Hello! I’m Rachel<\/h1>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Living with Crohn’s disease for 25 years has taught me how to fight for myself. I went to eight different gastroenterologists in Dublin, Ireland, because I knew there was no way my body was attacking me. <\/span><\/p>\n

All of those GIs told me I’d be on meds forever and that IBD is a genetic condition where the body attacks itself. This is so false.<\/span><\/p>\n

I knew I had to look beyond conventional medicine. So, I trained as a Nutritional Therapist at IHS, Ireland, and I went DEEP into the benefits of a holistic approach to IBD. I’ve been med-free for the last five years, and I’m teaching my exact method to everyone with IBD.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I got my life back, and you can too.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/span><\/span>Watching my body slowly heal has been the most empowering journey ever. To experience the depths of pain and hopelessness with Crohn\u2019s was something I thought would haunt me forever. But it hasn’t. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m not carrying fear of those 20 years of misery with me. 20 years of being on a cocktail of medications hasn’t imprinted in my psyche even though I expected it to. I’m amazed that the struggles of navigating Crohn\u2019s are a distant memory. Those 20 years were the catalyst for me to take my health seriously.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I did the work that no one else could do for me and I watched my body slowly recover and heal is because:<\/strong><\/p>\n
