Crohn's Disease is a chronic disorder which causes inflammation within the digestive tract, anywhere from the mouth to the anus. Because the symptoms of Crohn’s Disease are similar to other intestinal disorders, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Ulcerative Colitis, it can be difficult to diagnose. About 20 percent of people with Crohn's Disease have a blood relative with some type of inflammatory bowel disease. It is estimated that about 500,000 Americans are living with the disease with many undiagnosed. In 2002, the National Center for Health Statistics estimated that of the 169,000 inflammatory bowel disease hospitalizations in the US, 62% of these were due to people with Crohn's Disease. Crohn's disease can occur in people of all age groups, but is most often diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 30.

While being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at any age can be hard to take, given the young age which many people first discover it, however, can lead to depressed and angry feelings about it. This affects many young people socially, physically, and emotionally. However, unlike many others, one young Crohn's Disease sufferer, Josh Golder refused to succumb to negativity and used his disease to re-evaluate his life and his approach to it. His journey starts by being diagnosed with the disease at a young age, and entering high school at 5'10" weighing only 90 pounds. What follows from this gloom state is almost unremarkable. Josh decided that he could either live his life in his mentally-depressed state, feeling sorry for himself, or he could make the best of it. Choosing the later, he began to stop feeling sorry for himself, began working out with weights (and subsequently gaining muscle and healthy bodyweight), and noticed his confidence soar. Years later, he truly made a remarkable turnaround by creating a film documentary to showcase how he was able to be proactive and take control of his life. He wanted to inspire others who have the Crohn's Disease how they too can take steps to mentally push through it through inspirational stories from other suffers to make the most out of their lives.
