Most women get colonics when they’re desperate. Permanently constipated, permanently bloated, planning my whole day around when and where you might actually poop.

That was before I fixed my gut. Before I fixed my hormones. I thought maybe colon hydrotherapy was the answer and not just a very expensive rinse.

Here’s the truth. If you're only going every other day, your liver is packaging up your estrogen and sending it out, and you're not letting it leave. Which is why the bloating after meals, the weight that won't move, the three months pregnant look by 3pm, none of it responds to another probiotic or another elimination diet.

So in this one I'm telling you exactly what a colonic and an enema actually do, what happens in the room, who should never do either, and the 5 gut stats I run every woman through to find out whether her problem is constipation or something living a lot further upstream.

Plus the client who did enemas for 15 years because it was the only way she'd go. Clear scope, normal stool test, and five things on her labs that no colonic was ever going to reach.

You're not broken. You're backed up in a place the hose doesn't go.
