I mentioned on the podcast that I am going to be hosting a discuss on the Wisdom app. This is a new platform that is designed to connect people with experts directly through voice chat. It seems like a pretty cool app and they invited me to try it out. If you want to join the conversation I will be doing a live Q and A to help you get ready for the New Year on December 19th.

Sometimes asking the right questions can be a powerful driver of change. 

Today on the show we are going to talk about an important question that you can ask yourself every time that you eat can help be more mindful about the nutritional choices that you are making. 

Asking yourself this question every time you eat and making sure that your choices align with your values can help lead you in a positive direction with your health.

In this episode we are going to talk about a topic that is a lot more controversial than I realized: artificial sweeteners.

Artificial sweeteners have been used as an alternative to sugar for decades and over the years various claims have popped up about their safety and potential negative health effects.

Today, we are going to review some of the science examining those  claims and discuss whether these can be a part of a healthy diet or if you should avoid these food additives as much as you can.

Nutrition can be one of the most useful therapeutics for helping to manage IBD.

Yet most people with IBD receive very little guidance regarding nutritional changes and many are left to do their own research to help determine what dietary changes may provide them with the most benefit. 

In this episode, I am going to review the science for the use of various popular nutrition approaches to IBD including the Gluten & Dairy Free Diets, Specific Carbohydrate Diet, Low FODMAP Diet, Autoimmune Paleo Diet, and the IBD Anti-Inflammatory Diet.

We will discuss which of these diets holds promise and which are probably not very useful and cover some overarching lessons that I learned from my hours and hours of research on this topic. 

If you are someone struggling with IBD, you don't want to miss this episode.

In this episode, I want to give you my thoughts on this discussion and explain why many people who blame the guidelines are just plain wrong.
