“Your body isn’t just quitting. It’s recovering.”
In Episode 5 of Breathe Free: The Smoking Release Activation, Dr. Gary Danko shifts the focus from mindset to body. You’ve already started breaking the habit on the subconscious level—now it’s time to support your body’s natural recovery with purpose. This is about healing after quit smoking.
This episode explores what healing after quitting smoking really looks like—physically, emotionally, and energetically. You’ll learn what happens to your lungs, brain, blood pressure, and immune system as soon as you stop smoking, and how you can accelerate that healing with simple but powerful daily habits.
Dr. Danko introduces essential nutrition and hydration strategies to nourish your lungs and nervous system. Discover how vitamin-rich foods, omega-3s, and antioxidants help detoxify your body and reduce cravings. You’ll also learn the value of daily hydration and gentle movement, like walking or deep breathing, to flush toxins and bring oxygen back into your cells.
This isn’t about restriction—it’s about restoration. Smoking depleted your body. Now, you’re replenishing it.
As Dr. Danko says, “Your body isn’t just quitting. It’s recovering.” And with every healthy choice you make, you’re reinforcing your new identity as someone who values clarity, vitality, and freedom.
Listeners are invited to choose one healthy action—drink more water, eat something green, move your body—and share it in the community at drgarydanko.com/community. These micro-shifts, when done with intention, create macro results over time.
This episode reminds you that quitting smoking is not an ending—it’s a beginning. With healing after quit smoking, your body gets stronger, your energy returns, and you remember what it feels like to be whole again.
This isn’t just about stopping something harmful. It’s about becoming someone who is deeply, vibrantly alive.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
