Feeling pregnant? If you’ve been feeling a little puffy lately, you are not alone. Everyone feels that extra layer of winter blubber. I feel it too. It needs to be shed immediately now that the weather is warming up. If you’re considering options for a detox, you might be curious about colonic therapies and treatments. We often indulge in holiday binge eating and drinking. But additionally, there is a biological reason we put on a few extra pounds in the winter time.

The lower serotonin levels from the lack of sun induces carb cravings. Also, increased appetite is designed to keep our internal temperature higher in the colder climate. Before you reach for that crash detox out of desperation, take this month to reset. Start with a good cleanse. I like to kickstart spring with a colonic procedure to get back into my skin. A colonic will help you feel deflated, yet hydrated because the colon is designed to absorb water.

Did you know that ingesting liquids up the rear cavity is the fastest way to absorb liquid? This is why “butt chugging” alcohol was a stupid fad with frat boys. But it is used as an effective strategy for those at sea, who are severely dehydrated. A client of mine many years ago shared an unusual strategy. He and his mates would stick a hose up the ass of anyone dealing with intense vomiting. It seemed to be the only way to keep them hydrated. That really stuck with me. Never underestimate the power of colonic hydration!
