Ep. 43 - The Gut Reset & Health Breakthroughs: How I lost 12lbs and found a new version of myself


Listen Later

After years of trying to “do it right” and seeing little to no results, Dani takes us behind the scenes of her 60+ day journey through the Healthy Wealthy Thrive Challenge, Gut Reset and now Gut Rebuild. From brain fog and weight struggles to vibrant clarity, energy and identity-level shifts—this episode is a must-listen if you’ve been craving a full-body, soul-deep reset.

This is not a weight loss story. This is a story about coming home to yourself.

Whether you’re curious about the protocol, feeling stuck in your own health journey or need a reminder that true transformation is possible—you’ll walk away with new awareness, tangible insights, and an invitation to create your own version of radical wellbeing.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why traditional “all in” efforts around health (macro tracking, intense workouts, cutting sugar) weren’t working and what finally did
  • What it actually looks like to do a 30-day gut reset and 24-hour fast (and why Dani’s doing it again!)
  • How healing the body creates massive shifts in identity, self-worth, discipline and personal power

Key Takeaways & Transformations:

  • You can’t heal in the same environment that made you sick. Dani explains how cutting out processed food and seed oils allowed her body to release inflammation and reawaken her life force.
  • Willpower is a muscle—and it’s connected to your personal power. After years of joking about having “no willpower,” Dani reclaims her discipline and proves what’s possible when you stop negotiating with your excuses.
  • Hunger isn’t always about food. This journey revealed emotional patterns, spiritual disconnection, and a deeper invitation to meet her needs from the inside out.
  • Healing happens in a container. From her husband to her health mentors (shoutout to Michael and JoLee) and a sacred online community, support was everything.
  • This isn’t about going back—it’s about rising into someone new. Dani’s not interested in fitting back into her “old self”—she’s creating something wildly uncommon.

Episode Highlights:

  • “I was doing all the ‘right’ things—and nothing was working. My body wanted a different kind of healing.”
  • “The results didn’t come from punishment or restriction. They came from devotion.”
  • “This isn’t about weight loss. It’s about self-trust, vitality, and becoming the woman I’m meant to be.”
  • “You don’t need another ‘magic pill’—you need the right support system and the courage to say YES to yourself.”
  • “I have met an entirely new version of myself… and I never want to go back.”
