💩To Those With UC & IBD💚

l endured a life-threatening UC flare in 2021. I stopped eating and drinking and lost 20 pounds in two weeks from my already tiny frame. The worst part, though, was I had nowhere to turn. I had no idea what was happening to my body. I scoured online forums out of desperation to seek an answer—one that was not dictated by big pharma. I yearned for the personal stories of IBD, the nitty-gritty details of what is actually going on within my body. I kept finding glossed-over content. No one was wiling to discuss the graphic details—those humiliating nuances of discussing, yes, our 💩. You know the old rule: if you can’t find it, create it.

Therefore, I bring you the Ulcerative Colitis Autoimmune Healing Journey podcast (available everywhere, including Apple Podcasts). In this podcast, I delve into the graphic details of having an IBD—details I wish someone would’ve shared with me. I also cover the following topics and more:

• graphic and detailed description of my flare

• complete diagnosis from physician to gastroenterologist

• colon spasms or spastic colon

• anemia

• edema

• colonoscopy

• MRI enterography with contrast

• honest steroid sides effects

• biologic agents and if they’re right for you

• emotional causes of IBD

• childhood trauma

• malnourishment

• hair loss

• bowel peristalsis (the urge to poo)

• sex & sex drive

• diet - foods to avoid & foods that heal

• exercise that brought me back to life after my flare

• exercise to prevent a major flare

• supplementation including herbs, powders & tinctures

• trauma energy healing

• German New Medicine

• Ayurveda

• CIRS & biotoxin illness connection

• mold toxicity

All of these topics will be covered in depth in the podcast, episode by episode…and they will also be covered in the e-book.

When listening to the podcast, reading the e-book, or doing my guided meditations (available in My Shop), please know that I am supporting you on your healing journey. It’s my journey too, and I’ve found that after 1.5 years of doing this podcast, we are healing together as a community. In this community, let’s be authentic and hold space for one another. Please also know that healing energy emanates through my words in order for us to heal together.

‼️ Please note:

• I am not a doctor or health professional in any way. Always consult a doctor or health professional before attempting any of the suggestions in the e-book or podcast.

• Keep in mind, I get graphic with IBD details.

• I swear on occasion (who doesn’t love a well-placed f-bomb?).

• If you haven’t noticed yet, which I’m sure you have😉, I am a big metaphysical and (non-religious) spiritual person. You will hear about the metaphysical and non-religious spiritual part of my journey, including energy healing, reiki, etc.

As of mid-2022, I’ve decreased the inflammation in my body by 80% according to fecal testing and my bloodwork is all in normal range, except for the red blood cells, thus I have a touch of anemia. The health professionals I’ve visited are shocked at my quick recovery, in only eight months after my horrendous flare. And, so far—though who knows what the future will hold—I’ve healed without any biologic agents. I believe this incredibly fast healing journey, which I am still on and will always be on, is due to the mind-body-soul approach.

Next, I want to explain the podcast cover. You see the outline of a glowing green heart on my intestinal area. When I have an amazing poo—you know, one of those perfectly-shaped, beautiful poos—I call it a “green heart”💚. In my household, we also call one or more perfect poos, a “green heart day.” My hope for you is that every day is a green heart day.

If everything or most everything I’ve said resonates with you, please join our supportive community. I am figuring out, besides the podcast, e-book, meditations, and UC & IBD HEALING NEWSLETTER, how to support you even more in your healing journey.

📧Please reach out to me via email at freespiritpodcasts@gmail.com or DM @freespiritpodcasts just to say hi or to suggest anything.

🌟Finally, for the podcast, if you expanded your IBD and/or UC knowledge in any way after listening, then I need your help. Please take a moment to leave a 5-star rating and review wherever you listen, especially on Apple Podcasts. This gives the podcast more visibility, so more people with IBD have the opportunity to heal. Leaving a rating and review takes less than one minute and is highly appreciated!

Gratitude,

J India
