Thank you CCL and the SHIELD Program

We found CCL and the SHIELD Program by chance and immediately saw that their protocols align with our values around health and healing. The amount of information available online can at times be overwhelming for parents of a child diagnosed with a chronic illness. Through the SHIELD program, Coach Linsy became our coach and much more to us in terms of personal support, advice, and a wealth of knowledge about what we were dealing with. We are so grateful for the opportunity to be on this journey with CCL and Linsy. With their help and Dane Johnson's vast amount of resources now available to us, our child is healing.

Dr. Chao

Dr. Chao has been a huge part of my healing journey. since I began the shield program he has helped me through every step of managing my flare, to achieving remission, to remaining in Remission. He has taught me so many different solutions for all of my triggers and showed me how to get back on track when my body starts to trail in the wrong direction. Learning, with Dr. Chaos help, how histamines and high levels of stress effect how my Ulcerative colitis shows its evil colors; has been life altering for me. Teaching me to get a handle on the triggers has kept me in check since May. Dr. Chao has been a huge supporter of getting me to remission and helping me stay there. I felt less alone during our training and always looked forward to all our onboard calls to share problems or successes ! Even though the program was expensive, in the long run I feel it was worth every penny, and I am happy to be a life long member now with the ability to communicate with an entire community going through the same thing. So I feel comfort in the fact that if or when I go into another flare, I know exactly how to help myself and who to contact if what im trying isn't working. I have more confidence in the shield program than I do in just a Gastroenterologist alone. Deeply grateful for Dr. Chao and the Sheild program.

Awesome experience!

My experience with the CCL program/community has been awesome! My CCL coach, Dr. Chao has been exceptional. My time working with him has given me the chance to see my health in a whole new way. What I appreciate most is Dr. Chao's professionalism and care. He listens and supports me in finding my own answers and then offers his vast knowledge base and experiences to help me navigate my health journey. My biggest take away from the past 10 months is how much my mindset has impacted what is happening in my body. This is where I've seen and felt the biggest shift, a change in my mindset. I'm very grateful to have had a coach who has the wisdom and insight to help me communicate with and better listen to my body. Forever grateful for this experience so far!

Choosing CCLifestyle for my daughter is…

Choosing CCLifestyle for my daughter is one of the best decisions I have ever made! ❤️ My coach, Linsy, has been such a blessing in our journey. From the very beginning, she has guided us with a positive mindset, encouragement, and incredible support. Her knowledge, insights, and practical tips on every call are amazing, and we keep learning so much along the way. I am genuinely grateful to have her as our coach. Overall, I highly recommend joining this program to make the most of its benefits. I would describe it as a university of unlimited knowledge, where there is always something new to learn and apply to our journey. We are so thankful to be part of this wonderful program! ❤️

An Investment That Paid Off Tenfold

I’m incredibly grateful for my experience with the Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle program. I won’t sugarcoat it. This program takes a lot of work, patience, commitment, and faith in the process. But for me personally, the investment has paid off tenfold. Taking that initial leap of faith and investing in a program like this can be intimidating. Not only are you trusting the program, but you’re also trusting someone to guide you through the process. Fortunately, I was paired with Coach Linsy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly kind, patient, understanding, and always willing to listen. What I appreciated most was how we worked together as a team. She encouraged me to try different strategies within my protocol, listened to my feedback, and helped fine tune our approach based on what worked best for my body. The results were truly amazing. Over a year after completing the program, I still incorporate many of the things I learned into my everyday life. I understand everyone’s journey is different, but for me, this program was absolutely worth the investment, effort, and trust. I’m genuinely thankful for Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle and especially Coach Linsy for her guidance and support!

When Nothing Else Worked

How I saved my own life.

"I once faced the unimaginable — 122 lbs unable to walk, relying on a feeding tube, enduring endless medications and chemotherapy in a desperate battle against Crohn's and Colitis."

Welcome, fellow Crohns/Colitis Crusaders! My Name is Dane Johnson, and I’m honored to help you find real, impactful solutions for Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. For the last 10 years, I have been refining the core strategies of using functional health and alternative therapies to help us THRIVE symptom-free.

This all started when I got my first symptoms of IBD at 19 years old, with blood in the stool and multiple uncontrollable bowel movements a day. I nearly died at 27 years old while taking all medications possible. I made a deep commitment within myself a long time ago to not be a victim of this disease but to create an even better life than I ever had before. Our mission is to create the most impactful program and community for Crohn’s/Colitis in the world despite diet preference, personal adversities, age, location, or past adversities.
