Colonic Preparation: How to Prepare for Your First Session

Typically, no long fasting or special measures are necessary prior to your first colonic. However, if you are considering a water fast or juice fast, it may be beneficial to start with some colon cleansing preparation by doing a colonic first.

We often suggest diet changes or other colon cleansing support between sessions for the best results.

For optimal outcomes, we recommend that you eliminate processed foods and dairy 24 hours before your session and on the day of your colonic. Additionally, please avoid caffeine, carbonated beverages, and alcohol on the day of your session. Instead, enjoy plenty of filtered water, fresh green juices, herbal teas, bone broth, smoothies, cooked eggs, chicken, cooked fish, berries, and nut butters as part of your diet before colonic treatment.

If you experience chronic constipation, consider taking a natural stool softener such as Magnesium Calms, Magnesium Citrate, or Cleanse More by Renew Life the night before your session to help prepare your bowel for elimination. Probiotics are also key in healing, restoring, and repairing the gut, and we will recommend the best options for your specific needs during your session.

NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT USE OTC LAXATIVES THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR SESSION!

Additionally, avoid solid food for 2 hours before your session. For the hour leading up to your colonic, please restrict your intake to only water or herbal tea (no dairy). After your session, you may bring a light snack of fruit or enjoy a smoothie.

Remember, colonics are not painful, messy, or scary; they provide a very comfortable way to help eliminate accumulated waste and restore regularity. You are in caring, well-trained hands at our center, so relax and let us guide you on how to prepare for colonics.

Please arrive 5 mins prior to your scheduled time to fill out intake forms in the clinic. We will go over this in detail before your session to get a snapshot of your current health and goals. We will also discuss any contraindications you may have (these are listed at the time of booking). Your safety & comfort are our top priority! 

When considering colon cleansing preparation, it's important to note that colonics are an essential part of any major diet before colonic. As you begin to implement changes to your diet, starting with colonics allows you to see and feel the benefits and results much faster. No cleanse can begin or be completed without colonics to support the opening of the elimination channels, of which your skin and bowel are the largest. 

PLEASE NOTE: Our colonic systems are not ideal for people struggling with weight over 270lbs. If you need more information on how to prepare for colonics, please contact us.
