WHEN NOTHING ELSE WORKED

How I Saved My Own Life!

I’m Dane Johnson, a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and founder of CrohnsColitisLifestyle, LLC. I know what it’s like to feel as if there is no way out of this terrible disease. I was unable to walk, living on a feeding tube and using antibiotics/chemotherapy to keep me alive from a devastating battle with Crohn's/Colitis. Through natural therapies I reversed all symptoms, became drug free, surgery free, and took back my life without worry.

The secret to my success was 1.) Personalization 2.) Simplification 3.) Consistency 4.) Always learning & Innovating

There is no “One Size Fits All".

We've built a company which empowers to you to personalize your needs with the support of our Doctors, Expert Coaches, and empowered Community. 

All of our practitioners were once victims of Crohns/Colitis and now live in remission themselves and help others do the same. We've successfully helped hundreds of people from different countries, diet preferences, and age ranges achieve their health goals and so can you.

If you're committed to your health, so are we.

"I’m 3 weeks and 3 days into the healing program with @DaneJohnson1, and i’m not even exaggerating when i say i’m about 80% better…completely naturally & drug free.

"I’ve literally spent tens and thousands of dollars over the past decade trying to find an answer. This is it. The answered prayer that i’ve spent countless nights crying, surrendering, and praying to god and the universe to provide me with a miraculous healing. Even my naturopath was surprised (but absolutely thrilled) with my amazing progress, during our appointment today. Over the past 10 years, dozens of doctors and specialists told me that i’d have to live with pain and misery my entire life, and to keep taking the medications that were literally poisoning my body and making me wayyy worse.

"And it made zero sense to me to take drugs whose side effects were the exact same symptoms I was suffering from in the first place, and was keeping me sick, AND making me sicker. Seriously, in what world does this possibly make sense!?

"And the other meds they were pushing me to take instead were biologics that damage DNA and are infamous for causing cancer. I personally refused to go down that road, and they said i would die if i didn’t But honestly, i road, and they said i would die if i didn’t. But honestly, i never trusted that to be true at all, and i followed my own intuition and guidance and decided to take another path, more suitable for me.

"Not to be stubborn (although i totally am) but because i had undeniable FAITH that i could and would heal fro this naturally and holistically, and I knew my body hates drugs and responds better to natural remedies anyway. And most importantly, I NEVER gave up!

"Never let anyone tell you that you can’t do what your heart and soul is encouraging you to do. It isn’t always easy but it’s 10000000% worth it!!! #Faith #CrohnsCrusader"
