Uploaded April 2023 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
Many people have asked me about how I was able to get through medical school and residency while building two successful businesses and struggling with a chronic health condition. I've struggled with Irritable Bowel Disease, or IBD, since college, and I had my first flare when I was 18 years old. Here's what I've learned over the years from this experience. I hope that if you're going through something similar, you'll find this video valuable.
