| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to the Get Your Globe Up podcast. I'm joined today by nutritionist and founder of Inessa Wellness, Elisa Maroji. Today is IBD Awareness Day, so we recorded a special episode looking at understanding IBDs. |
| 0:20.2 | Elisa suffered from a lifelong autoimmune disease called ulcerative colitis. |
| 0:26.6 | Due to the high potency of medication, she actually lost all of her hair. |
| 0:30.6 | And despite being told that the colostomy bag was the only way forward, she went into remission |
| 0:35.6 | after drastically changing her diet and introducing |
| 0:39.4 | the correct supplements. Nearly two decades on and she is still in remission and has used her |
| 0:45.6 | experience to help others suffering with IBDs through her work as a nutritionist. On today's |

| 1:44.9 | ones that most people have heard of and the most common ones are ulcerotocytitis and Crohn's |
| 1:49.8 | disease. Alstoclitis and Crohn's disease are autoimmune diseases. So that means that they are |
| 1:54.9 | lifelong illnesses. You know, once you've been diagnosed, you have that illness for life. However, |
| 2:00.4 | it doesn't mean |
| 2:00.9 | that you'll be sick all the time because they are relapsing and remitting in nature. So that means |
| 2:05.4 | that you'll have periods in your life where you may be very unwell. And there may be other |
| 2:09.7 | periods in your life where, and the hope is that it could be for years where you are well and |
