(Podcast) Instagram Get to Know Deborah Herlax Enos, Healthy Living Expert: I was living my best life. I was the on-air healthy living expert at Q13 Fox News in Seattle and traveling around the country as a professional wellness speaker. I was happily married to the man of my dreams; I had an awesome mom, kids, nephews, and a fantastic group of girlfriends. Life was good. I went in for my yearly mammogram but was delayed a few months due to covid. I got a call back that I needed to go in for a biopsy, nothing serious, but I needed to make sure all was well. The night before receiving "the call," I was happily dressed up as a mermaid at my book club meeting. After all, when you read a book about mermaids, it's necessary to dress like one! What I've learned on my journey is early detection is critical, and attitude is everything. I might have had a different outcome if I'd skipped my mammogram. When I was finally declared cancer-free, I was on my knees, thanking God and asking him what was next for me? I felt that still small voice deep inside, and it said, "go look up the website, WhyDidIGetCancer.com "Really, God, right now?" Off I went to my laptop. I googled, why did I get cancer? As you can guess, the web address was still available. I'm now the proud owner of, www.WhyDidIGetCancer.com My new mission is to help others through their cancer journey, encourage early detection and educate about lifestyle choices so maybe I can save people some of the pain I went through. God finally showed me his WHY.

Book your 100% Free IBD Strategy Session with one of our IBD specialists For Life Changing RESULTS! https://www.cclworkshop.com/apply/?el=src-yt If you've been eating clean, trying all the "right" diets, taking the best supplements and you're still inflamed, bloated or reacting to everything you eat…this episode is your breakthrough. In this solo episode of How I Healed My Gut, Dane Johnson goes deep into three root-level drivers of Chron's, colitis and chronic inflammation that most doctors completely miss: endotoxins, viral load and mold toxicity. You'll learn how these hidden forces overwhelm the immune system, hijack your healing protocols and even make "healthy foods" feel like triggers. Dane shares personal stories, lab testing options and real-world solutions that have helped thousands of his clients get into long-term remission and start living again. Key Takeaways: Endotoxin Overload (LPS): Learn how your own gut bacteria are releasing toxic compounds that leak into the bloodstream, overwhelm the liver, and cause food sensitivities, fatigue, and inflammation. The Viral Connection to Autoimmunity: Epstein-Barr, CMV, HSV, and other viral loads can reactivate during stress, suppress immune function, and mimic IBD flares. Dane breaks down how to detect and control this invisible driver. Mold Exposure = Chronic Illness Trigger: Discover why detoxing won't work unless you remove yourself from mold exposure, how it affects your lymph and liver, and why most mold testing fails to find the real issue. Real Symptoms. Real Solutions: Chronic fatigue, eczema, food reactivity, night sweats, insomnia, mucus, urgency, arthritis can all trace back to these hidden root causes. Your Healing Is a Puzzle: These drivers often interact - viral reactivation can be triggered by mold, endotoxin can overload the liver, and parasites may be harboring both. Dane explains how to treat them in synergy.

What if your supplements, diet and detox protocols aren't sticking - not because they're wrong, but because your environment is working against you? Brian dives deep into how EMFs - from your WiFi router to your mattress motor - disrupt cellular function, hijack the nervous system, and inflame the gut lining. The result? Chronic inflammation and stagnation, all while your body is supposed to be healing. Brian says that if you only clean up one thing in your house (EMF wise), focus on the bedroom because that will "...give your body at least eight hours every night where you're resting free of all of these stressors". Tune in now to start healing and don't forget to check out the resources down below to connect with Brian, the CCL Team and more! Key Takeaways: EMFs = Modern Gut Sabotage: Your gut lining and brain barrier can be directly compromised by electromagnetic stress. What Is EMF (and RF) Really? A simple breakdown of the types of electromagnetic frequencies, from dirty electricity to radio frequencies, and how each one affects the body. Top Home Fixes: From silver canopy nets to grounding paint and EMF-safe chargers, get a practical action plan to make your bedroom a healing sanctuary. Why Most EMF "Solutions" Don't Work: Brian busts the myths around stickers, pendants, and harmonizing devices that don't actually block EMFs. The #1 Place to Start: Your bedroom. You spend 8+ hours there. Start there to change your biology overnight.

This led Brian to become a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, train with The Klinghardt Academy, and become a certified Geobiologist trained by a pioneering naturopathic and environmental medicine clinic in Austria that's been addressing EMF and geopathic stress since 1983.

Book your 100% Free IBD Strategy Session with one of our IBD specialists For Life Changing RESULTS! https://www.cclworkshop.com/apply/?el=src-yt In this transformational solo episode of How I Healed My Gut, Dane Johnson tackles one of the most frustrating questions for anyone battling IBD, SIBO, IBS, or chronic gut issues: Why can't I eat the foods I used to love? With raw honesty and actionable wisdom, Dane unpacks the root causes behind food sensitivities and reveals the real path to restoring your body's ability to tolerate a wider range of foods, all without fear, anxiety, or flare-ups. This isn't about fad diets or magical supplements. It's about rebuilding your digestive system from the ground up. This means strengthening stomach acid, repairing leaky gut, restoring the mucosal barrier, and retraining your nervous system's trauma response around food. Whether you're reacting to beans, bread, salads, or even water, Dane explains why it's happening and how healing is not only possible, it's your birthright. If you've ever been told to "just avoid the trigger foods" forever, this episode will give you hope, tools, and a whole new philosophy to reclaim your gut health and your freedom. Key Takeaways: Why sensitivities form: How weak digestion, a leaky gut, and bacterial overgrowth combine to make once-safe foods suddenly problematic. Digestion is foundational: Stomach acid, bile, and pancreatic enzymes must be optimized to truly break down food and avoid symptoms. Leaky gut repair: Tightening the gut lining and restoring the mucosal membrane is crucial to reducing inflammation and immune overactivation. Food philosophy vs. food fear: Dane reframes restrictive eating and offers a liberating approach to slowly reintroducing real, nourishing foods. The gut gym concept: Healing your digestion is like strength training, you have to rebuild your resilience before expanding your food range. Mind-body healing: From trauma around food to restoring parasympathetic tone, your nervous system plays a key role in recovery. Bonus Nuggets: The shocking difference between real vs. fake food, and how industrial toxins may be the root of your "sensitivity." Why Dane believes true success is when you become your own best healer—not dependent on protocols, but empowered by intuition.

Book your 100% Free IBD Strategy Session with one of our IBD specialists For Life Changing RESULTS! https://www.cclworkshop.com/apply/?el=src-yt In this liberating episode of How I Healed My Gut, Dane Johnson sits down with Andy Schoonover, founder of CrowdHealth, to expose one of the most broken systems in modern life: health insurance. Andy's journey began with a nightmare that many families know all too well. His daughter needed a simple medical procedure, but after doing everything "by the book," Andy was hit with an $8,000 bill that insurance refused to cover. Labeled "medically unnecessary," the denial left Andy shocked, angry, and uninsured. But instead of accepting defeat, he built a new system, one that puts people, not profits, at the center of care. CrowdHealth flips the script by creating a community-funded healthcare model where members support each other directly, costs are negotiated down by up to 90%, and you're no longer trapped in narrow provider networks or bloated monthly premiums. Imagine being able to choose your own doctor…yes, even licensed naturopaths or functional medicine practitioners, while cutting your healthcare costs by thousands per year. Together, Dane and Andy explore what real healthcare freedom looks like, why the insurance industry is failing millions, and how CrowdHealth could radically change your family's financial and physical well-being. Key Takeaways: No More Network Nightmare: CrowdHealth members can see any doctor they choose, including functional and integrative medicine experts typically excluded by traditional plans. A $3,000 Birth (Really): Prenatal, birth, postnatal, even doulas and home births are covered. Compared to $7–10K out-of-pocket costs with insurance, it's a complete game-changer for families. Predictable Monthly Costs: Pay a low monthly base (as little as $55/person) and a capped contribution to other members' needs—no surprise bills, no hidden fees. Fast, Transparent Funding: Most medical bills are funded in under 7 days through a peer-to-peer system that avoids bureaucracy and gets real cash to members when they need it.. Pre-Existing Conditions: After 2 years of membership, even chronic conditions become eligible. In the meantime, CrowdHealth will still negotiate bills and find affordable meds for you.

Years ago, his daughter battled recurring ear infections and a ruptured eardrum. After a necessary, albeit quick, procedure, he was slapped with an $8,000 bill. His insurance company refused to pay, deeming it "medically unnecessary." Despite doing everything right, the insurance he had trusted in left Andy's family high and dry when they needed them most. That's when Andy realized the system was broken and decided to create CrowdHealth, a more compassionate and reliable alternative to pay for healthcare. Traditional health insurance is often impersonal and unreliable, with twisted incentives. At CrowdHealth, they're changing the narrative. They treat their members like family, assisting them on their health journey, and managing their bills at an affordable cost. They're creating a system where the focus is on keeping their members healthy, rather than profiting from their illnesses. Their goal is to redefine the meaning of "healthcare" in our society. The sad truth is, each year, 250,000 people with insurance declare bankruptcy due to medical bills. It's a clear sign that the existing system isn't working and serves to benefit the pockets of the medical industrial complex. Frustrated with the lack of justifiable reasons, Andy stopped seeking answers and decided to build a better solution. And that's what CrowdHealth is all about.
