Memorial Day weekend eating doesn’t have to leave you feeling terrible! You can put together a dozen trigger-free menus from my Autoimmune Protocol Cookbook.
Startup life can be high-stress, having a chronic illness like Crohn's adds another layer of complexity and daily challenges.
The reviews for my book, The Crohn's Disease AIP Cookbook, have been coming in from doctors, chefs, and the Crohn's community.
I am 3 days into testing positive for COVID. My wife had been positive for a few days and while I was not feeling well, I tested negative a couple of times. Then one day, things progressed pretty quickly with a fever, fatige, and feeling terrible. Being on Remicade, my doctors got me on Paxlovid immediately. Initially, the Paxlovid didn’t seem to have much of an effect besides coating my entire mouth with the taste of aluminum foil. Today is the first day I haven’t been in excruciating pain from head to toe. I am still dealing with fevers at night that break in the morning, but I’m well enough to type this update, so it must be working!
A new study shows a bidrectional link between IBD and depression. People with IBD are 9x more likely to develop depression and people with depression are 2x as likely to develop inflammatory bowel disease.

A year ago I ran my first 1⁄2 marathon. 8 months ago I nearly lost my life from complications due to Crohn’s. Today, I started my journey back. Thanks for the 5k! #fleetfeetmonterey #thebigrun #GlobalRunningDay #coros #pace2
I woke up today and my book is #30 in it’s category! Let’s get it into the top ten!

Re: mental health + #Crohns. Since moving, I’ve been a bit agoraphobic when solo —I haven’t been on a run or bike ride since we got here —I don’t know anyone, I’ve had neuropathy from meds, and inflammation is 10x. Yesterday, I signed up for a 5k and got my 1st run in today 😅
I’ve been asked about the most challenging & rewarding aspects of writing the Crohn’s AIP cookbook. The answer is the same—writing delicious and comforting food people can find themselves in for healing! #IBD #worldibdday #CrohnsDisease
The Kindle version of The Crohn’s Disease AIP Cookbook is now available!

Serendipity! I moved last weekend and when I went to pick up the keys, this guy was waiting at the door!
Joshua has spent the better part of twenty years helping founders get from idea to launch and from launch to thriving company. He was the president of an e-commerce platform and helped start an eco-friendly plastic company whose materials are used today across the yoga and shoe industry. In 2012, Joshua was sent on a different kind of journey—a health crisis that had him fighting for his life. With the standard of care not working, he dove deep into researching genetics, the microbiome, mitochondrial health, fasting and ketosis. In 2018 Joshua succeed in hacking his autoimmune disease and emerged an athlete, riding over 2000 miles on a single speed bike and competing in two triathlons.
