81: Everything You've Been Told About Crohn's and Colitis Is Wrong
from Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally · host Josh Dech
In this episode, Josh Dech challenges some of the most widely accepted beliefs surrounding inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), arguing that chronic gut inflammation should be viewed through the lens of root-cause medicine rather than lifelong disease management.Josh explores why he believes the autoimmune label does not fully explain Crohn's and colitis, discusses research involving immune-mediated responses, and examines evidence around antibodies, genetics, and environmental triggers. He explains why genetics may represent susceptibility rather than destiny and why factors such as toxins, antibiotics, processed foods, mold exposure, microbiome disruption, nutrient deficiencies, and lifestyle stressors deserve greater attention.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Why Crohn's and Colitis Are Described as Non-AutoimmuneRoot Cause vs Symptom Suppression PhilosophyGenetics vs Environmental FactorsImmune-Mediated Responses and Antibody DiscussionThe Five R Healing FrameworkWant help with your IBD?Schedule a call with me and my teamJoin the Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally CommunityVisit our Website:gutsolution.caVideo Podcast:Watch the video podcast on YouTubeFollow me on Social Media:Facebook: @joshdech.healthInstagram: @joshdech.healthJoin my free Facebook group: IBD Support and SolutionsSupport the show
