In 2006, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Crohn's is an incurable inflammatory disease of the digestive tract. My case was severe, and required over a dozen daily medications and several hospital visits. After reaching a personal low point in hospital, I decided I would do everything in my power to strengthen my by then weakened body. Through a combination of yoga, nutrition, natural supplements and rigorous exercise (Ironman and Crossfit) I was able to fight back the symptoms of Crohn's until I was finally able to suspend my medication. Eventually I was declared free of all traces of the 'incurable' disease, and competed in Ironman France in June of 2011. I have since spoken at seminars and at a regional TED Talk about my struggle against a seemingly insurmountable opponent. Through the process of data collection, self tracking, and analysis, I developed Less Doing. This was a way of dealing with the daily stresses of life by optimizing, automating, and outsourcing all of my tasks in life and business.

A year in the making, Sandra Ramacher has released Healing Foods: Cooking for Celiacs, Colitis, Crohns and IBS, a visually stunning and intelligently written cookbook. It is specifically designed to please and inspire all those who suffer from these debilitating intestinal diseases, as well as those who already live happier lives thanks to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (TM). This book strictly adheres to the diet prescribed by Elaine Gottschall in her revolutionary book Breaking The Vicious Cycle. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is a strict grain-free, lactose-free, and sucrose-free dietary regimen intended for those suffering from Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The SCDiet has proven to be highly successful for many who suffer from various bowel disorders as well as the many related problems which actually stem from imbalances in the intestinal tract. The diet was first proposed by Dr. Sydney Haas and brought to public attention by Elaine Gottschall, a biochemist who researched the diet to help heal her daughter who was suffering from severe ulcerative colitis. Her book Breaking The Vicious Cycle has sold over 1 million copies and relieved suffering for countless thousands.
Gary ‘Bendy’ Benzies was in his late forties when everything got on top. 30kg overweight, suffering from the debilitating Crohn’s disease, he spent the vast majority of his time either sat on the toilet or wondering where the next one was. And when he needed one, he needed one urgently. His knees ached, he had intolerable reflux and rattled with medication. He couldn’t travel and became a miserable recluse who could barely keep it together enough to work. Relationships were just about to snap and everything around him was falling down. Told “this was his lot” and to “just take the medication” by the medical fraternity he decided one day that enough was enough. If this was the way his life was going to go it was almost not worth living. There had to be a way back. And one day, thanks to the luminous running shoes he’d bought years earlier, he found an epiphany. This is the story of an everyday senior copper who did what he’d done for thirty years in his day job - started a journey to find the truth. Through massive lifestyle changes and years of research he found himself and healed. It is written in typical policing fashion. Hard hitting, with a dark humour and totally real. It will make you laugh, reminisce and maybe even cry. This is an empowering and enlightening book for anyone suffering from life changing chronic illness who wants to return to the child within. Now in his mid-fifties, symptom and medication free for many years and fitter, healthier and stronger than he was in his thirties, Gary tells where society has gone wrong and let us down and how we can find a way back and how you can have your cake and eat it.
