Probiotics are our Healthy, Normal, Good Bacteria needed to help maintain our bodies natural balance within the intestines. Scientific Evidence suggests you can even prevent some illnesses by eating foods, taking supplements, or doing colonics or enemas containing certain kinds of Healthy Gut Flora's. Probiotic bacteria keeps harmful bacteria from consuming the intestines, aids in digestion, nutrient absorption, and is a key factor in over all Immune Support & function.

Do you Experience:
*Gas/Bloating
*Candida/ Parasites
*Food Allergies & Cravings
*Constipation/ Diarrhea
​*IBS or Leaky Gut Syndrome
etc.
All of these symptoms can be affected by not having enough Good Bacteria and too much Bad Bacteria living within your intestinal lining. it is most important to first remove the Bad bacteria but then replenish the intestines with Good Bacteria & Probiotics. A colon Hydro therapy treatment or colonic is one of the most efficient ways to remove bad bacterias and toxins but how do we replenish it with good bacteria?

Falsely we  are told Yogurt is the best supplement for probiotics. Mainstream media leads you to believe these Dairy Based products will assist in your digestive health but that is far from the truth. More effective means of replacing and replenishing Good Bacteria for Colonic or Colon Hydro Therapy Clients would be a Probiotic Additive with your treatment or enema at home. Done at the end of a colonic, a final fill of Live, Practitioner Grade Probiotic leaves the colon feeling refreshed and ready for immediate absorption. You can also replenish Good Bacteria by eating healthy nutrient rich foods & juices as well as try increasing some of these foods high in Good bacteria at home:

*Kefir
*Sauerkraut
*Miso
*Tempeh
*Kombucha Teas
*Micro Algae
*Kimchi
And even Dark Chocolate

Lastly, You may be on a Probiotic supplement at home that you take daily which is great and we would encourage you to continue but please understand the difference of systemic probiotics and digestive. If you are suffering from digestive complaints and symptoms yet taking a probiotic that is a pill or dietary form you are likely NOT receiving the digestion probiotic absorption you are looking for. The best probiotic supplements for digestive discomfort are supplements that are Enteric 
coated. This means the the absorption will begin in the intestines and not in the stomach. Taking the two different types in conjunction is even better. 

At the end of the day the best way to increase the good bacteria in your body is directly to the source so if you experience any of the above symptoms a Colon Hydro therapy session with a probiotic additive is the best way to quickly and easily increase your bowel health, reduce discomfort, & increase your good bacteria.

eThanksgiving is known for being a time to spend with family, friends, & loved ones. We give thanks for the many blessings we have and celebrate our time together. For many it is also known as a time for over eating, weight gain, and stress. We often find ourselves communing around the dinner table, like we once did as children, enjoying our traditional family favorites. Although we enjoy the time with the people we love and the celebration shared we often find ourselves feeling tired, sluggish, over weight, and unmotivated to continue with the health goals we had obtained throughout the year. So we have some tips to keeping the thanksgiving holiday fun without all the back lash.

1. Make Time For Fitness:
This does not mean lose your valuable sleep or time with your loved ones by spending countless hours in the gym. We have some creative ideas that can help motivate you and even inspire others to join you. Try organizing a family game of touch football or activities like backyard games to get yourself and others involved in the physical fun. Try walking often. Take a brisk walk in the morning or after meals. Even try inviting someone you haven't had enough time to chat with and ask them to join you. This is a good way to stay active as well as spend quality time with your family and friends.

2. Eat Like a Cow:
A little different then it may sound, this doesn't mean to gorge or over eat. This means graze all day. Try to keep your meals smaller by eating off the fruit, veggie platters and salad dishes all day long. If you try this once you sit down to the less nutritious family favorites you will find yourself eating less and staying full longer. It is good for your metabolism and will help fight the cravings for the things that you normally desire during this holiday.

3. Drink A Lot:
Of Water that is! Staying hydrated is one of the most important things you can do for your body to keep your tummy full and your energy up. It's my recommendation to stay away from all the sodas and sugary drinks that are readily available during this holiday season and just drink water! Deny the juice at breakfast or a midday beer and substitute that for water for all or most of the day. Saving those empty calories from the sugary drinks to be better used during the holiday party or dinner where you then enjoy a traditional favorite or cocktail. 

4. Be as Picky as You Want:
When scanning the holiday menu or buffet table use discretion and be picky. We often find ourselves wanting to try "a little" of everything. Instead this year try only eating portions of the foods you truly desire. This will help you not over eat but still find yourself completely satisfied. Sometimes less is more!

5. Be a Advocate of Health:
Often guests are asked to bring an item of food to share pot luck style. Try taking this opportunity to do a healthy twist on a family favorite. They can be equally as delicious and much more nutritious. Some ideas like Mashed Cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes, Roasted Sweet Potatoes instead of Candied Yams, Yogurt Sauce instead of Ranch Dip, or even something as simple as Sprouted Grain Dinner Rolls instead of Regular Rolls. When you make these subtle changes people take notice and who knows maybe next year everyone will try it. At the very least you have a healthy substitute on your plate when you sit down to eat.

Thanksgiving is all about spending quality time with the people we love and showing gratitude for the wonderful blessings we have. One of the most important gifts we have is our health. So following some of these simple steps can be the ultimate way of showing gratitude for our bodies as well as keep you feeling healthy and vibrant to partake in the most important part of the holiday...... Loving the people around us! So this Thanksgiving lets spend more time focusing on what comes out of our mouths as opposed to the next thing we are going to put in it! 
From my family to yours,
Happy Thanksgiving!

Do you suffer from frequent Gas & Bloating? Bloating can be annoying, unsightly, uncomfortable and often time embarrassing. Wether you are having a hard time squeezing into your favorite jeans, experiencing bloated cramps, looking like your 6 months pregnant, or afraid to pass gas, I think we can all agree Gas & Bloating is a major inconvenience. There are a number of different contributors to gas and bloating but before trying an expensive remedy try some of our tips for ridding yourself of Gas & Bloating?

CUT OUT SUGAR-
White Sugar is a culprit. White Sugar causes candida which is an overgrowth of bad bacteria that lives and breeds in the colon. Candida causes Gas & Bloating when it is given a food source, sugar is an amazing food source for both candida and parasites. Parasites who live off of sugar can also cause frequent gas and bloating. Take away the food source and you may see a decrease in gas and bloating.


CUT BACK ON WHITE FLOUR AND GRAINS-
Like Sugar, White flour and ecsessive grains can feed candida and parasites. Again, cutting out the food source can help to reduce the symptoms. Most grains also contribute to a significant amount of food allergies. Food Allergies can be the root cause of gas, bloating, & inflammation in the digestive track. Sometimes a simple food allergy test can help you cut out these and other foods that may be the cause of your gas and bloating.


TRY DIGESTIVE ENZYMES-
Often times when we lack enough digestive enzymes to break down the foods we eat our small intestines will create gas and bloating. There is plenty of enzymes in veggies and fruits. Try increasing your fruits and vegetables intake to naturally increase your enzyme levels. Papaya Enzymes which you can find in Papaya's is also very helpful. To quicken the process, taking a trusted Digestive Enzyme Supplement before each meal for a minimum of 3 weeks can be very helpful.
