Immunic Inc chief scientific officer Hella Kohlhof talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the significance of Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Week. She outlined the challenges of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic and serious condition affecting the digestive tract. "It's not just a regular stomach issue; it's a lifelong disease," she explained, emphasizing the debilitating symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, and weight loss. Kohlhof discussed Immunic's innovative research projects targeting IBD. The company's IMU-856 aims to restore the gut lining's functionality through epigenetic modulation, while IMU-381 focuses on anti-inflammatory properties, addressing different aspects of gastrointestinal health. She encouraged viewers to explore resources provided by advocacy groups like the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation and to talk openly about IBD, helping to reduce the stigma and promote awareness. "Please speak about the disease and inform others to see a doctor if they have symptoms," Kohlhof urged.

This week is Crohns and Colitis Awareness Week in the UK (I think!) and I share a brief story of my journey with IBD. I am also aware of little "anxious espisodes" that have occurred and why my Irrational Brain has been pretty annoying at times! I have also enlisted the help of a coach this week to make me more accountable for my overall health and hopefully set me in good stead ahead of my summer holiday. As always LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED - content contains themes of mental health, ulcerative colitis symptoms, anxiety episodes.

"Those were the darkest and hardest days of my life, and the biggest thing that I would do differently is I would ask for help. Instead, I hid, I locked that apartment door, and I wouldn't let anyone see me." Last week, in honor of Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Week, I talked about living with these diseases for the past 30 years. (Listen to that episode here.) Now, I'm wrapping things up by talking about running with Crohn's disease, navigating the emotional and mental sides of this disease (trigger warning here: lots of talk of depression and being in a really low, dark place), and how to support the people in your life living with a chronic illness. Plus, my hotel lobby hack (that rarely works, but I always try!), my fear of trail cams and small-town Facebook groups, and so much more.

"It's like someone has a hand mixer — what you would use to make brownies — on low at all times. And then without warning, they turn it up to high. That's what it feels like in my stomach." This year marks 30 years of living with Crohn's disease. I was diagnosed with this inflammatory bowel disease (sexy stuff!) when I was 7, and in my twenties, that diagnosis was upgraded to Crohn's-colitis. (Overachiever alert!) Today, in honor of Crohn's & Colitis Awareness Week (December 1–7), I'm talking all about my history with IBD and about living with a chronic illness. (Reminder: I'm not a doctor! This is all about my personal, lived experience with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.) SPONSORS:  goodr. Click here for free shipping on your next goodr order!

As always, Cass and Sarah discuss their own personal experiences in a raw, transparent and hilarious manner, emphasising that this is certainly not the podcast for certified medical advice and guidance! Cass and Sarah share their recommendations that have helped them with each symptom, which do not necessarily involve their stomach area.For anyone who wants to hysterically laugh, not listen to anything politically correct, empathise and relate to two professional women who continue to work far too many hours, study when they have no free time to do so, date all the wrong and right men, love a glass of vino and have so many poo stories that will ensure Cass, in particular, will never date again, make sure you tune in.How to tune in:1) Apple Podcasts2) Google Podcasts3) Spotify4) Amazon MusicAnd for behind the scenes footage follow @Poptotheloopodcast on Instagram !Do not forget to email Cass and Sarah on hello@poptotheloo.com for any advice, tips or questions of interest.

Darren sat down with Andy Smith to have another discussion about all things Crohn's & Colitis. We talk about dealing with the mental side of these conditions and Andy offers Darren some tips on being a new dad and managing IBD. As always, an embarrassing story and lots of laughs too.

Did you know the beginning of December is Crohn's & Colitis Awareness Week? Crohn's Disease is a disability that does not get as much emphasis because it is an invisible disability.This week I have another APU alumnus, Kaylin Morford. At seven years old, Kaylin Morford was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. She has now lived this disease for the past 18 years seeing countless hospital beds, medications, and operation rooms. Despite the ups and downs of being chronically ill, she finds great purpose and joy in sharing her story of living with a chronic illness and invisible disability. During her time as an undergraduate student, she was the co-president and co-founder of Azusa Pacific University’s (APU) club, STRONG, an on-campus support group for students with disabilities to find support, understanding, and advocacy for more resources on campus. Now working in the Accessibility and Disability Resources office at APU, she is gifted with the opportunity to continue advocating for people with chronic illnesses and disabilities on the campus.

Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Week is full of events that aim to raise funds and understanding of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). One of these is Gaming4Guts, a gaming marathon to raise funds for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation. Participants stream over Twitch during the 72-hour event but they have also formed a community, keeping in contact year-round on the Gaming4Guts Discord server. Kenzie, John, and Mark from Gaming4Guts sat down with me to talk about their personal connections to IBD, the evolution of Gaming4Guts, and what their goals are this year.

Michael Popowits has been meditating for over 20 years and is a Senior Lecturer and Director of Student Professional Development at the University level. Also, it’s “Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Week” and I talk about how my Thanksgiving weekend found its way into the pool.

In the final episode of my Summer of Activism Series, I asked Brooke Abbott of The Crazy Creole Mommy Chronicles to help us better understand Congressional Briefings. During Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Week, she spoke at a briefing about IBD and minority health. It was an opportunity to bring awareness to this little-discussed factor of IBD and it presented some challenges and opportunities. Learn more about Congressional Briefings, how they are an important tool for advocacy groups, and how they have an impact on public policy.   See video of the Congressional Briefing on IBD & Population Health: https://www.facebook.com/ccfafb/videos/452493261950841/   Find Brooke Abbott of The Crazy Creole Mommy Chronicles at: Blog: https://crazycreolemommy.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CrazyCreoleMama Twitter: https://twitter.com/CrzyCreoleMommy/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crazycreolemama/   Find Amber J Tresca of About IBD at: Verywell: https://www.verywell.com/ibd-crohns-colitis-4014703 Blog: http://aboutibd.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aboutIBD/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/aboutIBD Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/aboutibd/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/about_IBD/   Credits: Additional sound engineering courtesy Mac Cooney, https://www.facebook.com/michaelandrewcooney "About IBD with Amber Tresca" ©Cooney Studio http://cooneystudio.com/

I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease when I was 7 years old. It was a scary, confusing time in my life, and while I’d love to say I’ve figured it all out since then, the truth is that this disease constantly keeps me on my toes. I’m someone who loves to live life according to plan, but living with a chronic, incurable illness makes that pretty tough — and has forced me to adjust to a life of uncertainty. I’m going through a Crohn’s flare right now (boo!), so on this episode I’m sharing exactly what that feels like, why I think it happens, and why I keep running — bathroom stops and all. (There’s a lot of bathroom talk in this one. Get excited!)
