Matan Hakimi: Healing From the Gut
Sat Dec 06 2025
In this episode of Treatment Room Secrets, host Dani Marks sits down with Israeli health podcaster Matan Hakimi for a raw and honest conversation about health, healing, personal responsibility, and breaking away from the mainstream narrative.
Matan shares his powerful story of living with ulcerative colitis for eight years, relying on daily medications, and feeling trapped inside a body that was constantly inflamed and out of balance. His journey takes us from military service, to a stressful life in New York, to a moment of unexpected clarity when a healer offered a completely different perspective on his condition.
Throughout the conversation, Dani and Matan explore what it means to question conventional medical advice, how self-improvement and discipline shape healing, and why symptoms should be seen as messages rather than problems to silence. They discuss chronic illness, emotional stress, lifestyle disease, authenticity in podcasting, and the fear many people face when confronting their own patterns and habits.
This episode is a deep dive into natural health, personal development, resilience, and the courage required to take true ownership of your wellbeing. It is an inspiring story for anyone feeling stuck in their health journey or searching for a more aligned, embodied path forward.Subscribe for more unfiltered conversations with health leaders, therapists, coaches, and practitioners from around the world.
