#255. He Was Supposed to Die… But He Found the Real Cure
He Was Supposed to Die… But He Found the Real Cure
In 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.
