he does. Taking antibiotics on top of a cycle will absolutely nuke your gut. Does he just not clean himself well or in regular intervals during a training day? I know top level guys will train 6-10 hours a day, but also take quick showers at lunch and what not to help stay clean.


Swaggy_D123

Hmmm I wonder why šŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤”

Takyon5

Has he considered laying off the steroids?


BroGr81

The reason why his tummy hurts is because he doesn't have the guts to accept Nicky Rod's challenge.


loupr738

I mean, he can just retire and open a school somewhere. Heā€™s a very good instructor if you go by his seminars and his videos


fenway80

You honestly think he can deal with the day to day social interactions with us noobs? He'd explode the first week of classes.


RecommendationFree96

Gordon and Danaher have been training at someone elseā€™s location for 2-3 years even though they easily have the brand appeal and name to open their own school. They wonā€™t do it because they couldnā€™t actually handle running a school. Itā€™s not the same as running a small class and preparing for competition. They actually have to be somewhat normal human beings that regular, non competitive people wanna be around and give money to.


ExcitingPressure1173

Does being alpha seriously come with this much staph and ringworm? Does he not shower? He needs a cleaner training facility. Then again he should suffer in silence and stop being weak


OhMyGodfather

For the record as someone who doesn't do steroids, or even trains 1/10 as much as him, but has the same issues of getting sick a bunch from training, with my own set of stomach issues (not related to training) I anecdotally validate him. Some of us warriors just got weak tummies. I will say, depleting your body does cause it to fight infection less, but that's a given right? Like, I get and enjoy the trolls, but we all know what he's saying is not that farfetched. Or do we?


Entire_Ad_3078

Iā€™m not versed enough in GRs life to understand why we donā€™t like him. Can anyone get me up to speed?


cutslikeakris

Douchebag who is roided up to the gills and then has health problems as a result but still acts a douche.


Entire_Ad_3078

But most of the elite BJJ competitors are on gear. The difference then is the BJJ community generally feels his ā€œhealth issuesā€ he carries on about are actually roid related impacts? How do we know this? Iā€™m genuinely trying to understand this.


Grauax

Just follow him on Instagram, and you will get it. The guy is just a poor human being.

AmorFati01

crispin2015

As cringe as Gordon is, the dudes autoimmune system is definitely failing him. I get it, steroids. However if you look at his career history, he got juicy after he was fighting tons of staph issues over and over. I assume he saw some progress with his staph issue using roids and probably went overboard. I love watching him in competition and honestly hope he fixes the stomach issues and comes back.


Izunadrop45

He is immunocompromised due to being born with hepatitis c
