This week we spoke to Liam Robertson! Liam was diagnosed with UC when he was a young adult but the process was lengthy and filled with times when he was not believed. We talked about what that was like to navigate the health system and his feelings on it. We discussed how he got so involved in social media, how that's helped him cope with flares and complications, and the importance of having a community around you. We also talked about the books that he's written including "More Than Meets the Eye: Living with Ulcerative Colitis" and the kids book series about Jack Jupiter who is a child living with IBD. We talked about what prompted him to write the books and the response he's gotten from people all over the world. We also discussed his job on an oil rig and what that's been like for him to be so far away from medical care with UC. And finally we spoke about him training in muay thai- what got him interested and more. Liam was so much fun to talk to! Go check out his books.
