Living with one disease is bad enough, but living with two adds more than two times the complexity. As a young man, Aaron Blocker was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease after years of coping with strange and seemingly disconnected signs and symptoms. He continued to have problems which resulted in two hip replacements that were blamed on prednisone. However, after one of those hip replacements became dislocated, Aaron went looking for more answers and wound up suspecting that he also had an ultra-rare condition called hypophosphatasia.

On today’s podcast we’re discussing healing approaches to Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
My guest is Dane Johnson, a speaker, author, and Holistic Nutritionist who naturally recovered from a near death experience battling Crohn’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis. He is the founder of CrohnsColitisLifestyle and Co-founder of the non-profit, EfundyourHealth with the mission to empower the Crohn’s/Colitis community and bring alternative options to our healthcare system.
Dane used a combination of healing approaches to eliminate his symptoms, medication use, avoid all surgeries and regain 55 pounds of lean body weight. He now helps others suffering from Crohn’s/Colitis to do the same through his S.H.I.E.L.D. program.
In this interview, Dane shares his healing journey and struggles with his health, skin and life’s path, and he explains how he was able to overcome these challenges despite what doctors told him. He also shares how he now help support others with Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis on their healing journey.
