Living with IBS, Crohn’s, or colitis can feel incredibly isolating, especially when you’re doing “all the right things” and still not getting answers. In this episode of Keep It Clear, Katie and Cris sit down with Dane Johnson, holistic nutritionist and founder of Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle, to talk about what actually keeps gut symptoms stuck for so many people. Dane shares his own near-death experience with Crohn’s and colitis, how years of medications and conflicting diagnoses pushed him to look deeper, and why healing often requires strategy, patience, and the right support, not more restriction. If you’ve been dismissed, overwhelmed, or told this is “just how it is,” this conversation will feel deeply validating.

In this episode, we get into:

• The real differences between IBS and IBD, and why so many people are mislabelled or under-investigated
• Dane’s personal story with severe Crohn’s and colitis, including multiple diagnoses and nearly losing his life in his twenties
• How hidden triggers like viral reactivation, mold exposure, and infections can keep inflammation turned on
• Why constantly changing diets and supplements creates confusion instead of clarity, and how sequencing changes everything
• Why progress is often quiet before it’s visible, and how building a personalized plan helps you respond to setbacks without panic
