Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Tina shares four key insights she wishes she knew when first diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 14 years ago. Tina emphasizes that dietary changes can be hit-or-miss, not all about food, and sometimes medication is necessary despite initial fears. She also discusses the emotional component of living with chronic illness and the importance of self-advocacy and tailoring treatment to individual needs.

Tina talks about:
- 4 things I wish I knew sooner about living with ulcerative colitis
- How diet really affects ulcerative colitis: what worked (and what didn’t) for me
- Medications and UC: what helped, what didn’t, and what I learned
- The emotional side of ulcerative colitis: navigating stress, shame, and uncertainty
