In this conversation, host Erica Carroll interviews Amanda Dejak, a I-ACT Certified Colon Hydrotherapist and Registered Holistic Nutritionist who discusses the often-taboo subjects of colonics and hydrotherapy and shares profound insights into digestive health, detoxification, and the transformative potential of colon hydrotherapy.

The discussion delves into the importance of elimination, the emotional aspects of health, the safety and hygiene of colonic procedures, and neurological factors affecting digestion, and the significance of preventative health in a toxin-laden modern world. It also touches on the personal journey that led Amanda to become a colon hydrotherapist. The conversation emphasizes the importance of preventative health and the need for kindness in understanding digestive issues.

“Be kind because you never know who's constipated.”

Amanda is an I-ACT Certified Colon Hydrotherapist and a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. She started her journey in natural healthcare in 2009 after graduating as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist from the Canadian School for Natural Nutrition.

She immediately began working at the Center for Biological Medicine in Ontario, Canada. After 5 years it became very clear that there was a need to provide the patients with more resources for healthy detoxification.

In 2014 Amanda completed the certification program through Prime Pacific Health innovations to be a colon hydrotherapist. She then used the skills she learned to run her own colonics business for 5 years. In that time, she worked with many individuals dealing with cancer and Lyme disease. It became her priority to make sure that every client got the necessary care and treatment needed for their unique circumstances.

Amanda continues to expand her interests and scope of understanding in the field of detoxification. It is her focus to help you achieve your health goals.
