This video is essentially documenting an N = 1 experiment I conducted on myself after finding multiple studies to back up my theory that you can largely mitigate the side effects of prednisone by taking it intermittently and by exercising. Prednisone can also be effective at a low dose and when taken intermittently.

So, I set off for a full year of taking 30mg of prednisone once a week and would check my lab work to see if I would end up with any of the glucocorticoid induced side effects like type 2 diabetes, fat gain, muscle loss, insomnia, depression, bone loss, increased blood pressure, etc.

In the video I go over my blood work results and show that there is an alternative long-term approach.

I struggle with Ulcerative Colitis. I've had it for a long time and I've tried so many different things over the past 25 years. Some have worked a bit and others haven't at all.

This is one of the biggest things that has worked for me outside of dishing out thousands of dollars.

This is not medical advice, if this protocol intrigues you speak with your doctor and keep in mind that the key to this protocol working for me was lifting weights and doing cardio. I break down my program later in the video.
