📋 In this episode, Robyn Dobbins welcomes veteran firefighter and lieutenant Daniel Seedorf. Daniel shares his inspiring transformation from struggling with weight, pain, and chronic health issues to reclaiming his strength and vitality through a No Sugars, No Grains (NSNG) lifestyle. After hearing Vinnie Tortorich on Mike Rowe’s podcast, Daniel embarked on profound changes—shedding pounds, reversing hypertension, fatty liver, and psoriasis, and building renewed mental focus. Now, he brings that same energy and discipline to shaping new fire service recruits. With humor, raw honesty, and a deep sense of service, Daniel’s story spotlights the power of personal responsibility, resilience, and the ripple effect of healing in the line of duty.
