Top 5 things for a Healthy Digestion
1.    Digestive enzymes – Intolerance Complete
·         Digestive enzymes digest all food, and our bodies make digestive enzymes mainly in the pancreas, the stomach, the small intestine, and the mouth.
·         There are 22 known digestive enzymes with names that end on “-ase” such as:
o    Amylase (digests carbohydrates)
o    Lipase (digests fats)
o    Protease (digests proteins)
o    Disaccharides (digest sugars)
·         Enzymes are essential for every chemical reaction in the body and for the normal activity of cells, tissues, fluids, and organs.
·         All food, vitamins, minerals, hormones require enzymes to be processed and absorbed.

2.    A Refrigerated probiotic-*  Resistant to stomach acid and bile  Dr. Formulated 90 billion 
·         Probiotics are live microorganisms (in most cases, bacteria) that are similar to the beneficial microorganisms naturally found in the human gut.
·         Our gut is home to over 500 bacterial species
·         These “good bacteria” are used to prevent and alleviate many different conditions, but particularly those that affect the gastrointestinal tract.
·         Only live cultures are true probiotics; look for high Bifidobacterium in a probiotic

3.     Fiber- Raw Fiber Garden of Life — High quality Psyllium free fiber
·         Psyllium Free fiber maintains healthy digestion and colon care, which is simply challenging to do through diet.

4.     Ionic Magnesium Citrate-Calm- by Natural Vitality
·         Magnesium and minerals aid in digestion, calm and relax our muscles and mind, and balance our minerals (electrolytes) in our body.
·         Magnesium deficiency is common cause of chronic constipation and is key to healthy bowl movements.

5.    Omega Oils
·         Healthy fats lubricate our intestines.
·         When we fuel ourselves with health fats our body is able to release the unhealthy stored fats and learns to burn fat, not muscle.

How Stress Impacts the Microbiome, SIBO, and IMO

  How Stress Impacts the Microbiome, SIBO, and IMO Stress has long been recognized as a driver of imbalance in the human body, but its effects on the gut—and specifically on conditions like Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO)—are profound. Emerging research highlights the intricate relationship between stress, gut health, and these overgrowth conditions, revealing how the gut and brain communicate in ways that significantly influence our well-being. By understanding these mechanisms, we can develop holistic approaches to healing and achieving better gut health. The Role of Stress and the HPA Axis in Gut Health Stress triggers a cascade of physiological responses, largely mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This central stress-response system regulates the release of cortisol, a hormone designed to help the body respond to stress. However, chronic stress can dysregulate this axis, leading to prolonged elevate...

Colon Hydrotherapy & the Struggle to Educate Conventional Medicine

  Colon Hydrotherapy & the Struggle to Educate Conventional Medicine A call for integration, awareness, and updated clinical understanding By Wendy — Integrative Colon Hydrotherapist, Educator & Author of RYSE From Within: A Guide to Heal Your Gut Introduction: A Growing Divide Despite the growing popularity of integrative therapies and the rise in gut-related disorders, colon hydrotherapy (CHT) continues to face resistance—particularly from conventional and allopathic practitioners. While many clients experience significant improvements in digestion, detoxification, and emotional well-being, physicians often remain dismissive or skeptical. Why? My hypothesis: This resistance stems from (1) outdated medical training, (2) variability in hydrotherapy practices, and (3) misinformation around safety and efficacy. Yet the scientific literature increasingly supports CHT as a gentle, effective method for relieving constipation, improving quality of life, and even...

Where Do Gut Issues Come From

  Where Do Gut Issues Come From Introduction: A Question Without a Simple Answer As a colon hydrotherapist, nutritionist, and educator, one of the most common questions I hear is: “How did I end up with these gut issues?” Constipation, bloating, IBS, inflammation—it often feels like they appeared out of nowhere. But the truth is: gut dysfunction is rarely sudden. It is layered, complex, and influenced by a constellation of physical, emotional, and environmental factors. What I know today as a practitioner may evolve tomorrow. That’s the beauty—and challenge—of science. But what remains constant is this: the gut is the center of our health , and understanding its roots can unlock powerful healing. In this article, I’ll walk you through some of the key contributing factors to gut dysfunction—many of which I explore in my book RYSE From Within: A Guide to Heal Your Gut —and the science behind how they shape our digestive health. 1. Genetics: The Blueprint—but Not the Destiny Som...
