**DISCLAIMER** This episode discusses sensitive topics of suicide, mental health and addiction. If you are experiencing any substance addiction or dependency, please consult a medical professional before stopping use.
This week's guest has such an interesting story, he went from fighting in cages to fighting for his life, as his mental health hit rock bottom and he found himself sectioned for suicidal crisis. This was 7 months into sobriety no less.
He now teaches about mental health and chats to me about how being sober doesn't cure all your issues, the coping strategies and tools he used to pull himself out of that dark place and the trends and patterns he is seeing with people's mental health that today that didn't exist years ago.
We discuss AA, Kambo, mindfulness, ice baths and everything in between.
Despite his story, this isn't a dark and morose episode, there are plenty of laughs along the way, as Ryan pulls no punches in being candid and baring all.
