“Often times [SIC] when we are in a state of heightened awareness about our physical health we can tend to have anxiety, and fear can rise like the tides,” Danielle Colby wrote in the lengthy caption of her Instagram post. “I’ve been having a lot of these moments struggling with the anxiety and fear through this.”

Of course, everyone is different and Kombucha won’t help everyone with their mental health. Danielle also informed her fans that she’s “not asking for medical advice.” She’s already getting all the help she needs from the medical staff. The reality star hinted that her “road to recovery” will be a “long and winding one.”

The future of American Pickers is unclear

Meanwhile, the future of American Pickers is unclear. It may take Danielle Colby a long time to recover and get back on the road again. She’s one of the few original cast members left alongside Mike Wolfe. They were part of the show since its inception with former cast member Frank Fritz.

The History Channel fired Frank from the show in 2020. He suffered a massive stroke in July. He’s currently under a conservatorship and also has a long road to recovery ahead of him. On September 6, Frank entered a rehabilitation center.
