What if everything you thought you knew about autoimmune diseases was wrong? What if gut health holds the key to not just looking better but living longer and feeling your best?

In today's episode, I sat down with gut health expert Josh Dech to challenge some big ideas about chronic illness. Josh broke down why conditions like Crohn’s and colitis might not be autoimmune at all—and what that means for the way we treat them.

We talked about how gut health affects more than just digestion. It plays a huge role in brain function, skin health, and even how we age. Josh explained why mainstream medicine often focuses on treating symptoms instead of finding the root cause, leading many people to feel stuck in a cycle of medication without real healing.

One of the most fascinating parts of our conversation was Josh’s theory that so-called “autoimmune” diseases might actually be the body responding to hidden infections—not attacking itself. If he's right, it could completely change the way we approach chronic illness.

Key Takeaways:

• The medical system often focuses on symptoms rather than root causes.

• Many chronic diseases labeled as genetic or autoimmune may have environmental causes.

• Instead of accepting a diagnosis at face value, it is crucial to investigate potential root causes and seek solutions beyond conventional treatments.

Ever wonder why some people crush their fitness goals while others struggle to stay on track? What if the biggest challenge isn’t just about workouts and meal plans but also about the people around us, our mindset, and how we see ourselves?

In this conversation with Melissa Vogel, we discuss the deeper aspects of fitness beyond workouts and meal plans. Melissa shares how leading by example—especially as parents—plays a crucial role in shaping the habits of those around us. She highlights the importance of being mindful of our environment and the people we surround ourselves with and how their support (or lack of it) can impact our journey.

We also dive into the topic of sabotage—both from others and from ourselves. Whether it’s a partner unintentionally offering temptations or internal struggles that make us slip back into old habits, Melissa explains how identity plays a huge role in making lasting change.

Lastly, we touch on relationships and communication. Fitness isn’t just about physical health; it’s also about mindset and support systems. Having honest conversations, setting boundaries, and creating a space where both partners feel valued can make all the difference in maintaining long-term success.

Key Takeaways:

• Self-sabotage happens when identity doesn’t align with new habits.

• Hard conversations are necessary for growth in both fitness and relationships.

• Words have power, so use them wisely.
