You started on Humira or Remicade and it worked, then it stopped, so they prescribed you another medication and you watched that one fade, too.
Your labs came back clean and your doctor said "remission," but you still can't get through an afternoon without lying down, feeling exhausted.
You set your alarm an hour early for three or four bathroom trips before you can leave for work (and hope you make it without an accident…)
You get an infusion every eight weeks, and you already know what week six feels like, because that's when the urgency comes back and you start counting days until your next appointment.
They put you back on prednisone and you know what's coming, including the fast weight-gain, food cravings, and the "moon face" where you don't recognize yourself in the mirror.
You've stopped saying yes to things. The wedding out of state, the beach week, the road trip with the kids. You tell people it's the timing, but really you're planning your whole life around a 20-minute radius from a toilet you trust.
Here's What You'll Learn During
"Most of the chemistry that decides how calm, clear, and happy you feel is made in your gut, not your brain."
Dr. Shilpa Saxena · TEDx Talk
For years, Dr. Saxena assumed she was simply built to be sick. She had asthma, hives no one could explain, and was pre-diabetic at twenty-one. She had the medical training and still could not get a straight answer about her own body, so she did what most people eventually do, which is push through it and stop complaining.
What finally changed her was her own patients. They refused to be dismissed, and it was their determination that sent her looking in the one place her training had taught her to skip.
Her gut was behind almost everything she had been told to live with.
By going after the root cause instead of chasing the symptoms, she eventually reversed her asthma, her pre-diabetes, and an autoimmune thyroid condition.
Today, after 25 years in integrative and functional medicine, she is board-certified and the Chief Medical Officer of Forum Health, and the people who reach her office with Crohn's or ulcerative colitis almost always arrive the same way, already on Humira, Skyrizi, Entyvio or Remicade, and still planning every single day around a bathroom.
Fifteen years ago, functional medicine worked through four steps, and most practices today still only run five. Dr. Saxena is the one who added the sixth.
Inside the 48-Hour Gut Transformation Challenge, she walks you through all six, so you can finally see what has been driving your symptoms and what to do next.
Join the 48-Hour Gut Transformation Challenge with Dr. Saxena and finally find out what's actually driving it, and what to do about it.
