Nate Hadlock and Cat Keely-Wells, advocates from the United Ostomy Associations of America, join us to address common questions and dispel myths and the stigma about living with an ostomy.

Millions of people worldwide have a stoma, yet there is a significant lack of knowledge and awareness about ostomies and the life-saving treatment they provide.

Sharing their own journeys as ostomates, we discuss:

  • Explanation of ostomy terminology, including different types: colostomy, ileostomy, urostomy and loop ileostomy
  • Common reasons people need ostomies
  • Daily life with an ostomy: emptying the bag, hygiene considerations, and travel preparations
  • Myth-busting: hygiene, activity, relationships

Nate and Keely share their own experiences with the psychological and emotional journey of adapting to life with an ostomy and dealing with public perception.
