I wanted to get into if we can talk about Crohn's disease.nBecause one thing that I've noticed in my research with with Crohn's is how fatiguing it can be. Yes.nSo I'd love to hear from you, how you manage Crohn's with everything that you're doing and also for anyone who's unaware of what Crohn's disease is, what is it?nYeah, so Crohn's is an autoimmune condition where for whatever reason, the immune system attacks cells in the gut that it thinks are foreign. So it kills them and it can cause a lot of damage, it can cause a lot of knock-on effects, a lot of non-pleasant symptoms that are not pleasant at all and it's kind of like the food you eat is the fuel for your body. So you're not digesting it properly, if you've got issues with your gut, it can have all these knock-on effects, fatigue, nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, bleeding, all of the uh, unfortunately, symptoms. And yeah, um, it's tough. I'll be honest and I think especially because it's an invisible condition. That's one of the most challenging things and also it's a lifelong condition. There's no cure for it. So those are all difficult things that were difficult for me to process. I was kind of in denial for quite a while. It's something that's difficult to get diagnosed because it's not properly understood yet. Um, so yeah, I'll be honest, I think I always had some slight issues but it became a real problem. I was hospitalized, I had a few months where I really couldn't eat very much and I couldn't eat without feeling pain. And that was not great. That was kind of, it flares. So it can kind of come and go. Um, so that was really difficult. I think that was a side of the video, shortly afterwards, where we'd been running around filming all day, I'd been living off snacks and we arrived in Istanbul and I just said, I cannot, I'm in pieces. And so we stopped our video there and flew home, the next morning. I do have to kind of look off myself more. So in the earlier years, I was super and healthy, but I do try and make sure I'm getting enough sleep, I exercise well, I try and be careful with my diet medication. It's super helpful and I think for a lot of time I was kind of in denial and I was like, do I really have this autoimmune condition? Maybe if I just eat a bit cleaner, maybe if I just sleep a bit more, rest a bit more, it's going to go away. And it's bizarre as well because it's not like when you get stomach bug or like I broke my collarbone, it's not like it's going to stop for a while, but then it will get better and you'll be fine. It's not like that. And I think it's important for people to also understand what an autoimmune disease is. That's why I talk about it. It's like, oh, you've got a bit of a bad stomach. Is that it? And it's like hospital trips and, you know, can often lead to bowel cancer as well. And we're seeing a huge rise in young people with, uh, bowel cancer as well. My wife, who's 28, was recently diagnosed with an early stage bowel cancer. Fortunately, they caught it early. She's had surgery to remove that tumor. And is in remission. So, um, and yeah, it's, it's a weird thing to say, but don't be afraid of going on medication. Because for so much time, I wanted the mildest of medication and I thought I'm going to beat this myself. And it, you know, it took a long process for me to kind of realize I need the medication and it, it did treat my Crohn's symptoms. It can be wrong for some people, it can be right for other people. It's not a perfect science, so to speak. And often medication is given in cases where isn't needed. That was always my concern. I didn't want to be given, you know, biologically altering medication that I don't need. But clearly, I did need it. And I just didn't want to hear what the doctors were saying. I was like, maybe it's something else. Maybe it's, you know, so that's just my experience. And, um, I'm not a medical advisor, obviously, speak to your medical people first. But I think the message here is, is talk to someone. Yeah. That's the key. Don't keep it to yourself. And also, I think, you know, how prevalent is Crohn's? You know, from the research, I see one in every 350 people. You know, that's a that's a lot. And I would suspect most don't know. Yeah. You know, because to your point, it is, there can be bleeding or a pain that they don't verbalize. And I think your story is very compelling. And that, you know, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're,
