Description: He Was Supposed to Die… But He Found the Real CureIn this eye-opening episode, I sat down with Dane Johnson—a board-certified nutritionist who nearly died from Crohn’s disease—to unpack what really causes gut issues, autoimmune flares, and chronic illness. After being wheelchair-bound and told surgery was his only option, Dane chose a different path: healing from the inside out.He shares how environmental toxins, stress, and even our everyday habits damage the gut—and why most diets and supplements won’t work until you address the root cause. We dive deep into faith, functional medicine, and the power of ownership in healing. If you’ve been told there’s no way out of your diagnosis, this episode might just change your life.If you liked this episode, watch it on YouTube! 👉🏻 https://youtu.be/ZvvE-WMAHsIChapters: 0:00 – Dane’s Life-Threatening Crohn’s Diagnosis 1:35 – Wheelchairs, Shame, and Rock Bottom 5:41 – Microplastics, Toxins & the Gut Connection 10:16 – Leaky Gut, Candida, and Autoimmune Triggers 15:16 – Why Most Gut Healing Diets Don’t Work 16:57 – Smart Supplement Strategy (Not Overload) 24:58 – Turning Pain Into Purpose & Healing 35:04 – Breaking Family Patterns of Chronic Illness 36:32 – Lifestyle Over Diets: Building Long-Term Health 42:37 – Healing Is a Choice (And a Faith Walk)Follow Dane on Instagram: 👉🏼 https://www.instagram.com/danejohnson1/?hl=enIf this episode gave you hope, share it with someone who’s been searching for answers. 💛If you've been on your own healing journey and you keep thinking, I want to help other women do this!
