Manage episode 395859213 series 3530586
Crohn’s Disease is no laughing matter…but for comedian and writer Matt Nagin, plenty of jokes and joy were the perfect prescription.
Matt Nagin was first diagnosed with this inflammatory bowel condition 33 years ago. After all this time – and several surgeries – Matt is in full remission and has been medication free for the past two years.
It’s all down to numerous holistic healing and lifestyle changes that Matt has implemented, along with two other key factors.
Based in Alabama in the US, and an active supporter of Crohn’s and Colitis charities, Matt joined us on the For Gut Sake podcast this week to share his incredible Crohn’s healing story.
Matt’s easily the funniest dude we’ve had on the show!
And somehow we ended up with Matt rapping about Crohn’s, his toilet troubles…and disasters on dates with girls.
We asked Matt: “What were the most effective and beneficial steps you took to regain your health?”
His answers might surprise you, and take you down a road you weren’t really expecting…
