Christmas Cleanse
3 min read
Great health starts with the gut. Look and feel your best this Christmas with Colonic Hydrotherapy and tailored Supplements.
Sometimes it's easier to add than to take away! Let’s be realistic, holiday season for many of us can mean lots of party (processed) foods, speciality coffee's, alcohol and little to no vegetables. If this is the case, instead of trying to take some of these foods out maybe we can add something in to decrease the negative impact on your health.
Here are 3 supplements you can take over the holidays to help support a healthy Christmas Colon:
Colon Cleanser
A clinic visit for colonic hydrotherapy, or colon cleanse supplement capsules can help alleviate a sluggish gut over the holidays.
Book in to our Award Winning Digestive Health Clinic to best prep your colon for the Christmas season. Colonic Hydrotherapy can removed pounds of congested waste, helping you feel lighter after just one session.
There are a variety of colon cleanse options available and our Nutritionists can help advise the best for your needs. Some examples of popular cleansers include:
HYDRO Cleanse for an oxygenating stool softener, offering much needed hydration and immune support, suitable for the whole family from newborn to elderly.
If you’d like digestive enzymes to help break down your meal and reduce bloating, seaweed Iodize+ acts as an excellent daily multi-mineral and alkalising formula. Ideal if you suffer acid reflux, heartburn or just needing a helping hand digesting the heavier festive foods.
2. Pro and Pre biotics
Overeating, processed foods, sugar and alcohol all negatively impact our gut flora (healthy bacteria in our digestive tract). When our gut flora balance is off, we no longer digest our food properly and can often experience indigestion, bloating and diarrhoea.
Supplementing with Probiotics will help re-seed these good bacteria in our stomach. Adding in a Pre-biotic will also help. Pre-biotics act as a good base for the probiotics (good bacteria) to grow. It’s something like a healthy fertiliser for the bacteria to grow.
With something to suit the whole family, Raw Fusion have world-class Synbiotic (all-in-one) formulations.
Liver Revive’s herbs and vitamins help blitz the movement of bile, fats and toxins from a congested liver and gallbladder, acting as the ideal support over the holidays.
3. Liver Support with N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)
Liver Revive is a wonderful complex liver support supplement, to help support the liver and detoxification pathways. It is a key element in the creation of the strongest antioxidant in our body - Glutathione.
Many clients opt to take this nutrient and herbal infusion throughout the year, to help shift that “hangover” feeling, support healthy fat and cholesterol levels, and clear congested skin.
The typical holiday party diet contains many elements which damage our cells, liver and trigger inflammatory reactions. One way our body will protect itself is through the use of antioxidants. Glutathione is one of the major players in this antioxidant arena to protect our cells.
#4 BONUS TIP: Have a Happy Hydrated Christmas!
Water, the simple and often overlooked part of our diet plays a significant role in keeping us healthy. The proof is in the popularity of our Colonic Hydrotherapy pure water therapy.
Our blood is approximately 90% water and the rest of our body is 60%. This essential fluid does countless wonderful things to support our health:
Adequate water intake allows the digestive tract to move and eliminate food waste properly.
It detoxes the body by flushing out other waste through urine.
Water creates saliva to aid in digestion.
Water can support weight loss.
It also decreases the chance of waking with a hangover.
These are just 3 (plus 1) suggestions to keep a healthy Christmas Colon using supplements over the holidays. You can have a better chance of maintaining your health by limiting specific food groups, but given the year we’ve all had, let’s focus on enjoying the holidays.
We can start fresh with letting go of bad habits come January, but in the meantime, following these suggestions will give you a great boost to look and feel great over Christmas.

Happy Holidays!
