Meet Josie M!- Episode 14
This week we share a tequila cocktail with Josie McGarva! We talk about her Crohn's disease and her struggle with fistulas and abscesses. We also spend quite a bit of time talking about mental health and IBD and Josie's graduate work in health psychology. She's making great strides researching Post Traumatic Stress and IBD and health disparities and IBD. Very cool stuff and we're really excited. We also talked about how opening up about her disease and how getting an ostomy empowered her, gave her more freedom, and helped her connect with others. You won't want to miss this episode!

Research Roundup #1 with Dr. Anish Patel and Dr. Ashish S. Patel
This week we're joined by a couple of our past guests- Dr. Anish Patel and Dr. Ashish S. Patel- to discuss what's new in IBD research and what's coming down the pipeline! We had a great discussion about biosimilars, predicting colectomy risk in kids diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, using ultrasounds to help track disease progression, precision medicine, and new therapeutics. We learned a lot, gained a lot of hope for better patient quality of life, bemoaned the healthcare system, had a lot of laughs, and realized that Anish might be trying to take our jobs as the host of Bowel Moments.
