81: Everything You've Been Told About Crohn's and Colitis Is Wrong

81: Everything You've Been Told About Crohn's and Colitis Is Wrong

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-Autoimmune * Root Cause vs Symptom Suppression Philosophy * Genetics vs Environmental Factors * Immune-Mediated Responses and Antibody Discussion * The Five R Healing Framework Want help with your IBD?

80: Why Biologics Fail (Humira, Remicade, Stelara, Skyrizi, Entyvio, etc.)

Biologics are not as reliable as your doctor makes them sound. In fact, 30% of patients who get one have no response, and 1 in 6 will have it fail within the first year.  Worse than that, once you do get your biologics - it's almost guaranteed to fail at some point in the near future anyways. So why is this happening and what can you do to reduce the risk of your biologics from failing? TOPICS DISCUSSED: * How biologics work (Humira, Remicade, Stelara, Skyrizi, Entyvio, etc.) * Important stats on biologics you need to know * Why biologics fail * Why some biologics work better than others * How to get the most from you biologic drug(s) and how to reduce the risk of failure Want help with your IBD?
