Conquer Crohn’s, Colitis, and Digestive Diseases Long before Jordan Rubin became one of America’s most respected natural health experts, Crohn's disease nearly ended his life. A once-healthy teenager, Jordan suffered the debilitating effects of the painful and potentially fatal wasting intestinal illness. In desperation, he consulted more than seventy medical experts in seven countries, and tried hundreds of nutritional supplements, with no improvement. Finally, Jordan researched and developed a revolutionary wellness program based on a more health-promoting diet, including the use of fermented foods, bone broths, and soil-based organisms (SBOs), an often-overlooked but critical component of our ancestors' primitive diet. Within months, Jordan’s health improved. Years later, he remains free of disease or medications. He calls his regimen the Guts and Glory Program, but if you suffer from Crohn's or any of a host of other digestive or systemic disorders, you'll call it amazing.
