I was invited by the Reno Ostomy Association to speak to their group and share some of my tips for people living with an ostomy and also caregivers.
This has been a huge honor and I’ll be sharing more about my trip in a later post. But for now, I’d like to share that presentation with you all.
This will be a three-part series, with each part covering different topics.
Part 1 (below) features:
- My Crohn’s Disease and ostomy story and how “VeganOstomy” was born.
- Common concerns for ostomates.
- How to develop a “bulletproof mind”.
- Strategies to help reduce stress and problem solve ostomy-related issues.

Stay tuned for three, where I talk about tips for both caregivers and healthcare professionals!
