How Dane Johnson Overcame Crohn’s Disease with Natural Therapies

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful episode, I sit down with Dane Johnson—holistic nutritionist and founder of Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle—to unpack his journey of reversing life-threatening Crohn’s disease using natural, integrative therapies. After multiple hospitalisations, failed medications, and being told he had few options left, Dane made the radical decision to take charge of his own recovery. What followed was years of experimentation, research, and ultimately the development of the S.H.I.E.L.D. method—his signature approach to managing and reversing IBD.We explore the tools and therapies that helped Dane regain his health, including targeted supplements, herbal protocols, mindset work, and key dietary shifts. We also touch on the emotional toll of chronic illness, what it's like to challenge conventional narratives around disease, and how to rebuild hope when your body feels like it's failing you.If you or someone you love is navigating Crohn’s, colitis, or another chronic gut condition, this conversation is both eye-opening and deeply encouraging. It’s a reminder that with the right strategy and support, recovery is possible—even when it seems out of reach.Connect with Dane Johnson🌐 Website: Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle📸 Instagram: @danejohnson1📘 Facebook: Crohn's Colitis LifestyleOther helpful resources:Ossa Organics Bone Broth – use code VJ10 for 10% offBodyBio supplements – including phospholipids and butyrate for detox and cell repair - use code VJ15 for 15% off. Nurosym vagus nerve stimulation – code VH5 for 5% off which you can learn more about here. You can also download your free copy of The Autoimmunity Recovery Plan here. Thanks for listening!
