We discuss a book called "Immune: A Journey Into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive" by Philipp Dettmer.

Welcome to Season 5 Episode 1! We are excited to start a new season in the new year. We wanted to kick it off with a topic and question we hear about often, is Crohn's curable? But then we got to thinking what a cure would look like. We go further into both topics and hope you find some hope in learning how the future of this disease is changing and what that could look like! We are family friendly and want our audience to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.

Welcome to S4 episode 16! As we head towards the end of 2025, we wanted to cover IBD breakthroughs, treatment developments and other stories that were in the news. We felt these stories were important to share because a lot of times there are click bait stories out there that can be misleading. But most of all we think it is important to share the hope, support, and direction research is heading! We included links for further reading. We are family friendly and want our audience to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.

Our holiday guide will help prepare you so you can sail into the holidays and hopefully enjoy "the most wonderful time of the year". We are family friendly and want our audience to be involved!
