Life-changing question for anyone who’s tried to fix their stomach issues for years and STILL experiences constipation, gas, bloat, IBS symptoms, leaky gut, hormone imbalance, energy blockages, and the like:

Trust Your Gut expert gut health wellness lifestyle

What’s the ONLY difference between people who achieve an optimal level of gut health that allows them to live a life feeling light, energized, focused, and care-free…

…and those who stay up past midnight desperately searching TikTok for their FIRST or NEXT “best thing” for finding some relief only to get back on the hamster wheel a week later?

  • If you guessed over-the-counter laxatives, you’d be wrong. 
  • If you guessed 20-35 supplements a day that cost you thousands of dollars, you’d be wrong.
  • If you guessed extreme dieting, a cleanse-du-jour, and expensive trips to get exotic therapies, well, we encourage you to look beyond what’s trendy.

Because while proven practices like clean eating and digestive aids (psst: we love a good herbal tea!) are certainly helpful – they’re only part of the holistic wheel! 

And if you’re constantly experiencing constipation, gas, bloat, IBS symptoms, leaky gut, hormone imbalance, energy blockages, and the like:

You’ve probably heard time and time again “Just take a laxative!” “Eat more fiber!” “THIS supplement worked for ME.” “Come on, it can’t be that bad!”

But you KNOW it’s just. Not. That. Simple

Trust Your Gut expert gut health constipation education

The physical, mental, and emotional strain of digestive issues spills out into all aspects of life. When you’re backed up:

  • There’s a constant feeling of being on edge and unable to ever relax and rest. Not to mention the anxiety around symptoms – anything from hormonal breakouts and acne to worry whether the desperate urge to go will happen when out with friends.
  • You can’t properly concentrate on work, the mental load and physical fatigue keep you stressed out and unfocused. 
  • Your personal life takes a toll due to fear of embarrassment around taboo topics like constipation, diarrhea and bloating – keeping you reserved and feeling alone. 

And you can FORGET about feeling sexy.

SO while your friends and family have the best of intentions, it can feel like another weight dropped on your already heavy heart, knowing you didn’t get the same results as them. 

“I literally haven’t pooped in 7 days and I’m miserable!” you want to shout!

You’re Not Going Crazy. Here Are 5 Reasons You Haven’t Found Relief Yet (Even if You’ve Tried Everything)

1. You’re following a trend or one-size-fits-all-solution instead of listening to your body’s unique needs

Unfortunately, it can be a shady industry that preys on sick people desperate for a solution. It’s important to vet the person you turn to for answers. Ask yourself: 

  • Do they have years of experience or does this seem like the next new thing to try? 
  • Do they have real, rave reviews? What about certifications? 
  • Have they been through what I’ve been through? 

On the other hand, maybe you’ve been trying the same thing again and again, hoping for a different outcome. For example: a common reason behind feeling like poo, is taking too many laxatives. They can paralyze your peristalsis, that wave-like motion in your colon that tells you when it’s time to go poop. 

What to do: Perhaps it’s time to slow down and reexamine your one-size-fits-all solution. By educating on these matters, you can break down the barriers of discomfort and provide essential knowledge about your digestive health! A clear understanding of how bowel movements and gut health affect overall wellness is key to living a healthier life.

2. You’re Still Stressed TF Out

You can be doing all the right “gut health” things but without a regulated nervous system, healing may take some time! When the body is stressed, anxious or overwhelmed, it’s common for the digestive system to shut down and the bowel movements to slow down, stop altogether, or even become loose.

Here’s the thing: Your GUT is your second brain. The gut is not merely a digestive organ; it is intimately linked with our mental and emotional states*, a relationship often referred to as the gut-brain axis. Stress takes a huge toll on your gut health AND immune system.

Unfortunately, this point is often overlooked in modern medicine leading to a cycle where stress exacerbates gut issues, which in turn can impact your stress levels.

What to do: As your awareness grows, you can continue to place emphasis on holistic approaches to health! Recognizing the importance of managing stress to maintain both mental and physical well-being will thereby improve your gut health!

Remember that your happy gut is like a superpower - your to-do list doesn’t look so daunting. Take time for a bath, light your non-toxic candles, and breathe. You feel lighter, brighter, and ready to tackle anything.

3. It’s actually parasites making you feel sick

Did you know that 85 to 90% of the people have parasites? Yup, it’s not just something you pick-up from an exositc location! They affect everybody, everywhere!

Parasitic infections can manifest with a range of symptoms, including digestive issues, unexplained weight changes, skin problems, and fatigue.

  • Have you noticed any unexplained changes in your bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation?
  • Experiencing fatigue or a general feeling of weakness that cannot be attributed to other factors?
  • Unexplained weight loss or a lack of appetite?
  • Persistent abdominal pain or discomfort, especially after eating?
  • Changes in your skin, such as rashes, hives, or eczema?
  • Frequent bloating or gas, even after consuming a small amount of food?
  • Notice you are more symptomatic around the full moon? 

What to do: If you answered yes to a few of these questions, it may be time to consider a parasite cleanse!

4. Your detox pathways are clogged

Many people don’t realize this (until they’ve started a cleanse or detox and feel worse than when they started), but it’s important to support the body’s pathways for toxin elimination, also known as drainage pathways. Think about it: If you want to release toxins, they need a place to go (otherwise they get reabsorbed into the body).

The large intestine is at the bottom, or the foundation, of the drainage funnel. That means that if you are constipated, everything upstream (liver, lymphatic system, organs, cells & tissue) gets backed up and can become toxic, too. This way, you will be unable to remove toxins efficiently. 

What to do: Drainage should come first, before a detox or a cleanse in order to get your pathways open and moving. For example, many people like starting with a water enema to get things flowing before performing a coffee enema. You can also up your fiber and water intake and/or use castor oil packs

5. You’re letting fear hold you back from doing an at-home enema (or you’ve just never heard of one!)

If you’ve just found us, it’s possible you’ve never heard of an enema! It’s like an at-home colonic you can do from the comfort of your own home. Okay, look: An enema does mean you have to put something about an inch to inch and a half into your bum. 

What to do: Place a towel on the floor of the bathroom or in the bathtub and relax! Consider lighting a non-toxic soy candle and rubbing castor oil on your lower abdomen for an extra boost of relief. Now… Trust Your Gut! You got this. 

Experience the Transformative Power of Colon Cleansing

The use of filtered or distilled water enemas or coffee enemas can have a transformational effect on your health and well-being. Let’s take a look at the many ways these at-home enemas can help support you.

REGULAR BOWEL MOVEMENTS

Enemas are the perfect, non-toxic, and immediate solution for constipation. By inputting water or coffee solution directly into the lower bowels, it stimulates the colon to remove waste. This can also aid in re-toning the colon muscles, which are essential for peristalsis, the physical “gotta go!” feeling.

LESS BLOATING & GAS

When you remove built-up waste, you’re also removing excess gas that accumulates in the rectum, causing distension and discomfort. Enemas may help to release this built-up gas, providing much-needed relief from bloating!

TOTAL REJUVENATION

Dealing with bloating and gut issues isn’t just uncomfortable, it can impact your quality of life! When you’re burdened with toxic waste buildup, the toxins from the waste you’re not eliminating could end up getting reabsorbed into your bloodstream, leading to a plethora of symptoms that zap the life from you.

Coffee enemas help detoxify your liver, which can unburden them from fighting inflammation and holding on to toxicity.

MORE ENERGY

Once your colon is cleared of waste sitting on the walls, it can absorb nutrients much more efficiently! Both these features lead to you feeling more energized, mentally and physically lighter, and genuinely revitalized!

HORMONE BALANCE

Many hormonal imbalances are caused by excess estrogen, the main sex hormone that contributes to regulation of the menstrual cycle and maintenance of reproductive tissues. Causing painful cycles and contributing to many PMS symptoms such as swollen breasts, mood swings, headaches, and bloat. 

Coffee enemas, during the detoxification of the liver, have been said to remove excess estrogen from the bloodstream. In theory, this process would eliminate toxins causing the hormone imbalance, reducing PMS symptoms!

While hormone regulation is a complex subject, many women use enemas to naturally relieve them of constipation, bloating, and discomfort during their menstrual cycles. 

LESS STRESS, MORE RELAXATION

When you’re stressed, the digestive system shuts off which can slow things down and lead to IBS, constipation, diarrhea and bloating. The coffee is believed to stimulate the liver, enhance detoxification processes, as well as activate the parasympathetic nervous system which allows you to come out of "fight or flight" mode. This can help to lower anxiety and to promote a feeling of calm and relaxation. While the primary focus of coffee enemas is on physical health, their impact on mental health cannot be ignored.

GERSON THERAPY™ - ALTERNATE CANCER TREATMENT

Coffee enemas are the primary method of detoxification of tissues and blood as part of the Gerson Therapy.

With a holistic approach to healing, the philosophy behind Dr. Gerson’s approach to medicine is the following: “Degenerative diseases render the body increasingly unable to excrete waste materials adequately, commonly resulting in liver and kidney failure.”* Therefore, Gerson Therapy uses intensive detoxification to eliminate wastes, regenerate the liver, reactivate the immune system and restore the body’s essential defenses.

IMMUNE SYSTEM

Coffee enemas stimulate upwards of a 700% increase in glutathione, your body's master antioxidant detoxifier! Antioxidants are known for their ability to fight the free radical cells which appear due to external factors such as pollution, tobacco, sun exposure. Too many free radicals create oxidative stress which is associated with various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and skin aging. Antioxidants are crucial for maintaining cellular and overall health.

HAPPY HORMONES (SEROTONIN)

Did you know 95% of serotonin (your happy hormone) is produced in the gut? That’s because your gut health and your brain are directly linked via the vagus nerve. When the colon is overloaded, this can compromise serotonin production, leaving you feeling down.

RADIANT SKIN

Your skin is your largest detox organ, so overloading your liver with toxicity is a common reason you may be experiencing acne and unwanted breakouts! By detoxifying the liver with coffee enemas, toxins are released, leading to clearer skin!

Moreover, maintaining overall gut health through a balanced diet, healthy lifestyle, and hydration is always a great road to glowing skin!

But WAIT – It Takes More Than “Just a Regimen” It Takes an Indestructible Protocol™

To experience the full suite of benefits, it takes a “protocol” – the right set of products that we’re about to share with you now. 

1. Start by opening up the detox pathways

Before beginning any type of modality, especially to cleanse harmful biotoxins, chemicals, heavy metals, and parasites, it’s important to support the body’s pathways for toxin elimination first. This leads to more effective removal of toxins from the body. 

It’s important to be pooping 2-3 times per day before moving ahead with your detox regimen. To open up the colon pathways for toxin release, you need to pee, poo, and/or sweat. As we mentioned before, many people like to start with a water enema to stimulate regular bowel movements before moving onto their detoxifying coffee enema. In addition, you can:

  • Take a hot Epsom salt bath 
  • Work up a sweat during a workout
  • Try red light therapy
  • Go to a sauna or ozone sauna
  • Use Castor oil packs
  • Intake extra fiber and adequate hydration

2. Lead with an Enema

So we understand the many benefits of a detoxifying enema by now, but how many at-home enemas do you need to start feeling better, more regular, etc.? 

First, it’s important to know that everybody is different and dealing with unique issues! Your healing journey will require its own method - and that’s okay! But generally speaking:

  • 2-3x a week early in your journey
  • 1-2x a week as you begin healing 
  • 1-2x a month for maintenance mode 
  • An additional 1-2x a month during flare ups or particularly stressful moments in life 

Next, don’t worry if you can’t hold the solution for 15 minutes! Start slowly and go easy on yourself.

3. Complement with Castor Oil

Castor oil packs have been used as a natural remedy for inflammation for thousands of years, dating back to early Egypt! When applied to the abdomen, castor oil packs work by stimulating the lymph and liver function by increasing your lymphocyte count, which then helps speed up the process of toxin removal process in your body. Interestingly, it can also increase the master antioxidant, glutathione!

When applied topically, they provide a gentle and soothing warmth that helps relax the muscles in the digestive tract, also helping to alleviate symptoms such as bloating and gas.

4. Supplement with a Herbal Digestive Tea by TYG

Sipping on some heavenly, herbal tea is always a good idea, regardless of your protocol or stomach issues. And yet, reaching for a purposeful blend to complement your needs can warm the mind, body and soul in all the right ways. 

  • GUT REMEDY: To aid your digestive system
  • WELLNESS SHIELD: To boost your immune system
  • DETOX DEFENSE: To cleanse liver toxins
  • ROYAL FLUSH: To help get rid of parasites

SHOP TEAS

5. Balance with Candles

Performing an enema and detoxing at home doesn’t have to be scary. In fact, it can be your moment of peace, serenity, and holistic health. The more relaxed you are, the more your colon is going to relax. That’s why it’s super beneficial to create your moment of zen. Your cherry on top? A non-toxic, clean burning candle in your favorite scent.

Bonus: Harness the Power of a Healthy Lifestyle

While we preach the benefits of colon hydrotherapy in promoting regular bowel movements, it’s important that colonics be used to complement fundamental lifestyle habits!

  • Adequate hydration helps soften stool, making it easier to pass.
  • Regular physical activity, like daily walks, stimulates the digestive system and promotes bowel regularity.
  • Chewing food thoroughly aids in proper digestion, allowing nutrients to be absorbed efficiently and supporting a smoother digestive process.

Trust Your Gut expert gut health founder Marina Ortega

I’m Marina, Founder, the Original “Gut Coach”

Look, I get it. I was chronically constipated – and no one wanted to talk about it! Over 25 years working in the corporate world had left me overworked and stressed. I had developed numerous food sensitivities and sometimes didn’t poop for days! 

Desperate and in pain, I set out on a 5-year-long journey to fix my health. I saw several doctors and GI specialists, spent thousands on prescribed medicine and OTC laxatives, and tried all the herbal teas and supplements. Nothing worked.

It wasn’t until I tried a colonic and incorporated coffee enemas and castor oil packs that my life finally started to look up. Even better, the results were immediate, organic, and natural. After several years with no relief and no answers, I unloaded 6 pounds right then and there! But more than that, I unloaded the weight of searching, stressing, spending, and suffering… because I knew I had finally found the solution.

But here’s the thing: No one was talking about colonics! The available clinics were basic at best, shady at worst. Getting expert, trustworthy help was difficult. With a newfound zest for life, I stepped away from corporate America and turned my focus to healing my body from the inside out. 

I became a I-ACT Certified Colon Hydrotherapist with the goal of sharing my knowledge with others and inspiring them to embrace a more holistic lifestyle, free from the chains of digestive health issues.

What exactly is an enema?

An enema is a type of colon cleanse that involves infusing liquid into the colon via the rectum. Prior to the introduction of pharmaceutical laxatives, which although more convenient, pose harmful side effects including dependency, irritation, and laziness of the bowel, enemas were the standard medical practice.

Most importantly, a 2-liter enema kit can help alleviate acute constipation from the lower bowel. When filled with purified water, held, and then released in the toilet, a water enema is the perfect, non-toxic, and immediate solution for constipation. This can also aid in re-toning the colon muscles, which are essential for peristalsis.

Portable Trust Your Gut bags are an excellent travel companion to help prevent constipation when you are away from home and out of your routine. For those who suffer from lazy bowels, enemas may be performed whenever necessary or as advised by a health professional.

Can anyone do an at-home enema?

Yes, our enema kits are designed for beginners and experts alike. It’s like a mini colonic you can do at home! They’re complete with an instructional booklet to help you get started, feel comfortable and cared for. 

You can also join our community newsletter for more tips and tricks! We’ll be adding more how-to videos, but feel free to get in touch with any questions you have regarding getting started. We’re to help you!

Are they safe?

Yes, enemas are safe! We always use FDA-approved, non-toxic, organic materials with safe, easy clean-up and storage options. Please follow your instructional booklet for correct usage. And always check with your primary care physician or licensed medical professional before attempting a coffee enema.

Please consult with your medical professional if any of the following exist:

  • Currently undergoing chemotherapy
  • Renal, cardiac or respiratory failure
  • Bleeding and/or ulceration in the colon tract
  • Ulcerative Colitis
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Ileostomy (no colon)
  • Hypertension and/or tachycardia
  • Pregnant
  • Acute or ongoing chronic diarrhea until investigated by a physician
  • First 6-8 weeks post-surgery

Is the process messy?

No, it’s not messy, but you’ll want to make sure you use the clamp on the hose. This ensures the solution does not trickle out of the hose. We recommend performing your enema on a towel in the shower or bathroom floor, close to the toilet for easy “hold-to-flow” access.

How often can I do an enema?

The following is a general recommendation. Keep in mind everyone’s journey is different.

  • 2-3x a week early in your journey
  • 1-2x a week as you begin healing 
  • 1-2x a month for maintenance mode 
  • An additional 1-2x a month during flare ups or particularly stressful moments in life 

However, we recommend a 360° approach to gut therapy. Complement your enemas with castor oil packs, herbal teas, and a healthy diet and lifestyle to ensure optimal gut health!

When is the best time of day to do an enema?

Anytime at all, although on an empty stomach is the most beneficial. Because you may get a boost of energy after your first enema, we recommend your first time is in the morning. After that, many people find themselves very relaxed after evening enemas.

Is it painful? What if I can’t hold it for 15 minutes?

It’s not painful, but holding the solution can be hard at the beginning. Don’t be discouraged if you can only hold it for a few minutes during your first attempts. Just like when you train at the gym, you’re training your colon!  It's gonna strengthen each time, And so each time you'll be able to hold it even longer and longer.
