Life With Danni Duncan

Put your hand up if your health is the first thing to go as soon as you get stressed. You stop exercising.  You start reaching for chocolate or wine instead of nourishing whole foods And that is if you’re remembering to eat at all. Or you just don't like the idea of a routine because it feels too strict and you want more fun in your life. I’ve been there, and I can tell you that having a routine d...

Are you going for a run 3x times a week but can’t seem to lose weight? Or going to the gym and can’t see any progress towards getting that ‘toned’ body you want? There’s a scientific reason for that - and it’s not because you need to exercise harder. Don’t get me wrong, exercising is an important part of weight loss but NOT in the way that you think.  Let’s talk about it. You’ll hear: 💛 Why exerc...

One of the biggest reasons so many women don’t get their incontinence or prolapses checked is that they’re scared of what’s going to happen in the consultation room. But with a stat as high as 50% of women facing pelvic floor problems after pregnancy… We need to bust that myth immediately.  Joining me on today’s episode is the incredible LJ Hargreaves, an Osteopath with over 11 years experience tr...

Marketing has led us to believe that self-care is ‘treating’ ourselves.  It’s going to get a massage. Getting a manicure. Going to a hair appointment. Dropping $$$ at your favourite clothing store. Grabbing all your favourite snacks from the supermarket (I’m looking at your chocolate). But then we wonder why we still feel so unfulfilled, and SO stressed when the high rubs off and we are left with...

When was the last time you invested in you? Investing in yourself is easy when you know it comes with financial return. But can be SO hard to invest in yourself when the outcome isn’t tangible - or there is no direct outcome other than your mental health. This episode is for everyone who gets so caught up in the grind that they completely forget to spend time investing in their own health, fitness...

You ask, we answer. You know what time it is - Chris Duncan is back and this time we’re talking all about our first pregnancy experience and giving advice. I don’t know if this is going to be good advice, or bad advice but in true Duncan style - it’s unfiltered. You are NOT ready to hear Harper’s birthing story… We talk about: 💛 Why Chris was off eating MacDonalds when I went into labour 💛 The d...

I’m getting heated in this episode. Not only are doctors prescribing Ozempic left right and center but weight that is lost using these quick fixes comes RIGHT back. So you’re skinny for what? 3 months? How is that going for you? Tune into today’s episode to hear why Ozempic, Duromine, Keto, 75 Hard (the list goes on and on) WON’T help you achieve your goals. And you’ll end up with more weight than...

80% of New Year's Resolutions will fail before February 😱 If you’ve forgotten what your goals were or started strong but now you keep snoozing your alarm… OR you just feel EXHAUSTED, you aren’t alone.

I’m going to tell you WHY mos...

Sorry Dad and Richard, you’re going to want to skip this one. As of the date of recording this, I am officially 23 weeks and 3 days pregnant! I am so, so excited but I was NOT expecting what was going to happen. You would think after having Harper and the Twins I’d know exactly what I’d be in for this time around but this pregnancy is unlike any of my others … you won’t BELIEVE what is happening t...

There are SO many things to look at on the back of any packaged foods, how do you know which ones to pay attention to? What is actually ‘good’ or ‘bad’? Are ‘Low Sugar’ and ‘Low Fat’ choices better for you? You know that I’d always prefer you to be eating whole foods that don’t come from a packet but sometimes there are things (and days) that call for a packet.  So this week I’m going to be talkin...

95% of Diets Fail. And even more than that 80% of people that shift a significant amount of weight will NOT keep that off for 12 months following.  Most people who come to work with me have usually done multiple fads or diets in the past, they’ve tried keto or a 28 day challenge and every time they might see a short term gain but they usually put it all back on .. in fact research also tells us th...

Start today by looking at yourself in the mirror and asking “What Do I Want? And Why … And What Is that going to mean for me?”  My client today Benn Precious asked himself that after his wife recommended reaching out to me for 1:1 training, Benn had been unhappy with how he looked since uni but with a busy job, 4 year old twins and not wanting to stop socialising he wasn’t sure where to start.  Si...

A few weeks ago I posted a reel that blew up. It was titled “You are the reason your kid is a picky eater.”  This post sparked a HUGE debate about what is right, what is wrong and who is really being held accountable for their children being picky eaters. Thalia Prum, a licensed Dietician who specialises in preventing and reversing picky eaters, responded to the reel with her own thoughts and from...

This week's episode is going to be a topic you either LOVE and you’re going to feel inspired by OR you might get frustrated by.  Now if you get frustrated that is a GOOD thing, I want you to ask yourself ‘Why is this making me feel this way?’ and then what can I do next, because a lot of the time leaning into whatever is making you feel uncomfortable can elicit some really epic changes in your lif...

He’s back. On today’s episode I have brought back EVERYBODY’s favourite… my husband Chris. Our first episode together went CRAZY and everyone has been begging for him to come back (yes, his ego has inflated a bit, thanks for noticing).  Join us as we chat about our spicy adventures in the U.S (baby-making schedule anyone?), the gender reveal that went wrong and hear me get absolutely roasted by my...

Have you ever found yourself defining your personality by saying what you can’t do?  “I’m not a morning person.”  “I can’t function without coffee.” “I’m not a runner.” Are you ‘not a morning person’ because you ‘can’t be one’ or is it because you don’t want to be? Are you ‘not a runner’, or have you simply not equipped yourself with the right tools to become one? Well, I’m here to tell you that y...

Have you considered what life will be like for you when you're 70 or 80 years old? Will you be able to pick up your grandkids? Will you even be able to climb the stairs?

When I was going through one of the toughest times in my life, I was sending wine memes to my girlfriends every day. “What’s for dinner? Wine!” “I don’t need a knife and fork for dinner, I’ve got a glass!” I wanted them to validate my actions. I wanted them to say “You’re going through something terrible… have a glass of wine!” When in reality, I needed someone to tell me to put the bottle down an...

You see the couple's challenges, the fruit mince pies and the witty banter now but where did the relationship all begin? When I put a question box up to ask what people wanted to see from the podcast SO many of you replied Chris Duncan, and then when I asked what you wanted to hear from the man, the myth, the legend you all replied that you wanted to hear “THE STORY” So in today’s episode that’s e...
