I’ve had Crohn’s for multiple decades with complications and surgeries. I have two scientific graduate degrees and I can say this was the most dynamic and well put-together presentation on IBD that I have ever seen.

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 had been living with Crohn’s disease for 18 years and had acquired many more diagnoses along the way. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and living with constant pain and debilitating symptoms. My life was miserable, despite major changes in diet, medication, and lifestyle. I had to put all of my dreams aside and resign myself to a life of suffering. Saying yes to Systema changed everything. Through Systema’s principles, science-backed curriculum, and supportive, compassionate community, I achieved Crohn’s remission. The chronic pain and fatigue disappeared, my skin is healing, and I am building a life aligned with my dreams. I’m thriving with more energy, strength and hope than ever before.
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!
I am a GI nurse in an endoscopy department, and I have Crohn's colitis. I was having up to 30 bowel movements a day that were waking me up throughout the night, joint pain, night sweats, incredible crushing fatigue. I was recommended for a total colectomy, but since joining Systema, my Crohn's has completely turned around. I am living my life again. I have normal bowel movements. I can eat. I have an appetite and I am keeping my weight on. I can work and come home and still make dinner for my family.
My calprotectin went from so high (over 8000, 99th percentile) it exceeded the lab's range, down to almost undetectable at 43, which is incredible.
I was diagnosed with UC in 2008. For 11 years I had never achieved symptomatic or clinical remission, and I was having 15-20 bloody, very urgent bowel movements a day with a calprotectin over 1000. Within 6 months of joining Systema, I was symptom-free for the first time in the 12 years I’ve had UC. I was able to get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy and delivery of a beautiful baby boy! This would not have been possible without me going through Systema’s process.
