At 23 years old, Dane had achieved the seemingly impossible from his small farm town Haymarket, Virginia to reaching new heights as an actor/model in Los Angeles. Dane was featured in International magazines, commercials, high profile brands and events. At the height of his career, Dane was diagnosed with both severe Ulcerative Colitis & Crohnâs Disease and his life was torn apart.
Ironically, Dane was the âperfect looking guyâ being paid to be healthy, fit and sexy, but behind closed doors he was completely suffering and hopeless. Over the next 4 years, he lost 60lbs of weight, had 20 bloody bowel movements a day, extreme pain, anemia, no energy, sleepless nights, and eventually was struggling to save his own life. After years of these unbearable symptoms, ineffective steroids, antibiotics, and biologics, he was completely unrecognizable stuck in a mental prison.
In 2014, Daneâs life came to a breaking point when his entire family flew to the hospital for his near-death experience from IBD complications. Dane realized the only way he would regain his life and his freedom would be to do it himself, to become the CEO of his health.
Fast forward 10 years, Dane not only was able to fully recover from this experience naturally but has helped thousands of people around the world do the same. He has become one of the most successful IBD healers in the world but more importantly a visionary for true healing.
He is now the CEO and Founder of Crohnâs Colitis Lifestyle, the largest and most successful IBD consulting firm globally. His team accompanied by licensed physicians now has over 1000+ testimonies worldwide of all ages, cultures, and extreme experiences. Crohnâs Colitis Lifestyle is one of the few places a chronically sick person can go for true solutions from IBD. Dane is classically trained as a Board Certified Functional Nutritionist, but his larger vision is to continue to create real solutions and systems that will revolutionize IBD.
