In this episode I dive into the realities of living with ulcerative colitis. Drawing on over three decades of personal experience, I share insights on symptoms, diagnosis, daily impact, and management strategies.

From understanding what UC is to handling social and emotional challenges, this episode offers a wealth of information and support for both newly diagnosed individuals and seasoned Ulcerative Colitis warriors. With helpful tips and a bit of humor, we ensure that no one has to face this journey alone.
