Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 710
What role does the mind play in healing chronic disease?
Dane Johnson, Board Certified Nutritionist + Founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 710, to share his journey of battling ulcerative colitis to transforming his pain into purpose, why we should be blending alternative and conventional medicine, and why using mindset and manifestation can rebuild your health.
“I was done suffering because I just suffered enough. Something just changed in me where I said, I'm tired of being unhappy and I'm tired of being sick and I'm tired of being depressed. I needed to get back to normal, but then I went straight above normal and did 10X over anyone ever before. I'm happier, healthier, stronger, wiser, and a better person now than ever before I was sick.” – Dane Johnson

Power Quotes From The Show
You Decide What Truth Is
“Everything that you need to do to take back your life is the exact same to actually be one of the strongest humans on the planet. Your goal is to change how you feel about life, not what is truth, because truth is not real. It's all what you decide is truth. You get to decide what is good or bad with integrity in your soul, and you get to decide what success is.” – Dane Johnson
Choose Your Reality
“I chose a reality that I'm already healed, that my body is already healing and I'm on my way up. Instead of living in the reality that I'm not there yet and this can't work and I'm exhausted, I'm gonna burn out and quit. Every vibration, every word out of your mouth, every conversation is now more beautiful, more helpful for everyone else, including yourself. Because I believe what is good for others is also good for yourself.” – Dane Johnson
Be of Value to Others
“One of the hardest things spiritually is that you are no longer of value to anybody. Everyone has to do everything for you when you're sick. And so I took back my power to be of value to others. And that is so spiritually nourishing. What gives us all the most value in our life is how we are of service to others.” – Dane Johnson
