After years of service left him suffering from physical and mental trauma, Ben Davis regained his life back with diet and exercise.
in both of his feet. He lost significant hearing in both ears and had bilateral tinnitus . He was also diagnosed with PTSD and had a mild Traumatic Brain Injury .“It’s to be expected when you are in an environment where you are told that if you seek help, then you are weak—and no one ever wants to be considered to be weak,” said Davis. “In our free time, we were encouraged to do hand-to-hand combat training with each other.
It wasn’t until he finished serving and moved back to the U.S. in 2009 that he fully comprehended the damage it had done to his body. The most severe injury that he sustained was to his, which he described as being nearly destroyed. It was so bad that doctors in Washington, D.C., told him he might never run or jump again, and that daily pain was inevitable.
When Davis was prescribed a cocktail of prescription pills to treat the pain as well as depression, anxiety, and insomnia, he was wary of the effects of depending upon medications for daily functioning.“From 2008 to 2011 I lost 13 friends to suicide—guys just like me with similar injuries,” said Davis. “I didn’t want to end up like that and I didn’t know what was causing them to, but I knew that all of the medication probably wasn’t a good thing.
Without the medication, however, Davis was constantly in pain and at a loss for solutions. Searching for answers, he enrolled in Wayne State University in Michigan to study kinesiology, with a research emphasis on non-pharmacological interventions for PTSD.Though he was learning more about movement science, by 2017, Davis’s own fitness was falling by the wayside.
