Today's witness is from the Encounter Ministries Website. Patrick Reis and Father Mathias Thelen of the Diocese of Lansing, Michigan, founded Encounter Ministries (www.encounterministries.us). They say the ministry's purpose is “to unleash the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in the world through teaching, equipping, and activating disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Its work has been endorsed by many bishops in the U.S. and elsewhere. The ministry offers a two-year training program, the Encounter School of Ministry (www.encounterschool.org). I graduated from this program in May of 2024. It was an amazing 2 years of life. The people teaching my class and my classmates were amazing. I learned so much in two years and have been able to put what I learned into practice. That is one of the most amazing things about the Encounter School of Ministry: they teach you something new each week, but then you immediately put it into practice with something they call activations.Encounter Ministries' healing services are like nothing I have ever been to before. They start with praise and worship for a good hour before the service. Then they have a Gospel teaching about healing and give some real-life examples. Next, they have the team come up and give words of knowledge. This means that the team asks the Lord for what He wants to heal that night, and anyone who hears something goes up and shares it. Oftentimes, people are healed just by the word of knowledge. They hear that God wants to heal them, and they are healed. It can be that simple. Next, they do corporate healing. This means that the leader names a part of the body, and anyone suffering from that raises their hand. Those sitting around this person pray over the person. The leader tells them what to say, and the whole audience repeats it. There are so many healings that occur during this section of the healing service, which is amazing because it is just regular, everyday people praying over them. It is not people with special training, it is not people who are super holy and pray all the time. It is just whoever happened to sit next to that person for the service. It is such a good reminder that we are not the ones doing the healing; the Lord is. It is also a good reminder that God can use anyone.The healing services usually end with individual prayer for those who were not healed earlier in the service. These healing services are so powerful, and they even host them on Zoom sometimes. The witness for today, Gabriella, is from their website. Gabby suffered from Lupus, Endometriosis, and Ulcerative Colitis. She happened to be attending an Encounter Conference online when she heard Father call out the words of knowledge for her particular body parts that she was struggling with, and she knew she would be cured. Here is her story. I will put a link to the original testimony in the show notes.

Send us a textWhen you're battling inflammatory bowel disease, the wounds aren't always visible. Beyond the physical symptoms lies a reality many patients face but few discuss openly – the psychological impact of medical trauma.Dr. Christina Jagielski, clinical health psychologist at Michigan Medicine, brings her expertise to this powerful conversation about trauma-informed care in the IBD community. With surprising candor, she reveals how she discovered that approximately half of gastroenterologists avoid screening for trauma history – not because they don't care, but because they feel unprepared to respond appropriately to what patients might share.Through Robin's emotional personal story of emergency room panic attacks and medical gaslighting, we witness firsthand how past medical experiences shape current healthcare interactions. The conversation dives deep into practical strategies for both patients and providers: how to communicate triggers without reliving trauma, why certain medical settings feel unsafe, and what small changes can make enormous differences in patient comfort.Dr. Jagielski challenges the longstanding approach of selective trauma screening based on gender or diagnosis, advocating instead for universal trauma-informed care. "People living with IBD are so much more than their labs and test results," she reminds us, emphasizing that acknowledging patients' lived experiences is just as crucial as treating their physical symptoms.Whether you're a patient who's experienced medical trauma, a healthcare provider seeking to create safer spaces, or someone supporting a loved one with IBD, this episode offers transformative insights into healing the hidden psychological wounds of chronic illness.

In this episode of the RCP Medicine podcast, Professor Ailsa Hart and Dr Eathar Shakweh discuss how to approach managing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in the acute medical setting. This is the first episode of a 2-part series, with a focus on ulcerative colitis. IBD is a common condition, affecting 1 in 123 people in the UK. The 2024 State of the IBD Care in the UK report highlighted the urgent need to shorten time to diagnosis and initiate early treatment to minimise the risk of IBD-related complications. Acute and general medicine physicians have an important role to play in diagnosing and managing IBD. This podcast will equip medics at all stages of training with the necessary knowledge to approach this heterogenous and complex condition. Professor Hart is Director of IBD Research at St Mark's Hospital, London, United Kingdom and a world-leading expert in IBD. Eathar is an IBD Clinical Research Fellow at St Mark's and Imperial, with a special interest in perianal fistulising Crohn's disease.

Hey, Heal Squad! You may know her from viral videos and billion-view challenges, but today, Rebecca Zamolo is sharing the story behind the screen—one marked by pain, resilience, and radical honesty. In Part 1 of our raw and inspiring conversation, Rebecca opens up about her battle with chronic illness, the life-altering decision to remove her colon, and how that journey impacted her self-worth, identity, and relationships. She walks us through the emotional toll of IVF, the heartbreak of miscarriage, and what it was like to navigate it all while being in the public eye. We explore how she rebuilt her strength (physically and emotionally) and why she chose to share these deeply personal moments with her audience. Whether you're navigating a health crisis, infertility, or just need a reminder that healing is possible, Rebecca's story will move you and empower you to keep going. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Chronic illness doesn't care about your plans. Rebecca was at the top of her career when her health crashed. Her body forced her to stop, reassess, and choose healing—even when it meant removing her colon. You can be grateful and grieving at the same time. Rebecca shares the emotional rollercoaster of IVF and miscarriage, revealing how it's possible to feel joy for others while holding heartbreak for yourself. Silence breeds shame. She explains how speaking publicly about her miscarriage helped her release shame and allowed others to feel seen in their own stories.

In this week's episode, I chat with Claire about her two very different birth experiences at public hospitals in Melbourne. Claire's journey began with meticulous preparation - she and her partner Aaron spent six months optimising their health with a naturopath before trying to conceive. Her first pregnancy was textbook perfect, leading to a beautiful physiological birth with her daughter Amelia. However, her second pregnancy brought new challenges when growth scans indicated a "big baby," leading to discussions about potential induction that Claire navigated with confidence and research. Both births were supported through the Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) model, though Claire's experiences highlight the importance of advocating for the care you want. Her story beautifully demonstrates how preparation, knowledge, and trusting your body can lead to positive birth outcomes, even when circumstances change. ___ A birth support partner offers physical and emotional support throughout labour and birth. Your birth partner should be mentioned in your birth plan, particularly in regards to how they will advocate for you to your midwife or doctor.

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

Send us a textWhen your gastroenterologist is also your dad, navigating the complexities of Crohn's disease takes on a whole new dimension. Angie's powerful story reveals a journey of discovery, resilience, and unexpected insights into managing IBD through life's major transitions.Diagnosed in 2017 following a period of intense personal stress, Angie shares her quest to understand why she developed Crohn's without family history. Her analytical approach has led to fascinating observations about potential triggers and management strategies. Most notably, she's discovered her Apple Watch provides possible early warnings of impending flares through heart rate variability changes.The conversation takes a particularly compelling turn when Angie discusses her pregnancy experience. While initially smooth, a flare during her third trimester created significant concerns about her baby's development. She candidly shares how her medical team balanced medication adjustments with pregnancy safety, ultimately leading to the birth of her healthy son. Beyond medical management, Angie reveals how her experience with cold exposure seemed to help her, and how changing her relationship with exercise from aesthetic goals to gratitude for movement transformed her approach to fitness. Her perspective on finding meaning through chronic illness challenges listeners to consider how difficulties might lead to unexpected gifts – deeper connections, greater self-awareness, and opportunities to help others.Whether you're newly diagnosed, preparing for pregnancy with IBD, or simply seeking fresh insights on managing a chronic condition, Angie's story offers valuable perspectives from someone who's navigating these waters with honesty, humor, and hope.

In this episode of NP Pulse, nurse practitioners Jessica Crimaldi and Christina Hanson explore the evolving landscape of ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting over a million Americans.

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!
The band Dinosaur Pile-Up just announced a new album and released two new songs. After kicking down the door of mainstream rock with the 2019 album Celebrity Mansions, we haven't really heard much from the band. There's a good reason for that, lead singer Matt Bigland was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, a digestive disease that wrecks your insides. Something I know a lot about as 15 years ago I found out that I had celiac disease, both are autoimmune diseases with similar outcomes, and they both suck. Matt ended up in the hospital for a bit, so his health needed to come first. Now though, he's better than ever, and the band is firing on all cylinders. Two new songs are out called "My Way and 'Bout to Lose It." They come off a new album called I've Felt Better, due out in August of 2025. On a side note, I personally am a huge fan of this band, and I'm stoked to have this conversation.
In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Taylie Liddell to discuss her journey in soccer while also overcoming an ACL tear and Ulcerative Colitis. Taylie Liddell is from Southern California. She played for UNLV women's soccer and graduated out of the program in 2023. Throughout her time playing she developed an autoimmune disease called ulcerative colitis, as well as tearing her ACL/meniscus in her final season. Taylie made the decision July 2024 to get a total colectomy, leaving her with an ostomy bag! All of this led her to begin nursing school at GCU so she can help other people going through similar situations!

04/27/25The Healthy Matters PodcastS04_E14 - Gut Check: Understanding Crohn's DiseaseWith Special Guest: Dr. Jason Eckmann, MDWe've all had a stomach bug at some point in our lives, and it's probably safe to say that every one of us would rather skip the next one. But for millions worldwide with a Crohn's Disease diagnosis (AKA Crohn Disease), that stomach issue is much like the condition they live with every day of their lives. Crohn's is a chronic condition, and whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting someone who is, or just curious about what this condition is all about, in this episode, we'll break it down in a helpful way that's easy to understand.A diagnosis of this condition can be scary, and it's certainly one that comes with its own set of physical and emotional challenges. Thankfully, on this show we'll be joined by Dr. Jason Eckmann, MD, a Gastroenterologist at Hennepin Healthcare, and someone who's helped countless patients navigate this condition and continue on with their lives. From symptoms, to diagnosis, to treatments and what the future might hold for those with Crohn's, there's a lot to talk about - and we've got just the expert to walk us through it. We hope you'll join us.Here's a link to the Chron's & Colitis Foundation mentioned in the show.We're open to your comments or ideas for future shows!Email - healthymatters@hcmed.orgCall - 612-873-TALK (8255)Get a preview of upcoming shows on social media and find out more about our show at www.healthymatters.org.
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!

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
