1. From Dis-Ease to Abundant Life

In this first episode of Outta the Cage, host Roy Thompson shares his story of going from Dis-Ease to Abundant Life. After getting diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis) in his early 20s, Roy opens up about the journey that led him to reevaluate everything—starting with what it truly means to live a healthy, abundant life. Through faith, functional health, and time, Roy lays the foundation for his life and this podcast: seeing things differently leads to change.
