The Colonic Coach: Colonic Healthcare in Townsville

Since ancient times, medical professionals have understood the immense power the gut has when it comes to regulating wellbeing, as well as the importance of a healthy colon. The Egyptians referred to the colon as “A River of Life or a River of Death.” They determined whether one has a body of life or a body of death by observing what floats down one’s internal river (the colon). Hippocrates, the great Greek physician famous for the oath that doctors swear today, claimed that “all disease begins in the gut.” Even today, health practitioners worldwide emphasise the vitality of regulating a healthy and functional gut. Jodie, The Colonic Coach, based in Townsville, is no exception. 

Jodie is passionate about helping clients get back to the basics of good intestinal and colonic health so that they can rejuvenate and thrive. In addition to offering an array of services—including colon hydrotherapy and infrared sauna treatments—Jodie will ensure you receive informed advice for maintaining wellbeing and remaining a conscious consumer.

Fasting isn’t necessary before a Colonic (however highly beneficial if you are versed in fasting). Jodie recommends reducing the overconsumption of high-fat foods, dairy, meat products, caffeine, and alcohol. (If you have consumed these in the day/s leading up to your appointment, do NOT let this prevent you from treatment and assistance of cleansing the colon when in need).

Eating lighter and nutrient-dense whole foods is recommended. Fresh fruit juices, smoothies, fruit, and steamed vegetables are the easiest for the body to digest and allow the digestive system time to actually ‘rest and digest.’

Cease food consumption two hours prior to the appointment and all fluid intake one hour prior to the appointment.

Keeping hydration levels of purified or distilled water, fresh juices, herbal teas, and natural electrolyte beverages to an adequate level after the colonic is absolutely necessary. More information can be provided regarding “Before & After” recommendations by calling the clinic to discuss your individual situation. 

Colon health and its level of function is usually dismissed on one’s “health goals” list. We are often looking for ways to improve energy levels, detox the body and feel better overall; however, we don’t typically associate this with our colon health (our foundation).

Here are some benefits of how colon hydrotherapy can be used in accordance with a healthy diet and lifestyle to achieve optimal health.

*BETTER COLON HEALTH 

Cleansing your colon can assist in removing toxins from your body. We are exposed to alarming amounts of toxins on the daily, and when these toxins are not flushed out, they can linger in the body. They can potentially do damage and impact our colon, along with the rest of our body’s organs and systems. Releasing toxic burden in the colon can also assist in reducing the risk of polyps and cancerous growths and allowing for our beneficial gut flora and bacteria to begin to flourish again in our colon.

*IMPROVED DIGESTION

Cleansing your colon from toxicity overload, constipation and/or parasites is a way to purge excess waste from your colon and body. Through cleaning and removal of excess waste or burdens in the colon, your body then has the ability to be able to function better and absorb nutrients from your food more effectively, which impacts and boosts your immune system and overall health. This will also lead to more regular bowel movements.
