Josh is a Holistic Nutritionist, specialising in Crohn’s and Colitis, and other related gut issues.    After reversing over 250 cases of Crohn’s and colitis (previously thought to be impossible to fix), he’s been connected to some of the world’s most renowned doctors.    He’s since been recruited to the Priority Health Academy as a medical lecturer, helping educate doctors on the holistic approach to gut health, and inflammatory bowel disease; and has launched a top 2.5%  globally ranked podcast. ReversABLE: The Ultimate Gut Health Podcast and is available everywhere podcasts are found    Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:  IBS and IBD (Crohn's and colitis) are on a spectrum of severity and have similar symptoms. The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in detoxification, hormonal balance, immune regulation, digestion, and nutrient production. Toxins, microbial imbalances, and diet/nutrient deficiencies are the main reasons for developing IBD. The modern diet and exposure to toxins disrupt the balance of the gut microbiome. Addressing the root causes of gut issues is crucial for reversing bowel disease and improving gut health. Toxins, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies contribute to gut imbalances and should be addressed. The gut is connected to various diseases and conditions, and addressing gut health can have a positive impact on overall health. The five steps to reverse bowel disease are drainage, removing the problem, replenishing nutrients, rebuilding the microbiome, and rejuvenating the immune system. Gut issues can be reversed, and there is hope for those struggling with bowel diseases.   Today's podcast is sponsored by my 1:1 online coaching program:  https://briankeanefitness.com/one-to-one-online-coaching (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/joshdech.health   (Podcast) https://www.reversablepod.com/   (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/groups/ibdsolutions/   (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/joshdech.health   (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/joshdech.health/   (Youtube) https://www.youtube.com/@GutHealthSolution   (LinkedIN) https://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-dech-5a1582106/   https://gutsolution.ca

After years of thinking that low energy, low libido, joint pain, and lackluster performance in the gym were just a part of the natural aging process, Adam didn’t realize that his hormone health was suboptimal and sabotaging his health and happiness.  His personal experience offers a unique point of view to holistic health and mindset that we are going to unpack in today’s show.  Through his work with Blokes Men’s Health and Joi Women’s Wellness, Adam is at the forefront of empowering individuals to take control of their health journey. He is passionate about helping others to understand the importance of hormone health and how it can impact every aspect of their lives. From energy levels to mood and performance, optimizing hormone balance can lead to profound transformations in overall well-being.   Here are some of the thing we talked about in today’s podcast:    Hormonal health is crucial for energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. Functional medicine takes a more comprehensive approach to hormone testing and treatment compared to traditional medicine. Nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle factors play a significant role in maintaining hormonal balance. Peptides like BPC 157 can be effective for joint pain and recovery. Peptide therapy can be an effective tool for joint recovery and repair, especially when combined with nutrition, cold exposure, contrast therapy, and sleep. Education and awareness are key in understanding the benefits of peptide therapy and overcoming the stigma associated with low testosterone in men. Understanding one's own body through diagnostic lab reports is essential for identifying deficiencies and taking targeted steps to improve hormonal health. Improving hormonal health can have a significant positive impact on energy levels, libido, and overall well-being, allowing individuals to show up as their best selves in relationships and other areas of life.   Today’s podcast is sponsored by my BKF Online Group Coaching Program  https://briankeanefitness.com/bkf-online     (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/admandew/   (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553118971640   (Associated websites) https://blokes.co/   https://choosejoi.co/ (Twitter/X) https://x.com/admandew   (Social media post on Hormone health-@getblokes) https://www.instagram.com/admandew/reel/C3OTUktuEgO/   (Social media post on Hormone levels) https://www.instagram.com/admandew/reel/Cz4jjxVuqQh/

Consuming highly processed foods can have disadvantages, such as impacting energy levels and nutrient intake, and it's crucial to prioritize whole foods and nutrient-dense options. Online nutrition information can contribute to health anxieties and misinformation, and it's important to critically evaluate sources and seek evidence-based guidance from qualified professionals.  Navigating nutrition information online can be challenging due to conflicting advice and unregulated sources. Understanding head, heart, and stomach hunger can help in making mindful food choices. Fasting may have different implications for women, and individual context should be considered. The power of food for skin health lies in nourishment and what is added to the diet. Approaching nutrition from a perspective of addition and abundance is more beneficial than focusing on subtraction and scarcity.   Today’s podcast is sponsored by my BKF Online Program:  https://briankeanefitness.com/bkf-online   (Website) http://nicsnutrition.com/   (Twitter / X) https://x.com/nicsnutrition   (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/nicsnutrition/   (Youtube) https://www.youtube.com/nicsnutrition   Her new book:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Not-Eat-Ultra-Processed-life-changing/dp/1529940117/ref=asc_df_1529940117/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=697364111492&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15625223310232723756&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007864&hvtargid=pla-2332339303124&psc=1&mcid=0e105306ee49367ca7628c893e36e8cf&th=1&psc=1&gad_source=1
