What if chronic illness isn’t a life sentence...but a signal?
In this episode of Beyond The Pills, we sit down with Dane Johnson, CHN, founder of CrohnsColitisLifestyle, to challenge the conventional narrative around inflammatory bowel disease.
After facing a life-threatening battle with Crohn’s and Colitis, Dane was told medication and surgery were his only options. Instead, he chose a different path—one rooted in natural, root-cause healing. By addressing the gut, immune system, and lifestyle factors driving disease, Dane was able to eliminate symptoms, come off medications, and reclaim his health—without surgery.
Today, Dane is recognized as one of the most successful Crohn’s and Colitis coaches in the world, having helped thousands globally uncover their unique path to healing. Through Crohns Colitis Lifestyle, he’s built a powerful community of patients, doctors, and healers working together to move beyond symptom management and toward true restoration.
In this conversation, we explore:
Why symptoms are messages—not mistakes
What most people misunderstand about IBD and gut health
How root-cause healing creates long-term change
What it really takes to reclaim sovereignty over your health

If you or someone you love is navigating IBD, this episode offers hope, clarity, and a new framework for healing—beyond pills.

Healing from the Inside Out: Nervous System-Based Care with Dr. Hamad Shirazi
What if the reason your body isn’t healing has nothing to do with effort, discipline, or doing more but everything to do with your nervous system?
In this episode of Beyond The Pills, we sit down with Dr. Hamad Shirazi, chiropractor, movement specialist, and nervous system educator, to explore why so many well-intentioned healing protocols fail and what actually creates lasting change in the body.
Dr. Shirazi shares how traditional approaches to fitness, chiropractic care, and even wellness can unintentionally keep people stuck in cycles of pain, burnout, and disconnection. When the nervous system is chronically dysregulated, the body prioritizes survival over healing—no matter how “healthy” your habits appear on the surface.
Through breathwork, embodiment, and nervous-system–first care, Dr. Shirazi introduces a radically compassionate model of healing—one that focuses less on fixing symptoms and more on restoring safety, presence, and connection within the body.
If you’ve tried “everything” and still feel disconnected, inflamed, exhausted, or stuck, this conversation offers a reframe that may finally make sense of your experience. You’ll learn why slowing down is not a setback, how listening to your body builds true resilience, and why healing isn’t something you force—but something you allow.
This episode is especially powerful for high performers, athletes, healthcare professionals, and anyone who has been conditioned to push through pain instead of understanding it.
Listen now to discover how nervous system regulation, intentional movement, and embodied awareness can transform the way you heal—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Nature, Surrender, and the Medicine We Forgot We Had with Jared Pickard
What if the medicine we’re searching for isn’t found in a pill… but in nature, rhythm, and surrender?
In this powerful episode of Beyond The Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Jared Pickard, co-founder of Be Here Farm & Nature, biodynamic farmer, wellness visionary, and creator of the Being Human self-mastery program. Together, they explore what it truly means to heal—body, mind, and spirit—by reconnecting with the natural rhythms of life.
Jared shares his extraordinary personal journey: from working on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to walking away from Wall Street, immersing himself in biodynamic farming, and ultimately losing everything he had built in the devastating California wildfires of 2020. What emerged from the ashes wasn’t just loss—but clarity, purpose, and a completely unexpected calling.
Out of that fire was born Be Here Farm & Nature, a biodynamic skincare and wellness brand rooted in reverence for the land, seasonal rhythms, and energetic integrity. Jared recounts the surreal moment of evacuating with nothing but his family—and a single set of botanical oils that would later become the brand’s flagship product, the Summer Solstice Serum.
But this conversation goes far beyond skincare.
Josh and Jared dive deep into:
Why nature and connection may be the most powerful medicine of our time
How surrender—not force—often unlocks the next chapter of healing and purpose
The role of biorhythms, seasons, and coherence in physical and emotional health
Why modern life has pulled us out of alignment—and how to gently return
Rudolf Steiner’s teachings and the foundation of the Being Human program
Why clarity often comes after we stop trying to figure everything out

This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen more deeply, and remember what it means to be human in a world that has forgotten its rhythm.
If you’ve ever felt burned out, disconnected, or unsure why “doing all the right things” still isn’t working—this conversation may change the way you understand healing.
“Everyone has fires in their life. They’re just not always literal.”“You can’t heal what you’re disconnected from.”“Sometimes the most powerful choice is surrender.”

We’re living through a moment that many people can feel, but few can explain.
The world is shifting. Technology is accelerating. Old systems are cracking. And beneath it all, there’s a quiet question rising in the collective: What does it mean to be human now?
In Episode #110 of Beyond The Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Oscar Di Montigny, founder of the Grateful Foundation, to explore the deeper layers of this global transition—through the lenses of consciousness, economy, healing, ethics, and human responsibility.
Oscar brings decades of experience from the worlds of finance, insurance, and executive leadership, paired with a rare ability to bridge science and spirituality, logic and intuition, innovation and soul. Together, they unpack why so many people feel disoriented today—and why that discomfort may actually be an invitation.
“Humans are not made for answers. Humans are made for questions.”This conversation moves beyond fear-based narratives about AI, disruption, and uncertainty and reframes the moment we’re in as a call for orientation over speed, meaning over information, and gratitude as a stabilizing force in an increasingly complex world.

“It’s not a matter of how fast we’re moving—it’s a matter of whether we know where we’re going.”

You’ll hear why:

Feeling the “shift” doesn’t mean something is wrong—it means you’re paying attention
True prosperity is not just economic, but human, relational, and ethical
Healing begins when we stop separating mind, body, spirit, and society
The future isn’t something to predict—it’s something to participate in consciously

“People may forget what we say and what we do—but they will never forget how we made them feel.”

If you’ve been sensing that something is changing—in healthcare, leadership, work, or life—this episode will help you name it, ground yourself in it, and move forward with clarity rather than fear.

This isn’t just a conversation. It’s an orientation.
