Mental Health and Autoimmune Disease

Welcome to you if you hopped over from Facebook after I mentioned this podcast People don't always know how much diet and lifestyle can help you. I wasn't expecting some hate on how well I am, simply because I am in remission. But I feel so sad for the person who commented "You can't have been that bad then" If you feel I can help, reach out: Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/louiseusherwrites Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/louiseusher Blog: http://www.louiseusher.co.uk (blog) Nutrition: http://lusherlifenutrition.blogspot.co.uk Instagram:http://www.instagram.com/lusher.life Pintrest: https://uk.pinterest.com/lusherlife/ *Podcast: https://geo.itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/autoimmune-diet-and-me/id1023129375?at=1001l626&mt=2&ls=1 Books: My amazon author page: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Louise-Usher/e/B00C1KEE5E Recommended books for your Lusher Life: http://astore.amazon.co.uk/lusherlifefavouritebooks-21 Email: [email protected] Motivational Merch: Mugs, t-shirts and stuff http://www.cafepress.co.uk/profile/108959736

🎙 Autoimmune Life | Episode Title: GLP-1 Drugs and IBD – What You Need to Know In this episode of Autoimmune Life, we dive into the hot topic of GLP-1 receptor weight loss medications—like Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy—and their implications for people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. As someone navigating the autoimmune journey, I break down why these widely discussed drugs may not be suitable—or even prescribed—for those of us with IBD. We explore the science, the risks, and the critical conversations happening between patients and doctors. Whether you’re living with IBD, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about how weight loss medications intersect with chronic illness, this episode offers an honest, informative look at an issue that’s gaining traction in the autoimmune community. 👉 Call to Action Time: 📘 Grab a copy of my book on Amazon—just search for Look an Elephant in the Eye. ⭐ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a five-star review—it really helps more people find the show. 🎧 Don’t miss my other podcast, A Lusher Life, where I explore travel, nutrition, and thriving with autoimmune conditions. 🔗 Follow along on all the links below for more content, updates, and ways to connect.
