Because of this, Sutter felt like he is powerless against the infectious disease. To manage this kind of bugging moment, he began doing outdoor activities and made himself feel good.
"And I go somewhere that makes me feel small and I breath[sic] and I come to the realization that from moment to moment life is simple and that if I can just stay in the moment, I can exist in a simple state of readiness - for myself and for others," he went on.
Sutter's Journey With Lyme Disease
Sutter and his wife Trista began their journey last year. However, he suddenly felt extreme pain and fatigue. He underwent several tests to find out what was going on inside his body.
After a few appointments with his doctors, he was diagnosed with Lyme disease. According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, the disease remains the most common vector-borne illness in the country. A patient gets the bacterium through the bite of infected black-legged ticks.
During his appearance in his wife's "Better Etc." podcast, he shared that he was also diagnosed with the Epstein-Barr virus. It is one of the most common human viruses in the world that can cause infectious mononucleosis.
Due to these health issues, he reportedly suffered from exhaustion and dehydration that eventually weakened his immune system.
The firefighter and his wife initially assumed that the symptoms were caused by Lymphoma. But after a few tries, they discovered what's truly happening to him.
Instead of taking heavy antibiotics, Sutter revealed that he opted to start a healthy diet instead. In the same podcast, he revealed that his specific diets somehow alleviate pain and help his internal organs function again.
