Episode Details

We get it, fatigue can be so overwhelming with IBD! In this podcast, we discuss the primary causes of fatigue, including: inflammation, decreased food intake, and nutrient deficiencies. We emphasize the importance of nutrition in managing fatigue and highlight how nutrition, stress, and overall health are all connected.

We have seen a 90% improvement in fatigue in the clients we work with, so that has been encouraging that fatigue can improve with proper support!

We love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel. Creating the resources we provide comes at a significant cost to us. We dream of a day where we can provide even more free education, guidance and support to those with IBD like us. 

We need your support to do this. You can help us by liking episodes, sharing them on your social media, subscribing to YouTube and telling others about us (your doctors, friends, family, forums/reddit etc). 

Can you do this for us? In return, I promise to continually improve what we offer to you on all of these platforms!
