Fermenting Vegetables – Why & How?
May 31st
Finally, here is a post that I’ve been planning to do for ages but not getting around to. To those of you that I’ve consulted to around nutrition and digestive health, you’ll will know that fermented foods ( cultured vegetables ) is a subject close to my heart. I’ve just finished reading Sandor Ellix Katz’s book “Wild Fermentation” which has finally inspired me to put something together. Having dabbled in fermenting food myself for the last year or so, I can easily see how Katz’s came to self describe himself as a “fermentation fetishist”. I too find delving into the science and More >
Time to detox? Time for your next Colonic.
Nov 17th
Today’s entry is aimed specifically at those who’ve had colonics before and are wondering when would be the right time to come back for a follow-up session.
Most people who follow our 14 Day or 21 Day programs incorporating a series of colonics (usually three) in conjunction with our cleansing diet plan, find at the end of it that the body has reset to a healthier place and everything feels and works better. So when discussing when to come back in, I always say do it in when you feel you need to. How long that takes obviously varies greatly depending on the person’s More >
How having the RIGHT salt in your diet can improve your digestion, bowel function and skin.
Nov 3rd
It’s becoming more and more generally recognized these days that healthy salt is important in our diets. Most of us have heard about how Celtic, Himalayan, Murray River Pink Salt and unrefined sea salt in appropriate quantities being actually healthy for us. I thought then I’d write a bit today on why that is and how it actually benefits our digestion, bowel function and skin.
Salt has for a long time copped a bad wrap due to it’s link with high blood pressure (hypertension) and rightfully so when it’s refined salt that we taking about such as found in your typical table More >
Cleanse / Re-balance / Re-populate – The Keys to Recovering Intestinal Health
May 24th
As the Colon Hydrotherapist here at Boda Wellbeing, I see plenty of people who come in with obvious issues with their intestinal health, be it digestion problems caused by food allergies (gluten, lactose intolerance etc), acid reflux, candida (yeast overgrowth), to IBS and Constipation etc. Then there is the portion of clients (probably 40-50%) who come in with regular bowel function and appear to have good digestion but want to tune-up and detox by clearing out toxins.
Despite the range of reasons and levels of health people come in with, the reality is that it’s rare that I treat someone and not encounter quite significant symptoms of gastrointestinal More >
Constipation… Time to talk about it.
Mar 3rd
Constipation is a familiar condition for most of us at some point in our lives, usually it is temporary and resolves on its own, but for many it is chronic, frustrating, and can cause significant discomfort and problems. In fact the New England Journal of Medicine in October 2003, stated that constipation is a problem for up to 27% of the population of Western countries. Despite being a relatively common complaint though, constipation if it is discussed in public at all, is usually done in either hushed tones, or through a “joke”, so as to avoid embarrassment.
So, why is constipation, More >
Hydration: the key to any Detox Program
Oct 18th
With beach weather not far away, a detox eating plan combined with colon hydrotherapy is a great way to throw off sluggishness and tone up before pulling out the swim wear. With water not far from the mind then, I thought it would be useful to take a moment to remind ourselves of the importance of water in the cleansing process.
With detox very much in vogue these days there is no shortage of detox products, kits and programs out in the market, many of them promising amazing results in days. Whilst some of these products can have dramatic detoxifying effects, what More >
