Life With Danni Duncan

 If someone told you there was one thing that could reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence by up to 30% and help you survive chemotherapy with your sanity intact… Would you do it?

 Today I am interviewing a woman who has done just that. 

Steph Lightfoot, mum of twins, cancer survivor and badass cancer exercise coach is about to tell you exactly why moving your body… might just save your life like it saved both of ours.

You don’t want to miss the answers to these questions:

What does the science say behind exercising while doing chemotherapy?

Should ALL cancer patients be exercising… or does it depend on your diagnosis?

What do people get WRONG about movement during cancer?

Can lightly moving your body help fix fatigue from chemotherapy?

Can exercise help prevent osteoporosis for cancer survivors? 

Heart disease is one of the biggest killers of women… What should we be doing to reduce the risk of heart disease?

If someone wants to start actively reducing their risk of cancer today, what should they do?

… and SO much more

Imagine finding out that foods marketed as “healthy,” “wholegrain,” “high in fibre,” “good for your kids!” are now part of a lawsuit claiming that they contribute to disease.

Well… That’s exactly what’s happening. 

And it might just be the watershed moment we’ve been hoping for.

If you saw the news but don’t know what it actually means, or this is your first time hearing about it - then you’re in the right place.

Today I’m sitting down with Australia’s leading Paediatric Nutritionist, Mandy Sacher to talk about what actually went down, whether it’s possible to change our kid’s diet from ultraprocessed foods to wholefoods, what ingredients you should be looking out for in the supermarket and how to know which foods you can trust.

Do you want to go into 2026 equipped with the tools, strength, courage and grit to push through everything life throws at you? To be able to find the positive in situations you’d usually be beaten down by?

Then keep reading.

If you had told me at the start of 2025 that I would be diagnosed with Stage 3 Bowel Cancer.. I wouldn’t have believed you. 

It was one of the craziest years of my life but I can look at it and think about just how grateful I am to be able to touch and impact so many people with my story. And (hopefully) change so many lives too.

We get to choose how we react to things - let’s make sure that we’re enjoying 2026 as much as we can 💛

When Dawn Mussallem was in her 20s, she was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma.

In 2021, her heart failed and she underwent a heart transplant.

Then one year later… She became the first person ever to run a marathon 12 months after a transplant.

Dawn Mussallem is a perfect example of the impact nutrition and exercise can have on your health.

But Dawn isn’t just talking from her experience. She’s a double board‑certified Mayo Clinic physician specialising in Breast Cancer and Oncology. So not only is she giving us advice she has taken on herself.. But backing it up by real studies such as how adults who eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains reduced their risk of dying from any cancer by 10%.

If there’s ever an episode that you need to listen to… It’s this one.

Stick around to find out:

~ Dawn’s hottest take about the cancer health and wellness industry and why most people are focusing on the wrong things

~ How 3 doctors misdiagnosed her cancer (and the moment she realised something was seriously wrong)

~ Could Dawn’s lifestyle pre-cancer diagnosis have caused her diagnosis?

~ What’s more important for cancer recovery - strength training or cardio?

~ The shocking research showing exercise can be as beneficial as chemotherapy

~ Why ultra-processed foods are driving cancer rates in young adults

~ The study showing eating healthier at 20 can add up to 13 years to your life

~ How nutrition can increase energy and even help maintain muscle during chemo

Guys Christmas is nearly here?

How on earth did that happen?

Although maybe it’s time to leave 2025 behind 😂

To start getting ready for the holidays we decided to do a Holiday edition of Sort Your Sh*t Out with Danni and Chris 🎅

Join us as we give you a life update (I am THIS close to getting rid of the cats), why Chris is spending $120 a week on cat food and also… if Chris would date a single mother.

The Christmas questions we’re answering:

How much is too much to spend on kids’ Christmas presents?

Is it ever okay to not buy your partner a gift even if you agreed not to?

Do we exercise over the break?

What’s our screen-time limit over the holidays?

And if you could cancel one thing about Christmas, what would it be…

… and SO much more

 In the last 13 months, I’ve had my fourth baby. 

I attempted to run a marathon but only got through 30km because I was so anemic.

Turns out I had bowel cancer and didn’t realise it.

Since then, I’ve had bowel surgery and three months of chemotherapy.

And now… I’m doing HYROX.

(With my husband who had a portion of his lung removed a year ago).

If that’s not encouragement that you can do ANYTHING, then I don’t know what is.

I’m not built any differently to you so let this inspire you to see what could be possible for you… If only you knew.

Today you’ll meet Jackie, one of my incredible clients who’s just finished 12 weeks of private coaching with me.

Her story isn’t about fat loss or fitting into jeans.

It’s about what happens when life hits you with the kind of pain you never see coming… and you decide you don’t want to live like this anymore.

After two heartbreaking miscarriages and a year she calls “the year from hell” Jackie hit rock bottom.

Her mental health crumbled, her panic attacks took weeks to recover from, and she realised something had to change.

I want this episode to  inspire you to take action and make changes in your life because there is more out there for you than you think.
