283: Every Doctor Has It Wrong - Bowel Disease Is NOT Autoimmune, Genetic Or Random

July 7, 2026·16 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

For decades, people diagnosed with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis have been told the same three things: the disease is genetic, autoimmune, and ultimately idiopathic—meaning nobody truly knows what causes it. But does today's scientific literature actually support those conclusions? Josh explains how the very terminology of those 3 words "genetic", "autoimmune", "random" is actually based on misinterpreted or ignored science, and that the narrative of it being impossible to fix, stops people from bothering to look. In this episode, he breaks down the history, the studies and the science to prove that bowel disease is not what they say it is.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Challenging the genetic theory of IBD Questioning the autoimmune classification Environmental and lifestyle risk factors Historical evolution of IBD research Genetics vs. gene expression (environmental influence) Remission versus cure debate   If you have Crohn's, Colitis or Diverticulitis, be sure to check out my second podcast: Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally.   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?
