First of all, a very warm welcome to you, it’s great to have you here.

Now I’m a big believer that everything happens for a reason and that is no different here. We have crossed paths for a reason and I hope that today will be a pivotal day for you in relation to your IBD.

IBD is incredibly difficult and debilitating and at times I feel that only those who suffer from it can truly understand how it feels.

From the intense levels of pain and horrible bowel movements, to missing out on our favourite foods, to not feeling as though we can really travel or socialise.

To someone without IBD, it can be really difficult to grasp what constantly experiencing this is truly like. Not only is it unbearably hard, but it can also feel very isolating, frustrating and deflating, both physically and mentally.

But believe me when I say I’ve been there, I know how it feels. I want to assure you now, you are not alone, it’s ok to be frustrated.

And I want to offer you hope and inspiration that this disease can be managed, it can be reversed.

I’m now at a stage now where I dedicate much of my time to share my method with as many people as I can to help them do the same. There is nothing more rewarding than watching others adopt my method and take back control of their lives.

But again it’s great to have you here and I look forward to seeing you around.

First of all, a very warm welcome to you, it’s great to have you here.

Now I’m a big believer that everything happens for a reason and that is no different here. We have crossed paths for a reason and I hope that today will be a pivotal day for you in relation to your IBD.

IBD is incredibly difficult and debilitating and at times I feel that only those who suffer from it can truly understand how it feels.

From the intense levels of pain and horrible bowel movements, to missing out on our favourite foods, to not feeling as though we can really travel or socialise.

To someone without IBD, it can be really difficult to grasp what constantly experiencing this is truly like. Not only is it unbearably hard, but it can also feel very isolating, frustrating and deflating, both physically and mentally.

But believe me when I say I’ve been there, I know how it feels. I want to assure you now, you are not alone, it’s ok to be frustrated.

And I want to offer you hope and inspiration that this disease can be naturally managed, it can be reversed.

Over the last few years I’ve managed to develop a method to successfully manage and reverse my IBD naturally.

Today I now enjoy some of my favourite foods again, have regular healthy bowel movements and travel without any worry or anxiety.

It feels truly amazing to have my life back.

But now my attention has shifted and I’m committed to sharing my method, knowledge and experience to as many people as I can to help them achieve the same.

But first let me tell you my story from when it all kicked off…

So it all started for me back in 2019 when I started to experience some pretty rough tummy symptoms. Now I’ve always had a funny tummy (mild IBS) but during that year there was a definite shift.

I started to feel pains in my stomach, particularly in the centre and the left and I was going to the loo 4-6 times per day. But I ignored it, I carried on living trying to get by.

And I think at this point, it was just about on the edge of being able to get by, but my worries around it had escalated drastically.

And I remember going on a short walking weekend break with my Dad in Yorkshire, and at that point it was not good.

I was going at least 6 times before 11 o clock in the morning, over 10 times a day. I was getting pain on and off throughout the day, it was horrible.

Being on a walking holiday, toilets are usually not always accessible when your walking in the country, so I constantly worried about leaving the cottage and how long we would be away from loos.

It felt like the whole weekend revolved around the toilet and it was at that point I decided to go to the doctors.

I went to the doctors, did the tests and my calprotectin level came back at 1,677 ug/g.

As I’m sure you’re aware, for people with IBD, you want to try to stay below 250 and for a healthy digestive system without IBD, below 50.  So mine was highly elevated.

So I was referred for an emergency colonoscopy in January and shortly afterwards was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Unclassified.

So this is basically where they find both Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis but not more one than the other.

While I was also diagnosed with Celiac/Coeliac Disease, the issue localised in the small intestine associated with the consumption of gluten.

And I’ll never forget speaking with my consultant when I asked him “what can I do to manage this? What foods, lifestyle changes can I make?” you know. And he just replied “no nothing, drugs only”.

Then around 5 minutes later, he randomly said “but don’t eat dairy, spices or junk food” and I remember walking out thinking hang on, he initially told me food had nothing to do with it, then told me I couldn’t eat dairy, spices and junk food. If food had nothing to do with it, surely I could eat these things.

And I remember just coming away feeling really confused, overwhelmed, and with a 3 month prescription of mesalazine (a common 5-ASA drug).

Due to the impending COVID pandemic, they were reluctant to give me steroids or immunosuppressants. So I took mesalazine and it completely messed me up. I was constantly in and out of flares, and shortly after COVID did hit, so the doctors weren’t easily accessible.

So I made a decision to dedicate the next few years of my life to try to find a way to manage the condition naturally. I felt like something had triggered this, as I never used to be this bad, so surely it could be reversed.

And I remember during this point having the real fear that these were meant to be the best years of my life.

If I couldn’t find a solution, I was worried I’d feel as though I’d wasted these years and that I’d be filled with regret when I’m older that I wasn’t able to do more with this time.

So I remember spending a long time on YouTube, researching different diets and methods to really try and get hold of this condition.

I found several stories of people who had managed to heal themselves naturally so I knew it was possible.

But nothing seemed to work for me.

I followed several healing protocols and practices with 100% discipline and commitment and I became so frustrated, so discouraged.

I started to believe and tell myself that my IBD was different. It was awkward, stubborn and it was incurable.

But then I remember one day, one key point struck me.

All these healing stories I’d seen involved different approaches, none were exactly the same.

So there was still a flickering belief within me that surely there was something that would work and it was about me finding my own individual solution.

And if I could understand more of what was going on inside my system personally, maybe then I would finally find my solution.

In order to do this, I delved deep into how to answer these key questions.

Through doing this I managed to develop the Biome GUARD Method and the results were fantastic.

I managed to reduce my calprotectin level from 1,677 ug/g down to 26 ug/g. Meaning I’m in Clinical and Biochemical Remission and know exactly what I need to do to stay there following the natural method I’ve developed.

I know exactly what to eat and can enjoy some of my favourite foods again. Before being diagnosed with IBD, having the freedom to choose anything on a menu is something I took for granted, like we do with so many other things in life.

Now I’m able to confidently choose freely from a menu again without the worry of experiencing IBD symptoms, which I’m now very aware and grateful for each and every day.

I now travel with complete confidence, which is a big part of one of my jobs. I often leave my house early in the morning and get home late at night but being away from decent toilets for such a long time is no longer an issue or something I worry about.

Socialising is something I really look forward to again, as for such a long time I feared leaving the house and didn’t have the energy or drive to go out and enjoy myself.

In other words, I’m finally back in control and living my best life again.

I’m now at a stage where I dedicate much of my time to share my method with as many people as I can to help them do the same.

There is nothing more rewarding than watching others adopt my method and naturally take back control of their lives.
