#85 You Were Not Born Broken: Dani Williamson, MSN, FNP
10/18/21 • 61 min
A graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Nursing Nurse-Midwifery and Family Nurse Practitioner program, Dani Williamson practices the art of medicine by balancing traditional and integrative therapies.
She was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in 1985 and Lupus in her early 30’s and then, not surprisingly, prescribed psych medications to manage her emotions. Not once was she ever told “your diet controls your symptoms” or asked “what are you eating?” by the 10 specialists she saw over 24 years. She continued eating a Standard American Diet as her symptoms progressed, and prescriptions to treat those increased as well. It wasn’t until she began practicing integrative medicine after graduating from nurse practitioner school that she was educated on the importance of healing the gut.
Dani owns Integrative Family Medicine in Franklin, TN, where she focuses on gut, thyroid, hormone and adrenal health with her patients. Her approach embodies a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual process to healing. She believes God designed our bodies to heal themselves in our 40’s, 50’s, 60’s or even 70’s.
Her first book Wild & Well: Dani’s Six Commonsense Steps to Radical Healing is being released November 9, 2021. She believes your health is not rocket science, and healing shouldn’t be either.

He believes in the natural healing process of the body, and that we ultimately have to rely on this process to gain and maintain health. He believes that dis-ease typically takes a long time to manifest, and is the result of a long term energy disturbance within the mind, body and/or spirit. Dis-ease can result from excess stress (emotional and/or physical), poor diet, lack of exercise, genetic disposition, exposure to chemicals or pesticides, excess repetitive motions, or any combination of the above. There are also conditions that result from injury and trauma, and these can be usually be helped as well through Chinese medicine.
