Life With Danni Duncan

If you’ve ever looked at your skin, your period, your mood or your bloat and wondered what is going on with my body… Then this one’s for you. After being diagnosed with cancer, I started questioning everything. My skincare, my shampoo, my perfume, my cleaning products.  And if I’m completely honest, it’s sent me down a rabbit hole I can’t unsee. So today, I brought in the big guns: Nat Kringous -...

If you think cancer would be the thing that slows me down… You don’t know me very well. I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in May but instead of curling into a ball and asking “why me?” I did what I always do. I got back up. And I kept going. Today I’m talking about how I’m staying positive even though I’m going through one of the hardest moments in my life. You’ll hear: How I still managed to go t...

I saw a post on IG the other day… a dietician recommending ultraprocessed foods for children. Guys, I’ve said this before and I’m going to keep saying it. This… is not good enough. This isn’t just about a fish finger and a piece of white bread. It’s about the messaging we’re giving parents. That’s ‘its good enough.’  But if we want our kids to thrive and not just survive… we have to do better. So...

If you had told me last time Chris was on the poddy that I would: Have been diagnosed with Bowel Cancer when we thought I was just anemic Have to stop breastfeeding London Be starting chemotherapy (for 3 months!) Have gone viral for the whole thing on social media (and have since done so many interviews…) I wouldn’t have believed you. So today’s episode is a much needed, much overdue catch up with...

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll do it when things calm down”... please, listen to this first. When I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in May - I was shocked to say the least. I’m one of the healthiest people I know.  I train. I eat clean. I don’t smoke. I don’t binge drink. I make my own bloody sourdough. I spoke about it on Instagram and since then, my social media has blown up. I’ve been on the new...

We’ve been told juice is healthy… but most of what’s sitting on supermarket shelves is more sugar water than fruit. In this episode, I’m joined by the founders of Nectar Cold Pressed, two mums (Jacinta and Kym) who got fed up with juice that has little nutritional value and decided to do something about it. So if you’ve ever been confused by juice labels or wondered if juice has any place in a hea...

How do we actually raise kind, respectful and confident kids without smacking, screaming or alternatively… letting them walk all over us? Because the truth is - most of us don’t want to raise our kids the way we were brought up. But most of us also don’t know what the alternative looks like when you have a 3 year old screaming and a 6 year old giving you the attitude of a teenager. So in today’s e...

Most people give up right before it becomes easier. This is actually an episode I recorded a little while ago, because I was in surgery when I needed to record.  But honestly, with everything going on… It’s more relevant than ever. So if you heard my recent update and want to make sure that you’re doing everything in your power to stay healthy for your family and your grandchildren, then this epis...

No family history. No obvious symptoms. Just a gut feeling that something wasn’t right. In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how I found out I had bowel cancer, the signs I missed along the way and why this has been brewing since I was a child. Guys, this is why we have to stop giving our kids ultra processed foods. If you need a push to take control of your health - download my app Fit By The Fig...

Two months after finishing 58 marathons, in 58 days, in 58 states, Lachlan Stuart is back on the podcast to tell us everything that went down. From the mental struggle that happened when he got injured at the VERY start of his journey, as well as the scary moment that made him think he might be the next ‘missing person’ in a small U.S town… The reason this episode is so important is not because we...

This episode is a public service announcement… Because if I see one more “weight loss tips” post from a mum’s group, I’m going to lose my mind. Weight does NOT equal fat loss. There, I said it. The scales are lying to you. The industry is confusing the hell out of you. And half the advice out there on social media is setting you up to fail. So let’s talk about how to lose fat, and lose it FOR GOOD...

You’ve seen the reels. You’ve heard the Tik Tok rants. Apparently seed oils are going to kill us all. But… are they?

In today’s episode I’m diving into one of the biggest conversations I have with my clients, and one everyone needs to hear. So if you’ve ever: Felt overwhelmed just trying to do the basics Keep stopping and star...

As you know I’m a mum of four, I run a business, I’m training and sweating most days. Like many of you I want to take care of my skin but I don't have time for a 20 step 2 hour routine …  So this week I sat down with Antipodes Skincare founder Elizabeth Barbalich about whether we actually need the 20 step routines and why understanding your hormones could be the game changer that finally fixes you...

I made a reel, it blew up and people came for me. Including one particular follower who blocked me, posted about me on her stories, and was quite frankly, way too snarky. It was all about the 6 foods that I wouldn’t eat again, which you can watch here. Now guys, you don’t have to be a nutritionist to learn what is good for you and what you shouldn’t be putting in your body. That’s why I make this...

I am always being asked “should I be prioritising cardio or strength training” and the answer is not as straightforward as you may think (or want). 😬  Today we’ll dive into the pros and cons of both and decide once and for all what is most important for YOU and YOUR body… Stick around to find out: Which exercise ACTUALLY burns more fat AND lets you eat more How much muscle mass you’re losing each...

Every time I post about kids’ nutrition, the internet seems to lose its mind. I’m accused of fear mongering, not having adequate qualifications (I do btw), and just general keyboard warrior nonsense. So I thought – what better than to bring on a Paediatric Dietician? Today I’m sitting down with Karina Savage, who has over 23 years clinical experience (and 10 years in a children’s hospital) to chat...

There are a lot of coaches at the moment telling you that you can eat ANYTHING you like - as long as you’re in a calorie deficit or the macros stack up.  And the next time you see one of these … mentally, tell them to f**k off.  Because although calories are important they are NOT the only thing you should be focusing on.. Today I’m telling you:  How calories work especially if you want to lose we...

There is A LOT of conflicting advice out there around breastfeeding. “Breastfeeding make the weight just fall off” “Breastfeeding is NOT a time to focus on losing weight” “You can eat whatever you want when breastfeeding + you NEED to increase your calories” Okay… but which one is it? So if you’re feeling lost and wondering if you’re eating enough, eating too much, or why your body isn’t “bouncing...
