Today is World IBD Inflammatory Bowel Disease Day. World IBD Day takes place on the 19th of May each year and unites people worldwide in their fight against Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. There are approximately 40,000 people in Ireland living with inflammatory bowel disease or IBD. For more on this Alan Morrissey was joined by Sarah O'Connor, a Crusheen native who has been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease. Photo (c): Red Lion Group

On the phone-in today: Experts answer questions about inflammatory bowel disease or I-B-D. And off the top, we speak with Laurenne Schiller about the environmental impact of drifting fish aggregating devices which are used in the tuna fishing industry. Schiller is a postdoctoral researcher at Dalhousie University.

The world's largest-ever study into Inflammatory Bowel Disease has just been released, predicting cases here are set to double in the next 20 years. 

Send us a textWhat happens when your chronic illness becomes the catalyst for global exploration and environmental advocacy? This week we talk to Nicholas Mertens! Nick was diagnosed with Crohn's disease six years ago and he's turned his health journey into a platform for investigating how climate change impacts healthcare systems worldwide.While most college students rarely venture beyond their comfort zones, Nick has represented his university at United Nations climate conferences in Dubai and Azerbaijan, researched indigenous biodiversity in Australia, and traveled to eight countries across four continents—all while managing his Crohn's disease. The political science and environmental studies major shares his remarkable journey from diagnosis to long-term remission, revealing how these experiences shaped his understanding of global health challenges.The conversation takes fascinating turns as Nick details the practicalities of international travel with a chronic condition. From refrigerating Humira during 40-hour journeys to navigating customs with medication documentation, his strategies are invaluable for anyone with IBD considering travel. His culinary adventures prove equally enlightening—discovering his body tolerated exotic kangaroo meat perfectly while rejecting familiar McDonald's hamburgers in foreign countries. These unexpected reactions highlight the unpredictable nature of Crohn's and the importance of flexibility when managing the condition abroad.Nick's involvement with the Young Patients Autoimmune Research and Empowerment Alliance (YP-AREA) demonstrates his commitment to supporting other young people with chronic conditions. This growing organization creates educational resources specifically for adolescents and young adults navigating autoimmune diseases—demographics often overlooked in medical literature and research.Listen as Nick shares his powerful perspective on remission, defining it not by lab results but by quality of life and regaining control over your condition. His parting wisdom reminds us that climate change and healthcare are "inextricably linked," and understanding these connections is crucial for anyone living with chronic illness in our rapidly changing world.Links: Young Patients Autoimmune Empowerment Alliance (YP-AREA) Instagram YP- AREA YouTube- Video of the transitioning to adult care webinar they held with friend-of-the-show, Dr. Jordan ShapiroTraveling with prescription medications- US Customs and Border ControlTraveling with IBD- Crohn's & Colitis Foundation USAIBD Passport- nonprofit with advice on traveling abroad with IBDLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

Send us a textThis week we bring back our friend and friend of the show, Dr. Ashish S. Patel! Dr. Patel takes us on a global journey through the evolving landscape of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease treatment, revealing contrasts between approaches across continents and highlighting gaps in how new medications reach children.While adult IBD patients have benefited from an explosion of treatment options over the last two decades, children remain limited primarily to anti-TNF biologics as their only FDA-approved options. This forces physicians to fight insurance battles for access to newer medications or enroll patients in clinical trials that come years too late. "We have to bring evaluation of these medications to pediatrics concurrently with adult populations," Dr. Patel explains, sharing how advocacy efforts aim to shift this paradigm.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when comparing treatment philosophies worldwide. At the World Congress in Buenos Aires, nutritional therapy, probiotics, and dietary interventions dominated discussions—a striking contrast to North American conferences featuring pharmaceutical companies. This reveals how resource availability shapes medical approaches, with Latin American physicians developing expertise in nutritional interventions while North American practices focus on biologics.Dr. Patel's most hopeful insights come from current research aiming to personalize treatment based on a patient's unique profile. Studies collecting genetic information, microbiome data, and environmental exposures may eventually allow doctors to determine the optimal intervention—whether medication, diet modification, or environmental change—for each child at diagnosis. "In the near future, at least for certain types of IBD, we're talking about something that's curative rather than just therapeutic," he shares, offering hope that we're moving beyond symptom management toward addressing root causes.Join us for this eye-opening conversation that challenges conventional thinking about how we research, develop, and implement treatments for one of medicine's most complex childhood conditions.Links: ImproveCareNowNorth American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHAN)Let's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

Send us a textWhat happens when you decide to throw caution to the wind, decline your PhD acceptance, quit your job, and travel the world for 10 months—all while managing Crohn's disease? Friend of the show and health psychologist Josie McGarva takes us along on her extraordinary global adventure, revealing both the challenges and profound joys of pursuing dreams despite having IBD.From the medication logistics nightmare of switching from the medication she was on for a long time to one that she can more easily travel with, to having her mother smuggle medication internationally hidden inside fluffy socks, Josie's preparation for this journey was an adventure itself. With refreshing candor, she shares her experience navigating living and volunteering abroad while traveling on a tight budget of just $1,000 per month.Josie's travels have taken her from the breathtaking mountains of Patagonia to the vibrant temples of Thailand, with meaningful stops volunteering at hostels, dog rescues, and teaching English in remote villages along the way. Through food poisoning in Thailand, 28-hour bus rides in Argentina, and confronting roosters at dawn in remote villages, Josie demonstrates remarkable resilience while never losing sight of why she embarked on this journey: "I'm finally healthy, which is why I have to go."Beyond the travel tales lies a deeper narrative about identity and chronic illness. Having been diagnosed at 13 and sick throughout her formative years, Josie reflects on how being in remission has allowed her to question how much space IBD should occupy in her future life and career. Her powerful message resonates far beyond the IBD community: limitations are real, but with creativity, determination, and support, dreams remain within reach.Links: Our first episode with JosieOur Research Roundup episode with Josie and Stacey Collins, RDJosie's Instagram accountWorkaway- volunteer while traveling siteThe Workaway opportunity with Dani and the dog rescueFundacion Animal ChileLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

Send us a textThe quest for better outcomes in pediatric IBD has taken significant strides forward, and Dr. Jeremy Adler returns to Bowel Moments to guide us through the most promising research developments of the past year. Dr. Adler is a clinical Professor in the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at the University of Michigan and serves as the Interim Director of the Susan B. Meister Child Health Evaluation and Research (CHEAR) Center. We discuss how medication dosing strategies have evolved dramatically, with compelling evidence showing that body surface area measurements work better than traditional weight-based dosing for younger children. This seemingly simple adjustment yields dramatically better results, particularly as children grow and develop through puberty. Regular therapeutic drug monitoring—checking medication levels every 6-12 months or more frequently during growth spurts—has also proven critical for maintaining disease control in the pediatric population.Prevention emerges as the cornerstone of Dr. Adler's research and clinical philosophy. The fascinating GEM study has identified changes in gut permeability that occur before IBD diagnosis, potentially opening doors to early intervention before symptoms appear. Meanwhile, Dr. Adler's own groundbreaking research demonstrates that early, aggressive treatment with anti-TNF medications can prevent serious complications like perianal fistulas, fistulas, and abscesses—complications that significantly impact quality of life and body image.We navigate the complex terrain of treatment barriers, from insurance denials to psychological resistance to "stronger" medications. Dr. Adler challenges common misconceptions, noting that injectable or infusion medications often have better safety profiles than some oral options that patients perceive as "less intense." The conversation turns to normalizing surgical options like ostomies when needed, with Dr. Adler advocating for early introduction to surgical teams—not because surgery is imminent, but because establishing relationships reduces trauma if intervention becomes necessary.With new medication mechanisms emerging and genetic markers helping to personalize treatment approaches, the research landscape offers real hope for children with IBD. Join us for this candid, informative discussion about protecting children from the worst outcomes of IBD through early intervention, personalized treatment, and collaborative care models that address both physical and mental wellbeing.Links: Research article- Preventing Fistulas and Strictures Among Children with Crohn's DiseaseJournal Article referenced- National Perspectives of Barriers by Insurance and Pharmacy Benefits Managers in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel DiseaseImproveCareNowLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

Dr. Michael Weinstein interviews Dr. Larry Kosinski about new data from SonarMD describing the association between anxiety and increased risk for flares and higher disease severity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and emphasizing the importance of integrating mental health support within value-based care models for IBD management. According to the study, Patients with anxiety symptoms were significantly more likely to have high disease severity, and over a six-month follow-up, patients with anxiety exhibited a nearly doubled flare rate. The study suggests that mental health factors like anxiety play a critical role in the clinical course of IBD and that by identifying and addressing psychological contributors, value-based care models can be refined to better support patients with chronic digestive diseases. Join Dr. Weinstein and Dr. Kosinski as they explore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to IBD management and what GI physicians can do to ensure that their patients have the resources they need.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show You Decide What Truth Is "Everything that you need to do to take back your life is the exact same to actually be one of the strongest humans on the planet. Your goal is to change how you feel about life, not what is truth, because truth is not real. It's all what you decide is truth. You get to decide what is good or bad with integrity in your soul, and you get to decide what success is." - Dane Johnson Choose Your Reality "I chose a reality that I'm already healed, that my body is already healing and I'm on my way up. Instead of living in the reality that I'm not there yet and this can't work and I'm exhausted, I'm gonna burn out and quit. Every vibration, every word out of your mouth, every conversation is now more beautiful, more helpful for everyone else, including yourself. Because I believe what is good for others is also good for yourself." - Dane Johnson Be of Value to Others "One of the hardest things spiritually is that you are no longer of value to anybody. Everyone has to do everything for you when you're sick. And so I took back my power to be of value to others. And that is so spiritually nourishing. What gives us all the most value in our life is how we are of service to others." - Dane Johnson Links From Today's Show  Dane Johnson Garrain Jones | Harmonized Human: How To STOP Suffering + Create The New 2.0 Version of YOU FREE JOURNAL Dry Farm Wines: Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your first membership order for just 1¢ 345 Zach Bush MD: Humanity, Consciousness & COVID19 Unlimited Power by Tony Robbins Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT

When I spoke with Dr. Nick Norwitz, the conversation went well beyond typical diet and health topics. We explored the fascinating world of cholesterol, metabolic health, and the importance of truly personalizing nutrition. Dr. Norwitz isn't about promoting a one-size-fits-all solution—instead, he challenges conventional beliefs and inspires individuals to understand their unique metabolic responses. One of the key moments was Dr. Norwitz's explanation of the lipid energy model and its relevance to lean mass hyper-responders. His pioneering research uses N=1 experiments (personalized trials) to uncover how cholesterol metabolism adapts under different diets, whether ketogenic, vegan, or otherwise. The discussion also delved into the potential of ketosis for managing neurodegenerative diseases and examined the promising yet controversial role of GLP-1 in weight management and metabolic health. This episode is a thought-provoking reminder to stay curious, question the norm, and take charge of your health journey! Key Takeaways: The Power of Experimentation: Dr. Nick Norwitz emphasizes how individual metabolic experiments can uncover unique health insights, empowering personalized health decisions beyond conventional wisdom. Challenging Cholesterol Myths: Through an unconventional diet experiment involving 720 eggs, Dr. Norwitz illustrates that cholesterol levels can respond unpredictably to dietary cholesterol, challenging mainstream medical views. Lipid Energy Model Insights: Explaining the fascinating relation between dietary intake, cholesterol levels, and weight, particularly in lean individuals, provides a lens to view metabolic health beyond general guidelines. Ketogenic Diet Benefits: Discusses the potential benefits of ketogenic diets for brain health, metabolic syndrome, and even type 1 and type 2 diabetes, underlining the diet's complex relationship with the microbiome. GLP1 and Metabolism: A deep dive into GLP1's role in treating metabolic diseases, underscoring the nuanced application of therapies like Ozempic and Wegovy and natural alternatives. More About Dr. Nick Norwitz: Dr. Nick Norwitz is on a mission to “Make Metabolic Health Mainstream.” A valedictorian from Dartmouth College with a degree in Cell Biology and Biochemistry, he went on to earn his PhD in Metabolism at the University of Oxford and is now completing his MD at Harvard Medical School. Nick's passion for metabolic health is deeply personal. After battling severe Inflammatory Bowel Disease and finding no relief through conventional treatments, he discovered the power of a ketogenic diet to put his disease into remission. This sparked a relentless curiosity that has shaped his career. Today, Nick is in the final months of his dual doctorate, driven to challenge outdated perspectives on metabolic health and inspire others to take charge of their wellbeing. With his mantra “Stay Curious,” he's not only a trailblazing researcher but also a passionate educator inviting everyone to join the growing movement of Metabolic Health Enthusiasts. Together, he believes, we can change the world. Website Instagram Facebook X YouTube Connect with me!: Website Instagram Facebook YouTube

Genetic discovery in inflammatory bowel disease has been incredibly successful. This provides a unique opportunity to understand what goes wrong when people develop disease, which in turn could identify better treatment targets. Yet most of this potential remains unrealised, as moving from where genetic associations lie to an understanding of how they drive disease is a formidable challenge. James Lee will discuss recent efforts to address this challenge and how his research has revealed a central orchestrator of inflammation, which could be targeted therapeutically.
