If you’ve been told that food doesn’t matter, stress is just something to “manage,” and medication is your only option—you’re not alone. And you’re not getting the full picture.

In honour of World IBD Day, we're sharing the truth we wish someone had told us after we were diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease. In this episode, we’re breaking down the critical—but often overlooked—factors that impact healing from inflammatory bowel disease: the role of nutrition, the power of nervous system support, and how adopting a healing mindset can shift everything.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into your IBD journey, this episode offers hope, validation, and a starting point for something different—something deeper than symptom management.

Plus, we also created a free resource to go along with this episode:

You are not your diagnosis. You are not broken. And you are not alone.
