Living in the Moment celebrates real stories of resilience, connection, and hope for people living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

When Allyssa’s health took her out of the gym and into a hospital bed, she wasn’t sure she’d ever return to the sport she loved.

Today, she’s back on the beam, competing, coaching, and enjoying life. Her story is a reminder that there is life beyond a diagnosis — and that a better health, brighter future is possible.
