Life With Danni Duncan

Women are doing more than ever, and our health is paying the price for it. I didn’t think I was going to get cancer - most people don’t. Neither did Clinical Nutritionist Gina Urlich but she was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer in January 2024. That’s why I wanted to get Gina on the poddy. To not only talk about her experience with cancer and stress but also to talk about psychoneuroimmunolog...

Imagine finding out that foods marketed as “healthy,” “wholegrain,” “high in fibre,” “good for your kids!” are now part of a lawsuit claiming that they contribute to disease. Well… That’s exactly what’s happening.  And it might just be the watershed moment we’ve been hoping for. If you saw the news but don’t know what it actually means, or this is your first time hearing about it - then you’re in...

Then one year later… She became the first person ever to run a marathon 12 months after a transplant. Dawn Mussallem is a perfect example of the impact nutrition and exercise can have on your health. But Dawn isn’t just talking from her experience. She’s a do...

Guys Christmas is nearly here? How on earth did that happen? Although maybe it’s time to leave 2025 behind 😂 To start getting ready for the holidays we decided to do a Holiday edition of Sort Your Sh*t Out with Danni and Chris 🎅 Join us as we give you a life update (I am THIS close to getting rid of the cats), why Chris is spending $120 a week on cat food and also… if Chris would date a single m...

 In the last 13 months, I’ve had my fourth baby.  I attempted to run a marathon but only got through 30km because I was so anemic. Turns out I had bowel cancer and didn’t realise it. Since then, I’ve had bowel surgery and three months of chemotherapy. And now… I’m doing HYROX. (With my husband who had a portion of his lung removed a year ago). If that’s not encouragement that you can do ANYTHING,...

Today you’ll meet Jackie, one of my incredible clients who’s just finished 12 weeks of private coaching with me. Her story isn’t about fat loss or fitting into jeans. It’s about what happens when life hits you with the kind of pain you never see coming… and you decide you don’t want to live like this anymore. After two heartbreaking miscarriages and a year she calls “the year from hell” Jackie hit...

When I saw that Serena Williams was on Ozempic - I was shocked and honestly pretty upset. I don’t care what people do to their own bodies, it’s their choice. But it’s the messaging. My daughter Harper is obsessed with tennis. She knows who Serena is, and ironically we use her as an example for Harper to eat her veggies and dinner to get healthy and strong. So just what are we teaching our kids now...

Cancer is becoming more frequent for people under the age of 40. You already know my story - a  fitness and nutrition coach who is SO specific about what goes in my body and yet I was diagnosed with stage 2 bowel cancer earlier this year. In July this year, Sami - a fit and healthy personal trainer who was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer, and told by her doctors that she was inoperable. I w...

In a world where bad news is so easy to consume, and we spend more time on our phones than we do moving our bodies or being with our loved ones.. It’s not surprising that our mental health is suffering. But did you know that moving your body for just 10 minutes a day can have a huge impact on your mental well being? Joining me on today’s episode is Sophie Scott, an Adjunct Professor at the Univers...

Yes, I really did find a pair of leopard print panties in my room. No, they weren’t mine. And yes, I asked EVERY woman in my life if they belonged to her. Write a comment wherever you listen and let me know if you believe him or not after listening… We’re also talking about a million other things like: Why a bag of chips nearly turned into the fight of the year The one thing I wear to bed that Chr...

The food industry doesn’t care about your health. They just want your money. And unfortunately, most of us are too busy trying to keep our lives in order and keep falling prey to their marketing. But not you. Today I’m talking about the biggest health food lies going around as well as providing you with options that are way cheaper AND healthier.  You’ll find out: What to feed your kids for breakf...

Everyone thinks they know Bec Judd. But do they? She’s been judged on her weight forever, called a WAG, slammed for living in a “mansion in Brighton”… and yet she’s still here with four kids including twins and 20 years in the spotlight.  So how does she deal with it all?  Today Bec and I are chatting about the stuff you might not know about her: from the chaos of having twins, the trolling that m...

Have you ever handed over the iPad just so you could have a moment in peace… and then wondered what it’s really doing to your kids? Are meltdowns actually coming about because of screen time? Or is it something deeper? Is two hours of “approved” screen time still too much? What’s happening to our kids’ brains when they can’t sit in the car without a device? And what damage are we doing long term i...

I used to hate my body. I’d stand in the mirror, pick myself apart, and think if I could just get skinnier… THEN I’d finally be happy. Sound familiar? That way of thinking will never get you to where you want to be. It didn’t work for me as a ballet dancer in my 20s and it won’t work for you now. So if you want to learn how to become confident, healthy, secure in yourself AND look great as a bypro...

Have you ever wanted to know how much other people really spend on kids’ birthdays? Well today we’re talking about it. And just when I thought this episode couldn’t get messier, Chris decided to tell me what he really thought about something… and I was NOT prepared for it.  Today’s episode is one of your guys absolute favourites: our series where my husband Chris, and I answer all of your most unf...

If a product in the supermarket says 5 stars you’d think it would be the best choice for you, right?  Today I’m joined by Mandy Sacher and we’re not talking about junk food today.  We’re talking about the breads, wraps and even muesli bars that most people would think are healthy and great choices … but they’re filled with ingredients that are hurting us AND our kids.  We’ll chat about: The snacks...

Have you ever caught your kids copying something you do… and thought “Yikes, I didn’t mean to teach them that”? Yep. Same. The unfortunate thing is that half the things our kids are learning from us, aren’t things we’ve explained to them. It’s the stuff we’re doing day-to-day that they’re picking up and copying without us even noticing.  Until one day we go “hold on, who taught you that?” So in to...

If you’d told me at 27 what my life would look like at 40… I would never have believed you. I was stuck in a toxic relationship, obsessed with how my body looked, and I didn’t want kids. Fast forward to today and at time of recording I’m 5 days away from turning 40, a mum of 4, married to the most amazing man,I run a business that teaches women (and men) how to nourish and love their bodies, I’m i...

This episode almost didn’t happen because we had a domestic about dinner… but here we are 😂 Today I’m back on the couch with my fifth child (aka husband) Chris Duncan, and we’re sorting your sh*t out. Or trying to. In between the chaos, arguments and sex life negotiations.  This is a segment where you send in your anonymous dilemmas and we provide our best/controversial (?) advice. If you want yo...

You sent in your questions… and today I’m giving you unfiltered answers. From how I sleep trained FOUR kids (yes even the twins), to what I pack for food when travelling with toddlers, this episode covers everything. I’m chatting about parenting, food, business, husbands eating KFC and yes - why I still dye my hair even after being diagnosed with cancer. If you’ve ever looked at someone’s habits a...
