Ep 8: Two Roads to Relief. Navigating Crohn's with Both Natural + Clinical Tools

*** THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE***

In this heartfelt solo episode, Joanna shares her personal journey through her daughter's third Crohn's flare (Fistulizing CD) . She opens up about the decision to start Steroids (Presnisolone) and the process of advocating for their preferred biologic treatment, Ustekinumab (Stelara)

This marks a significant shift for their health-concious family, who have always prioritised natural and integrative approaches. Joanna reflects on how they're continuing to honour everything they've learned.

They will continue to deepen their exploration of the emotional side of chronic illness, which they believe holds a crucial key to healing.
