IBD Community
Fighting IBD Naturally
Others Fighting IBD Naturally
There is an amazing community of people living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis) each of which must decide, in partnership with their care team, how to best manage their unique circumstances. The goal with this community is to highlight the stories of people who are either advocating for or are implementing lifestyle changes in addition to the use of traditional medicine for IBD. There is so much we can learn from each other’s experiences!

Nick Ruffini
Nick’s story has some amazing highs and dramatic lows. Nick has turned his trials into victories and his struggles into some of his most valuable life lessons - you can tell he cares from the moment you meet him…
Joel Sprechman
Joel has a vision to unify the IBD community and to build an integrative focused foundation called the “One Great Gut” to support research and development of integrative solutions for Crohn’s disease…

If you haven’t heard of Josh before it’s about time you had! Josh’s transformation with Crohn’s disease took him from 105 pounds to 165 and counting. It’s an amazing journey combining traditional healthcare and nutrition!
