I’m Dane Johnson. When I was chronically sick, I weighed 145 pounds and tried a 3 day bone broth fast hoping to heal, and it made me worse. After learning how to use fasting the right way, my team and I now help thousands of people with Crohn’s and colitis use it safely as part of a customized plan.
