But what if everything the medical industry has told you about Crohn's and colitis is wrong? Josh Dech is back, and this time he's bringing a published paper that flips the entire $40 billion bowel disease industry on its head.In this episode:Why IBS is a garbage diagnosis and what doctors actually mean when they call something idiopathicThe published paper that proves Crohn's and colitis have never met the criteria for autoimmune disease, and what's actually going on insteadWhy your genes didn't cause your bowel disease, and the difference between genetic susceptibility and genetic causeThe six percent stat that will make your jaw drop: how the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand make up six percent of the global population but carry sixty percent of the world's bowel diseaseThe three things that separate us from countries with five to twenty-five times less bowel disease: ultra-processed food, antibiotic usage, and glyphosateWhy thirty-five to fifty percent of your gut bacteria die in the presence of glyphosate, and why testing for it is a waste of money if you live in the USGenerational dysbiosis: how we've gone from Amazonian tribes with 1,600 unique gut bacteria species to people with bowel disease carrying as few as 100The dietary mistakes people with IBD make, including why bone broth might actually be making you worseThe two diets with the most clinical data behind them for Crohn's and colitis, and why forty to sixty percent of pediatric patients reached remission in six to eight weeksWhat fecal transplants actually are, the three ways they're delivered, and why spending $30,000 on one might be completely useless if you don't fix your terrain firstWhy you could get paid $300 to $500 per donation if you have a healthy gut (yes, really)The nail in the foot analogy that perfectly explains what every GI doctor is doing wrongThe simple order of operations Josh takes every client through,environments, food, drainage, testing, rebuild, and why skipping steps is why people don't get betterWhy taking gut lining support before addressing root cause is like trying to build a house while it's on fireThe projection that by 2030, bowel disease will affect one in 100 people, a 25,000 to 50,000 percent increase from the 1950sIf you or someone you love has been told their Crohn's or colitis is just something they have to manage for life, this episode will change how you think about that.
