This week we talk to our friend Clayton Smith! Clayton is a self-described "autoimmune disease magnet" who lives with Crohn's, Celiac, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, a rare cardiac and soft tissue disease and who has also had 2 bouts with colon cancer. We talked to him about traveling to developing countries with IBD and how to prepare for that, we talk to him about rural vs. urban vs. tribal health systems, we talk about struggling with body image and mental health, we talk a lot about how running and getting involved in charity running events helped him connect with other people living with IBD (including Robin!), we hear some great stories about Robin, and we laughed a whole lot. We hope you enjoy our conversation with our talented friend as much as we enjoyed our 2 hours of recording.
