Crohn’s and Colitis are autoimmune diseases that impact every aspect of your life. Unfortunately, conventional treatments can have as many long-term side effects as the disease itself. Stephanie Grutz, a nurse practitioner specializing in Crohn’s disease, joins me to talk about her own experience as someone with Crohn’s and how taking an integrative healthcare approach to managing her disease transformed her life and helped her take her power back.

 

Move Your Lymph System by:

  1. Deep breathing exercises
  2. Practice yoga
  3. Dry brushing daily
  4. Wear compression stockings
  5. Walk often
  6.
