*** Warning- This episode discusses sexuality and contains sexual content and may not be suitable for all audiences.****
This week we had a really fun conversation with Dr. Neil Nandi! Dr. Nandi is an Associate Professor and Gastroenterologist with the University of Pennsylvania. We discussed his personal connection to IBD and how that shaped his career. We also talked about his role as the Director of Patient Outreach and Advocacy for the South Asian IBD Alliance and how the got involved with that organization. We spent a lot of time talking about how IBD can affect sexuality, how he talks to his IBD patients about this, and how to provide a safe space for people in the LGBTQI+ community to discuss their sexual health. Finally we discussed a fun fact about Dr. Nandi that we found when doing some research on him and now we want his autograph!
