Episode Summary

If you're dealing with chronic gut issues and wondering how that connects to your fertility, this episode is for you. I sit down with Dane Johnson, founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, who nearly died from Crohn's and ulcerative colitis and now helps people reverse gut disease naturally. We break down the five physiological imbalances behind most chronic gut and fertility issues, digestion, microbiome, leaky gut, nervous system dysregulation, and drainage pathways, and share a real patient story where gut work took sperm viability from zero to over 60%. You'll also learn what's safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, why everything you eat reaches your baby within 30 minutes, and why healing your gut before conceiving can change everything.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Five imbalances drive most gut and fertility issues: digestion, microbiome, leaky gut, nervous system, and drainage pathways
• One patient's sperm viability rose from 0% to over 60% after 18 months of gut-focused work
• Resolve gut issues at least a year before conceiving, since a prenatal alone won't fix IBS/IBD-driven nutrient deficiencies
• Rule of thumb: nothing new during pregnancy, have things established beforehand
• Everything a breastfeeding mother eats reaches the baby within about 30 minutes
• Curcumin is safe long-term for gut inflammation and can continue through pregnancy and postpartum
