In this episode of The Inspire Health Podcast, we're diving into something that's been creating quite a buzz in the world of chronic illness care—Low Dose Naltrexone, or LDN for short. This isn't your average prescription. It's an off-label treatment that's showing promising results for autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, and even stubborn pain. From fibromyalgia and MS to Crohn's disease and beyond, LDN is offering hope where options have felt limited. But like everything in medicine, it's personal. What works wonders for one body might barely make a ripple in another. So grab your herbal tea or take me on your next walk—let's explore whether LDN might be that missing piece in your wellness puzzle. Themes: What LDN actually is and how it works How it helps rebalance the immune system and calm the chaos of inflammation The real-life patient stories—from life-changing relief to “meh,” because let's be honest, healing isn't one-size-fits-all Why LDN's side effect profile is making people take notice (spoiler: it's refreshingly minimal) The cutting-edge research hinting at LDN's potential role in cancer care Why your healthcare provider should absolutely be in the loop if you're considering giving LDN a try Connect with Jen:
What if trauma isn't just in your head, but in your cells, your gut, your immune system? In this electrifying conversation, Jerome Myers is joined by Dr. Don Wood, the founder of the Inspired Performance Institute and creator of TIPP, a neuroscience-based program for trauma resolution. What begins as a deeply personal story about saving his daughter's life turns into a profound revelation: most of what we treat with pills could be solved by healing the mind. If you've ever been told to just “manage” your anxiety, stress, or diagnosis, this episode is your wake-up call. [00:00 – 12:00] Trauma Is the Root, Not the Symptom “Medication is like giving tissue for a runny nose, what caused it?” Trauma often underlies anxiety, addiction, and even autoimmune disease Dr. Wood's daughter's Crohn's and lung disorder stemmed from childhood trauma, not just biology [12:01 – 22:00] The Brain Isn't Broken, It's Protecting You The subconscious runs 95% of your daily life and doesn't understand time Emotional triggers (or “activations”) are unresolved calls for action “Anxiety is your mind trying to solve something from years ago, now.” [22:01 – 32:00] The Science of Reprocessing Memory Traumatic memories are stored in high-def; the solution is to reduce their intensity “We don't erase memory, we reclassify it. So your brain sees it as past, not present.” Healing isn't about forgetting; it's about removing emotional dysregulation [32:01 – 42:00] It's Not Just About Therapy, It's About Resetting Traditional therapy relieves the trauma; TIPP reprocesses it safely and quickly "I don't need the whole story, just the trailer.” The mind must feel safe before it can heal [42:01 – 49:00] Resilience is Built on Safety, Not Hardship “You don't toughen a boxer by beating him before the fight.” A stable home builds resilience; trauma erodes it before life begins The system needs to feel safe to learn, grow, and repair [49:01 – End] Why He Didn't Stop After Saving His Daughter “We could've stopped. But we felt a calling.” Dr. Wood uses TIPP to help veterans, athletes, CEOs, and kids “Your mind and body are designed to heal. Trauma just gets in the way.” Key Quotes: “The mind and body are designed to heal. What's interfering with it—in most cases, at least 80%—is unresolved trauma.” - Dr. Don Wood “You can't sabotage yourself. Your brain's a survival brain. It's protecting you.” - Dr. Don Wood Connect with Dr. Smith! Website: http://www.inspiredperformanceinstitute.com/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drdonwoodphd Ready for your next chapter?

In this powerful, long-form interview, Kristina Bauer returns to the Tick Boot Camp Podcast to share her in-depth story of surviving decades of misdiagnosed Lyme disease — from childhood illness and misdiagnoses to motherhood, advocacy, and remission. Diagnosed at age 40 after 32 years of medical dismissal, Kristina discusses her experience with congenital Lyme disease in her four children, postpartum Lyme flares, and her commitment to raising awareness through the Texas Lyme Alliance, Center for Lyme Action, and International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) Ambassadorship. Her testimony covers essential ground: pediatric Lyme, maternal Lyme, psychiatric symptoms like Lyme rage, postpartum depression misdiagnosis, sexual transmission, and the need for insurance and diagnostic reform. This episode is a masterclass in Lyme disease education and empowerment, especially for women, mothers, and families navigating complex Lyme journeys. Key Topics Discussed Early Lyme Exposure: Tick bites at age 8 in Illinois and decades of misdiagnosis (juvenile arthritis, Crohn's, ulcers) Chronic Symptoms: Sinus infections, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), fibromyalgia, neurological and psychiatric symptoms Postpartum Lyme Flares: Crushing fatigue, misdiagnosed postpartum depression, and suicidal ideation risk Congenital Lyme Disease: How all four of her children were born with Lyme and are now in remission Mental Health Awareness: Lyme rage, mood swings, panic attacks, and the importance of therapy Tick-Borne Disease Advocacy: Legislative work in Texas, ILADS, educating OB-GYNs, and pushing for proper diagnostic protocols Medical System Failures: Inadequate Lyme testing, gaslighting, high insurance costs for chronic illness Lyme & Pregnancy Research Study: An open call for pregnant individuals diagnosed with Lyme disease during their current pregnancy, OR with post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) in the past 5 years.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX The American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions kicks off in a week – we expect as always to get a lot of information! I'm not covering in person this year, but I'll bring you any big announcements. And we'll do a wrap up In the News the following week. -- XX UVA with something new.. technology that allows an artificial pancreas system to adapt to users' changing needs – and lets users adjust the settings – beyond what's commercially available now. They're calling this “adaptive biobehavioral control,” the technology helps fine-tune UVA's artificial pancreas every two weeks, giving users a virtual tool to test different ways to manage their blood sugar using their own data. In a six-month study, participants using the technology spent more time in a healthy blood-sugar range, rising from 72% to 77%, and saw a small but meaningful drop in their average blood-sugar levels. While automated insulin delivery systems help users better manage Type 1 diabetes, adaptive biobehavioral control technology is designed to improve blood-sugar control during the day, when fluctuations occur more frequently due to meals and physical activity. This new technology uses “digital twins,” computer models simulating how a person's body processes sugar. The models help the artificial pancreas keep up with changes in the user's body and habits and give users a way to interact with the system. For example, users can try different settings, like how much insulin is released overnight, using the simulation before applying them in real life. https://news.virginia.edu/content/uvas-artificial-pancreas-uses-digital-twin-tech-improve-diabetes-control XX Five years later after COVID-19 his the US, a new study shows that there is a connection with type 1 diabetes triggers. This is new research from the University of Utah published in the journal ImmunoInformatics. With T1D in particular, a COVID infection appears to trigger the immune system of certain people who have a prior susceptibility to the condition to subsequently develop T1D symptoms, the new study suggests. University of Utah researchers hypothesize that COVID is leading to T1D diagnoses in a roundabout way as the virus presents the body with “molecular mimics,” or fragments of COVID proteins that bear an uncanny resemblance to those beta cell antigens. When a person is infected with COVID, the immune system not only attacks fragments of the viral protein but also attacks fragments of beta cell antigens because they look so similar and get mistaken for each other, explains lead study author Julio Facelli, Ph.D., a distinguished professor of biomedical informatics at University of Utah Health in Salt Lake City. That means that in people who are already predisposed to T1D, there may be a simultaneous autoimmune reaction involving the destruction of healthy beta cells, spurring the onset of type 1 diabetes. Both 2022 and 2024 research indicates that there has been a significant increase in new onset type 1 diabetes following the start of the COVID pandemic. It's difficult to estimate just how many cases may have been triggered by COVID because numerous viruses, including rotavirus, measles, mumps, and rubella, can spark an autoimmune response that activates T1D, according to the 2022 research published in Immunology & Cell Biology. Again, it's important to note that researchers don't believe a COVID infection is causing diabetes, but rather, triggering it, in the same way certain environmental factors are believed to trigger immune-mediated conditions like Crohn's and psoriasis. “ https://www.healthcentral.com/news/type-1-diabetes/how-covid-might-trigger-t1d XX Insulet announces the Omnipod® 5 App for iPhone is now compatible with the Dexcom G7. Eric Benjamin, Insulet Executive Vice President, Chief Product and Customer Experience Officer. “With the addition of the Dexcom G7 sensor to the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone, our U.S. customers have more choice with fewer devices to keep track of, making it easier than ever to manage their diabetes.” The Omnipod 5 App with Dexcom G7 and Dexcom G6 compatibility is now available for download on the Apple App Store. Switching to a new Omnipod 5 device will require you to go through First Time Setup again. Insulin delivery history from previous Pods will be lost when you switch to your new device and adaptivity will start over. Use this guide and video to help transfer your settings: Omnipod also announced a collaboration with Marvel.. on an original comic to celebrate representation for the diabetes community and empower people with diabetes to unleash their inner hero. “Dyasonic: Sound of Strength” features Omnya, who was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, struggles with her management, and is prescribed an insulin pump. Omnya learns that when her glucose levels are in range she can take on anything, and anyone, and transforms into the comic's hero, Dyasonic! The hope is that readers will be able to see themselves overcoming these same challenges and break mental barriers to adopting technology with the potential for improved outcomes and quality of life. D'Spayre is a Marvel villain who preys on victims who are in despair, using their fear to strengthen himself—akin to the negative emotions that can come with diabetes. Insulet remains dedicated to advancing diabetes technology and improving the lives of people with diabetes. For more information, please visit https://www.omnipod.com/innovation. XX Tandem is the latest partner for Abbot's future Glucose-Ketone Sensor. New agreement to develop and commercialize integrated diabetes solutions that combine Abbott's future dual glucose-ketone sensor with Tandem's innovative insulin delivery systems to provide more options for people to manage their diabetes. The Abbott sensor, currently under development, will combine glucose and ketone sensing technology that aims to help people living with diabetes detect early ketone rise to avoid life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis. Sequel Med Tech is also partnering with Abbott on this, as part of the twist pump, launching later this year. https://www.stocktitan.net/news/TNDM/tandem-diabetes-care-announces-agreement-with-abbott-for-integration-xl1vug3c0axy.html XX New guidelines for the management of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes include tools clinicians can use to help patients stick to lifestyle interventions. A panel of practitioners working in lifestyle medicine, including primary care physicians, cardiologists, endocrinologists, sleep experts, dietitians, and exercise medicine specialists, laid out six areas clinicians should help patients manage. These include sleep and stress, nutrition, physical activity, tobacco and alcohol, and social connection. The guidelines, released on June 10 by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), largely mirror lifestyle guidelines by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) but add specifics about how clinicians can help patients achieve their goals. Each patient should still receive tailored counseling, which may include medication https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/new-guidelines-shift-diabetes-care-toward-behavior-2025a1000fht XX Microplastics from a widely used biodegradable material can enter the metabolic cycle of bacteria and cells in the gut after being ingested, a new study has found. Researchers in China and the United States said the microplastics – from polylactic acid – were found to alter the gut metabolism and damage the gut barrier of mice. They said this could potentially contribute to conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and diabetes. In recent years, microplastics have been found in human lungs, kidneys, blood, placenta and breast milk. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3313412/microplastics-biodegradable-material-may-be-linked-diabetes-study-finds XX Over 19,000 cases of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar are being recalled after the cans were found to contain full-sugar soda, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced. The voluntary recall, initiated May 23, affects 12-pack and 24-pack cases of the 12-ounce aluminum cans that are labeled “Dr Pepper Zero Sugar.” Despite the label, the drinks inside contain the same amount of sugar found in regular Dr Pepper — about 39 grams per can — posing a health risk for people with diabetes or anyone needing to limit sugar intake. On Thursday, June 5, the FDA officially classified the recall as Class II, meaning the product “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences." DR PEPPER ZERO SUGAR - 12 OZ, 12 PK DR PEPPER ZERO SUGAR - 12 OZ, 12 PK. Amazon Consumers can identify the recalled cases by the product code, which is listed as XXXXRS05165, and the "best by" date of Feb. 16, 2026 No other Dr Pepper products or batches of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar are part of the recall. https://people.com/dr-pepper-recall-sugar-found-in-zero-sugar-cans-11750981 XX A step forward for a device that uses breath to gather information about blood sugar. It's called Isaac, the company is PreEvnt, you wear it on a lanyard and breathe into it. The breathalyzer technology was developed in collaboration with the Integrated Nanosystems Development Institute at IU Indianapolis, and was inspired by diabetes alert dogs. "Our lab was able to successfully identify the specific molecules in breath that correlate with hypoglycemia, which is the 'scent' that diabetic alert dogs can detect," said Mangilal Agarwal, director of the Integrated Nanosystems Development Institute and a professor in the IU Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering at IU Indianapolis. Agarwal's lab is partnering with the IU School of Medicine to test and validate the effectiveness of the device in individuals with diabetes—an important next step on the path to wider commercialization. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-06-breathalyzer-device-diabetes.html#google_vignette XX Katie Bone is back on American Ninja Warrior! The youngest ever American Ninja Warrior Women's National winner, she injured her knee at Olympic Climbing Trials in 2023. This week, she was back on the show. She says: Katie Bone: It was incredible. I've not been able to compete for a few years, so getting to come back and hit a buzzer on my first chance back on the course felt really, really incredible; Very rewarding after everything I had to go through to get back there.

In this episode of the How To Carnivore podcast, I sit down with Dane Johnson, founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, to explore his incredible journey from near-death at age 27 to thriving by taking ownership of his healing process. Dane shares how he went from debilitating IBD symptoms and heavy medication use to building a global movement focused on natural recovery from Crohn's and colitis. We dive into the mindset shift required to heal chronic illness realising that no doctor can do it for you. Instead, you must become the CEO of your own health. We discuss: - Dane's powerful story of overcoming Crohn's - Why healing starts with taking radical responsibility - Practical tools like hyperbaric therapy, saunas, lymphatic drainage & targeted nutrition - How to visualise your recovery and feed your mind solution-oriented content - Our shared values of root-cause healing, lifestyle optimization, and self-experimentation While Dane isn't strictly carnivore (he's meat-based and follows what works for him), we align on the core principles of healing from the inside out. This conversation offers powerful insights especially for anyone facing chronic illness or seeking to reclaim control over their health journey.
In this episode of the RCP Medicine podcast, Professor Ailsa Hart and Dr Eathar Shakweh discuss how to approach managing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in the acute medical setting. This is the first episode of a 2-part series, with a focus on ulcerative colitis. IBD is a common condition, affecting 1 in 123 people in the UK. The 2024 State of the IBD Care in the UK report highlighted the urgent need to shorten time to diagnosis and initiate early treatment to minimise the risk of IBD-related complications. Acute and general medicine physicians have an important role to play in diagnosing and managing IBD. This podcast will equip medics at all stages of training with the necessary knowledge to approach this heterogenous and complex condition. Professor Hart is Director of IBD Research at St Mark's Hospital, London, United Kingdom and a world-leading expert in IBD.

In this eye-opening episode we are talking about the gut issues nobody wants to talk about—IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). For millions of women, chronic bloating, pain, and unpredictable digestion have become their “normal”—but it doesn't have to be that way. I'm joined by Dietitian Ashley Hurst, founder of Crohn's & Colitis Dietitians, a gut health expert who is on a mission to bring awareness to the root causes of chronic gut inflammation, including stress, food sensitivities, trauma, and even immune dysfunction. Together, we unpack why these conditions are often misunderstood or dismissed—and what real healing can look like. These issues are so commonly paired with a thyroid condition. If you've ever been told “everything looks normal” but your body says otherwise, this episode is for you.
After a debilitating health condition developed in his thirties, Brian Bentow went on a journey of healing his body with food and nutrition instead of the medications that his doctor recommended for Crohn's disease. After following the autoimmune diet protocol for several weeks, without 'cheat days', Brian was able to heal many of the symptoms and helped restore some function to his life. With his deep dive into health and nutrition, and background in business, Brian developed a line of allergy-friendly sauces to help others add flavour and taste to their meals. Today, we have a lively interview with Brian Bentow about his story of the development of "Get Saucy".Website: https://getsaucy.com/pages/our-storyAmazon: Amazon.com: Get Saucy Enjoying the show?

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dane Johnson — Founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle and the visionary behind the S.H.I.E.L.D. program — to unpack the real-life strategies that helped him reclaim his health after a near-death battle with Crohn's disease. With authenticity and purpose, Dane shares how he turned suffering into strength, leveraging natural medicine, functional nutrition, and integrative therapies to not just survive IBD — but thrive. His S.H.I.E.L.D. framework (Supplements, Herbs, Imagination, Exercise, Lifestyle, Diet) is a testament to personalized, root-cause healing that's both sustainable and empowering. Together, we explore the complex terrain of IBD: From genetic predispositions to microbiome dysregulation The impact of chronic stress and environmental toxins The gut-brain-liver axis and the underrated role of the vagus nerve Why standard labs often fall short and how functional testing can guide recovery And most importantly, why healing requires a mindset shift — not just a meal plan. Whether you're a clinician, patient, or simply someone looking to understand chronic gut conditions through a functional lens — this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and practical tools for real transformation. Key Takeaways: Functional Medicine Approach: Dane Johnson emphasizes the importance of understanding root causes such as microbiome imbalance and environmental factors in managing IBD. The SHIELD Program: A comprehensive lifestyle and dietary program designed to empower individuals to reclaim their health by being the 'CEO' of their wellness journey. Microbiome and Inflammation: How an overgrowth of harmful bacteria and fungal species can lead to chronic inflammation and exacerbate IBD symptoms. Vagus Nerve Stimulation: The critical role of the vagus nerve in maintaining digestive health and how it can influence the body's inflammatory response. Personal Health Advocacy: Encouragement to take charge of one's health by integrating knowledge, dietary changes, and functional testing to identify and address individual health needs. More About Dane Johnson: Dane Johnson is a holistic health practitioner and founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle focuses on the root-cause approach to healing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Drawing from his own near-death experience, Dane shares the pivotal realizations that led him away from conventional symptom management and toward lasting remission through his SHIELD Protocol. Listeners will discover how chronic gut inflammation, immune dysregulation, and emotional trauma all contribute to IBD and why a one-size-fits-all medical model often falls short. Dane unpacks the six pillars of his healing method, explains why personalized strategies are essential, and empowers practitioners and patients to embrace a new paradigm of gut healing: one rooted in functional medicine, lifestyle transformation, and real-world results. Whether you're a clinician seeking better outcomes or someone living with IBD, this conversation offers practical insights and powerful hope for lasting change.

Dane Johnson, board certified nutritionist and the founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, a company dedicated to helping people with IBD achieve deep healing through a blend of holistic nutrition, targeted supplementation, and personalized guidance. Dane started showing signs of IBD at the age of 19 when he noticed some blood in his stool and at 23 years old he couldn't ignore his symptoms any longer. After several years of going to various doctors and spending thousands of dollars trying to get treatment, Dane learned that he needed to be his biggest advocate and listen to his body. Once Dane started taking control of his own health he came up with a strategy for taking his health back. In this episode of Conversations For Health, Dane and I discuss practitioner tactics for battling inflammatory bowel disease including Crohn's and colitis, microscopic colitis, and proctitis. We examine the correlation between chronic reactivating viruses and exposure to fungal, common findings in keystone species and pathogenic bacteria, and first steps in clinically addressing IBD and IBS, including probiotics and issuing patients low-risk, high-reward challenges. Dane highlights some of the Designs for Health supplements that can help clients see results. He generously shares some of the key business strategies that have expanded his business to a global reach with an 80% success and retention rate.

Send us a textAmanda Phillips never imagined her lifelong battle with Crohn's disease would transform into a business helping other people living with chronic illnesses. But after decades of unexplained stomach pains, missed diagnoses, and learning to navigate life with IBD, that's exactly what happened.Amanda takes us through her journey from childhood stomach aches dismissed as "just constipation" to her eventual diagnosis at 17. We explore how she learned to identify her personal flare triggers—stress and GI bugs being the major culprits—and the profound anxiety this created around situations most people take for granted, like commuting to work or being around sick family members.The pandemic became an unexpected turning point in Amanda's health journey. Working remotely eliminated the bathroom-related stress of her daily commute. When her company pushed employees back to the office, Amanda fought for accommodations, facing frustrating resistance from HR despite documentation showing remote work improved her health and performance.The birth of Be Well came during a February 2022 hospitalization, when Amanda found herself freezing in a standard hospital gown. Looking around at the medical wear available, she thought, "I can do better than this." What makes Amanda's approach unique is her commitment to meaningful design. Every Be Well product—from symptom tracking journals to discreet pill holders to comfort items with inspirational quotes—comes from lived experience and continuous customer feedback with a focus on prioritizing patient comfort, dignity, and practicality. Now she's expanding into new territory with hospital gowns, non-metal MRI hoodies, and more innovations.

Roughly 133 million people in the U.S. struggle with chronic illnesses every day, and yet they're rarely talked about. Struggling with a chronic illness can oftentimes feel isolating when the pain endured is invisible, or when it feels impossible to explain what it's like to live in constant fear that severe pain could be on the horizon. For Tina Medlin, who's been living with Crohn's disease for roughly 30 years, she knew these feelings well. But instead of just accepting them as the norm, she set out to create a community where those with chronic illnesses feel supported, cared for, and heard. Tina discusses how this mission led her to pioneer the Warrior Braids Ministry, a Christ-centered nonprofit that offers resources, support and community to those who live with chronic illnesses.

Send us a textIn this powerful episode, I sit down with Dane Johnson—holistic nutritionist and founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle—to unpack his journey of reversing life-threatening Crohn's disease using natural, integrative therapies. After multiple hospitalisations, failed medications, and being told he had few options left, Dane made the radical decision to take charge of his own recovery. What followed was years of experimentation, research, and ultimately the development of the S.H.I.E.L.D. method—his signature approach to managing and reversing IBD.We explore the tools and therapies that helped Dane regain his health, including targeted supplements, herbal protocols, mindset work, and key dietary shifts. We also touch on the emotional toll of chronic illness, what it's like to challenge conventional narratives around disease, and how to rebuild hope when your body feels like it's failing you.If you or someone you love is navigating Crohn's, colitis, or another chronic gut condition, this conversation is both eye-opening and deeply encouraging. It's a reminder that with the right strategy and support, recovery is possible—even when it seems out of reach.Connect with Dane Johnson

This week on HappyCast, the spotlight is on cohost Stephanie, who just completed one of the Southeast's most brutal ultramarathons: the Cruel Jewel 100. Alongside fellow runners Drew Flowers and Mike Coutu, the trio takes us deep into the Georgia mountains and even deeper into the pain cave, reliving the highs, lows, and everything in between. With 105 punishing miles and over 33,000 feet of climbing, this race tested not only their legs but their sanity. Stephanie finished in an impressive 41 hours and 25 minutes, and Drew and Mike crossed the line together at 44:18—and yes, she lets them know who finished first.From forgotten trekking poles to mid-race trail therapy sessions, the stories fly fast in this post-race debrief. Stephanie talks about running on stair machines and spite, Drew recounts pulling a hamstring in a kids' street race, and Mike details what it's like to deal with Crohn's while trying not to DNF. We get the scoop on hallucinations, aid station carnage, trail naps, revenge runs, mystery runners named “Hugh Jace,” and a certain bear that ate a car door. Spoiler: everyone gets poison ivy, except Mike.Whether you're an ultrarunning junkie or just here for the chaos, this episode is full of humor, heart, and hard-earned miles. It's a celebration of resilience, community, and the weird, wild stuff that only happens when you spend two days running through the woods. And yes—Stephanie beat the boys. Let's talk about it.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

Some of us will get long-term illnesses and others will not, but we will all face illness and suffering of some sort. It is helpful to remember that though God allows our fallen world to continue, He is not the author of anything evil. Rather, He is the Author of everything good. We can trust that He will carry us through all our earthly days. - Vivian Bricker In today’s episode of Your Daily Prayer, Vivian Bricker offers an honest and heartfelt reflection on walking with God through the ongoing struggles of long-term illness. Sharing from her personal journey with Crohn’s disease and other health challenges, Vivian reminds us that even in suffering, God’s presence is a source of daily strength, hope, and healing. Topics covered: Chronic illness and daily faith Finding God’s strength in weakness Recognizing unexpected blessings Living with hope in suffering God’s comfort for the sick Scripture References Psalm 41:3 “The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.”
