Send us Fan MailFive years post J-pouch surgery sounds like a finish line, but our bodies do not read the brochure. We're together in person for a live catch-up with our favorite recurring guest and IBD Registered Dietitian, Stacey Collins, and we get real about what changes with time and what still blindsides you when you live with a J-Pouch after IBD.We talk through the wins that matter most day to day: more capacity, less urgency, and the quiet joy of doing normal things without panic, like waiting in line, taking long road trips, hiking, skiing, and traveling. Then we dig into the stuff patients whisper about but rarely get warned about, especially gas pain. We break down what it feels like, why it can block emptying, what actually helps (yes, including “toilet yoga”), and why travel, altitude, fasting, dehydration, carbonation, and food additives can make symptoms spike.We also cover the scary gray zones: when symptoms feel like a Crohn's flare but turn out to be SIBO, why antibiotics may be part of J-pouch life, and how to rebuild the gut microbiome afterward with food you can tolerate. Finally, we get blunt about the “surgery is curative” myth, the need for ongoing monitoring (iron deficiency anemia, B12, folate, fatigue), and what better post-op care should look like, including pelvic floor physical therapy and honest expectations at 3, 6, and 12 months.If you found this helpful, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review.

Told donor eggs after failed IVF? There is a category of testing that your fertility clinic does not run. We rarely run a stool test and find nothing. The IVF cycle did not work. Maybe it was poor response. Maybe it was canceled before retrieval. Maybe you got embryos and they arrested. Maybe the transfer failed. Your clinic looked at your numbers and told you donor eggs. In this episode, Sarah Clark walks through the gut pattern the Fab Fertile team sees in women who come to us after failed IVF with a donor egg recommendation, and why this pattern changes the picture before the next decision. What this episode covers: H. pylori. One of the most common findings in the women who come to us after failed IVF. It impairs absorption of iron, vitamin B12, and zinc, the nutrients that affect egg quality, thyroid function, and hormone production. It is passed back and forth between partners through saliva. If you have it, there is a strong chance your partner has it too. Parasites, giardia, blastocystis. Common findings. Rarely tested at the fertility clinic. Bacterial overgrowth, including streptococcus. Fungal overgrowth and dysbiosis. The reason chasing an anti-candida diet without testing moves you in circles. Elevated calprotectin. A signal of gut inflammation, often present in women with IBD, Crohn's, colitis, and women with no formal diagnosis. Elevated zonulin. A marker of intestinal permeability. The pattern we see after rounds of antibiotics, sinus infections, UTIs, birth control, and high stress. Why this matters before a donor egg decision: H. pylori impairs iron absorption. Ferritin reads low or low-normal. The clinic says iron is fine because the lab range starts around 15. The fertility-optimized range is closer to 50. Iron is foundational to egg quality. The oxygen carrying capacity to your follicles depends on it. B12 affects methylation, the process your body uses to produce the co-factors needed for egg maturation. Zinc affects ovulation and progesterone production. Chronic gut inflammation affects ovarian response to stimulation, implantation, and miscarriage risk. When your clinic looks at a canceled cycle, arrested embryos, or a failed transfer and recommends donor eggs, they are responding to the outcome. They are not asking what is driving the outcome. This episode is for the woman sitting with a donor egg recommendation who is not ready to agree before she understands what was actually evaluated.

Are you stuck in a cycle of inflammation with no clear answers? Autoimmune conditions can be confusing, frustrating, slow to diagnose, and sometimes take years to understand. In this episode, I am chatting with Mickey Trescott, a leading expert on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), about her decade of research and personal experience managing autoimmune disease. We talk about the modified AIP, exploring why it isn't just a diet but a structured healing process. Mickey also shares insights from clinical studies on IBD, Hashimoto's, and psoriasis, and explains how elimination and reintroduction phases help people discover their personal triggers. You'll learn how to approach food as medicine, adapt the protocol to your lifestyle, and reintroduce foods safely. Plus, Mickey offers simple tips to help you calm inflammation, restore gut balance, and finally feel empowered in your autoimmune journey. "There is no cure for autoimmune disease, but I really believe that we can manage and live well with it." ~ Mickey Trescott In This Episode: - How AIP differs from traditional elimination diets - The real goal of the AIP diet - Clinical results from AIP studies - Modified vs core autoimmune protocol - Food sensitivity testing explained - Delayed reactions and cross-reactivity - Mickey's autoimmune flare story - The New Autoimmune Protocol book overview Products & Resources Mentioned: Mickey's Books on Autoimmune Wellness: Pre-order The New Autoimmune Protocol book and buy other books on Autoimmune Protocol at https://theautoimmuneprotocol.com/books/#naip Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at http://trytruenergy.com/wendy5 Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Puori Grass-Fed PW1 Whey Protein: Use code WENDY20 to save up to 32% off your order and a free shaker worth $25 at https://puori.com/wendy20 Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body at https://heavymetalsquiz.com About Mickey Trescott: Mickey Trescott, MSc, is a leading advocate of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).

Part 3 of the Women's Health SeriesBloating, gas, urgency, abdominal pain, and that relentless “what if something happens?” loop can turn sex from a close connection into stress fast. Digestive symptoms can quietly impact some of the most vulnerable parts of our lives...including intimacy, relationships, and self-esteem. And often, the shame surrounding those experiences feels heavier than the symptoms themselves. If you've ever pulled away from connection because your gut felt unpredictable, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we're opening up an honest and empowering discussion about gut health, confidence, and reclaiming intimacy without fear or embarrassment.We dive into this topic with our expert guest, Dr. Alyse Bedell, GI psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist, covering: • Why digestive functions feel taboo in sexual relationships • How IBS and IBD symptoms can impact desire, relaxation, and satisfaction • Myth-busting the idea that sex must be spontaneous to be pleasurable • Scripts and “reset” strategies for handling symptoms in the moment • Redefining intimacy so closeness does not always imply intercourse • Flexible planning around meals, energy, triggers, and symptom patterns • Partner support that reassures without becoming patronizing • The circular sexual response cycle and starting from sexual neutrality • Rebuilding sexual self-esteem with stigma work and acting with "as if” confidence This episode has been sponsored by Ardelyx.

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. Laurie Sehn interviews Drs. Reuben Kapur and Robert Campbell on their latest articles published in Blood. This episode highlights two groundbreaking studies exploring how inflammation drives serious blood and immune-related diseases. In the first interview, Dr. Kapur discusses how inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can both promote and worsen clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), with large-scale human data and mouse models identifying REF1 as a key mediator and potential therapeutic target. The second segment features Dr. Campbell, who explains how heme released during malaria infection activates platelet mTOR signaling, intensifying cerebral malaria and suggesting new avenues for platelet-targeted treatments. Together, the conversations reveal how inflammatory pathways and immune signaling contribute to disease progression while opening the door to novel precision therapies.
In this video, Dr. Ruscio discusses 8 benefits of taking butyrate, a fat molecule with gut and systemic healing properties. Butyrate is produced by gut bacteria, but it is often low in different chronic health conditions. Supplementation has been shown to improve a variety of gut conditions, including IBS, IBD, and SIBO, as well as chronic inflammation and brain health. Doctor Ruscio also discusses some simple dietary strategies to increase butyrate production naturally. ✅ Start healing with us!

Send us Fan MailThe word “surgery” can feel like a threat when you're young and already worn down by Crohn's disease. Michael Morgan, author of *The Secret Life of Crohn's*, joins us to talk about being diagnosed at age 10, cycling through medications, and living with the kind of urgency that forces you to plan every minute around toilets, school schedules, and the fear of being noticed. We get into the part people don't always see: the constant anxiety, the shrinking world, and how much mental energy IBD can steal long before anyone calls it mental health.Michael also shares what it was like to hear ostomy surgery discussed as a teenager, the misconceptions that fueled his fear, and the moment he realized life on the other side could be bigger than the life he was trying to protect. We talk about the adjustment period, confidence building, and why so many people with ostomies describe freedom and relief once their disease is under better control.From there, we dig into practical realities: asking schools for accommodations, using tools that make bathroom access easier, staying on top of Crohn's management even after major surgery, and navigating rare symptoms like inflammatory disease in the mouth. And yes, we go deep on travel with an ostomy, including packing supplies, hostel bathrooms, and the small “tricks” that make big adventures possible.If you're facing a big treatment decision, supporting a child with IBD, or trying to make your world bigger again, this conversation will meet you where you are.

In this episode, I'm joined by Jessica Salwen-Deremer, Director of Behavioral Medicine for Digestive Health at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and Associate Professor at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. Dr Salwen-Deremer specialises in the intersection of sleep, gut health, and gastrointestinal behavioural medicine, with a particular focus on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this episode, we explore the powerful and often overlooked relationship between sleep and the gut — including how poor sleep can worsen pain, fatigue, and inflammation, and how gut symptoms can in turn disrupt sleep. We unpack the bidirectional nature of this relationship, the role of the gut microbiome and circadian rhythms, and why sleep should be considered a core part of managing conditions like IBD and IBS. We also discuss how to recognise and assess sleep problems in clinical practice, the difference between insomnia and symptom-driven sleep disruption, and why treatments like cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) can be so effective. Whether you're a clinician or someone living with gut symptoms, this episode highlights why sleep is not just a side issue — it's central to gut health and overall wellbeing. Please enjoy my conversation with Dr Jessica Salwen-Deremer.
Part 2 of the Women's Health SeriesYour digestion suddenly feels different, your sleep is falling apart, your mood and patience are all over the place — and you start wondering whether it's stress, aging, or something bigger. Joined by two extraordinary Mayo Clinic experts, Drs. Chrisandra Shufelt and Jami Kinnucan, we pull back the curtain on perimenopause and menopause, explaining how shifting estrogen and progesterone can ripple through the entire body — from constipation and bloating to metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, and even the gut microbiome. Most importantly, this episode reminds women that these changes are real, common, and worthy of attention. • Defining perimenopause versus menopause as a life stage and why symptoms vary so much • Linking estrogen and progesterone changes to motility, constipation, bloating, and visceral sensitivity • Discussing microbiome shifts, dysbiosis, and how gut health may influence estrogen recycling • Outlining cardiometabolic changes including central weight gain, lipid changes, blood pressure, and insulin resistance • Clarifying brain fog, sleep disruption, and increased anxiety and depression risk during perimenopause • Reviewing SSRIs and SNRIs as options that may also reduce hot flashes • Covering bone loss timing, hormone therapy limits, and when DEXA scanning makes sense • Summarizing what is known about IBS symptom severity and what is less clear in IBD • Debunking hormone panels in perimenopause and pointing to menopause-trained clinicians • Breaking down soy, supplements, placebo effects, and lifestyle factors like weight loss and exercise snacks • Detailing vaginal estrogen for dryness, painful sex, and recurrent UTIs, including how to use it correctly This episode has been sponsored by Ardelyx.References for this episode:The 2022 hormone therapy position statement of The North American Menopause SocietyThe association between metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease diagnosis and vasomotor symptoms in midlife womenImpact of Menopause and Clinical Considerations in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel DiseaseUnderstanding the sexual concerns of older women presenting for care to women's health clinics: a cross-sectional studyFind a Menopause Practitioner: Menopause.orgLearn more about Kate and Dr. Riehl:Website: www.katescarlata.com and www.drriehl.comInstagram: @katescarlata @drriehl and @theguthealthpodcastOrder Kate and Dr. Riehl's book, Mind Your Gut: The Science-Based, Whole-body Guide to Living Well with IBS.

On this week's episode, Josh Schimmer, Paul Matteis, Eric Schmidt, Yaron Werber, and special guest STAT's Allison DeAngelis open with what they describe as “a bananas week for biotech,” highlighting strong substantial secondary offerings, including Cytokinetics and Avalo Therapeutics. The conversation then turns to M&A, with multiple new deals announced in Q1 and continued activity this week, including UCB's acquisition of Candid Therapeutics for up to $2.2B, Angelini's $4.1B purchase of Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, and Bayer's acquisition of Perfuse for up to $2.45B. The group also reflects on what feels like the year of developmental-stage biotech, highlighting investor focus on companies with pipeline events such as Vertex and Biogen, while commercial-stage companies have lagged. In regulatory news, the co-hosts discuss Sanofi's decision to withdraw diabetes drug, teplizumab, from the Commissioner's National Priority Review program, broader concerns about shifting goalposts and political influence, and contradicting outcomes including Replimune's rejection versus Atara's reversal. On the data front, the hosts discuss Cytokinetics' Phase 3 results and subsequent $650M raise, as well as encouraging autoimmune data from Artiva Biotherapeutics. They also overview neurofilament as a biomarker following Clene's data, and J&J's decision to advance its DUET program despite failing to meet its primary endpoint in IBD. *This episode aired on May 8, 2026.

In this episode of Life Without Leaks, we speak with Dr. Ryan O'Leary, advanced fellow in inflammatory bowel disease, about one of the most disruptive - and misunderstood - GI symptoms: bowel urgency.Dr. O'Leary breaks down the difference between IBD and IBS, explaining how Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis differ from non-inflammatory bowel conditions, and why some patients can actually have both. He dives into what bowel urgency really is, what's happening physiologically in the body and why it can significantly impact sleep, work and quality of life.The conversation explores how urgency can stem from multiple causes, from inflammation to medications to underlying medical conditions, and emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis. Dr. O'Leary also highlights the encouraging reality that modern treatments for IBD are highly effective, allowing many patients to return to full, active lives.If you've ever wondered whether your symptoms are “normal” or worth bringing up to your doctor, this episode offers clarity, reassurance and practical next steps.Learn more about a wide range of bowel conditions and get free resources here.

Send us Fan MailMedical care can be doing everything “right” and you can still feel wrecked, anxious, and trapped in a never-ending cycle of symptoms, appointments, and fear. That gap is where GI psychology lives, and it's why we wanted Dr. Anna Katherine “AK” Black. AK is a licensed clinical health psychologist at GI Psychology, with a focus on gut-brain therapies, trauma-informed care, and medical fatigue in chronic illness.We get into what clinical hypnosis actually is (no stage tricks, no mind control) and why gut-directed hypnotherapy has decades of research behind it for GI conditions. AK explains the gut-brain connection in plain language, including how stress can hijack the system, how visceral hypersensitivity turns the volume up on sensations, and why you can't just tell your gut to “calm down” with conscious thoughts alone. We also talk about how fear and pain overlap, and why techniques that shift the nervous system toward parasympathetic regulation can change real physical symptoms.Then we name the thing so many people feel but rarely hear described: medical fatigue. If you've ever canceled yet another appointment, struggled to keep up with meds and procedures, or felt judged as “noncompliant,” this conversation puts words to that burnout and offers practical next steps. We also cover trauma-informed care, what providers can do with better language and screening, and why integrated teams work best. AK shares resources and explains the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation partnership group that combines community with skills like CBT and hypnosis.Subscribe for more real talk about living with IBD, share this with someone who needs it, and please leave a rating and review so more people can find the show.

In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, Dr. Mary O'Connor speaks with Stephanie A. Wynn—author, Crohn's survivor, and founder of The Stephanie A. Wynn Foundation. Stephanie shares her powerful journey through years of misdiagnosis, medical dismissal, pregnancy loss, and a near‑death experience that ultimately shaped her mission to support underserved IBD patients. She breaks down the barriers many patients face when navigating Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and explains how her IBD Patient Navigator® Program helps individuals access specialists, understand their diagnosis, reduce ER visits, and overcome social determinants of health. You'll hear insights on: • The impact of delayed diagnosis and clinical bias • The difference between IBS and IBD • Why community health workers are essential to IBD care • How journaling and documentation strengthen patient advocacy • Expanding navigator programs into rural and underserved communities This conversation is a must‑listen for anyone working in gastroenterology, community health, patient navigation, or health equity.
IBS or IBD? What’s the difference & how do you test? You’ve been told it’s IBS. Maybe you’ve had tests done. Maybe you’ve even had a colonoscopy that came back “clear.” And then… you’re sent home and told to manage it. But if you’re still dealing with bloating, urgency, diarrhea, constipation, or pain — and no one has properly explained what’s going on — something isn’t adding up. Because IBS and IBD get confused all the time. And when that happens, women either get over-medicalised… or completely dismissed. Same symptoms. Completely different problems. And that’s where things start to fall apart. Because here’s the reality. The symptoms overlap — cramping, bloating, bowel changes, food reactions, fatigue. So it’s easy to assume it’s “just IBS,” especially when nothing serious shows up on initial testing. But let’s be clear. IBS is not a diagnosis.IBD is. One is a structural, inflammatory disease. The other is a label for symptoms when no one has found the cause. Big difference. Today’s episode breaks down what IBS actually means, what IBD actually is, why they get confused, and what testing should be done if you actually want answers — not just another label. In this episode, we cover: IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease): What conditions like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis actually involve, how inflammation damages the gut lining, and why proper diagnosis requires colonoscopy and biopsy. Key Inflammatory Markers: How tools like faecal calprotectin, CRP, ESR, and blood markers help identify inflammation and distinguish IBD from IBS. The IBS Label Problem: Why IBS tells you what is happening — your gut is irritated — but tells you nothing about why. What Gets Missed in Standard Testing: Why colonoscopies don’t show bacterial overgrowth, parasites, stomach acid issues, or microbiome imbalances. SIBO and IMO: How bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine drives bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhoea — and why it requires specific breath testing. Parasites and H. pylori: Why these are more common than you think, often missed, and can quietly drive chronic gut symptoms. Dysbiosis and the Microbiome: How imbalances in your gut bacteria affect digestion, immunity, and overall health — and why you need proper mapping to see it. What to Test Next: The functional tests that actually give you answers — not guesses. You’re not confused because this is complicated. You’re confused because the explanation you were given was incomplete. You don’t need to keep guessing whether it’s IBS or something more serious. You need to understand what has been ruled out — and what hasn’t even been looked at yet. Your symptoms are not random. This isn’t “just your gut being sensitive.” And it’s not something you have to manage forever. Your gut isn’t broken. It just hasn’t been properly investigated.

The Perfect Stool Understanding and Healing the Gut Microbiome
What if the key to brain health, immunity and chronic disease isn't in the brain at all - but in the gut? In this episode, we explore human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), powerful bioactive sugars in breast milk that shape the microbiome, regulate immune function and may influence conditions like Parkinson's, autism, IBD, food allergies, eczema and more. We dive into how these "molecular signals from nature" could redefine how we think about inflammation, development and disease with Alex Martinez. Lindsey Parsons, your host, helps clients solve gut issues and reverse autoimmune disease naturally. Take her quiz to see which stool or functional medicine test will help you find out what's wrong.

Today, we're diving into autoimmunity—what it actually is, why it happens, and how ultra-processed foods may be contributing to the problem. Autoimmune disease is often misunderstood. Some will tell you diet has nothing to do with it. Others claim diet is the cure. The truth is more nuanced—and that's exactly what we explore in this episode. You'll learn: What autoimmunity really is (and why it's a case of mistaken identity) How inflammation and the immune system interact The critical role of gut health and the microbiome How ultra-processed foods disrupt intestinal integrity and immune signaling Why stress and hyper-palatable foods create a harmful cycle A practical experiment you can try to see how diet impacts your own biomarkers This isn't about selling supplements or pushing extremes. It's about understanding the science so you can make informed decisions about your health. As always, this episode is backed by scientific literature. Full citations are included below, with abbreviated versions available on shorter clips. If you're dealing with autoimmune symptoms—or just want to better understand how food impacts your immune system—this episode is for you. Full citation list: Hall KD, et al. “Ultra-Processed Diets Cause Excess Calorie Intake and Weight Gain: An Inpatient Randomized Controlled Trial of Ad Libitum Food Intake.” Cell Metabolism, 2019. Supports the formulation argument: UPF intake increased spontaneous calorie intake and weight gain even with diets matched for presented calories, sugar, fiber, sodium, and macronutrients. This is your anchor for “hyper-palatability and formulation change physiology, not just psychology.” Narula N, et al. “Association of Ultra-Processed Food Intake With Risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Prospective Cohort Study.” BMJ, 2021. Best human disease-level citation for the episode. Supports the claim that higher UPF intake is associated with greater IBD risk, making the gut-immune link clinically meaningful rather than purely theoretical. Chassaing B, et al. “Randomized Controlled-Feeding Study of Dietary Emulsifier Carboxymethylcellulose Reveals Detrimental Impacts on the Gut Microbiota and Metabolome.” Gastroenterology, 2022. Best emulsifier paper for human translation. Supports the claim that CMC can perturb the microbiota and metabolome and may contribute to barrier-hostile gut ecology in susceptible individuals. Daniel N, et al. “Human Intestinal Microbiome Determines Individualized Responses to Dietary Emulsifier Carboxymethylcellulose.” Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2024. Useful nuance paper. Supports the point that emulsifier sensitivity is not identical across all people and that host-microbiome context matters. Shil A, et al. “Artificial Sweeteners Disrupt Tight Junctions and Barrier Function in the Intestinal Epithelium Through Activation of the Sweet Taste Receptor T1R3.” Nutrients, 2020. Best citation for the “sugar-free does not mean barrier-neutral” point. Supports direct epithelial barrier effects of common artificial sweeteners in experimental models. Peng L, et al. “Butyrate Enhances the Intestinal Barrier by Facilitating Tight Junction Assembly via Activation of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase in Caco-2 Cell Monolayers.” Journal of Nutrition, 2009. Classic mechanistic citation for butyrate. Supports the claim that loss of fermentable fiber and reduced butyrate production can weaken barrier function. Kumar KP, et al. “The Interplay Between the Microbiota, Diet and T Regulatory Cells in Maintaining Intestinal Homeostasis.” Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023. Useful for the tolerance language. Supports the argument that diet and microbial metabolites shape Treg biology and mucosal tolerance. Haase S, et al. “Sodium Chloride Triggers Th17 Mediated Autoimmunity.” Frontiers in Immunology, 2019. Key citation for high salt and autoimmune-prone immune skewing. Supports the claim that excess salt can promote pathogenic Th17 biology relevant to autoimmune disease. Wilck N, et al. “Salt-Responsive Gut Commensal Modulates TH17 Axis and Disease.” Nature, 2017. Strong bridge between salt, microbiome, and Th17 signaling. Supports the point that salt is not just a blood pressure story; it is also an immune-story. Vitales-Noyola M, et al. “Analysis of Sodium Chloride Intake and Treg/Th17 Lymphocytes in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.” Journal of Immunology Research, 2018. Helpful human-facing citation for salt and immune skewing in autoimmune populations. Use cautiously, but it strengthens translation from theory to autoimmune terrain. Phuong-Nguyen K, et al. “Advanced Glycation End-Products and Their Effects on Gut Health.” Nutrients, 2023. Good review for the AGE section. Supports the argument that AGE-rich processed foods may worsen oxidative stress, microbiota balance, and barrier function. Chen Y, et al. “Dietary Advanced Glycation End-Products Elicit Toxicological Effects by Disrupting Gut Microbiota and Increasing Colon Permeability in Rats.” Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 2021. Useful mechanistic support for the processing-chemistry section. Reinforces the claim that dietary AGEs can alter microbial ecology and increase permeability. Monteiro CA, et al. “Ultra-Processed Foods: What They Are and How to Identify Them.” Public Health Nutrition, 2019. Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona. With over two decades of experience, he's helped thousands of patients navigate hormonal imbalances using bioidentical HRT, nutrition, and root-cause medicine. He's also taught and mentored other physicians on integrative approaches to hormone therapy, weight loss, fertility, and more.

IBD Drive Time: Colleen Kelly, MD, on Obesity and IBD by Gastroenterology Learning Network
In this episode of Life Without Leaks, we're joined by Dr. Maria Roell, internal medicine resident at the Medical University of South Carolina, about bowel urgency and the conditions that commonly cause it.Dr. Roell breaks down the often-confusing differences between IBS and IBD, explains what true medical bowel urgency feels like and outlines when symptoms may signal something more serious. She walks listeners through the diagnostic process - from detailed history and lab work to colonoscopy - and addresses common fears about testing.The conversation also explores treatment pathways, including lifestyle and dietary changes, medications such as steroids and biologics and when surgery may be considered. Importantly, Dr. Roell discusses the emotional toll urgency can take — from anxiety to social isolation - and the life-changing relief that proper diagnosis and treatment can bring.Her key message: bowel urgency is more common than people think, and it is treatable. If symptoms are affecting your quality of life, speak up.

Send us Fan MailA Crohn's diagnosis at eight can shrink a kid's world down to fatigue, fear, and the nearest bathroom. Nicole Thornton took that same reality and built something bigger: community, advocacy, and a blueprint for how young people with IBD can lead without pretending it's easy.We talk through Nicole's early health journey and the moment Camp Purple Live in New Zealand changed everything by giving her friends who truly understood Crohn's and colitis. From there, Nicole shares how she petitioned the New Zealand Parliament at just 12 years old to improve toilet access for people with inflammatory bowel disease and other urgent health needs, and how that effort evolved into the “I Can't Wait” campaign where businesses voluntarily welcome patients to use staff bathrooms. We also dig into the everyday stakes behind “bathroom access” and how stigma and public accidents can shape mental health, confidence, and relationships.Nicole also brings a global lens from her work with the International Federation of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Associations (IFCCA) youth group, including what she's learned about medication access, healthcare funding, and how different countries support young patients. Finally, we get into why she's studying nursing, how small acts of care can change someone's life, and what it takes to balance advocacy, school, work, and chronic illness without burning out.If you care about Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, chronic illness advocacy, bathroom accessibility, or patient leadership, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a rating and review so more people can find the show.Links: Camp Purple Live- Crohn's & Colitis New ZealandIFCCA- Youth GroupArticle on Nicole's NZ parliamentary effortsStory on CCNZ on Nicole's trip to Brussels Let's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!
#316 Chloe Turner has lived with Crohn's disease for 25 years. She's also a degree-qualified naturopath and clinical microbiome consultant at Microba — one of Australia's most advanced gut microbiome testing companies. In this conversation, she brings both worlds together: the science of what microbiome testing actually reveals in IBD, and the deeply human experience of living inside a body that can turn on you without warning. Chloe talks candidly about the psychological weight of waiting for the next flare, why clinical remission doesn't always mean your microbiome is safe, and how shotgun metagenomics testing is catching things that colonoscopies and blood tests simply miss — including stealth pathogens like EPEC quietly driving inflammation while everything else looks stable. In this episode, you'll discover: What gut microbiome testing reveals that conventional IBD workups cannot How EPEC and E. coli species silently fuel flares — and what to do about it Why clinical remission doesn't mean your microbiome is out of the danger zone How microbiome shifts can precede a flare before symptoms appear The emerging link between microbiome state and biologic medication response The psychological weight of the relapse-recovery cycle and how Chloe navigates it personally Why intuition and anxiety around food can look identical and how to tell them apart Practical dietary and supplement strategies used alongside conventional IBD care Why annual microbiome testing could be one of the most powerful tools for flare prevention What Chloe wishes she'd known 25 years ago If you're living with Crohn's, colitis, or any form of IBD, or you're a practitioner working in this space, this episode is for you.

Are you a financial advisor ready to evolve beyond traditional asset management? The Personal CFO model might be your next big move. Here's the reality: most business owners have 80–90% of their net worth tied up in their business, not investible assets. That means the traditional AUM model leaves them underserved and leaves advisors without a billing mechanism. The Personal CFO model solves both problems. In this episode of the Magellan Network Show, Coach Joe Lukacs breaks down the high-ticket retainer model that's transforming how elite financial advisors serve successful business owners and entrepreneurs. In this episode, you'll learn: ● What a Personal CFO actually does (and how it differs from a traditional financial advisor) ● Why business owners are desperate for a financial quarterback ● How to bill on EBITDA or retainer, even when clients have little investible assets ● Real client examples generating $2,000–$10,000+/month in retainer fees ● The "five Ds" framework every Personal CFO must master ● Why RIAs have a massive advantage in this space right now ● How to gather assets by offering lower fees than the competition ● The identity shift required to truly succeed in this model Whether you're an independent RIA or an IBD advisor, the Personal CFO niche is one of the fastest-growing opportunities in the financial advisory space, and the market is wide open.

Mindy Diamond on Independence: A Podcast for Financial Advisors Considering Change
With Ryan Guth, Founder, Goldfin Group Overview Jason Diamond speaks with Ryan Guth, Founder of Goldfin Group, on moving beyond Edward Jones to build a business defined by control, differentiation, and entrepreneurial alignment. It's a thoughtful conversation about independence, and what it really means to build a business that fits your clients, your strengths, and your long-term vision.

Neither Diamond Consultants nor the guests on this podcast are compensated in any way for their participation. Watch… https://youtu.be/SRQSjRbtRzY About this episode… Advisors usually don't set out seeking change. In fact, the opposite is usually true. They build within a system, take advantage of the opportunities in front of them, and grow something meaningful over time. And for a while, that alignment works. But over time, priorities evolve. What once felt like the right environment can start to feel limiting: whether it's how you serve clients, how you present yourself in the market, or how much control you really have over the direction of your business. And that's where things begin to shift. In this episode, Ryan Guth, Founder of Goldfin Group, talks through that evolution in a very real and practical way. Ryan started his career at Edward Jones – an experience he still speaks very highly of – but ultimately decided to go independent to build a business that better reflected how he wanted to serve his entrepreneurial clients and express his entrepreneurial instincts. What makes Ryan's perspective especially interesting is his background. Before wealth management, he was a musical conductor. And that lens carries through into how he thinks about the advisor's role today—not as someone focused on products or portfolios, but as the person coordinating all the moving parts of a client's financial life. Ryan unpacks it all with Jason Diamond, including: The decision to leave Edward Jones—and what he was looking to gain in independence. The importance of marketing—and how “differentiation” plays a major role in Goldfin's success. The inside view of a transition—and what other advisors can learn both operationally and strategically. The alignment of his values and mindset with those of his clients—and how being an entrepreneur became more important over time. The impact of acquisitions—and Ryan's firsthand perspective on the acquisition of his broker dealer, Atria. It's a thoughtful conversation about independence, but more importantly, it's about what it really means to build a business that fits your clients, your strengths, and your long-term vision.

Why Every Advisor Eventually Has to Choose As advisory firms grow, founders often face a critical inflection point: double down on being a top producer or evolve into a leader who builds lasting enterprise value. The Annual Report on Recruiting, Deals, and Transitions A companion to our annual Advisor Transition Report, Jason Diamond and Louis Diamond unpack what's driving advisor movement in 2025, and what the data reveals about control, growth, and where the industry is heading. IBD vs. RIA – Which Model Fits Your Future This guide offers a clear, side-by-side view of the two models—including distinctions between the DIY route of building an RIA from scratch and opting for a supportive independence platform to help align your business goals with greater options and opportunities. Diamond Consultants Edward Jones Advisor Transition Report 2025 This “firm-focused report” seeks to look under the hood at movement to and from Edward Jones from January to June of 2025. Have You Outgrown Your IBD or the Model Itself? Spending years inside the independent broker dealer framework can eventually spark a deeper reckoning. Advisors begin to look beyond the logo on the statement and ask a more fundamental question: does this structure still align with the future they're building, or has their business outgrown its foundation?

What happens when you go from a senior spring break in Jamaica to poopin "gallons of blood" in the ER? Meet Taryn: 20 years old, a D1 volleyball player for the University of Northern Iowa, and a total boss living with Ulcerative Colitis (UC). After a senior trip to Jamaica turned into a month-long nightmare of abdominal pain, internal bleeding, and a very wrong E. coli diagnosis, Taryn had to face a new reality: a chronic "sister disease" to Crohn's. In this episode, we get into the literal weeds of living with UC. Taryn talks about showing up to college workouts as a rookie looking "deceased," why her teammates thought she had a heart condition, and the awkward-turned-awesome moment she had to tell the whole team why she was actually dying on the floor. If you're living with IBD, supporting someone who is, or wondering whether you can still chase big goals with a chronic illness, this one's for you.You can watch this entire episode over on YouTube.Follow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord!

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky talks with returning guest Dr. Izabella Wentz about her new book, IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Drawing from both personal experience and clinical insight, Dr. Wentz explains why IBS is often more than just a stress-related diagnosis and how it can serve as an early warning sign of deeper imbalances, including thyroid autoimmunity.The conversation explores the difference between IBS and inflammatory bowel disease, why some people diagnosed with IBS may actually have celiac disease or IBD, and the many possible root causes behind chronic digestive symptoms. Dr. Wentz discusses food reactions, SIBO, parasites, H. pylori, medications, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid hormone imbalances, stress, and lifestyle factors that can all play a role in gut dysfunction. She also shares why testing matters, why symptom relief is not the same as true resolution, and why approaches like the low FODMAP diet may only be a short-term tool.This episode gives listeners a broader, more practical understanding of how gut issues connect with immune dysregulation and thyroid health.
