This week we share a tequila cocktail with Josie McGarva! We talk about her Crohn's disease and her struggle with fistulas and abscesses. We also spend quite a bit of time talking about mental health and IBD and Josie's graduate work in health psychology. She's making great strides researching Post Traumatic Stress and IBD and health disparities and IBD. Very cool stuff and we're really excited. We also talked about how opening up about her disease and how getting an ostomy empowered her, gave her more freedom, and helped her connect with others. You won't want to miss this episode!
