What if Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are caused by more than genetics alone?

Dr. Yusuf “JP” Saleeby, IMA Senior Fellow in Functional and Integrative Medicine, was joined by gut health specialist Josh Dech for a closer look at what may contribute to inflammatory bowel disease, also known as IBD. The two recently co-authored a new paper published in the Journal of Independent Medicine.

They discussed:

• Why the usual explanation of IBD may not tell the whole story

• How food, environment, and gut bacteria may affect inflammation

• Why having a certain gene does not always mean someone will develop IBD

• Why IBD rates can rise when families move to a new country

• Whether the immune system may be reacting to something in the gut

• New research on ultra-processed foods and IBD risk

The conversation explored how genetics, diet, gut health, and the environment may work together to affect Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
