Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally

Is taking probiotics really the best way to restore your gut microbiome—or could it actually be keeping you stuck? Josh explains how the gut microbiome develops, why modern lifestyles contribute to chronic inflammation, immune dysfunction, and microbial imbalance, and how factors like ultra-processed foods, chronic stress, environmental toxins, poor sleep, mold exposure, and repeated antibiotic us...

Detox has become one of the most talked-about topics in natural health—but it's also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Josh Dech explains why detox isn't simply about taking supplements, drinking detox teas, or spending hours in the sauna.

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-med...

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? TOPIC...

Can IBD actually be healed, or even cured? To say "no" would be to assume that inflammation is a random occurrence, which isn’t possible.

SIBO, Parasites and Candida are some of the biggest drivers in Crohn's and Colitis, but your doctor may never test for them.
