Doctors Gave Up on Him — How Jacob Beat Liver Failure Without Transplant
Description
Jacob Schulze (@feel.sober.good) opens up about pandemic drinking, hiding alcohol, “show drinks,” liver cirrhosis symptoms, a MELD score near transplant range—and why he chose a different path.
We talk boredom triggers, daily drinking creeping to dependence, jaundice and leg pain, faith, functional approaches, and what early labs (CMP/CBC) can reveal.
If you’re struggling with alcohol, this conversation is hope in long form.
