These aren't the kind of medications to do that with.

I feel you man. I have back, neck and knee injuries. Life sucks sometimes, but I try my best to manage and stay positive.

Sounds like you’re serious. So, here’s the serious truth:
Stress, sugar, inflammation, water, diet, exercise.

Study & learn in detail about each of these as they relate to the gut/body. There is no magic pill, fade diet or BS shortcut.

Focus on elimination of stress, sugar and inflammation. So many diseases (incl your list) are a result of inflammation in the body. Research both foods that inflame & ANTI-inflame the body. Leave the inflammatory foods completely OUT & eat more foods that are anti-inflammatory. I could talk for hours on this alone.

Water detoxes the body. Drink plenty & often. MAKE it happen. Focus on greens for meals. Yes, eat majority GREENS & minority of meat. Swap the normal portions you’re used to. Pork is super inflammatory (sux, I know but it’s true so leave it out). As for as exercise, don’t get caught up in the cardio craze. It’s ok to an extent, but Resistance training is the ticket. Again, research proper resistance training, mainly technique. Don’t worry about being weak. Nobody really cares & you damn sure shouldn’t.

Do all this, I promise your woes will diminish significantly. I’ve seen this simple, no-nonsense advice drastically change lives.

Now go get it!

Your first point is what scares me though. If I'm having this many issues this early what's going to happen when I'm in my 50s. I'm scared to even think about it.


The hypertension and GERD managed properly and you'll be fine til you're old.

The asthma is where it gets tricky if you begin to have more complications.

Either way, try to optimize your health with weight loss and better food choices. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change

There has been a lot of good advice in this thread.

Simply, reduce a bad input (sugar, fat) increase a good output (exercise, intensity, duration) Rinse, Repeat. Eat cleaner, work harder. One step at a time. Then another. Then another. You can do this.

Tom Brady, that you?
You pretty much just listed the TB12 method. Haha. I do agree with you though

These are fairly common conditions. Don’t think about the future- take care of yourself in the present. Build up a good sweat every single day. If you’re having trouble getting into try a more fun form of exercise- biking, swimming, rowing- whatever works for you.
Switch to organic produce only (4-7 servings a day- starting with a morning smoothie)
Don’t eat processed food. Snack on things like cheese, organic nuts, high quality olives.
End your day with a gentle bedtime yoga routine- just staying stretched can make a huge difference in how you feel.
When you feel run down, eat things like turkey and crab (they provide selenium and zinc to boost your immune system).
try some meditations on YouTube- they may help you let go of the worry/mortality stuff
Reach out to friends- aside from the hospitalization stuff, you’re fairly normal for later 30s. Talking about it may help you chill out a bit

GERD (Mostly diet related and it's pretty minor but I do take Nexium 20mg, gastro doctor wants me to try Pepcid 40mg but I'm hesitant to do it).



1. No sodas or carbonated drinks
2. No eating or drinking anything but water 4 hours before bedtime
3. Use an inclined pillow or multiple pillows so you sleep at an angle until the diet eating habits have been in place for a while


These three things were game changers for me and will probably save you from esophagus or stomach cancer down the road

I'm late to the thread but here are my thoughts as a Rheumatologist:

This could very well be something called "Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis" (also called Churg-Strauss).

It's a systemic illness characterized by eosinophilic asthma, chronic sinusitis, pulmonary infiltrates, neuropathy and eosinophilia (blood test finding).

Asthma is the cardinal feature. Two-thirds get skin involvement (palpable purpura or nodules - needs a skin biopsy). Heart involvement can also happen (shortness of breath, heart failure or arrhythmia).

A Rheumatologist would evaluate you for this (ANCA blood tests, etc) and treat you accordingly if present.

I'm not trying to diagnose you on the internet or give you false hope but EGPA is a treatable condition and you should see a Rheumatologist to evaluate you further.

Hope this helps.

Not sure if there's much hope for me at this point.

I know I don't eat that great

Food is comfort. So make yourself uncomfortable, and start to feel better. Feeling better allows you to be more active. Being more active helps you eat less.

It all comes down to earing less.
