Cleanses, Colonics & Nutrition: How They Work Together
At Vitality Flow, we specialize in internal cleansing and nutrition for the purpose of restoring the digestive function. Digestive issues affect your whole body.
Some common signs that your digestive system is not working optimally are excessive gas and bloating, acid reflux, poor nutrient absorption, skin issues, constipation and body odor among many others.
Good digestion results in feeling better in general and having more energy.
The three pillars of a Vitality Flow colon cleanse or digestive “reset” are nutrition, water, and "superfoods."
Nutrition
A clean nutrition program can stand on its own as a cleanse and improve digestion.
A clean nutrition program can also be combined with colon hydrotherapy sessions and herbal products to make the cleanse much more effective and the benefits more pronounced.
“Nutrition is the only remedy that can bring full recovery and can be used with any treatment. Remember, food is our best medicine!” ~ Bernard Jensen D.C., Nutritionist
I love this quote and I do believe food can help us to be healthy. However, the world has changed and so have the challenges that our digestive systems face and the way we digest. Our bodies are bombarded with chemicals, preservatives, hormones, environmental pollutants, and lack of freshness in the food we eat. Stress levels are higher than ever.
We define nutrition as everything we put into our bodies via our eyes, ears, skin, mouth, and nose. All of these create a context for nutrition.
Changing one’s nutrition during colon hydrotherapy treatments reduces both gas and the amount of energy one is expending to digest food so that the maximum amount of waste can be released. This results in a reduction of toxic load in the body, bringing a feeling of relief and lightness.
What is a Cleanse?
A cleanse, also often referred to as a "detox," is when you give your body a break from the foods that you eat every day that take a lot of energy to digest or are nutritionally unproductive (dairy, alcohol, wheat, refined sugars, processed foods, coffee, etc.)
During this cleansing time (3, 5, 7, 14 or 30 days depending on your needs) you fill your body to the brim with life-giving, nutrient-dense nourishing foods.

Colon Hydrotherapy, Proper Hydration & Water Rich Foods
At Vitality Flow, we encourage you to eat healthily and avoid common allergens while doing your colon hydrotherapy sessions.
Fifty percent of the benefits of colonics comes from following the specific nutritional guidelines that we will provide you with.
The other fifty percent of the benefits comes from the elimination of waste materials and hydration.
During a cleanse (with or without colonics), in order to help your body “reset” you will be:
- Adding more fruits, fresh and cooked vegetables, steamed rice, lemon water, salads, soups and smoothies. You can eat 2 or 3 meals a day. You can drink 64 oz of water per day to help toxins exit the body. These easy to digest foods will:
-
-
- fuel your body while not demanding so much energy for digestion,
- help it let go of old toxic residue
- hydrate you and provide live giving vitamins and minerals.
-
- Removing common allergens such as wheat, dairy, eggs and corn products (to reduce bloat and inflammation)
- Removing non-nutritious foods such as alcohol, coffee, refined sugar, processed foods, artificial flavors, chemicals and fast food. This will give your body a break from toxic build up, liver stress and difficult to digest foods.
One simple way to gently cleanse the body, improve elimination and support digestion is by drinking a glass of celery juice each day.
In my video I show you two easy methods to make healthy, cleansing celery juice at home.
It makes for a wonderful way to start or end your day.
