Oh, yeah. Antibiotics fucked my life up way more than anything else I've ever done to myself. That's so crazy.

Well, so it was like... So if you get staph and you don't treat it, it just spreads and you die. So it was like I got caught in this cycle where it was like I got staph, I took antibiotics, and then I'd be good for two days. Got staph, took antibiotics, got staph, took antibiotics, got staph. So I'd have like three days of training, and then I would just get staph again.

Because once my stomach started to get affected and my immune system wasn't as strong... My body was trying to fix my stomach, and then I would get staffed because my immune system wasn't as strong. So then I'd take antibiotics, and then that would destroy my stomach, make my immune system weaker, and then I'd get staffed again. So I just got caught in this cycle.

And I'm sitting there like, I'm not a pussy. I'm not going to stop training. So it was just me training the whole time, regardless of what was going on. Like, I would not train when I had the staff, but I wasn't going to, like, take time off and, like, try to deal with my stomach. I was just like, fucking got to compete next month. God damn.

I mean, I've been forced into like two-week fasts. Two weeks? Yeah, like pretty much like not eating hardly anything. I was actually, before I fought Roberto Jimenez, the one time I called the armbar, I was in the hospital like two days before that getting IVs because I just hadn't eaten in like a week and a half, two weeks.

I just like couldn't eat anything.

I just like couldn't eat anything.

I just like couldn't eat anything.

So obviously then that's not going to cure it. No. And the problem is everything is trial and error. So it's like, oh, try this for eight weeks. Fucking eight weeks is a long time. And you can't do everything at one time because then you don't know. Like you said, I just threw everything at it. I don't know what's actually making me feel good.

So it's like you have to add one thing and take away one thing at a time. What about your diet? Has anything helped in that regard? I couldn't even eat red meat for a long time. Like everyone was suggesting carnivore, but my stomach just wouldn't digest it. Like fast food screws me up. Steaks sometimes still mess me up. Spicy food I can't do. Like light chicken and rice, eggs.
