What if you were looking back at today and realized this was the moment when you took your Health back and changed the course of your Life!

Back in 2007 I was in the middle of roller coaster rides of flare ups followed by brief periods where things were going ok. I had recently been diagnosed with osteoperosis – softening of the bones.

Ulcerative colitis is not a fun disease, and it can be very painful. Nobody will doubt that.

Well, here I am on another business trip. Back before I had UC, I loved to travel, see new places and try out new foods. Once I got sick, travel kind of became a source of anxiety even if it was just a day trip. Heck, when things were real bad, just taking my kids [...]
