Exercise and Nutrition in IBD & Preconception

The objectives are to: 1) Assess the independent and synergistic efficacy of exercise and nutrition interventions to manage major symptomatic concerns of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), 2) Assess the independent and synergistic efficacy of exercise and nutrition to mitigate inflammation in IBD, and 3) Assess the feasibility of such an intervention in preconception women with IBD. The investigators hypothesize that the combination of anti-inflammatory exercise and nutritional interventions will have a synergistic effect on managing major symptomatic concerns associated with IBD, reducing inflammation, and improving fertility status in preconception women with IBD, as compared to either intervention independently.
