I’m Danielle

Naturopathic doctor. Wife. Mom. Teacher by trade, and the woman who'll be in your ears every week.

Most of my life, I was held back by my own body. In February 2013, I was nursing my baby daughter in a waiting room in Fort Wayne while my dad came out of a quintuple bypass, and I realized that surgery was sitting on my horizon too. I was over 300 pounds. Diabetes and heart disease were waiting for me. Deep down, I knew this wasn't normal. It was just common.

It took me four years before I actually did something about it. I'd tried the fad diets, the MLM products, the pills from doctors — nothing stuck. I knew better. I just had to learn how to do better.

I started this podcast for the woman in the place I used to be. The one who knows something has to change but doesn't know where to start. The one who's been told her labs are "fine." The one who's still waiting for someone to actually take her seriously.

These are the conversations I needed back then. Now I get to have them with you.
