How to Support IBS and IBD Remission: 5 Key Strategies from Dane Johnson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Autoimmune RESET Podcast, I’m joined once again by Dane Johnson, founder of Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle, to explore what it really takes to move beyond symptom management and create long-term remission.
After nearly losing his life to Crohn’s and colitis complications, Dane rebuilt his health and has now been medication-free and in remission for over 10 years. Today, he helps others understand the deeper factors that may be driving chronic inflammation.
We discuss why medication can be an important tool, but why supporting the foundations of health is key — including digestion, the gut microbiome, the intestinal barrier, nervous system regulation and detoxification pathways.
We also explore hidden triggers that may keep the immune system activated, including infections, mould exposure, toxins and chronic stress, as well as why creating a healthier home environment can support recovery.
In this episode we cover:
• The five areas Dane believes are essential for staying in remission
• Why gut health influences autoimmune conditions beyond IBD
• How stress and the nervous system impact healing
• The importance of tracking your own symptoms and becoming the “CEO” of your health
• Simple daily strategies to support resilience and long-term wellbeing
Whether you are living with Crohn’s, colitis, IBS, alopecia, Hashimoto’s or another autoimmune condition, this conversation will help you understand the bigger picture behind immune health and rebuilding balance.
