Summary
In this episode, we talk about eating for about Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) or Colitis. We talk through exactly what IBD is - but the podcast really covers gut health in general.
Today I talk to the incredible Dr Alan Desmond who is a Gastroenterologist based in Devon. He has some really interesting views on how we can utilise diet and lifestyle to improve not only our gut health but also Type 2 Diabetes, Cholesterol and Cardiovascular diseases - all other features that are really important in today's healthcare landscape.
In these episodes, we cover:
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
- Ulcerative Colitis
- Crohn's Disease
- Colon Cancer
- Just how influential lifestyle and diet can be on gut health and associated conditions
- How beneficial a plant focused lifestyle, including increasing your fibre intake and getting more colours onto your plate, can be for inflammatory conditions such as IBD

| 0:00.0 | Today's podcast is sponsored by Zoe and I'm pretty convinced that anyone listening to this |
| 0:04.8 | podcast right now has an invested interest in health. Maybe you've tried the recipes, |
| 0:09.8 | taken advice from guests, all like me, you see food as medicine. But to any of you ever |
| 0:15.0 | feel like you're doing all the right stuff to live a healthy lifestyle, but you still feel |
| 0:20.1 | fatigued in the afternoons. It could be because the advice that we give to most people simply |
| 0:26.4 | isn't enough for your unique body. And I'm a believer that personalized nutrition could be |
| 0:32.0 | beneficial if you find yourself in this pattern. And Zoe's groundbreaking science does watch |

| 1:37.0 | online store for fashion and homeware. Getting older is in many ways a blessing. My society might |
| 1:42.9 | like to portray getting older as the autumn of life. I've actually found it to be highly gratifying |
