Uncovering The Major Trigger Behind Ulcerative Colitis

Mission: Colitis Remission

07/31/24 • 34 min

Have you ever wondered what really triggered the onset of your ulcerative colitis?

Was it one catastrophic stressful event...two or three things...or maybe you haven’t even properly tried to join the dots at this point.

But the fact is that many people dealing with an inflammatory bowel disorder have actually been under extreme emotional stress...

A dramatic, painful life event where the emotional turmoil then coincided with these nasty physical gut issues and then a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis at some point further down the line.

In this episode, host Marc McLean reveals the direct link he discovered between ‘emotional baggage’, the difficult times in his life – and his diagnosis of ulcerative colitis.

How I Healed Ulcerative Colitis: Nicole Carter's Incredible 7-Year Journey

Mission: Colitis Remission

07/24/24 • 34 min

Nicole Carter is an inspiring American woman who was unexpectedly struck down with ulcerative colitis in 2012.

She was described as the “healthiest sick person” by people she knew because Nicole was actually a health coach and fitness professional at the time she was diagnosed.

But rather than give in to a life of taking medication and barely managing symptoms, Nicole went on an incredible seven-year journey to finally find a way to reverse her symptoms.

She’s been symptom free for six years now and considers herself fully healed.

Nicole has since written a book, ‘How I Healed My Ulcerative Colitis’, and has helped many people overcome the condition as a health coach.
