Prior to July 11th 2021, the idea of having any procedure done to my colon just made me shudder in horror. 

However my mind has since been changed, thanks to a wonderful women by the name of Kristina. But lets rewind a sec and get to how this all started … I had heard about colonics but never read or learned about it, and it wasn’t until I saw someone on Instagram talk about how he was on his way to get one. He went on to talk about how excited he was to have the procedure done and he briefly went over some of the benefits. So naturally, this peaked my curiosity! I instantly thought about those past days when I would go to the bathroom (to do number two) just a few times a week, rather than everyday. I was imagining all of the years of built up gunk lining my colon and how my colon could really use a cleanse.

The first thing I did was go online and do a bit of research, I wanted to know EVERYTHING. What was the procedure like? what did it entail? would it be painful? Uncomfortable? What are the benefits? Cons? Would I be stuck inserting the tube myself? How long does it take? The whole idea terrified me so I needed all of my questions answered pronto.

Based on my experience, the entire procedure was very pleasant. Kristina was welcoming, professional and ensured me that there was nothing to worry about. Upon arrival there was a quick questionnaire followed by a consultation where we went over the paperwork and a walk through of the process. Once I was mentally prepared, it was showtime! 

I laid on the bed, nervous to get started, but thankfully Kristina was quick to insert the tube, all while reminding me to take breaths and relax. Once that was complete, the water was turned on, and I kid you not, 30 seconds in, and the “plaque” was being removed and sucked out! It was interesting to see and I could not believe just how much gunk was being removed!

The whole process took 30 minutes and during that time, Kristina was massaging the abdomen area, assisting in the breakdown of the plaque. I never once felt any pain, however I did feel light cramping and a sense of “fullness”. We chatted the entire time, which distracted me, so that was nice!

Most people who decide to get a colonic have some sort of medical condition, or just like myself, are looking to do a cleanse. With that being said, there are so many benefits to having it done, here are just a few:

• Helps to remove the toxins that have accumulated within the body
• Stimulates and improves the immune system
• Aids in weight loss
• Cleanses the colon
• Improves digestion
• Aids in detoxifying the body
• Increases the body’s absorption of vitamins and minerals
• Decreases the risk of colon cancer

These are just some of the reasons why you should get one done and if you suffer from either an acute or chronic condition, chances are a colonic can benefit you too.

Once the procedure was complete, the first thing I noticed was how “light” I felt, it was as if I had instantly lost weight, not in the traditional, fat loss sense but like I had lost the weight of “build up” within my body. Second to that, my stomach was FLAT! Like incredibly flat. So much so, that I was constantly checking myself out in the mirror because I simply couldn’t believe it (did I really have that much gunk inside me?).

It has now been a few days since, and I feel great! Energy levels are up, stomach is still flat, still going to the bathroom normally … all in all I highly recommend everyone to get a colonic done. Your body will reap the benefits and you’ll be cleansing and healing the body all at the same time. If you’re in the GTA area, you need to check out Kristina at www.keydetox.ca
