February Newletter

February 

What does February mean to you?

It means implementation, acknowledgment of black history month, and Love. I am falling back in love with myself, with humanity, and with the process.

The past couple of years has been challenging, as I am sure we all can relate.  I think back to my ancestors and the civil war and what we have fought for as a collective; it inspires me, and at times we are unique, yet we are not. We have all endured challenges and tragedies, and we can all bond.

Love doesn’t always feel like love. It feels like discipline, followed by results, that for me, feel like accomplishments.  I think the second part is perceptions; I usually see the world as a glass half full or as an optimist, waking up excited for the world, and choosing to take responsibility for myself. There tend to be two types of camps. People whom things happen to and another camp that makes things happen. I believe reality is somewhere in the middle; however, I lean a little more toward the right of these two camps, which for me is self-agency.

Love to me is continuously changing, embracing unconditional for self and others. Regarding my health, it is my responsibility, and I can do a lot to change my trajectory. I love myself through the process, listening to myself and knowing when to be extra kind and when to push.

Being a coach has been one of my most prominent teachers, loving people how they want and need to be loved. Supporting people through their process and not always having to fix, there is a fine line between guidance and fixing. Sometimes, it is as simple as being honest and truthful.

I love what I do, I love Poop, and I love learning about health and digestion. I would not want to do anything other than what I do; I feel blessed to have created a job that I wake up daily excited to go to work!

We have many changes within our shop currently; we are bringing on another therapist this month. We are also adding another open system.  We opened the shop earlier for you early birds Tuesday through Thursday. It will be ready to go in the middle of the month.  My book will be released this month, and we will launch the Heal your Gut Workshop in May!

Loving you all

We are looking to add testimonials to our website~ please share your experience working with us.

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...
