Crohn’s as well as Colitis, Physical recuperation Through Way of living, with Dane Johnson

Living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis can feel overwhelming. Many people struggle for years with painful flare-ups, side effects from medication, and the uncertainty of when symptoms might strike. In a new episode of theCauses or Curespodcast, I sat down with Dane Johnson, CEO and founder of Crohn’s Colitis Way of living, to talk about his personal path from crisis to physical recuperation and why he now dedicates his life to helping others navigate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Dane’s story is striking. At one point, he was thriving as a model and actor in Los Angeles, projecting the image of perfect physical wellness. Yet behind the scenes, he was battling severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. He describes dramatic weight loss, anemia, exhaustion, sleepless nights, and round after round of conventional treatments that didn’t bring relief. By 2014, he faced a near-fatal hospitalization. That moment became the turning point: he decided to become the “CEO” of his own physical wellness. Instead of giving up, Dane reassessed his options. He leaned into food nourishment, emotional strain management, restorative sleep, and rebuilding daily habits that supported healing rather than inflaming his body further. Over time, and with persistence, he describes a full physical recuperation — and more importantly, a life where he feels strong, present, and able to serve others. Dane is now a board-certified nutritionist and the founder of Crohn’s Colitis Wellness lifestyle. Through his company, he and his team — which includes licensed clinicians — aid clients with personalized dietary support and mindful lifestyle strategies. Their mission is to aid others avoid the dark spiral he once faced and give them practical, science-informed tools to manage IBD day to day. In this conversation, Dane and I cover: *The early warning signs of IBD and how quickly life can spiral. *What it feels like when standard options don’t bring relief. *The turning point in the hospital that changed his perspective. *How food, daily stressors, nightly rest, and social aid became central to his restorative phase. *Why he launched Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyleand how his team integrates with clinicians. *What ahealing journeyreally looks like when you’re living with Crohn’s or colitis.
