Life Update: 1st Kidney Stone | Battling Vertigo With PEMF & AIP Diet

[@TealOxAdv]

So sorry you two are dealing with these challenges. Prayers for a full recovery and no additional kidney stones.

[@RedVavel]

Glad you both are doing well and appreciate you sharing something so personal from both of you

[@shareenj.2602]

I just discovered your channel. What a wonderful couple you are. Its terrible the two of you are going through these issues. Praying for answers for your issue. Thanks for sharing. God bless you both.

[@mrsbintennessee1159]

Glad you're feeling better. I got vertigo from riding the Eagle coaster at Dollywood. My husband is afraid of coasters so he closes his eyes. I looked sideways towards him the whole ride, saying, Open your eyes! Enjoy this view! Etc. Looking sideways gave me bad vertigo for 3 weeks! Finally it went away. My mom's had it, Dr said to put a post-it note on the wall with a 1" dot on it. Stare at it as u slowly turn ur head left to right without taking ur eyes off it

[@LolaB625]

God bless you both! Definitely sending up prayers for you. I couldn't live without coffee. 😢

[@LolaB625]

It is difficult to find a doctor that thinks outside the box.

[@teresacantrell2024]

Glad your feeling better, praying for you both 🙏

[@LaurenWayson]

My husband also gets vertigo. This latest time, it went on for at least a month. We learned about an Epley maneuver from our local news station. We happened to see a physical therapist to have it done and it was life-changing. Having the Epley done was not pleasant--the therapist likened it to riding a rollercoaster over and over. However, the next day, my husband was totally over the vertigo. We would encourage you to look into the Epley maneuver and try it. We also were told that ENT doctors can perform this as well. We know how terrible vertigo is and wish you all the best!

[@acerone10]

I have vertigo also. One trip to a rehab and I'm almost cured. Mine was loose crystals in the ear canal. She put them back in place and I only get slightly dizzy getting in and out of bed. I also take Turmeric and Fish oil for inflammation. So sorry about your kidney stone. Ouch.

[@AgendaInMind]

Yeah, you just do that summersault move on the floor. It’s on KZbin. Easy to fix. No need for an “educated” doctor.

[@2012hdavis]

This is The Epley Maneuver - life changing!

[@olafpamela]

Prayers for you both in your health journey 🙏🏻🥰 Thanks for sharing 👋🏽👋🏽😃 God bless

[@thecurtisfamily3810]

Prayers for you as you always pray for us. My sister got stones in her gallbladder, and it will be getting removed tomorrow as she has surgery. ❤

[@Rose-op3oq]

Prayers for both of you. I’m 48 year old female and had severe Vertigo, Insomnia and brain fog for 10 years. I was on the highest dose of sleeping medication and have 4 kids. Over the last two years I came across the Carnivore Diet and within 3 months of eating only animal based diet I came off all my medication and can finally fall asleep. I started following Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Ken Berry, homesteadhow and many others in the carnivore community. I basically had to go down to zero carbs to function properly. I still have carbs here and there but as soon as I start having problems I have to get back on the carnivore wagon. They say to try it for 90 days and for me it drastically improved my health.

[@MichaelRei99]

Most people don’t understand that humans can’t digest vegetables and fruit properly. A proper human diet consists of animal protein and fat.

[@garysmith5434]

thank you to share this and God Bless you both

[@taz3751todd]

Firefighter Todd from Indiana here. Had my first kidney stone last year. Right there with ya on the pain level, Ryan! I love the holistic first method. Inflammatory foods are everywhere. Big fans of your page and family. Stick together and hold each other accountable. Right there with you. Glad you were able to pass the stone. I wasn't that lucky. 😮

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Thanks Todd...Sola Deo Gloria!

[@yvonnemasters5078]

Prayers for better health and healing, totally get it, gall bladder bummed out, it's gone now. Leaning on God to show a better understanding of how to take care of the temple. 🙏😘✝️🤲

[@vickismith9142]

Praying for you both glad your better!

[@diamondpaintingwithsweett]

I'm so glad you both are feeling better! I've been concerned about you. God bless you! Keep on keeping on! Stay strong. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Thanks DPWST!

[@rethacharette7830]

So sorry that you had a kidney stone. I have had a kidney stone many years ago and I totally agree it is so painful. I hope you don't get another one. I hope your vertigo goes away. I totally agree with you sometimes holistic medicine is better than a regular doctor. Have a wonderful day. God Bless.

[@eloisehuckstep1057]

Prayers for both of you

[@7442Ruth]

I've had vertigo for quite some time. I'm praying we finally found the cure as it was high blood pressure. Prayers for both of you 🙏🙏

[@HealaniDurr]

Praying for the both of you. I get vertigo every so often as well. Not a good feeling, everything is spinning, gets nauseous and just want to lay down in my blackout room.

[@mullins809]

I have vertigo and my doctor sent me to physical therapy and it helped quite a bit- also I went to an ent and was diagnosed with Meneires disease it’s an inner ear disease which causes vertigo- also a low sodium diet helped me as well - Good luck on your health journey!

[@teressajones1380]

Hope you both get better soon Prayers.

[@depperdaddy]

Praying for a quick recovery for you. We know others that have been on the same diet for other health issues and it has helped.

[@RavenNl403]

Ouch, a kidney stone. Thanks for sharing. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

[@nkracken2659]

I want to thank you so much for putting out the video on vertigo. I’ve been fighting it now for a year when it comes on so dizzy and nauseous and sick and my balance hasn’t been right. I was wondering if you could do a video on the diet that he put you on I’m really interested in that cause I’d like this to go away, and hope you’re feeling better soon

[@lovinglife6080]

I've got bad vertigo to its horrible sorry your going through this and iam so sorry your having kidney problems Gods blessing to you both and your family

[@MariaMedina-qh8dp]

So sorry to hear about both of your health issues. Prayers for healing. I have Sarcoidosis and Diabetes so I understand eating with Autoimmune issues. My son just dealt with kidney stones and his started with extreme Left lower quadrant pain.

[@tatepugh7645]

God bless you both! My prayers go to yall!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Thanks!

[@carrieoverman4973]

Prayers and good thoughts for longterm healing and health. You’ve got this!

[@michaelmurphy8882]

Hope you 2 get doin better soon..be safe

[@keyman6689]

Prayed for you when Joy showed me the Facebook post. Glad you're better today and that it was only a passing issue (pun intended). Hope your new dietary changes help you find a solution to get to the root of your issues, Brie. My sister has been dealing with bizarre, debilitating health issues, and has a very restrictive diet. It's not easy, but it's worth it.

[@donnamartin6993]

I found this very interesting, please keep us updated. I have migrianess vertigo as I've gotten older. They say it happens to people sometimes that have a history of migrain headaches and I had them really bad when I was younger. I'm 60 years old now, the veritgo started in my 50's. I don't get them very often now which is good. My dad, he's 93, he has vertigo and has been to many doctors, speacialist and they have yet to figure out what is causing his vertigo so I am very interested in how you do with this process. I hope it works for you and again please keep us updated to see how it works and if it does maybe it would be something for my dad to try. Thanks

[@DougYeager-i8b]

[@reginacelia8966]

Thanks for the update on y’all!! Praying for you both 🙏♥️🙏

[@taradalmatianshaver6828]

🙏🏻🙏🏻For healing for both of you. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@hihunnieschristinehere]

Sounds like the Brazilian Steakhouse in Pigeon Forge for a datenight might cheer Brie up! Lots of Veggies and meats! Glad you’re feeling better Ryan!

[@denisehewer5669]

I haven't had true vertigo, which is when the world spins and you can't tell up from down. My issue was what I called a "boaty" feeling. Like I was walking on a boat. I watched a KZbin video on the Epley Manuever and tried it myself. It seemed like I got some relief, but it would come back on and off. In August, when visiting Sevierville, I got dizzy and actually fainted in Walmart. When I got back to Florida, I saw my doctor, and he referred me to a cardiologist. Long story short, my "boaty" feeling was caused by a heart issue. After fainting again about 10 days ago, my doctor hospitalized me and put in a pacemaker. I never thought my woozy-dizziness was caused by anything other than my inner ear. I'm glad you're looking into various treatments.

[@umctiger254]

Sounds like you may be seeing a DO who practices OMM. My son in law is in his 3rd year of Medical (DO) school and he's starting to teach me all of the wonders of OMM treatment in his overall toolkit .. Positive vibes for your improved treatment

[@tammerahanes1792]

Prayers For You Both Ryan and Brie, i know God Will Heal Sometimes it takes a Journey. And it sux. I have had my strughles im 64 yts old and have dogestive issues it comes and goes, i know someday it will go away. Just keep praying and praising Have Faith, Lots of Love 🙏💜🥰🤗😇😘❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@donnaallen9863]

Ohhhhh kidney stones. The most painful thing known to man! I have had a few. Spent 2 days in hospital for one, and have had 3 stone breakup procedures, plus several less severe ones that passed on their own. I feel your pain! Hope you feel much better now. Drink plenty of water!

[@christycleary216]

Prayers for good health and healing. I had a kidney stone 8 years ago. I know your pain. 😬 I was told lemon in your water or lemonade was good way to stop kidney stones from forming. I hope the treatments help you Brie.

[@MichaelRei99]

Drinking coffee is good to prevent kidney stones.

[@SJ-db1lh]

I hope you both feel better soon! I'm dealing with autoimmunes and my Dr. went into a different 'area' of practice. So, I'm struggling to find a 'good' Dr. 😢 Prayers for you both!! 💜🙏

[@DaniRay358]

I’ve had a kidney stone and gall stones! Very painful. Prayers you don’t have to go through that again. Thank you for sharing about your vertigo issues and treatment. I’m very interested bc I’m dealing w some ear issues myself. Hopefully this can help others.

[@carlosjohnson852]

Get well soon you guys. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

[@michaellinton4743]

I hope that y'all get better soon. I've had kidney stones twice, and they are not fun, never again. I've been only drinking water or lemon water ever since, and the last time that I had kidney stones was about 9 years ago. I also try to drink cranberry juice at least once a week to help out, too.

[@bev7236]

Low blood pressure, low blood volume, MVP, dysautonomia, occipital injury (hitting the back of the head) causing over convergence in eye(s), preservatives/additives, blood flow issues... All things that can cause chronic vertigo that doctors miss way too often. Keeping my protein below 100g on average a day helped stop my chronic kidney stones. I got off a shoebox full of medications a few years back. I managed to find ways to live with herbs, supplements and food as my medicine and regular exercise (hiking, weight lifting). Prayers for you all to find the answer 🙏🏻

[@amandadryman5593]

LOVE that y’all are going the naturopathic route! We’re here in WNC and one thing we took note of during the storm is how difficult it was for folks who were dependent on prescriptions. We try to get to the root cause of the problem too and help our bodies heal themselves the way God designed it to❤

[@JamesonBrindley]

Prayers for you both. Love your videos.

[@bethmahoney2233]

Prayers for both of you. My mom’s vertigo was resolved with one physical therapy session. They showed me how to perform the sequence of maneuvers in case it happens again. Bree, I hope you can get relief without meds.

[@scottwhite5070]

I feel ya! I was in the ER with a kidney stone a few weeks ago. That was my 2nd. Last one was 20 years ago. They are AWFUL!!! 😫

[@RobOlgatree]

Sending up prayers , you two got this 📿

[@shannonrodriguez8165]

I really admire your choice to try a holistic route first. I’m on a similar journey as plaquenil was recommended for me and I prefer not to take it. My husband and I are heading to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge for the first time and I’ve been researching restaurants that can accommodate my restrictions. I’ve been pleasantly surprised! Sending prayers for you both.

[@lesliegallagher2682]

Prayers for healing!

[@SoftlyandTenderly7]

Trust me Brie, you will love this lifestyle change and probably improve on it. We put so many things in our bodies that shouldn’t be in there and as for your husband, if he never wants another kidney stone, he needs to drink at least 8 cups of water per day, that’s it.

[@reneebarrow4697]

And no caffeine

[@robinpankey2495]

Oh my Ryan i feel for you I've had to have surgery to have a kidney stone removed it caused a blockage and I became septic. But they say that it's a lot worse for men than women. You two are in my prayers. God bless.

[@charlottecharlton]

Praying for you and your family God bless you

[@MarlaThomas-ss7vs]

God’s blessings- I have had several kidney stones attacks they are the worse very painful 😖 I heard it’s even worse for men - prayers you don’t have any more and healing to you both such a sweet family ❤

[@johnsemler5314]

Good luck with this to both of you

[@grambo72]

Sorry about Ryan's kidney stone! (We prayed for you!) And been there with the vertigo. Benign Positional Vertigo. Here's a tip for anti-inflammatory food. If you like Pork Rinds/Chicciarones. You can eat them! Skin (which is what pork rinds are made from) is collagen-rich, so it's very similar to broth in its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. We wish you well! Gina & John!

[@djbunkerking1]

Prayers for relief from the Vertigo! I have Menieres Disease and am going in for Endolymphatic Sac Decompression surgery. My diet is low sodium, no caffeine. I suggest looking into an Upper Cervical Chiropractor to focus specifically on the neck. Dr. Burcon in Michigan has done a lot of research and studies dealing with vertigo and the neck.

[@tedkeith9095]

Yall are awesome!😊

[@Teambem]

My husband has Meniers disease which has vertigo symptoms. I have a lot of medical issues and I have started the grounding option. I have tennis shoes that are grounded and they also have grounding sheets etc

[@christinecampbell2525]

I hope you guys get better soon. 🙏

[@mspurple2020]

Brie- thank you sooo much for Sharing this information. Sounds like you found an excellent place in Knoxville.❤ Going to suggest this diet to my Son who has POTS. Love & hugs to you both!

[@MichaelRei99]

If you have an Aldi near you should check them out. They have a surprising amount of clean foods in there. You just have to take your time and seek them out.

[@barbaradudley4083]

Thank you for sharing. My husband has been dizzy for the last year. And can't work because of it.

[@nitabenoit4129]

I had Vertigo and was sent straight to a Physical Therapist and was treated with Physical Therapy. My Physical Therapist fixed it in about 12 treatments. I’ve seen the same exercises on KZbin. Good luck and hope it’s cured soon!

[@dennehy69]

Bless you both.

[@dorothytokarczyk2644]

Feel better soon you all❤️

[@paulafizer4788]

Bless your hearts. Our family can sympathize with you for sure. My husband and others close to us have suffered from kidney stones. The females even said it was worth than childbirth pains. I've suffered from Vertigo and it's awful. Glad you've found a provider who looks for the root cause versus prescribing meds. We all need more of those providers around. The diet will be hard, but beneficial in many ways. It'll be tough, but we know you guys can do it! Maybe ask about a Vestibular Therapist too. They can provide therapy and exercises to help with the vertigo episodes. Praying you both feel much better soon.

[@donnaallen9863]

Yes, kidney stones are worse than natural childbirth. The extreme pain is like transitional labor with no let up for many hours or even a couple of days!

[@infinitelimitlesslightx5437]

[@wandafraver9263]

My daughter in law also had extreme vertigo. She feels it's another result of long haul covid but she had crystals in both ears out of place. She eventually found a neuro-chiropractor here in PA and after only few weeks she is 99% better. It was a rough time. Hoping you are better really soon! I hear kidney stones are horrible! Hope you are both on the mend soon!

[@tamaralawson4697]

The Epley maneuver performed by a Physical therapist trained in the technique has taken care of my vertigo. Praying for you both! God is good! ❤

[@davidcassidy6226]

I stopped counting my kidney stones after over 100. Tried changing diet and taking meds and had even more kidney stones. My body just decided to stop making them finally. Pray you don't have anymore!

[@KATHYMIKE6870]

Please know we have both had severe Vertigo last year, (Called BPPV…Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) Out point is the 1st few Subscribers nailed it! See a Physical Therapist they will do the “EPLEY PROCEDURE”, and both of our troubling vertigo which scared us was “cured, helped extremely “ within 2 appointments in one week! Bri, we promise you there are some chiropractors that know the EPLEY procedure, but the diet, etc. is not what you need to feel more yourself! One subscriber was right about taking Qunol (Turneric which is an anti-inflammatory) and not a RX like anti-vert which is a typical Dr. thing? Sorry Docs but I am a retired dentist who learned the best from my Physical therapist! Prayers for both of you as you are so deserving of God’s mercy and healing powers! Love to you both!

[@elbarto4394]

As a Paramedic I'm conflicted sometimes. I've had bad eczema since 2009 because of a reaction to Allegra, which is an allergy medicine. I'd rather find the cause of an illness rather than take meds for life 😊

[@donaldleewarner3868]

Get well guys! ❤

[@elvisfields3221]

I've had kidney stones before back 1992 before they give medication to devolve them and passed 4 the Most painful thing ever. Also my mom age 79yrs is having dizzy spells did know it could be Vertigo I'll pass it on to her for the doctor to check into that so thank you for any information

[@edschermerhorn5415]

Just had my second blocking kidney stone in 5 years in August… I tell everyone “This is why God had women bear children. No man would willing go through this after seeing a friend do it!”

[@music7064]

Prayers for the both of you. I have never had vertigo but ryan I can sympathize with you on the kidney stone. The last one I had was about 4 yrs ago and we let the house at 330 am because I was determined to be setting in cades cove by 8am. Well needless to we ended up in a hospital in knoxville then transferred to another one so they could remove a 8 mm kidney stone. We finally got to our hotel in pigeon forge at 9pm that night. The er dr told me that lemon in water is good at dissolving kidney stones so I drink at least 2 8oz of that everyday and knock on wood I have not passed anymore even though I know I have had them in my kidneys bc of them showing up on ct scans or xrays that I have had for other ailments.

[@brandon-jn8hy]

High Oxalate foods can cause kidney stones , do you eat a lot of spinach and almonds ?

[@craigpringle5937]

I know how you feel with the pain from kidney stones I have had them for years they done brother me all the time but when they act up it hurts in fact the pain from them has been so bad it has taken me down to my knees.one thing if they don't let up I would not have them blasted I had it done and would never have it done again praying you both get well

[@dianeturner9955]

The thing that helped my virago go away was when I went to P.T. And she was a virago specialist and she said it was my eyes causing it. So she did eye training with playing cards on the wall with a red laser beam exercises. Then she taught me to lay on my side and look up to the ceiling for 15 seconds. Then sit up slowly for a minute then change sides and do it again. I did these side exercises 3 times a day at first then twice a day, then just in the morning until it was gone. I have been really good for 5 years now but if I ever feel like that is trying to come back then I do the side exercises again.

[@dewaynemiller7642]

[@GretchenSuzanne]

Ryan I’ve had numerous kidney stones. I’ve also given birth twice. Kidney stones pain is much worse. I’ll have a baby any day over a kidney stone. Never let yourself get dehydrated. Drink water everyday all day. Lemon water helps also. Do lots of research of what to drink and eat and what to stay away from.

[@davidaszman7257]

I pass kidney stones all the time they don't hurt that bad I so had so many of them cuz I'm a diabetic I have to eat certain foods but since I stopped taking processed foods stop eating cereal cut down on your milk stop putting a lot of salt on your food like you said drink a lot of water I don't drink sodas sodas got a lot of sulfate in it stop eating hot dogs ham eat more eggs because that help with kidneys with told by my doctor eat red meat only don't eat a whole lot of pork

[@lisaeric2009]

We hope you are both ok

[@cristytripp3844]

Another option that could be helpful is myofascial release therapy. I am an mfr therapist and it can be helpful to release soft tissue restrictions that can cause misalignment of the middle ear. Goes well with the chiropractic care

[@tinawarren275]

The only that that cured my vertigo was ear tubes. I no longer get dizzy or light headed. Kidney stones is another issue. Ugghhh I’ve had 7 surgeries last year to remove them and still have one left. Trying meds now. But wish I knew a cure.

Hey guys love the gatlingburg area started following recently- in 2020 I had sudden vertigo out of the blue that would last 30-60 secs but would make me nauseous also- went to several specialist the only thing I noticed was stiff neck problems with it - cervical vertigo -I could pop my neck stretching around that time after working out the neck and doing things at gym shoulders etcc few months later it was gone I’m sorry you have it that was a nightmare experience

[@kathylavigne-b7q]

I was diagnosed with vertigo but my doctor sent me to a therapist that put a mask on my face and she could see granules that should be inside my ears were floating free, after about 3 sessions where I was on a table and had my head hanging down in different directios, some slow and some fast the dizziness stopped.

[@keithatkins9783]

Prayers with both of you I don't have if they sell this down in Tennessee but if they do do not I repeat do not drink turkey hill ice tea I hear turkey hill ice tea causes kidney stones

[@MrOkiparker]

Yeap...I had a kidney stone a couple of years ago. It's the worse pain ever, such a tiny spec when I came out.

[@Cruisingchicks]

[@Carole1207]

Sometimes pain meds are necessary. Extreme pain without relief can put a big strain on heart and body.

[@MrCrazychristian86]

I've had 3 kidney stones, and I've had nurses tell me that they would rather give birth than have kidney stones. On my first one, while I was in the hospital I had one nurses that she has given birth and had kidney stones stated that she would give birth again. Five other female nurses heard her from the nurses stations and all of them agreed with her. 😳

[@keithatkins9783]

I was just dealing with a detached retina in my right eye
