[@JessicaMillerNashville]

This is absolutely life changing!!! Praise the Lord that you are doing better. I’m sorry you and your sweet family had to go through that but wow, this is life changing and so so true! You are helping so many people with this video and you better believe we’ll all have to have the book 📕

[@nicolemittelstaedt3191]

Dr Axe This state of hopelessness, despair and depression you are speaking of happened to me 2.5 years ago (3 years on sept 11). When I was at CrossFit and my artery exploded and my heart had a SCAD (spontaneous coronary artery disssection). It rocked me. Ruined me for a year. I had to come to the same decision. This fear isn’t serving me. Healing is my goal now, even though little guidance. Praying your feeling 100% again and your life has a new purpose.

[@stacyB783]

I believe we have to go through trials to become better people! You were already a wonderful person but this took you to a higher level! Thank you so much for sharing this. I have struggled with what is my purpose and this truly helped! I look forward to when your book comes out. Many blessings to you and your family and thank you for being such a blessing to others!!

[@kathleen9456]

Everything happens for a reason. You went through this so you could help others. Thank you!

[@seekeroftruths3911]

Mindset is great and I do believe that helped you, but another lesson to learn from this is not to ignore those early signs and also being aware that infections are always possible after injections.

[@drjoshaxe]

Agreed. We should all listen attentively to our bodies.

[@jacquidan01]

Let's not forget to keep our eyes on Jesus! The Author and Perfector of our faith!🙏🏻🛡🗡❤

[@lizjack1309]

Dr. Axe, this is the first time I have heard you speak. I AGREE 100% with what you are saying. I found your talk while I was looking for something to encourage my husband after a week in bed after back surgery. Your teaching applies to so many things in life and the mindset we develop. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m sharing this with all my family and friends.

[@MsSams-nc9dp]

WOW DR AXE!!! You are such a blessing!! THANK YOU FOR BEING STRONG AND HELPING US… THANK YOU DEAR SIR… JESUS CONTINUE TO WALK BY YOUR SIDE…🙏🔥🕊️🙏🔥🕊️

[@Ali-gz4hz]

It’s been long time dr Axe, I am one of your followers from Saudi Arabia and I was concerned about you. Glad to see you again

[@staceybainey846]

I was in shock to hear your story. I believe that your purpose during this trial was to write that book. I thank you for sharing your journey and may you and your family continue to be blessed and be stronger in all of this. I leave this scripture with you Deuteronomy 31:8 vs 8- The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. I held onto this scripture when I had cancer in 2016.

Amen!!!! I so needed this verse!! Thank you!!! 🩵🩵🩵

[@juliadavid3637]

I've been watching you for a long time on KZbin and TBN, along with Jordan. You both inspire me. I'm so glad and grateful 🙏 you are better. My joys and passions are my fur babies, animal rescue, cooking and now baking. I spent 30 years as a cake decorator in a very well known grocery chain in Florida and people would always say I bet you love to go home and bake lol I said no, I don't bake anything. Well, since I retired 2 years ago I've been baking all kinds of breads and rolls and pita bread. My newest bake is sourdough bread with my own starter I made. And, while sourdough is the most challenging it is my absolute 💯 favorite! As a decorator my favorite was wedding cakes 🎂 seems I like to be challenged. Great podcast Josh and I will be watching for more. God's Blessings to you 🙏

[@rokeyone1168]

Thrilled you're okay and Welcome back, Dr. Axe! Thoroughly Inspiring!

[@PerlaOC]

First 5 minutes in, and Im completely shocked by your ordeal, because I had never experienced hopelessness, despair, and yes, depression like this before, and this caused by a major health setback in the past few years too, and even, despite me doing many of the things you mentioned. I’m very wellness oriented. I cannot believe my ears, I’m Still in shock of how similar your story is, to my past health ordeal. Glad to see you back Dr Axe, I never stopped looking for your advice and information online, and sharing it with loved ones too. Thank you for sharing your story, you are going to be a blessing in my journey back to health and society.

Really missed you Josh 😭 happy to see u again ..

[@rebekahdemary7638]

I suffered with pain for two years and could hardly walk. I had been told by my back doctor that my hips had no cartilage. Went to a neurologist who told me I would have to live with the pain. She only asked me questions and did not take any x rays. After we left her office, I told my husband I do not have to live with this pain and he agreed. One of my friends suggested I see a back doctor her sister had used. I made the appointment and he took x rays and the first thing out of his mouth was, "You need to have your hips replaced and 65% of your pain will be gone. So I had one hip replaced in May of 2020 and the other hip in August of 2020. After my operations, I wanted to run but was told that was a no no. I am doing great so Dr. Axe is totally right.

[@Brian-rs4ug]

Life is 10 percent of what happens to me and 90 percent of the way I RESPOND to it. And so it is with you, we are in charge of our attitudes.

[@overcomer5574]

Thank you so much for sharing this Dr. Axe. I have been dealing with health issues for 10 yrs and have tried everything as well. and It's so encouraging to hear your story!

[@apricotreewellness]

We DEFINITELY missed you! So glad to hear your voice again! I've been praying for you, I realized something happened to you, as others have taken over your social connections. I'm blessed you have come through what many of us are facing. We appreciate all you do. YOU are my hero. I hope one day we can connect and talk over tea. Shalom, Shalom

There aren't enough words or time in this world & in this lifetime to express just how important & how crucial this amazingly wonderful video of your is. Thank you . Thank you. Thank you.❤

[@drjoshaxe]

🙏🏼

[@kl405019]

I’m so glad your back and getting better. Those doctors that told you that you wouldn’t walk again planted a nocebo effect on you, which is just as powerful as the placebo effect.

[@lidiyat4341]

Have listened to this twice today. Really valuable.

[@DarleneDeSilva]

Thank you for sharing, I needed to hear this at this very moment. I had covid in November and somehow now in August fighting the effects of high bp because of covid. There is no medical explanation for the high bp. Fear has entered my life. I never understood what people with anxiety went through, I now know. Trying to fix my microbiome to heal my emotions….getting there. Fear can freeze you in time. Hope and belief in a creator who cares for us and takes the bad things that happen in life to better us as humans. So glad you are back….a little pun there.

[@atinukealder7273]

Wow Josh!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this most wonderful podcast ❤ you’ve literally blown me away with everything that you’ve shared from your personal story right up to mindset strategies. You are AMAZING and a total legend. This video is one of the most moving that I’ve ever seen/heard. I praise Jesus for your beautiful life. Keep shining 😊

[@janicemmckaig9135]

Thank you for sharing those moments. I have learned from you for at least 17 years and still use your website for a lot of information and because your website is so informative and easy to use I am always sending people to it. Your pictures remind me of Jordan Rubin who as your friend was also one of my 1st reads many more years ago who healed himself of Crohns disease. So thankful you are doing well now!! Thank you Dr. Axe for what you do!!

[@patriciaboakye1918]

Welcome back! May God continue to heal and restore you🙏🏾

I know exactly what you went through. I actually had a vertebra osteomyelitis. 6 months non-mobile, 2 surgeries, and alot of metal im active. I completely agree with what you say. I had to tell myself I was going to workout again and walk. Congrats on your recovery. You have helped me with your videos and passion.

[@reconcilepheladi5665]

I appreciate you Dr Axe. Still in awe of how I naturally healed stomach ulcers by watching one of your videos and following the instructions. Healing happened in just a month I’ve been free since. It was just a miracle. Love from South Africa

[@englishwithreenamultimedia9103]

Hey dear plzz help me how can I heal I am also suffering from stomach ulcer I'm pregnant as well what diet to follow plzz help

[@reconcilepheladi5665]

Hey Please check Dr Axe’s video on what to take to heal stomach ulcers. It’s short and straight forward. Otherwise, eat boiled vegetables, boiled meat, bread with baking powder not yeast, avoid all fruits except berries, no spices, no sugar , no milk for about 20 - 30 days and you will be fine. Drink cabbage juice daily Aloe Vera juice ( unflavoured with no preservatives) Camomile tea daily

Hi Dr Axe, I’m sorry to hear about what you have gone through recently. I’m a long time subscriber & I’ve always valued your advice & your opinion. I had not been receiving your videos regularly for some reason … I have been suffering with some major health issues and I have been interested in learning more about using your mind to heal the body which is what I usually focus on these days. Perhaps that is why your video showed up in my feed once again! ~ I have such new found respect & admiration for you! I’m looking forward to reading your book when it comes out in April! :) I’m glad to hear you’re doing well and you’re able to enjoy your family once again.
