Importance of Building a Food Philosophy
Building a food philosophy is crucial for managing conditions like Crohn's disease and colitis. It involves assessing the risk of each plate of food based on individual needs, focusing on eliminating inflammatory responses and increasing bioavailability. A personalized approach to nutrition can provide freedom and choice, allowing individuals to make informed decisions about their food intake.
The Role of Mindset in the Healing Journey
Mindset plays a crucial role in the healing journey of individuals with UC and Crohn's disease. Shifting from victimhood to empowerment is a significant aha moment. Breaking free from anger and resentment, cultivating positivity, and building a strong mind are key elements. By harnessing the power of manifestation, intuition, and creativity, individuals can transform their health and wellbeing.
Environmental Factors and the Rise of UC and Crohn's Disease
Several environmental factors contribute to the increased prevalence of UC and Crohn's disease. These factors include food quality, such as the use of glyphosate and the degradation of wheat in America. Hidden chemicals in our food, contaminated water, and exposure to mold can also impact gut health. Understanding these environmental factors can help individuals make informed choices to support their healing journey.
Building a Team with Doctors and Functional Practitioners
Building a team that includes both doctors and functional practitioners is essential. Doctors can provide emergency care and support, while functional practitioners can offer a personalized approach and order specialized lab tests. Collaboration and open communication between doctors and practitioners can lead to better outcomes for individuals with UC and Crohn's disease.

Customized Healing and Continuous Learning

It encourages listeners to cherry-pick information from various health approaches, such as AIP, carnivore, and keto, to create a personalized plan that works for them. The episode highlights the need to understand and be active participants in one's health journey, questioning professionals, and building self-empowerment.

Join Dr. Kiltz and special guest Dane Johnson as he shares his incredible story and journey of self-healing from a life-threatening case of irritable bowel disease (IBD).
At 23 years old, and at the height of his modeling career, Dane Johnson was diagnosed with both severe Ulcerative Colitis & Crohn’s Disease. His life was torn apart. Ironically, Dane was being paid to be healthy, and fit, but behind closed doors he was suffering from severe IBD.
Over the next 4 years, he lost 60lbs of weight, had 20 bloody bowel movements a day, extreme pain, anemia, no energy, sleepless nights, and eventually was struggling to save his own life. After years of these unbearable symptoms, ineffective steroids, antibiotics, and biologics, he was completely unrecognizable stuck in a mental prison. In 2014, Dane’s life came to a breaking point when his entire family flew to the hospital for his near death experience from IBD complications. Dane realized the only way he would regain his life and his freedom would be to do it himself, to become the CEO of his health.
Fast forward 10 years, Dane not only was able to fully recover from this experience naturally, but has helped thousands of people around the world do the same. He has become one of the most successful IBD healers in the world but more importantly a visionary for true healing. He is now the CEO and Founder of Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle, the largest and most successful IBD consulting firm globally. His team accompanied with licensed physicians now has over 1000+ testimonies worldwide of all ages, cultures and extreme experiences.
Dane is classically trained as a Board Certified Functional Nutritionist, but his larger vision is to continue to create real solutions and systems that will revolutionize IBD.
