    “Australia has some of the highest rates of Bowel Cancer in the world.” Everything You Need to Know with Gastroenterologist, Professor Robert Bryant
    Jun 10 2026
    Today’s episode is to support Bowel Cancer Awareness, and I really wanted to have this conversation because bowel cancer is something we often still think of as an “older person’s disease”. But we’re now seeing more and more younger people being diagnosed, and I think for a lot of us, especially women and mums, it can be really easy to explain away symptoms. We’re tired because we’re busy. We’re bloated because we ate something. Our digestion is off because life is stressful. We tell ourselves it’s probably nothing. So today I’m joined by Professor Robert Bryant, who is a specialist in gut health and Head of Inflammatory Bowel Disease at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Adelaide and also a dad of 4. I’m asking him everything around gut health and bowel cancer. Including: > Why are younger people now getting diagnosed with bowel cancer > Why Australia has some of the highest risk of bowel cancer in the world > Whether having IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Crohns or being Celiac increases your chances of getting bowel cancer > How can we improve our gut health without relying on supplements > The signs and symptoms you should be keeping an eye on (and advocating for yourself if you have them!) … and SO much more If you’re over 45, you can grab a free bowel cancer screening kit here. If you're under 45 and you really want to get yourself checked, the Jodi Lee Foundation is selling them here.

I also share all of my health and fitness tips over on IG @danni.duncan_ so if you want more, make sure you join me over there. Or follow the podcast over @lifewithdanniduncan.

  • “You came out crying and everyone was silent…” Chris’ Side of My Bowel Cancer Diagnosis

    “You came out crying and everyone was silent…” Chris’ Side of My Bowel Cancer Diagnosis
    Jun 3 2026
    In honour of Bowel Cancer awareness, I wanted to chat to Chris about his side of the story when I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Cancer back in August last year. But in classic Duncan fashion, of course it’s not all doom and gloom 😂 We’re also talking about how hard being gluten free has been for Chris, mental breakdowns before 40, and why it’s so hard for men to go to the doctor. Is your husband like this too?? Submit your questions for our next episode of Sort Your Sh*t Out!

  • Finding Yourself Again After Motherhood, Burnout and Midlife with Colleen Callander

    Finding Yourself Again After Motherhood, Burnout and Midlife with Colleen Callander
    May 27 2026
    If you’ve ever felt like you’re too busy, too tired, too old, too unsure, or too deep in motherhood to chase something for yourself, this episode is going to feel like a biiiiig exhale. Today I’m chatting with the beautiful Colleen Callander. She was the CEO of Sportsgirl, she’s a mum, an author, a speaker, and honestly just one of those women who makes you feel like you can do big things too. She has sooo much wisdom around confidence, backing yourself, burnout, motherhood, ageing, and building a life that actually feels like yours. In this episode, we’re talking about what it really looks like to stop waiting until you feel ready, start trusting yourself a little more, and remember that you are absolutely not done yet. In this episode, we chat about: > Why so many women wait until they feel “ready” before they do the thing, and how confidence actually comes from having a go > That horrible little voice in your head telling you you’re too old, too young, not good enough, or everyone else is doing it better > How motherhood can make you lose yourself a little bit, and why wanting something for yourself does not make you a bad mum > What burnout looked like for Colleen at 36, and the changes she had to make so she could actually feel like herself again > How to stop comparing yourself to everyone else > Why life after 50 can be bloody exciting!! If you want to connect with Colleen, you can find her on Linkedin here, or on IG @colleen_callander Visit her website www.colleencallander.com.au If you need a push to take control of your health - download my app FIT by Danni Duncan or sign up for coaching.

  • What mums need to know before trying Ozempic with Amelia Phillips

    What mums need to know before trying Ozempic with Amelia Phillips
    May 20 2026
    Who should avoid Ozempic? Who is Ozempic for? What are the side effects no one is talking about? Today’s episode is Part 2 of my interview with Amelia Phillips, a nutritionist, exercise scientist and co-founder of Vitality 360, to help us unpack Ozempic, GLP-1 medications and what women in midlife really need to know before considering them. In Part 1 we spoke about what actually changes in perimenopause, why weight can feel harder to shift, how much of it is hormones versus lifestyle, fasting, protein, and the very inconvenient truth that yes… calories still matter. BUT we ran out of time right as we were about to get into the stuff everyone has questions about. So today we’re talking about Ozempic, GLP-1 medications, healthy fats, longevity, and what a 3-step plan could look like if you’re a woman in midlife who wants to lose weight without losing your mind. If you want to listen to my first convo with Amelia, you can check it out on Spotify or Apple.

  • Recording from a bath & dealing with our own sh*t (with Em Chadbourne)

    Recording from a bath & dealing with our own sh*t (with Em Chadbourne)
    May 13 2026
    We recorded this from a bath in Bali… Em and I have just wrapped my 8th retreat and are equal parts cooked, sweaty and ready to unpack everything that happened. What started as chaos (and a few random tangents) turned into some pretty honest chats about why people hold themselves back, why everything feels so hard, and what needs to change so that people can start being happy again. Also… if you’ve ever been personally victimised by chocolate, other people’s opinions, or Bali humidity… you’ll feel seen. I’ve also already locked in the next two retreats, so if you’re sitting there thinking “I need something like this”... come. 2026 Byron Bay Retreat is here, 2027 Bali Retreat is here.

  • Waiting for this phone call was the worst hour of my life

    Waiting for this phone call was the worst hour of my life
    May 6 2026
    I got a phone call a few weeks ago and as someone who used to work in a doctors clinic - it’s never a good sign to get a phone call before the weekend. Genuinely - I was watching my kids and thinking I wouldn’t see them grow up. — If you need a push to take control of your health - download my app FIT by Danni Duncan or sign up for coaching.

  • What 5 Kids Taught a 7x Olympian About “Having it Together” 😂 ft Libby Trickett

    What 5 Kids Taught a 7x Olympian About “Having it Together” 😂 ft Libby Trickett
    Apr 29 2026
    Does a 7 time Olympian have their life and motherhood together? This is one of the first questions I asked, Libby Trickett. I’m sure she needs no explanation but just in case - Libby is an ex competitive swimmer who was a gold medalist in not one but THREE Olympics, and held the world record for the 100m free style. We’re chatting about everything, including why being an Olympian does not mean you have your life together, what it’s like going from being the best in the world, to living a normal life, and what she’s seeing happening too often with kids and sport right now (this part’s really interesting). We chat about: > “What did we even do before kids?” because somehow there was SO much time and now there’s none > Libby’s morning routine with 5 kids > Getting five kids out the door in the morning (and how that that alone feels like a huge win) > The devastating race Libby didn’t watch for 15 years… and what happened when she finally did > The shift in your 40s where you genuinely don’t give a f about what other people think of you > That feeling of “am I even doing a good job?” (and why it doesn’t just go away) > Why we’re seeing less “body trust” in women + how that all links back to kids not moving as much … and SO much more If you want more of Libby you can follow her on IG @libby_trickett.
