Ulcerative colitis affects so many people, yet it's still deeply misunderstood. Flare ups, urgency, and unpredictable digestion can take over daily life and impact far more than just the gut. From the very beginning, it's important to know that if you're living with UC, you are not imagining your symptoms, and you are not powerless in this process. Ulcerative colitis is not random. Your body is not attacking you for no reason. In this episode, we break down the four root causes behind UC and explore what you can start doing now to support healing and create the right environment for your body to recover.  Tune in to hear: The biggest myth about UC and medication (03:05) The four root causes driving ulcerative colitis (04:00) Why lab testing is non-negotiable (04:53) Why there is no one-size-fits-all protocol (09:20) What you can start doing today: where healing begins (11:30) Head to www.paulabenedi.com/episode399 for the show notes Join our newsletter: www.synergised.info/newsletter Follow Synergised on Instagram: @synergiseduk Follow Paula on Instagram: @paulabenedi .

On this episode Fred Goldstein invites Sheena Crosby, PharmD, BCGP, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinical Pharmacist at the Mayo Clinic in Florida. Sheena breaks down the American College of Gastroenterology's (ACG) updated guidelines for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, highlighting major shifts in treatment strategy, including the move toward earlier use of advanced therapies and updated goals focused on symptom control, mucosal healing, and sustained remission. She also outlines the critical payer considerations emphasized in the guidelines—from eliminating unnecessary step-therapy requirements to ensuring timely access to induction and maintenance therapy—changes that have direct implications for patient outcomes and health-system performance.

This meant that Anna was introduced to the industry at a very young age.She has always been a curious person, wanting to know why things are happening, and how they manifest. Anna herself suffers from Inflammatory bowel disease, and she shares how she is one of 1/2 a million with the condition. She uncovers the large variety of symptoms, and describes this as an invisible illness, due to the fact that it isn't spoken about openly.She shares her knowledge on the autoimmune condition, along with her own personal experience, and explains how this can have an impact on hair health.Connect with Anna:InstagramWebsite Hair & Scalp Salon Specialist course Support the showConnect with Hair therapy: Facebook Instagram Twitter Clubhouse- @Hair.Therapy Donate towards the podcast Start your own podcastHair & Scalp Salon Specialist Course ~ Book now to become an expert!

Send us a textDo you have sleep disturbances with IBD? You're not alone, this is very common! This podcast discusses the various factors contributing to sleep issues, including medication effects, dietary habits, and nutritional deficiencies. We know sleep is so important and we provide coping strategies that we hope are helpful for improving sleep quality. Takeaways:- About 70% of people with IBD have trouble with sleep.- Medications like prednisone can disrupt sleep patterns.- Stress and anxiety from chronic illness can affect sleep.- Dietary choices can significantly impact sleep quality.- Ginger tea can alleviate nausea and bloating at night.- Avoiding caffeine and spicy foods can help reduce bowel stimulation.- Walking after dinner can aid digestion and relaxation.- Blue light exposure can interfere with melatonin production.- Nutrient deficiencies, such as anemia, can lead to restless legs.- Ensuring adequate nutrient intake is crucial for sleep quality.Chapters:00:00- Understanding IBD and Sleep Challenges02:35- Dietary Strategies for Better Sleep05:24- The Importance of Routine and Movement08:27- Nutritional Deficiencies and Sleep QualityFollow 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.

Send us a textWhat does great IBD care look like when the system won't make it easy? We sit down with Dr. Adam Ehrlich, Section Chief of Gastroenterology at Temple Health and GI fellowship program director, to explore how he builds patient-centered care in an underserved setting—where insurance denials, missing records, and real-life logistics collide with complex disease.We talk about health literacy, trust, and the conversations that actually change outcomes. Adam explains how he frames risks and benefits with clarity, why the “risks of doing nothing” deserve equal airtime, and how he balances mode of therapy—IV, subcutaneous, or oral—against lifestyle, trauma history, pregnancy plans, and coverage rules. We dig into prison medicine's constraints, from medication access to policy barriers around scheduling, and the creative problem-solving required to keep patients safe and informed. He shares why being honest about uncertainty builds credibility, and how an early investment in patient education pays off with better monitoring and shared targets for remission.The episode also gets practical about personalization. We discuss drug levels with infliximab when severe colitis “loses” medication into the stool, when it's wise to de-escalate dosing, and how habits from flare days can persist after inflammation settles. Adam offers tools to retrain routines, navigate IBS overlap, and align care with quality of life goals like driving, work travel, and showing up at a kid's soccer game without anxiety. As a fellowship director, he reveals how he equips new gastroenterologists to handle today's broader therapy menu, think beyond flowcharts, and advocate through insurance barriers with persistence and purpose.If this conversation resonates, tap follow, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review.

#184 - Crohn's and Colitis Impossible To Heal? He Did It Naturally — and Now Helps Thousands Do the Same   How He Reversed Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis — and What It Teaches Us About Healing Anything with Dane Johnson What if the thing that almost killed you became the reason you truly started living? In this episode, I sit down with Dane Johnson, founder and CEO of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle and the creator of the SHIELD Program — a holistic system that's helped thousands of people around the world reverse inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) symptoms and rebuild their health, naturally. Dane's story reads like a medical miracle — but what makes it powerful is how repeatable it is. After nearly dying from Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, multiple hospitalizations, and a laundry list of failed medications, he turned his healing into a blueprint for anyone with chronic illness who's ready to stop managing symptoms and start reclaiming their life. We unpack what he discovered along the way:

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Kevin J. Tracey, president and CEO at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and author of "The Great Nerve: The New Science of the Vagus Nerve and How to Harness Its Healing Reflexes.”

The Revolutionary Role of the Vagus Nerve in Bioelectronic Medicine: Dr. Kevin J. Tracey, president and CEO at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and author of "The Great Nerve: The New Science of the Vagus Nerve and How to Harness Its Healing Reflexes,” details the historical context and recent advancements in harnessing the power of the vagus nerve to control inflammation without causing immunosuppression. The conversation explores the journey from early experimental stages to the recent FDA approval for treating rheumatoid arthritis through vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) devices. He also delves into the potential applications of VNS in treating other inflammatory conditions, mood disorders, and the science behind non-invasive lifestyle techniques and commercially available devices. The episode provides valuable insights into the future of bioelectronic medicine and its potential to revolutionize medical treatments.

Send us a textThe hardest part isn't always the pain; it's the fog—those days when the labels keep changing, the meds blur together, and the bills are louder than your body. That's where Stephanie A. Wynn stepped in, transforming her Crohn's journey into a movement for clarity, access, and equity.We sit down with Stephanie—author, podcaster, and founder of the Stephanie A. Wynn Foundation—to unpack how a misdiagnosis spiral, two heartbreaking pregnancy losses, and a sixth GI finally led to answers and action. She walks us through the IBD Patient Navigator Program she built to connect people with the care team they actually need: GI, primary care, mental health, dietitian, pelvic floor therapist, and, when needed, a colorectal surgeon. We talk about practical tools that change outcomes—recording appointments, coming with three priority questions, tracking symptoms and meals, and learning your labs so they can become signals instead of mysteries.Stephanie also opens up her book Navigating IBD: A Six-Week Blueprint for Better Gut Health which she designed to slow overwhelm and teach the language of care including treatment decisions, and what “knowing your numbers” truly means. We dig into clinical trials—why she calls it clinical research, how to qualify, what to ask about aftercare, and ways to participate through labs or tissue samples to boost representation. We tackle health disparities and social determinants of health head-on: transportation, refrigeration for meds, school support, and why trust is built by showing up with real solutions.This is a conversation about agency and community for anyone living with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. You'll leave with a sharper checklist, a stronger voice, and a reminder that you are not alone—and that the right tools and team can change everything.If this helped you, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with someone who needs a clear path forward today.Links: Link to Stephanie's IBD bookThe Stephanie A.

It's time for our  First Monday Story coming from our Trussville, Alabama community group… And, it's the perfect story for "Colitis and Crohn's Awareness week," celebrated the first week of December.   At the age of fifteen, Kristen Jones was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. It was a disease doctors said she would be fighting her entire life. The years that followed were spent being sick then well, taking medications and blood transfusions, only to be re-diagnosed with Crohn's disease as an adult. When told her only way to live was through surgery and wearing an ileostomy bag, Kristen hesitantly agreed. Listen in as she speaks of all the Lord has taught her as the Author of her story.    Links:   December 2nd is Giving Tuesday and we'd be honored if you would consider supporting StoryTellers Live with a financial gift!  You can also Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Kristen and any of our past storytellers.   Become a Patreon Insider to access bonus content   Shop our Christmas store for all your stocking stuffer needs!  It Closes on December 8th!   Shop for our When God Shows Up Bible Study series~ Stories of Hope, Stories of Freedom, Stories of Faith Are you interested in one-on-one coaching with our very own Robyn Kown!?  Click HERE!   Check out all of our live speaking engagement opportunities on our website.   Sign up to receive StoryTellers Live's weekly newsletter for updates and details on our live gatherings.   Shop our Christmas store for all your stocking stuffer needs!  It Closes on December 8th!

Send us a textWelcome to episode 1 of our series- IBD Can Eat Me guest hosted by Stacey Collins, IBD RD. In this series, Stacey will interview other Dietitians who also specialize in IBD. This week we welcomed Venus Kalami- board-certified pediatric Dietitian Nutritionist! What if the strict diet you're told to follow does more harm than good? We sit down with pediatric dietitian Venus to unpack how nutrition in IBD can support health without sacrificing joy, culture, or family life. From Stanford Children's IBD and celiac center to medical affairs and public education, Venus brings a rare mix of clinical depth and human warmth—and she doesn't shy away from hard truths.We dig into the pressure families feel to “do everything,” the overuse of restrictive therapeutic diets, and the real risks that come with them: malnutrition, ARFID, pediatric feeding disorders, and lasting food trauma. Venus shares a clear way to tell the difference between a transient food reaction and an inflammatory flare, helping patients step off the rollercoaster of fear and over-correction. She also shows how to make care culturally inclusive with simple, powerful questions: What do you like? What do you cook? What feels doable at home? It's a move from generic handouts to plans that honor heritage foods and real life.You'll hear a vivid case study where a patient referred for low FODMAP improved dramatically without elimination—just lactase with dairy, spreading fruit across the day, and changing other patterns developed from past food trauma. We talk about involving mental health early, “asking around the ask” when supplements come up, and borrowing pediatric best practices for adults who shouldn't have to navigate IBD alone. The theme running through it all: patients deserve permission to dream beyond survival. Biomarkers matter, but so do birthdays, travel, and the comfort foods that make you feel at home.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a gentler path, and leave a review to help more people find evidence-based, humane IBD care.

Send us a textWant a clear, human guide to modern IBD care without the jargon? We're joined by Janette Villalon, a physician assistant at UC Irvine's IBD Center, who brings a front-line view of what truly helps patients: personalized therapy choices, honest safety talk, and practical plans that fit real life. She traces the evolution from a handful of anti-TNFs to a wider toolkit—anti-integrins, IL-12/23 and IL-23 inhibitors, JAK inhibitors, and S1P modulators—and explains how we match treatments to goals like fast relief, fewer side effects, and coverage of extraintestinal issues such as arthritis, uveitis, and psoriasis.We dig into how APPs power the day-to-day of IBD clinics, from education to monitoring and rapid access, and how the GHAPP Conference and national societies elevated advanced practice training. Janette breaks down when clinical trials make sense, why strict inclusion criteria matter, and how logistics can steer decisions when someone is very sick. She demystifies biosimilars, outlining FDA standards that support confident switches when insurance demands it, and shares how she helps patients balance infusions, injections, or pills against travel, work, and adherence.For those planning a family, Janette offers timely guidance: aim for clinical and endoscopic remission three to six months before conception, continue pregnancy-safe maintenance therapy, and discuss starting low-dose aspirin at 12 to 16 weeks to lower preeclampsia risk, coordinated with maternal-fetal medicine.Looking ahead, we explore precision medicine and AI—predictive markers, microbiome insights, and smarter monitoring that could reduce trial-and-error and catch flares early. The throughline is empowerment: ask questions, read, return for follow-ups, and shape your care around your life. We close with community resources from the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation and a shout-out to Camp Oasis for young patients.If this conversation helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what's the one topic you want us to go deeper on next?Links: Gastroenterology & Hepatology Advanced Practice Providers (GHAPP) organization Camp Oasis- Crohn's & Colitis Foundation USAIBD Medication Guide- Crohn's & Colitis Foundation USAPregnancy & IBD video- Crohn's & Colitis Foundation USALet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

Send us a textA boxer in training. A terrifying spiral of symptoms. A life-saving surgery that changed everything. Jose Torres joins us to share how ulcerative colitis pulled him out of the ring and propelled him into purpose—building community, advancing equity, and living well with a J‑pouch in a city that isn't designed for urgent needs.We trace Jose's path from misdiagnosis in Brooklyn to specialized care in Manhattan and the brutal logistics of public transit without bathrooms. He opens up about the cultural currents in his Mexican and Puerto Rican family—why speaking up took time, why steroids raised tough questions, and how food traditions collided with new IBD realities. The story turns on resilience: a colectomy and J‑pouch, early pouchitis, iron infusions, and then a decade of medication-free stability supported by smart nutrition, consistent exercise, and honest attention to mental health.Jose also brings us inside the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation—from literally ringing the office doorbell to roles in advancement, business development, and DEI leadership. We talk about real lived experience, research into disparities, and why culturally fluent care changes outcomes. Along the way, he shares practical tactics for managing frequency, a nudge toward pelvic floor physical therapy, and a grounded philosophy: don't chase perfection, cultivate accountability and hope.If stories of grit, culture, and community help you feel less alone with IBD, this one's for you.

Episode 25:41 The (Natural) Autoimmune Solution It is estimated that nearly 50 million Americans suffer with an autoimmune disorder. Conditions such as Hashimoto's, Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis and Vitiligo.  The cause, according to the medical profession, is unknown. I don't believe that. The treatment, according to the medical profession, focuses on drugs. Drugs such as Immunosuppressants, Anti-Inflammatories, Corticosteroids, and Pain killers. I don't agree with that. The mechanism of action is that the Immune System starts attacking healthy cells. I don't think that's correct. So, what do I think? THAT is what this episode is all about. The cause, treatment and mechanism of action regarding autoimmune disorders. It's an episode that will certainly ruffle some feathers while also shedding some light on an interesting subject. Be sure to give it a good listen… especially if you, or someone you know, suffers with an autoimmune disorder.  And, as always, please share it with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

Send us a textImagine being able to turn down the volume on gut pain, food fear, and medical anxiety—without white-knuckle coping or guesswork. We sit down with Dr. Ali Navidi, co-founder of GIpsychology.com and past president of the Northern Virginia Society of Clinical Hypnosis, to unpack how clinical hypnosis and gut-focused CBT help people with inflammatory bowel disease interrupt the gut-brain loop that keeps symptoms alive. No stage tricks here—just practical tools that retrain the nervous system, reduce visceral hypersensitivity, and restore a sense of control.We explore the real differences between stage and clinical hypnosis and why trance is a natural state you already know how to access. Dr. Navidi explains how anchors—a simple conditioned cue—can trigger a calming response within seconds, whether you're prepping for a colonoscopy, calling the insurance company, or navigating an unexpected flare. We dig into disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBIs) that can drive symptoms even when labs look great, and why gut-focused CBT plus hypnosis outperforms one-size-fits-all mental health approaches for persistent GI distress.Trauma and nocebo effects show up in subtle ways across the IBD journey. We get candid about medical trauma, memory reconsolidation, EMDR as a hypnotic protocol, and how conditioned food sensitivities form—like the “pizza panic” that lingers long after a flare. You'll hear how to calm hypervigilance, rebuild trust with your body, and reintroduce foods safely. We also share details on a new eight-week telehealth group, created with the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation and the American College of Gastroenterology, that pairs weekly skills training with recorded hypnosis sessions for daily practice.Ready to try tools that actually change how your system reacts?

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared sits down with Dr. Jason Klop, founder of Novel Biome, to explore one of the most fascinating and misunderstood frontiers in health: fecal microbiota transplant (FMT). Often misnamed “fecal matter transplant,” FMT is a highly purified process that restores microbial diversity in the gut—far beyond what probiotics alone can achieve. Jared and Dr. Klop discuss why FMT is gaining traction in digestive health, neurological conditions, and immune balance, and how it differs from traditional probiotic supplementation. You'll learn about the rigorous donor screening process, oral vs. rectal delivery methods, and why gut microbiome diversity is critical for overall vitality. The potential applications of FMT are broad and promising. This conversation pulls back the curtain on how supporting the gut ecosystem could impact everything from digestion and inflammation to mood and longevity.Additional Information:Novel BiomeNovel Biome - InstagramPodcast – Biome Breakthroughs (Spotify): Listen hereVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Send us a textComedian Ian Goldstein takes us through his journey with Crohn's disease, beginning with his diagnosis at 16 when he was just trying to navigate the already challenging world of high school, SATs, and planning for college. With candid humor, he recounts the moment he realized something was seriously wrong – not just from frequent bathroom trips, but when a coworker pointed out his dramatic weight loss.What follows is a rollercoaster of medical experiences that many in the IBD community will recognize – from the shock of needing a colonoscopy as a teenager to the trial and error of finding effective medications. Ian vividly describes his first major bowel obstruction during his senior year of college, complete with what he calls the "modern-day torture device" known as an NG tube. Despite his best efforts to manage his condition through diet alone, he eventually required surgery in 2022 to remove seven strictures from his small intestine.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Ian shares how he's transformed his medical journey into comedy shows. From "The Autoimmune Saloon" to a celebration party for meeting his healthcare deductible (complete with custom cupcakes and hats), he's found ways to create community while addressing serious issues like medical debt. These creative outlets not only helped him process his experiences but connected him with others who could offer crucial advice about doctors and treatments.Perhaps most valuable are Ian's insights about navigating the healthcare system with a chronic illness. He speaks honestly about the frustration of insurance denials, the anxiety of unexpected medical bills, and the challenges of having an invisible disability. His experiences highlight the importance of self-advocacy, finding the right medical team, and building a supportive community.Ready to laugh, cry, and feel a little less alone in your IBD journey? Listen as Ian shares his practical wisdom: record your doctor appointments to remember important information, and seek out community connections that might literally change your life. Whether you're newly diagnosed or a veteran of chronic illness, this conversation reminds us all that finding humor in dark places might be our most powerful medicine.Links: Ian's websiteNew York Times article about Ian's party to celebrate meeting his healthcare deductibleThe Squeaky Wheel- satire publication that focuses on the experiences of people living with disabilities. Tina's episode with usDr. David Schwartzberg's episode with usNicole's episode with us- Ian mentioned Nicole and how supportive she's been to him but we sadly had to cut that part out for length.

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow is thrilled to welcome back returning guest, Dominique Gates, who bravely shares her personal experiences living with ulcerative colitis, a chronic illness she was diagnosed with at just 17 years old. Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that leads to inflammation and painful sores in the lining of the large intestine and rectum, causing a range of symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue that can significantly disrupt daily life.Dominique opens up about the deep impact this condition has had on her everyday routine. She candidly discusses the frequent trips to the restroom that have become a normal part of her life and the emotional challenges that accompany them, including feelings of embarrassment and isolation. Throughout her journey, Dominique emphasizes the critical role mental health plays in managing her illness and shares how her faith and spirituality have provided her with strength during tough times.For many years, Dominique relied on a substantial amount of medication to control her symptoms. However, she made a courageous leap of faith by deciding to stop using these medications. Instead, she focused on making significant lifestyle changes, particularly with her diet, transitioning to a pescatarian diet and eliminating dairy products. These changes have led to remarkable improvements in her overall health. Despite this progress, she continues to receive infusions every eight weeks to support her ongoing management of the condition.The episode also explores the importance of having a strong support system, the necessity of regular health check-ups, and the difficulties of maintaining a fulfilling social life while navigating the complexities of a chronic illness. Dominique advocates for open conversations about ulcerative colitis, aiming to raise awareness and encourage others to share their experiences, ultimately helping to reduce the stigma surrounding the condition.Join us as Dominique reflects on her inspiring journey, emphasizing that while ulcerative colitis is a lifelong challenge, it can be managed effectively with the right support, healthy lifestyle choices, and a positive outlook. Tune in for valuable insights and uplifting inspiration from her remarkable story!Who is Dominique Gates?She's first a child of God, raised by 2 awesome parents (Terry & Darlene Wilson) who taught her the ways of God and now she's blessed to be a wife to a wonderful husband and friend (Sam Gates), homeschool mom of 3 blessings (Donovan, Gavin, and Carmyn) and touched with a God-given gift of educating children (over 20 years) while being advisor for parents in deciding the best educational path for their children.You can find Dominique:On Facebook # 1: https://www.facebook.com/gatesoflearning On Facebook # 2: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093977782301Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/rWRjPAVLESIRate this episode on IMDB: TBA********************************************Follow Gabrielle Crichlow:On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gabrielle.crichlow On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabrielle.crichlowOn LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielle-crichlow-92587a360Follow A Step Ahead Tutoring Services:On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astepaheadtutoringservicesOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astepaheadtutoringservicesOn X: https://www.x.com/ASATS2013On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a-step-ahead-tutoring-services/On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@astepaheadtutoringservicesOn TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@asats2013On Eventbrite: https://astepaheadtutoringservices.eventbrite.comVisit us on the web: https://www.astepaheadtutoringservices.comSign up for our email list: https://squareup.com/outreach/a41DaE/subscribeSign up for our text list: https://tapit.us/cipPJOCheck out our entire "Hot Topics!" podcast: https://www.astepaheadtutoringservices.com/hottopicspodcastSupport us:Cash App: https://cash.app/$ASATS2013PayPal: https://paypal.me/ASATS2013Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/ASATS2013Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hot-topics--5600971/support Original date of episode: July 5, 2025

About 1-in-6 Americans suffer from an Autoimmune Disease, which is actually a growing problem.  In this episode, we talk about:—How Dr. Prather's career was inspired by his own battle with Graves' Disease, which is an Autoimmune Disease.  And why making sure the Atlas is in proper place is "critical" for Autoimmune Disease and needs to be corrected first before there can be any progress.—The various categories of Autoimmune Disease:  Joints and Muscles (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Myositis), Skin and Blood Vessels (Sjogren's Syndrome, Psoriatic Arthritis, Vitiligo), Digestive (Celiac Disease, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis), the Endocrine System (Type I Diabetes, Addison's Disease, Hashimoto's, Thyroiditis, Graves' Disease), the Nervous System (Multiple Sclerosis, Myasthenia Gravis, Guillain-Barre), the Lymphatic System (Fibromyalgia), and many more.—The different infections that can kick off Autoimmune Disease, including Viruses, Bacteria, Parasitic, or Fungal.   And how Heavy Metal Toxicities and Stress can cause of Autoimmune Disease.—Why the underlying cause of the Autoimmune Disease is more important to determine in Dr. Prather's Structure-Function Health Care model, while the Disease Care approach focuses on managing and suppressing the symptoms.  And the "huge" role that the Gut plays in Autoimmune Diseases.—The new cutting-edge area of drugs called Biologics and how they work.  And how Vaccines are actually classified as Biologics.—How Immunosuppressant Drugs can be helpful and life-saving, but can also increase your chances of Cancer and a shortened life-span.  And why Dr. Prather says, "The more drugs that you take, the longer you take them, the more likely you are to have an issue."—Why your ability to fight infections, viruses, fungal, and parasites "go way down" if you are taking an Immunosuppressant Drug.—How Dr. Prather himself and many of his patients are a "testament" that Medical Doctors are wrong when taught to believe that there is no hope of getting well from Autoimmune Disease.  And how the Structure-Function Care results he sees in his office disprove the Medical model's belief that symptoms should just be managed and that the patient will always get worse.—Why Dr. Prather says "we're not going to get anywhere" with an Autoimmune Disease if you have Heavy Metal toxicity.  And the importance of thorough diagnostics in Structure-Function Care to determine the root cause of the Autoimmune Disease that needs to be corrected.—The effectiveness of Structure-Function Care, which is "the only way you're going to make headway in an Autoimmune Disease".  And the reason Homeopathics are described by Dr. Prather as "a real key" for making dramatic changes in Autoimmune Disease.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Send us a textImagine visiting your gastroenterologist and feeling comfortable enough to discuss every aspect of how IBD affects your life—including your sexual health and practices. For many patients, particularly those in the LGBTQI+ community, this remains an elusive dream rather than reality.Dr. Victor Chedid, gastroenterologist and director of Mayo Clinic's Pride Clinic, joins Bowel Moments to tackle this crucial gap in IBD care. With disarming honesty and clinical expertise, he reveals why addressing sexuality isn't just about inclusivity—it's about providing complete medical care. When 95% of providers believe discussing sexual health is important but only 27% actually do it, patients suffer in silence with questions that directly impact their quality of life.The conversation dives deep into practical approaches for both patients and providers. Dr. Chedid shares his framework for discussing sexual practices with patients, from the straightforward question "What do you do for sex?" to navigating complex conversations around surgical interventions like J-pouch formation. For transgender patients, he unpacks recent research on gender-affirming hormones and IBD, emphasizing that life-saving gender-affirming care should never be withheld due to IBD concerns.Perhaps most compelling is Dr. Chedid's perspective on cultural humility and intersectionality. Each patient's experience is shaped by multiple overlapping identities—their sexuality, gender, race, nationality, and more. Rather than making assumptions, he advocates for providers to "leave their biases at the door" and approach each person's unique situation with curiosity and respect."People living with IBD are the experts of their own bodies," Dr. Chedid reminds us in his powerful closing thoughts. "When they say something feels off, it's not a guess—it's lived experience." This principle forms the foundation of truly inclusive care—care that sees patients as whole people deserving of dignity, understanding, and comprehensive treatment.Ready to advocate for more inclusive IBD care?

I was diagnosed with an extremely severe case of sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a pre-diabetic status. At this time, I was also struggling with substance abuse, which would obviously contribute to my health complications, but most were from birth. After receiving the news from running tests, the doctors had informed me that I was lucky to be alive. My psychological health was greatly impacted by my physiological health, evoking feelings of anger, and negativity which caused me to constantly argue with people around me. This affected several of my relationships and was creating a miserable life. This lead me to seek out the help of a bodybuilding coach (not knowing a damn thing about health at the time). The main focus was “getting shredded,” not understanding how much internal health affects one's physique. Interestingly enough, shedding the weight had really helped with my sleep apnea, but still, quite a few health complications were present. At this time hunger was ignited in me to learn more. I became determined to solve what was going on in my body. I decided to acquire my first nutrition certification through the ISSA (International Sports Science Association).

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!
