The Cancer Doctor: The Top 5 Things You Can Do to Reduce the Risk of Cancer
When Dawn Mussallem was in her 20s, she was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma.
In 2021, her heart failed and she underwent a heart transplant.
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 double board‑certified Mayo Clinic physician specialising in Breast Cancer and Oncology. So not only is she giving us advice she has taken on herself.. But backing it up by real studies such as how adults who eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains reduced their risk of dying from any cancer by 10%.
If there’s ever an episode that you need to listen to… It’s this one.
Stick around to find out:
~ Dawn’s hottest take about the cancer health and wellness industry and why most people are focusing on the wrong things
~ How 3 doctors misdiagnosed her cancer (and the moment she realised something was seriously wrong)
~ Could Dawn’s lifestyle pre-cancer diagnosis have caused her diagnosis?
~ What’s more important for cancer recovery - strength training or cardio?
~ The shocking research showing exercise can be as beneficial as chemotherapy
~ Why ultra-processed foods are driving cancer rates in young adults
~ The study showing eating healthier at 20 can add up to 13 years to your life
~ How nutrition can increase energy and even help maintain muscle during chemo
… and SO much more

Sort Your Sh*t Out: Holiday Edition! Traditions We Hate + How Much We Spend on the Kids
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 mother.
The Christmas questions we’re answering:
How much is too much to spend on kids’ Christmas presents?
Is it ever okay to not buy your partner a gift even if you agreed not to?
Do we exercise over the break?
What’s our screen-time limit over the holidays?
And if you could cancel one thing about Christmas, what would it be…
… and SO much more

I’m Doing HYROX 3 Months after Chemotherapy & My Fourth Baby
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, then I don’t know what is.
I’m not built any differently to you so let this inspire you to see what could be possible for you… If only you knew.

How Jackie Pushed Through Panic Attacks and Got Her Life BACK by Doing This…
Today you’ll meet Jackie, one of my incredible clients who’s just finished 12 weeks of private coaching with me.

Serena Williams is Setting a TERRIBLE Example for Our Kids
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? If one of the most decorated athletes needs a fat loss injection to feel “herself” again after having kids. What does that mean for the rest of us?
If you’re on a fat loss journey and you’ve been thinking about ozempic - please DM me, I’m so happy to give you some free advice.

Life won’t wait - we get one shot - and you are in the driver's seat.
You can Do Hard Things.
I’m Danni Duncan…featured fitness and nutrition coach, author, speaker and mum of 4 amazing kiddies (including twins).
Online I’ve shared it all, my pregnancy journeys, miscarriages, why you SHOULDN’T be eating cereal for breakfast, how to make the perfect sourdough and helping you to see that YOU can do hard things.
The things I’ve said online have often got me into a bit of trouble, and its because I’m not afraid to call people out on their shit … I’m not afraid to discuss taboo topics and I don’t believe that any of us need to live an average life where we do what society is telling us is ‘normal’ … instead its our job to question “Why is that normal?” And is that what we want for our own life?
This podcast is going to be a space where I chat to experts (and share my own thoughts) on WHY we aren’t living our full potential.
Where you can get the facts that will help you to get your happiness, motivation and confidence back.
Taking the first steps can be hard, but I’m here to help you make it a little easier to face your fears and live your best life - every, single, day.
I will make you feel uncomfortable, I will make you think differently but you may just wanna hear it.
If you want to make this year the year that you do something for yourself, you’re in the right space.
