The Colitis Healing Path
The Colitis Healing Path exists to support and empower people living with ulcerative colitis to reclaim control over their health, mindset, and life—no matter what path they’re on.
Through real stories, evidence-informed health practices, emotional support, and simple daily tools, this show is here to guide individuals to rediscover hope, reconnect with their inner strength, and explore the many ways healing can happen.
Whether you're pursuing natural methods, conventional treatments, or a blend of both—you're welcome here.
The show is hosted by Marc McLean, a health and wellness journalist, author, and gut health coach who overcame ulcerative colitis and has been medication-free for six years.

75 | Your Gut's NOT Broken: What Your Symptoms Are Really Trying to Tell You | Keila Barnard
What if your gut issues or autoimmune symptoms were more than physical—what if they were messages from your body?
In this episode, I speak with trauma expert and transformational coach Keila Barnard about how unresolved emotional wounds often manifest as chronic illness, particularly conditions like ulcerative colitis.
Keila shares how trauma disrupts the body’s natural balance, why many of us disconnect from our true selves, and how symptoms can be a call to listen rather than suppress.
We explore the idea that healing begins with curiosity, compassion, and reconnecting with your body’s signals.
If you’ve ever felt that your health struggles have deeper roots, this conversation is for you.
