A lot of things have been labelled "autoimmune" that have turned out to not actually be autoimmune... so the question has to be asked: "Does auto-immunity actually exist?" To date, we do have evidence that autoimmune disease is very real, but most of these instances look to either be collateral damage, "molecular mimicry" where your body produces something that looks like an invader, or something else. And the root causes of "autoimmunity" are well understood to be leaky gut, a trigger of some sort and genetic predisposition. And in this episode, we're challenging the paradigm of autoimmune diseases to see if your body can actually attack itself. TOPICS DISCUSSED: What autoimmunity actually is "auto-antibodies" vs "antibodies" What it truly means to attack yourself Specific types of antibodies we thought attacked "self" but turned out to attack "other" Different anbitodies in Crohn's, Colitis and Lyme disease (just as examples) Evidence they are not attacking you How you can begin healing from autoimmune diseases Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review Need help with your gut?

Send us a textFor two decades, Rachel Gebhardt has navigated the complex terrain of Crohn's disease with a refreshing perspective shaped by her father's experience with the same condition. Where her father let illness define him, Rachel chose a different path—one filled with humor, openness, and resilience—despite her case being more medically severe.Rachel's journey encompasses four bowel surgeries and fourteen hospital admissions since 2020 alone, including a colostomy she affectionately named "Whoopie." With disarming candor, she shares the moment her surgeon showed her a photo of a woman in an American flag bikini with a matching ostomy bag cover as encouragement—a moment that eventually inspired her own celebratory beachside photo years later. Through skin infections, bowel obstructions, and dietary restrictions, Rachel maintains her commitment to living fully and modeling positive coping for her children.The military healthcare system presented unique challenges, but also connected Rachel with Dr. Anish Patel at Brook Army Medical Center, who became not just her gastroenterologist but her advocate and ally. Their relationship exemplifies the profound difference compassionate, specialized care makes for patients with complex conditions. Rachel details her experience with hyperbaric treatments, medication complications, and the surprising remission she experienced only during pregnancy and breastfeeding—highlighting the understudied connection between hormones and IBD.What resonates most deeply is Rachel's transformation from initially viewing her ostomy as "the end of the world" to embracing it as a source of freedom. Now training for a half marathon and hiking mountains previously inaccessible when bathroom urgency controlled her life, she's become an outspoken advocate for ostomy awareness. Her message is clear and powerful: life with an ostomy can be not just manageable, but genuinely good—a perspective desperately needed by those facing similar paths. For anyone navigating IBD or supporting someone who is, Rachel's story offers both practical wisdom and heartening hope.Links: United Ostomy AssociationOur episode with Dr. Anish PatelPregnancy and Crohn's - video from Brigham & Women's IBD CenterPregnancy & Breastfeeding info- Crohn's Colitis UKLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!
At the end of Food Allergy and Celiac Disease Awareness Month this May, I was thrilled to chat with Benji Koltai, co-founder and CEO of Galley. On this episode, Benji brings his personal journey with Crohn's disease and gluten intolerance, pairing it with his tech expertise to revolutionize food safety from the inside out. We dive deep into what “recipe first, people always” truly means—exploring how a digital recipe system transforms food safety, allergen awareness, and food waste in kitchens from hotels to college dining. Benji shares how Galley empowers foodservice teams—reducing food waste, streamlining operations, and making dining safer for everyone with dietary needs. Listen in to discover powerful stories from clients, the real numbers behind food waste savings, and how a single source of culinary truth can change the guest experience and bottom line. Benji's insights on technology, transparency, and compassion are game changers!
In this episode, host Unique and guest Luis Mojica discuss the concept of "food ideologies" and how they can become a person's identity, often to the detriment of their health.Podcast Summary: Food Ideology vs. Personal HealthIn this episode, Unique Hammond and her guest, Luis Mojica, discuss the concept of food as identity and how it can become a limiting factor in personal health journeys. Unique emphasizes that while the Bean Protocol was a tool that helped her heal from autoimmune conditions like Crohn's and endometriosis, she doesn't want it to be her sole identity.Both hosts share personal stories of how they subscribed to strict food ideologies—first vegetarianism, then veganism and macrobiotics—as a means of finding health. Luis recounts his journey from eating a highly processed diet to becoming a "militant vegan" after a traumatic experience at a factory farm. He initially thrived on a whole-foods vegan diet but later began to experience fatigue, brain fog, and weight gain. He realized his body was craving animal proteins and fats.They both highlight a key issue: when a food ideology becomes a person's identity, it can lead to social and internal conflict if they need to change their diet for health reasons. Luis shares his experience of losing friends and a book deal after he started incorporating eggs and fish into his diet. Unique notes that many of her clients, particularly women, feel better after adding in legumes and some animal protein, but are afraid to do so openly due to social pressure.The conversation touches on the psychological and emotional components of eating. They discuss how a strict diet can sometimes be a trauma response, a way of exerting control or protecting oneself. They also note that a balanced diet, like the one offered by the Bean Protocol™, can create a sense of internal stability that allows people to address deeper emotional issues. Unique concludes by saying her upcoming book will frame the Bean Protocol ™ as an omnivore plan for healing, emphasizing that wellness requires effort, consistency, and a willingness to listen to one's body.Scientific Correction:Clarification: The human body needs a total of 20 amino acids to build proteins, 9 of which are essential and must come from food. The body can create complete proteins from a variety of plant sources, provided the diet is varied enough to supply all the essential amino acids. The feeling of improved health from adding animal protein is likely due to the higher concentration and more easily digestible form of protein (a complete protein) and fat-soluble vitamins found in animal products, which may be more challenging to obtain in sufficient amounts on a vegan diet, not due to an inability to break down carbohydrates.A Note on Veganism:It's important to recognize that not everyone chooses a vegan lifestyle for health reasons. For many, the choice is driven by a deep ethical commitment to animal welfare and environmental sustainability. For these individuals, the diet is a core part of their moral belief system, and they may be willing to sacrifice their own health if needed for the life of an animal. This is a powerful and personal choice that goes beyond the conversation about food as medicine.

Welcome back to The Root of the Matter. In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Toni Engram, a SMART-certified biologic dentist, integrative health coach, and founder of Flourish Dental Boutique in Texas. From the moment we connected, it felt like talking with a soul sister. Our journeys through personal illness, holistic healing, and biologic dentistry mirror each other in many ways, and this conversation is packed with insights for anyone curious about how the mouth and body are deeply intertwined.Dr. Engram shares her personal story of being diagnosed with Crohn's disease, and how that turning point inspired her to reimagine the way she practiced dentistry. Instead of following the conventional model, she began to explore oral-systemic health, functional medicine, and the root causes of inflammation. Her journey led her to create a fluoride-free, mercury-safe dental practice where patients are cared for with a focus on prevention, healing, and whole-body wellness.Together, we explore the connections between oral health, the gut microbiome, and the nervous system. We talk about why airway health, tongue ties, and sleep apnea matter more than most people realize, and how breathing patterns can influence everything from digestion to a child's development. Dr. Engram also opens up about the challenges of transitioning a conventional dental practice to a biologic model, and why authenticity is so important when guiding patients through this work.What We Dive Into in This EpisodeDr. Engram's healing journey with Crohn's disease and how it shaped her careerThe overlap between gut dysbiosis, oral inflammation, and systemic healthSleep apnea, airway health, and the role of the nervous system in preventionWhy fluoride-free and mercury-safe dentistry supports long-term healthSalivary testing, microbiome diversity, and why pH balance matters more than fluorideHow materials like composites, zirconia, and biocompatible ceramics impact the bodyThe power of ozone, PRF, and functional tools for saving teeth and preventing root canalsCreating a dental practice that is truly authentic and patient-centeredThis conversation is full of practical pearls and heart-centered wisdom. Whether you're a patient curious about biologic dentistry, a mom navigating your child's oral health, or a provider looking for inspiration on the path toward more holistic care, you'll leave this episode with fresh perspective and hope.Connect with Dr. Toni IngramWebsite: flourish.dentalInstagram: @drtoniengram✨ Thank you for helping us reach the top 5% of podcasts in the oral health space!

Most people think iron is only a concern if they're deficient, but too much iron can be just as dangerous. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Christy Sutton, a leading figure in the study of iron imbalances, to explore the often-overlooked health epidemic of unrecognized iron overload. Anchored around her book, The Iron Curse, we discuss why outdated laboratory ranges often fail to detect these imbalances and why recognizing them is so crucial for long-term health. From there, we dive into the intricacies of iron metabolism and the need for updated functional health ranges tailored to healthy populations. Dr. Sutton explains how imbalances can signal underlying health problems and highlights the value of functional lab testing in catching issues conventional methods often miss. We also explore the role of genetic testing—especially for hereditary hemochromatosis—and how genetics and environmental factors work together to influence iron levels. Key Takeaways: Iron Imbalance Epidemic: Iron imbalances, particularly overload, are often underdiagnosed due to outdated lab ranges and misconceptions, representing a silent health epidemic. Functional vs. Conventional Ranges: Functional health ranges, as opposed to traditional lab ranges based on sick populations, are crucial for accurate diagnosis of iron-related health conditions. Importance of Genetic Testing: Genetic factors (hemochromatosis genes) play a significant role in iron overload, necessitating comprehensive testing beyond typical lab work. Dietary and Lifestyle Influences: Both high and low iron levels are influenced by diet, lifestyle, and, importantly, how iron interacts with other nutrients and lifestyle factors like exercise. Gender and Iron Requirements: Iron needs differ significantly by sex and life stages, with menstrual and post-menopausal women, as well as men, needing tailored iron management strategies. More About Dr. Christy Sutton, D.C.: Dr. Christy Sutton is interested in asking why health problems happen and finding the safest and least problematic solutions. Her work takes a deep and meaningful dive into genomics, labs testing and creating a personalized health plan. Her focus on finding and avoiding health landmines early stems from her personal experience with Crohn's and celiac disease plus her husband's experience with high iron, hemochromatosis, and a pituitary tumor that likely was associated with having undiagnosed hemochromatosis.

What if everything we needed to know about what to eat was already written in the Bible?Jordan Rubin—bestselling author, health rebel, and co-founder of Ancient Nutrition—almost didn't make it past 19 thanks to Crohn's disease and a cancer diagnosis.

We're breaking down raw milk, the “war on bread,” A1 dairy vs. gluten, and yes… whether Jesus would even survive a trip to your local grocery store.
Start Your Transformation Now In this inspiring episode of the Transformational Interview Series, Jim sits down with Sally McMurray, a TCP graduate from Sydney, Australia, who turned around three of the biggest areas in her life—health, marriage, and money. From living with Crohn's disease for over 40 years to being on the brink of divorce and feeling stuck in her business, Sally's journey is a testament to the power of mindset shifts, responsibility, and self-healing. Sally opens up about how stress-triggered Crohn's was controlling her life, the control patterns that nearly destroyed her 30-year marriage, and the fear-based thinking that kept her business small. She shares the pivotal TCP tools—like self-hypnosis, letting go of control, and redefining her identity—that have helped her heal physically, reconnect with her husband, and embrace her business as a true career. If you've ever felt trapped by a diagnosis, stuck in a strained relationship, or overwhelmed by money anxiety, this episode will show you how lasting transformation is possible when you're willing to be honest with yourself and take action. What You'll Discover in This Episode: Healing Is an Inside Job (07:12) Why calming the mind allowed Sally's body to finally start healing from a decades-long chronic condition. Letting Go of Control to Save a Marriage (10:33) How releasing the need to control everything transformed her 30-year relationship. From Red Hot Mess to Responsibility (12:43) The TCP module that revealed her own patterns—and shifted her from blaming to owning her actions. Treating Business Like a Career, Not a Hobby (21:02) The mindset shift that helped Sally commit fully to her jewelry business. Living as a ‘Polished Rock' (28:24) How letting life's challenges roll off her has brought true freedom and lightness. The Power of the TCP Community (34:19) Why support, accountability, and shared breakthroughs accelerate personal transformation. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway Your diagnosis, relationship status, or financial situation does not define you—your mindset does. As Sally discovered, lasting change comes from within. By letting go of control, calming your mind, and committing fully to your own growth, you create the space for healing, deeper connection, and greater abundance. Transformation isn't about avoiding life's challenges—it's about meeting them as your most powerful self. Let's Connect: Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?

En este episodio te traigo un caso real muy interesante: el de una paciente que llevaba años con un diagnóstico de colon irritable, pero cuya sintomatología no acababa de encajar.Dolor abdominal, cansancio extremo y, además, alteraciones autoinmunes visibles en la piel que hacían sospechar que había algo más detrás.A través de la exploración clínica, la revisión de pruebas y la evolución de sus síntomas, descubrimos que no se trataba de un colon irritable, sino de una enfermedad de Crohn que llevaba tiempo sin detectarse.Comentaremos cómo se dio el cambio de diagnóstico, qué factores hicieron sospechar que había una enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal, la importancia de un abordaje multidisciplinar y qué impacto tuvo en la vida de la paciente, tanto a nivel físico como emocional.

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, welcomes David Altman, MD, dermatologist at Midwest Center of Dermatology in Warren, MI, to review recent case studies that highlight unexpected presentations, treatment responses, and immune system interplay in dermatology. The first case focuses on a 34-year-old patient with severe, recalcitrant Hailey-Hailey disease. After multiple failed therapies, including antibiotics, corticosteroids, apremilast, and low-dose naltrexone, she achieved near-complete clearance within 12 weeks on dupilumab. Drs Altman and Del Rosso share their thoughts on why a drug targeting type 2 inflammation might be effective in a condition traditionally considered structural, drawing parallels to reports in Darier disease. Next, the conversation shifts to an unusual immune response observed in a patient with well-controlled psoriasis on IL-17 inhibitors who developed widespread atopic dermatitis. Dr Altman describes this as a “cytokine shift,” where suppression of IL-17 may upregulate IL-4 pathways, mirroring the reverse effect sometimes seen with IL-4 inhibition. While uncommon, such effects are now recognized in prescribing information, and the patient improved after transitioning to a broader-acting JAK inhibitor (upadacitinib). In the final case, a patient with Crohn's disease developed rapidly progressing alopecia areata while on infliximab. Switching to tofacitinib improved hair growth but worsened gastrointestinal symptoms. Following colectomy, both the Crohn's disease and alopecia resolved, highlighting the role of systemic inflammation in driving skin disease. Tune in to the full episode to hear more about these unique cases, the underlying immunologic mechanisms, and how lessons from complex cases can inform everyday dermatologic practice.

Send us a textIn this podcast, we talk about the findings of a recent study published in The Lancet regarding the benefits of a plant-based diet for people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). We discuss the significance of including more plant-based foods in the diet, the importance of fiber for gut health, and practical steps for gradually introducing fiber into the diet. We have been talking about including more fiber and plant based foods into the diet for a long time and many research studies support this! Takeaways-- A plant-based diet can significantly reduce the risk of developing Crohn's and ulcerative colitis.- Individuals with IBD may experience fewer hospitalizations and surgeries when following a plant-based diet.- The study included a large sample size, enhancing the reliability of its findings.- Incorporating plants into the diet is crucial for gut health.- Fiber intake is linked to reduced flare-ups in IBD patients.- A gradual approach to increasing fiber intake is recommended.- Soluble fibers are often better tolerated by those with IBD.- Support and guidance can help individuals transition to a more plant-based diet.- The importance of plants in nutrition has been consistently supported by research.Chapters:00:00- Introduction to the Plant-Based Diet Research02:25- Impact of Plant-Based Diet on IBD05:14- Understanding Fiber and Gut Health07:14- Practical Steps for Introducing Fiber09:35- Encouragement and Support for Dietary ChangesFollow us on instagram @crohns_and_colitis_dietitiansFollow us on youtube @thecrohnscolitisdietitiansWe love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel.

When our youngest son was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, the prognosis was heartbreaking — a lifetime of powerful medications, possible stunted growth, and no real cure. But we believed God had a better plan. This is our real-life story of hope, faith, and miraculous healing.We navigated countless prayers, an emotional diagnosis, and the search for alternatives to a pharmaceutical treatment. We were led to a nutrition-based healing approach, a God-appointed health coach, and a series of divine confirmations — including an unforgettable “Cornelius” moment straight from Acts 10. Today, our son is thriving: running track, building strength, and living symptom-free.If you or someone you love is facing Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or another autoimmune condition, this testimony will encourage you to believe for more. God still heals. Your body can recover. And your story isn't over.Support the showVisit our website for more information on our ministry.https://theunseenstory.org/

In 2019, I became very ill. I experienced severe reflux, which made my voice raspy and left me with a constant sore throat. At times, I would wake up at night gasping for breath, and it would take several minutes to regain control of my breathing. I went from doctor to doctor... what was happening to me? Finally, someone diagnosed me with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). But hold on, doesn't that only happen to overweight older men? Apparently not. To improve, I had to learn to take care of my gut health. I had to stop eating dinner so late. I needed at least three hours between my last meal and when I would go "horizontal" for sleep. I learned that digestion starts "in the mouth," so I had to slow down how quickly I ate. Today's podcast features guest Dane Johnson, who faced life-threatening digestive issues. He struggled with severe Crohn's disease and colitis, leading to months of hospitalization. Now, he has learned how to heal and shares his tips for rebuilding gut health in this episode. ______ Vitali Skin Care Have you heard about copper peptides? I hadn't either, until I listened to a podcast about the power of copper peptides with Debbi Barber, the founder of Vitali Regenerative Skin Care. I was intrigued by their discussion about copper peptides and how they can help soften scars, regenerate skin, and even improve the appearance of crepey skin. It's not often that I stop what I'm doing, read research, and order the products, but that's precisely what I did! And then I emailed Vitali Skin Care and asked for a coupon for my community. In hindsight, I should have asked for the coupon for my order, but nonetheless, you get 20% off your order! I'm trying body creme and skin serum. I will keep you posted on my results! https://www.vitaliskincare.com/discount/cancerwarrior?ref=cbkmpsij ____ Air Dr. I've been using the Air Doctor air purifier for almost a year and absolutely love it! I first heard about it from Dr. Mark Hyman, and even though it was a bit of a splurge compared to what I usually spend, I'm so glad I invested. Every time I change the filter and see all the gunk it collects, I smile, knowing it's doing a great job keeping my air clean! And I'm so happy that all that gunk isn't going into my body ;) Click here to purchase: https://airdoctorpro.com/?oid=17&affid=6165 ______ Connect with Dane Johnson YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf3Yhapgc2Qb16_MP7f-DuQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danejohnson1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CrohnsColitisLifestyle ______ Connect with Deborah Deborah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whydidigetcancer/ Deborah on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DebsHealthCoachKitchen Deborah on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ydidigetcancer Deborah on Pinterest: https://in.pinterest.com/whydidigetcancer/ Join Deb's weekly newsletter: https://whydidigetcancerbydeborahenos.myflodesk.com/newslettersignup Learn more about your ad choices.
