Live Life Aggressively Podcast w/Mike Mahler & Sincere Hogan

Andrew Marr is a former Special Forces Green Beret, founder of Warrior Angels Foundation, an organization whose sole purpose is to stop the deaths of veterans suffering from PTSD symptoms caused by traumatic brain injuries. Marr's last deployment  in 2013 was emotionally and physically taxing where he and his Special Forces team were engaged in constant combat through it's entirety. Marr suffered numerous traumatic brain injuries from explosions, which resulted in his medical retirement.    When Marr returned to the states he began a 6 month spiral downward. Once an elite performer in life or death moments in war, Marr couldn't even remember how to drive home. He started struggling with cognition, memory, behavior, alcohol, all symptoms common with PTSD. The conventional treatment he received from the VA did not help, and so his journey to find a solution began. He joins us today to share that solution with you in the hopes that we can slow if not altogether stop the 22 veterans a day who are committing suicide thinking there is no hope or help for them. There is hope, and there is help. Andrew joins us to discuss the following:   Andrew shares how he began working with Dr. Mark Gordon & also started his journey toward treating his symptoms from TBI  Why is it important to be your own best health advocate How has clomid benefited the soldiers Warrior Angels has worked with in the last year Has there been push back from other physicians regarding Dr. Gordon's protocol  How has WAF's effort been received by the Veterans Administration  How has WAF worked with female soldiers dealing with sexual trauma & its effects on hormones How can civilians become more involved in supporting our returning veterans, beyond stating "I support the troops" How does Warrior Angels Foundation remain transparent and credible in an field filled with over 40,000 organizations specializing in helping returning combat vets What is needed to help the WAF to take their mission to the next level & how can we help How does head trauma contribute to the rise in homelessness and incarceration Why you can't always meditate your problems away What is the process to begin treatment via WAF       All this and much more:   Links & Resources mentioned in the show: Keep the LLA Podcast free. Become a monthly supporter via $5 or more on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/llapodcast Warrior Angels Foundation:  http://warriorangelsfoundation.org Purchase Aggressive Strength products: http://strengthbymahler.com Purchase Aggressive Strength Bundles:  http://budurl.com/mahlerbundles Purchase New Warrior Training products: http://newwarriortraining.com Sincere's Top 5 coffee suggestions: http://newwarriortraining.com/coffeestands/     Listen and download at http://strengthbymahler.com or http://newwarriortraining.com. also subscribe, download, rate & review us at:iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/live-life-aggressively-podcast/id646524617 Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=34706&refid=stprAlso, be sure to "like" and connect with us on our Facebook fan page at http://facebook.com/llapodcast.
