On this episode of the Gut Feelings podcast Danielle interviews Ashley!

We discuss Ashley's personal journey with IBD, her experience with being diagnosed, and how these experiences shaped her professional path as a dietitian specializing in gut health. We explore the importance of support, vulnerability, and finding one's identity beyond IBD, while also sharing insights on nutrition and self-care.

• Ashley’s journey with IBD began in 2011, leading her to later specialize in gut health
• Finding the right support and healthcare provider is crucial for managing IBD.
• It's okay to choose not to share your IBD experience with everyone.
• Vulnerability can lead to deeper connections and understanding with others.
• How Ashley’s cousin’s passing inspired her to be more open about her IBD.
• The importance of self-advocacy in healthcare cannot be overstated.
• Rest and self-care are essential components of managing IBD.
• Building a support network is vital for emotional well-being.
• Exploring interests outside of IBD can provide balance and joy.

We love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel. Creating the resources we provide comes at a significant cost to us. We dream of a day where we can provide even more free education, guidance and support to those with IBD like us.

We need your support to do this. You can help us by liking episodes, sharing them on your social media, subscribing to you tube and telling others about us (your doctors, friends, family, forums/reddit etc). Can you do this for us? In return, I promise to continually level up what we do here.

💜
Ashley
