Systema IBD is comprehensive 1 year program designed to help people with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and the other IBDs achieve remission through a personalized, science-based approach. We offer expert group and 1-on-1 coaching workshops alongside the most advanced community of IBDers on earth.
We conducted a scientific survey on member outcomes in Systema IBD, and the results were remarkable: the program had a significant, positive impact on members’ experience of disease activity and mental and emotional wellbeing.
For members that reported results from fecal calprotectin tests, the gold standard measurement of inflammation in IBD, our members saw an average decrease from 1,589 μg/g to 198 μg/g (250 μg/g is typically considered the benchmark for “in remission”).
Systema IBD and Andrew have been instrumental in my battle with severe Crohn's Disease. Before joining, I faced hospitalizations and overwhelming symptoms, all while being diagnosed during the 2020 pandemic. This program offered not only vital education that is science-based, but also a supportive and engaging community. With their guidance, I gained control over my health and now live a fulfilling life in remission. In essence, Systema IBD saved my life, and I'm deeply thankful for their support.
I joined Systema during one of my most difficult times- I was 6 months pregnant and just diagnosed with UC. I felt completely overwhelmed and was looking for anything that offered me a “cure” or way out of this diagnosis. After speaking with Andrew, I learned that while there is no “way out” of this diagnosis, there is education and empowerment. With Andrew and the Systema community, I found an incredible amount of support, care, and connection with others navigating the same waters as I. I am so grateful for them during times of flare and times of remission and feel that no matter where I am on my healing journey, Systema is there alongside me and cheering me on.
By the time I joined Systema I was living with Crohn’s disease for 18 years and acquired many more diagnoses and symptoms along the way. My life was absolutely miserable, I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and living with constant pain and debilitating symptoms, despite my implementation of diets, medications, and lifestyle protocols. I had lost hope and resigned myself to a life of suffering, all of my dreams were put aside. Through Systema’s principles I adopted the mindset necessary to build the optimal protocol for me, one I feel confident in and that my healthcare team has approved. science-backed curriculum, and the supportive and compassionate community, I achieved Crohn’s remission, the chronic pain and fatigue disappeared, my skin is healing, and I am building a life in alignment with my dreams. Saying yes to this program and I am thriving with more energy and strength than I’ve ever experienced before. Those hopeless days are gone and I am comforted knowing I have a supportive community to come back to whenever I need.
As I think about 2 years ago when I was experiencing my last flare, I was so sick and full of fear. Desperate to find answers and find a solution. Everything I read was contradictory. I was scared. Then I found you and I had hope for the first time. Your compassion, extensive knowledge, remission program ideas, and the ability to simplify it for someone like me took my fear away. I could breathe again and get my life back. I learned so much about myself and this disease. What you do made a huge difference in my life. I am truly grateful for you and all you do. I am no longer afraid of ulcerative colitis and am so thrilled to be in remission and that I have a place to, (for accurate information and experiences) when I have any questions or concerns. This is truly invaluable. Thank you isn’t big enough.
I have been lucky enough to know Andrew Kornfeld for many years, and I love being a member of Systema IBD. I will admit at first that it was a leap of faith, but over time, I have found Systema IBD to be one of the most excellent tools I have in managing my Crohn's and other health areas in my life. I already have an excellent medical support team of doctors, but Systema IBD is still critical for my day-to-day health management. Every time I complete a group meeting with Systema IBD, I walk away more informed and clear-minded about my health situation and the steps I must take to live my best life, even when I have to cope with the challenging aspect of dealing with this disease.
I joined Systema IBD during one of the hardest times of my life. I was experiencing a severe UC flare, and my daily life was spent in pain and chained to the toilet. I felt overwhelmed trying to navigate this disease. Then I found Systema and Andrew! Andrew’s kindness and encouragement, along with his vast knowledge, were game changers for me. I dove into the curriculum and started implementing what I was learning. It took a lot of trial and error, along with many workshop calls. However, I can now look back at that time and say it was what kept me going! The weekly workshop calls provided a space for me to feel heard and understood. What I learned empowered me to take steps toward managing this condition. I owe so much to the amazing people behind this groundbreaking, innovative, and inspiring program!

When I found Systema IBD, I was losing weight drastically. I was 40 pounds under my normal weight. My calprotectin was incredibly high–over 2000. I remember celebrating how my calprotectin was down to 700… down to 400… and now my calprotectin is down to just 43! What changed for me most is that I have hope now.

Systema may be beneficial to the health of most individuals, regardless of their medical status. However, our program’s efficacy is particularly pronounced for conditions significantly affected by environmental factors, which show a more substantial response to lifestyle adjustments. Nevertheless, various components of our program, such as the Health Master Plan (HMP), have universal applicability across a broad spectrum of health issues. In the next slides, we provide an evaluation of the conditions that are currently most amenable to our program.
