Living Fearless with Inflammatory Bowel Disease | Leanne Raven - CEO Crohn's & Colitis Australia

As someone with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), I know what it's like to feel helpless, hopeless, confused and alone in the fight. There is still limited understanding, awareness, support and integrated care, but one organisation is working to change that.

My guest in this episode is CEO of Crohn's & Colitis Australia (CCA), Leanne Raven.

For 35 years now, CCA has been making life more liveable for over 85,000 Australian men, women and children living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis – collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

As I found out in my chat with Leanne, CCA don't just offer a listening ear and support network for the IBD community, but are influencing medical research and practice for these diseases, to embrace new cutting-edge science and implement more integrated, holistic, team-based care in hospitals and clinics.

IN THIS EPISODE:
👉 What IBD is and its wide ranging symptoms
👉 How CCA go about supporting the IBD community to LIVE FEARLESS
👉 Their free IBD Nurse line and General helpline
👉 Medical industry audits and how CCA is advocating for more holistic team-based IBD care
👉 Why your Gastroenterologist doesn't advise on diet or mental health
👉 Kids with IBD and CCA's camps and programs
👉 Latest IBD research topics - diet, microbiome, mental health, exercise

If you live with IBD, or know someone who does, this will be educational and encouraging.
