Outrunning Expectations: Ostomy Awareness Day

If you've followed my journey with Crohn's disease, cycling, and/or running, you know that I've experimented with ketone products (and my own formulations!) for ten years, as it was one of the keys to finally getting my inflammation under control.  I've also been drinking for the last couple of weeks to prepare for abdominal surgery and through recovery.

What can I expect at the end of the 12 weeks? When I surveyed people about the areas of their life they are looking to address with this course, everyone responded with specific areas of focus but also that they were looking to impact every area of their life.

Those of us with an autoimmune disorder, like Crohn’s disease, are in a constant state of managing inflammation and dealing with the systemic disruption and damage that can happen when inflammation gets out of control. Long cycles of endurance training can exacerbate inflammation, with symptoms and impact similar to what we see with autoimmunity, making continual training more difficult and inc...
