Who’s definition of health are you holding?
I used to hold society’s, my doctors, and my shame all mixed together as my own. It impacted how I felt and what I did on a regular basis. Because I didn’t create my own definition, I justified how I felt, told myself lies about how bad my health was and generally did a lot of settling for subpar results.
In our book, we walk you through an exercise much like Matt describes below. It’s often overlooked because the pain of a hurt belly is so loud. I don’t really blame you, because I’m not sure I would have done it back when I was lying in bed fighting back tears. So, today you get some homework. [click to continue…]
We have a special email we wanted to share with you today, that comes from someone you may or may not have heard of before, Sandi Krakowski.
Her story of battling a bleeding colon, building a huge business and having many, if not all, of the same challenges we all face everyday inspired thousands of you last fall when she shared her story with us. (Click here for the full podcast)
Please take a quick minute to read what she has to say…. it impacted us very deeply and we believe it will do the same for you.
As the owner of a very large international company that serves more than 270,000 clients, Steve & Jordan have been a real blessing to me! They are my ‘personal reminders’ to remember to take care of me, eat right and to stop and pause for restoration. The SCD diet has completely changed my life and put me into remission after a critical flare back in October of 2011.

This email really hit home with us:
“In the same breath my Doctor told me that I have colitis and had to reduce my stress… Is he some kind of robot? I’m bleeding, I feel awful, and my life is a complete mess from this disease! Relieve my stress? Seriously? I almost cold cocked him right there in the office!”
Ever have thoughts like that?
We sure have.
It’s stressful enough taking care of yourself in the face of debilitating stomach problems, let alone dealing with job stress, money stress, and family stress… it all adds up. We get it.
We’re right here with you. For those of you that don’t know this, we have to concentrate on living a low-stress lifestyle everyday. We have to live our lives this way in order to publish this blog and keep our day jobs without triggering a massive flare every month.
When it comes to stress, we all have 3 choices: [click to continue…]
“OUCH!” I screamed.
“I told you it was too hot” said my mom.
How many times did I not listen and burn myself?
Plenty.
Now I’m bit older, a bit wiser (not much), but enough to actually trust her when she gives me a safety tip.
Not everyone that we try to help is ready for our message… just like I wasn’t as a kid.
But for those who are, I want to share with you a huge mistake that Jordan and I made several times… and hopefully it will save you money and shorten your healing time. If not we will at least help you understand how to not to get scammed when you go shopping.

In the fall of 2010 I got an email from Janet, a concerned mother with a very sick daughter, Megan. She had our book and was starting SCD – but Megan was really struggling and they were desperately hoping the diet would work.
Janet and I talked many times over the next few months as Megan battled leaky gut, die-off, yeast, fatigue, and a laundry list of other awful symptoms. But after the new year came and went, I didn’t hear from her again… and I was afraid things weren’t going well.
Nine months later Janet emailed me with Megan’s incredible success story. She shared her courageous recovery, and eventual diagnosis of Primary Immunodeficiency Disease (PIDD). As it turns out, April is PIDD awareness month… so the timing couldn’t be better for Megan’s incredible story. I really think you’ll enjoy Megan’s story of courage and healing.
But more importantly, Megan is driven to raise awareness about PIDD and how SCD can help. Without further delay… here’s Megan:
