In 2019, I became very ill. I experienced severe reflux, which made my voice raspy and left me with a constant sore throat. At times, I would wake up at night gasping for breath, and it would take several minutes to regain control of my breathing. I went from doctor to doctor... what was happening to me? Finally, someone diagnosed me with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). But hold on, doesn't that only happen to overweight older men? Apparently not. To improve, I had to learn to take care of my gut health. I had to stop eating dinner so late. I needed at least three hours between my last meal and when I would go "horizontal" for sleep. I learned that digestion starts "in the mouth," so I had to slow down how quickly I ate. Today's podcast features guest Dane Johnson, who faced life-threatening digestive issues. He struggled with severe Crohn's disease and colitis, leading to months of hospitalization. Now, he has learned how to heal and shares his tips for rebuilding gut health in this episode. ______ Vitali Skin Care Have you heard about copper peptides? I hadn't either, until I listened to a podcast about the power of copper peptides with Debbi Barber, the founder of Vitali Regenerative Skin Care. I was intrigued by their discussion about copper peptides and how they can help soften scars, regenerate skin, and even improve the appearance of crepey skin. It's not often that I stop what I'm doing, read research, and order the products, but that's precisely what I did! And then I emailed Vitali Skin Care and asked for a coupon for my community. In hindsight, I should have asked for the coupon for my order, but nonetheless, you get 20% off your order! I'm trying body creme and skin serum. I will keep you posted on my results! https://www.vitaliskincare.com/discount/cancerwarrior?ref=cbkmpsij ____ Air Dr. I've been using the Air Doctor air purifier for almost a year and absolutely love it! I first heard about it from Dr. Mark Hyman, and even though it was a bit of a splurge compared to what I usually spend, I'm so glad I invested. Every time I change the filter and see all the gunk it collects, I smile, knowing it's doing a great job keeping my air clean! And I'm so happy that all that gunk isn't going into my body ;) Click here to purchase: https://airdoctorpro.com/?oid=17&affid=6165 ______ Connect with Dane Johnson YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf3Yhapgc2Qb16_MP7f-DuQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danejohnson1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CrohnsColitisLifestyle ______ Connect with Deborah Deborah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whydidigetcancer/ Deborah on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DebsHealthCoachKitchen Deborah on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ydidigetcancer Deborah on Pinterest: https://in.pinterest.com/whydidigetcancer/ Join Deb's weekly newsletter: https://whydidigetcancerbydeborahenos.myflodesk.com/newslettersignup Learn more about your ad choices.
