“How to have a healthy colon/Let me count the ways … “ Okay, Shakespeare never wrote a sonnet about the colon, but we think he could have. A healthy colon is poetry in motion – emphasis on the motion!! One of the things we love most about the folks who read our blog is that they understand that a healthy colon is as important as both healthy heart and lungs. And what’s one of the most effective ways to keep the mojo movin’ and groovin’ in the six- foot- wonder- down- under that is your colon? The best colon hydrotherapy NYC has to offer, of course, which you’ll find right here at LYT.

Are colon cleanses healthy?

If you’re exploring how to have a healthy colon, and are new to the idea of colon cleanses, you may have some questions. One of the first things many of our prospective clients ask is: “Are colon cleanses healthy?” The answer is yes. If you missed our recent post on colonics and safety, you may want to check it out. But the bottom line is that with the very rare exception of a few medical conditions, colon hydrotherapy can benefit anyone at any time. Yes, you read right, colon cleanses are healthy!

In fact, colonics have been used for thousands of years to help support a healthy immune system, which in turn allows the body to heal itself as it is meant to do. The procedure is gentle and pain-free and the results – clearer skin, more energy, better digestion and elimination, to name just a few common benefits – put colon hydrotherapy near the top of the Why & How to Have a Healthy Colon list.

What other things help support a healthy colon?

Now that you’re asking, “Are colon cleanses healthy?” — and hopefully, have called us to schedule a colon hydrotherapy session at LYT! – you’re probably wondering what else is on the How to Have a Healthy Colon list. It may not surprise you to learn that diet, exercise and lots of water all feature prominently on the list.

Medical studies have clearly established a link between meat consumption and colon cancer, so we recommend our clients eliminate or at least reduce meat and other animal products from their diets. Instead, consume lots of fresh vegetables, especially greens like kale, collards, Swiss chard and arugula. Our staff is here to help you find the diet that’s perfect for your tastes and needs, and we always welcome your questions.

Exercise is equally important for your healthy colon, so add it to that How to Have a Healthy Colon list! Walk, run, bike, kick-box, do yoga and/or pilates . . . just find something active you enjoy and do it regularly. Work up a sweat and replenish with lots of fresh water.

Finally, remember, one of the best things you can do for your colon is to bathe it regularly with the help of a trained colon hydrotherapist. Still wondering ‘Are colon cleanses healthy?’ Well, wonder no more! You’ll find the best colon hydrotherapy NYC offers, along with lots of other great resources and information right here at LYT. We’d love to help you and your colon get in the best possible health so please give us a call or e-mail us any questions you may have so we can support you!

Breakfast: What’s a Food Combining Vegan to Do?

Search the internet for vegan breakfast ideas and you’ll find plenty of options that will probably give you an immediate bout with indigestion if you’re following the food combining principles we recommend here at LYT. But don’t despair! The world’s healthiest, most glowing superhero, Colonic NYC flies to the rescue, with healthy breakfast food suggestions your taste buds, your tummy, and your colon are going to love.

Read on for some ideas that will send you out the door with the energy you need to save the world – or, you know, at least make it through the NYC subway tunnels and to the office with a smile on your face.

Vegan Breakfast Ideas Begin With The Quick Fix

• Fruit is the ideal healthy breakfast food for hectic mornings, especially now that the weather is getting warmer and fresh fruit will be in season. It’s best to eat fruit alone on an empty stomach, so morning is a perfect time to get all the benefits fruit offers without inadvertently gassing up your system.

• Make a fruit salad the night before and sprinkle it with coconut flakes and cinnamon in the morning for a delicious treat. Remember, avocados combine favorably with fruit, but not melons, and are a fabulous pairing!

• Or just grab a banana and a container of blueberries and enjoy their compatibility and clean-eating on the run. Eating dried fruit? It’s best eaten right after the fresh, juicy fruit. Raisins, dates, mulberries, or figs are delicious options! 

• Green juice is another great vegan breakfast on-the-go. You can make it the night before if you know you’ll be pressed for time. Store it in a mason jar and fill it right to the very top to prevent the least amount of oxidation. Like fruit, it’s best on an empty stomach, shouldn’t be combined with other foods, and will offer you an awesome boost of energy.

The Steady Pace



Another one of our Superhero Colonic NYC’s favorite vegan breakfast ideas isn’t quite as fast as grabbing a piece of fruit, but does share the advantage of being portable. If you have 15 minutes, blend up a Green Velvet smoothie for a great healthy, vegan breakfast on-the-go.

In fact, avocado (the key ingredient in the Green Velvet smoothie) is a terrific healthy breakfast food, with more than 25 essential nutrients, along with fiber, protein and heart-healthy fat. Sliced or mashed up avocado on toasted Ezekiel bread makes a satisfying, vegan breakfast. Another idea is to add a pinch of sea salt and a dash of cinnamon for the spice lover in you!



The Leisurely & Healthy Breakfast Treat

What if you have company, or just want a special breakfast for yourself or your family? We have a vegan breakfast idea for a special occasion, too! You may have never thought of quinoa as a healthy breakfast food but, it’s an alternative to oatmeal and is a fabulous transition food for those new to eating clean. Plus, it’s easy to dress up for company who may have been dreaming of a western-style breakfast. Pep it up with some sautéed, chopped chives and diced, red peppers. Add dashes of chili powder and nutritional yeast and it’s got the makings of Tex-Mex!

Share Your Ideas With Us!



There you have it: some of our favorite vegan breakfast ideas. We’d love to hear how you incorporate healthy breakfast food into your busy morning, so contact us if you have an idea you’d like to share. And, of course, we hope you’ll come see us soon for a colonic or one of our other services to support your healthy transformation.

What do Mike Tyson, Bill Clinton, Anne Hathaway and physicist Brian Greene all have in common?  They’ve discovered the benefits of a vegan diet. If you’ve ever wondered about the benefits of being vegan, this post is a must-read. We’re going to give you some of the most compelling reasons we know to kick meat, eggs and dairy to the curb and learn firsthand the many benefits of vegan diet.

A Vegan Diet Can Give You More Energy

Endurance athletes Brendan Brazier and Scott Jurek fuel their 100+ mile runs solely with plant-based foods. Both swear that after they stopped consuming animal products, their recovery time became quicker and their energy levels rose.

Vegan athlete, Brendan Brazier.

Our work here at LYT has shown us, time and time again, that increased energy is one of the most common benefits of a vegan diet. Digesting food is the most demanding task the body undertakes each day, and animal products make the job more difficult. Benefit from being vegan with the switch to plants and you automatically free up a lot of energy. In addition, when you increase your intake of vegetables in a rainbow of hues, you get more micronutrients and yet another energetic boost. Of course, colonics can supercharge your energy reserves as a wonderful complement to your diet. (And might we add that the best colonics NYC has to offer are right here at LYT! But you knew that, didn’t you?!)

Vegan Diets Have Been Shown to Discourage and Even Reverse Disease

Popular films including Forks Over Knives; Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead; and Simply Raw clearly demonstrate one of the most compelling benefits of a vegan diet: the ability to reverse disease. Some of the diseases that have been eliminated when patients adopted a vegan diet include:

• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• Type 2 diabetes
• Depression
• Some autoimmune diseases,
• Some cases of cancer

Prevention isn’t as dramatic, perhaps, but one of the best benefits of being vegan is knowing that you’re lowering your risk for life-threatening conditions with every healthy, delicious bite. 

Vegan Diets Are Easy on the Planet

Yes, more benefits of being a vegan! Your body isn’t the only one that will thrive when you switch from meat to plants! Mother Nature also reaps the benefits of a vegan diet. It’s been said – with good reason – that a vegetarian driving a Hummer will have less negative impact on the environment than a carnivore who drives a Prius. Some estimates say it takes more than 2500 gallons of water to raise just one pound of beef, and the methane gas emitted by livestock causes more damage to the o-zone than any other factor. Further, animals raised for consumption suffer in appalling conditions, so choosing not to be a meat-eater is a humane and ethical choice that can have a more subtle, but equally real, effect on your overall health.

Vegans Have More Fun! 

Okay, we may not be able to prove this empirically, but from our own experience, we’re pretty sure this is yet another of the many benefits of a vegan diet.  And don’t Betty White, Ellen DeGeneres and Russell Brand, who all are vegan, always seem to be having a pretty good time? In short, a vegan diet and colonics are both great ways to lighten up–literally and figuratively!

Don’t Be Lax About Laxatives! Want to know why we’re diving into a topic as potentially uncomfortable as the dangers of laxatives this week? Four words: We care about you! Please know that even mild laxatives are not meant for frequent use. In the United States alone, consumers spend more than $700 million on laxatives each year. Before you add to that number, here are some things you should know.

There’s nothing LOVABLE about LAXATIVES!

3 Common Dangers of Laxatives

Before you commit to buying them, you should know the dangers of laxatives. Laxatives can cause:

• Diarrhea

• Nausea

• Severe

• Cramping

• Vomiting

Your body reacts to laxatives as it does to any other toxin you might ingest; red alarms go off to alert to the presence of something that shouldn’t be there, and your body attempts to purge itself of the offending substance. And, just as dehydration can occur when your system is trying to rid itself of rotten food or the invaders that cause the flu, you can easily dehydrate after taking a laxative.

Another major danger of laxatives is that they are easy to misuse. The Catch-22 is built right in: you use laxatives because you want to restore normal bowel function; but if you’re reaching for a laxative, you’ve already lost normal bowel function, and probably don’t know – or have forgotten – what it looks and feels like to have a healthy movement. If you’re not eliminating well, there is a dietetic or neurological issue that no laxative can solve. You need to look at your diet and ensure you’re getting lots of fresh, nutrient-dense food. Then take steps to rehabilitate your colon; try working with a skilled colon hydrotherapist like the ones here at LYT.

Laxatives can be addictive. Yet another danger inherent to laxative use is the fact that these products can be physically addictive, in the sense that your body can become so dependent on them that it won’t be able to produce a bowel movement without them.

Colon Cleanse vs. Laxatives

There IS a better way! Enter the game-changer, Colonic NYC, LYT’s healthy superhero. (Only, you know, without the snappy cape and boots.) A colonic addresses the same problems laxatives claim to address, but without the inherent dangers of laxatives. Still wondering why colon cleanse vs. laxatives?

Colonics cleanse the system, while laxatives do not. A colonic bathes the colon with pure water, loosening and gently removing accumulated material.

Colonics strengthen what laxatives weaken. Colonics actually strengthen and condition the colon. A trained colon hydrotherapist is like a personal trainer for your colon. The peristaltic muscles so necessary for a healthy bowel movement gets stronger with every colonic you have.

Colonics encourage healing. With colonics added to your health regimen, your body’s capacity to heal will astound you. Colonics are a great way to assist the process since they improve your immune system.

In the colon cleanse vs. laxatives debate, colonics are always the clear winner, with so many real health benefits and none of the dangers of laxatives. To get the most from a colon cleanse, we always encourage our clients to check out our Colonics Rock page and remember, our team of experts in NYC is always available to answer your questions.  

How to Fight Fatigue, Combat Stress and Boost Your Energy Reserves

Want to know how to fight fatigue, combat stress and boost your energy reserves? We’ll get right to the point: it’s easier than you think. There are foods that fight fatigue, and building your diet around them can make a world of difference in the way you feel.

Foods that Fight Fatigue by Decreasing Inflammation

Many of us are low on energy because our bodies are in a constant state of low-level inflammation, so it’s important to eat the foods that fight fatigue and avoid those that cause it, like sugar and alcohol, for example. If you’re wondering how to fight fatigue on a daily basis, you’ll want to follow an anti-inflammatory diet. Fortunately, this is easy to do. Here are some basics to keep in mind:

• “Veg out.” Vegetables are perhaps the best foods to fight fatigue. They help boost your energy levels because they are easy to assimilate. They contain fiber, which helps move food through your system naturally, and they are less irritating to the colon than foods like animal products, or processed and refined foods. Vegetables leave less residue behind, and less residue means less inflammation.
• Almost all vegetables will help your body reduce its level of inflammation but some are such high performers that that you’ll want to give them a starring role whenever possible. Try any of these members of the Brassica family, which all are great sources of the flavonoids and anti-oxidants your body craves to fight fatigue:
• Kale – tear the leaves from the rib to use in a salad, or try it sautéed with ginger and garlic, or lightly steamed with a touch of lemon juice.
• Cabbage – shred it and add a light dressing, or use it in a soup.
• Broccoli and Cauliflower – great in salads and stir-fry dishes, or steamed in a small amount of bouillon seasoned water (Seitenbacher’s broth is great) but also try these cruciferous superstars steamed, with lemon and a sprinkle of Bragg’s Amino Acids for a simple, yummy side dish.
• Avocado, mushrooms, onions and garlic should also be staples on your shopping list of foods that fight fatigue.
• Spice things up! Many spices, including cinnamon, cloves, and ginger are powerful and delicious ways to fight inflammation. Turmeric, which lends its bright yellow color to curry, deserves special mention for its inflammation-fighting abilities. Try it in stir fries or even smoothies.
• Go nuts! Walnuts, particularly, can help keep inflammation at bay. In one study as little as four walnuts increased blood levels of omega-3s, which help the body manage inflammation. 4 walnuts! Now that’s how to fight fatigue! 

Juicing

And colonics! NYC is not just stressful because it is fast-paced. It’s also dirty, and your system is pretty much constantly under attack. Your body needs all the help it can get to “take out the trash.” Juicing will flood your cells with readily-available nutrients, and colonics will flush out the stuff that’s dragging you down. Together, they’re a dynamic duo in the how-to-fight-fatigue arsenal, and are sure to boost your energy level and your mood.

So now you know how to fight fatigue! And with summer just around the corner, we know you’ll put that extra energy to good use!

To schedule a consultation to see how else our team of holistic healers can help keep your energy boosted this summer, please contact us online or give us a call at 212-696-1800.

Tips and Tools

Last week we gave you some great spring detox basics to help you plan a spring cleanse. A natural body detox is a key component of this process, so this week, we’ll go a little deeper and give you some easy-to-use tips and tools for effective, natural cleansing.

Tip: Get Back To Basics With Your Natural Body Detox

Attending to the basics is absolutely critical for a natural body detox. This includes:

• Exercise

• Water intake

• Deep breathing

• Rest

While you’re actively eliminating your toxins, remember to be gentle with yourself. You may need more time alone than you usually do, and you will definitely need to make sure you’re getting enough sleep.

Exercise! Christopher Harrison’s AntiGravity® Yoga is a phenomenal stress-reliever and detox tool! Even Katie Couric has gotten in on the action.

Tool: Food Combining Chart

To keep your digestive track in top form, remember to follow the principles of Food Combining that we encourage at LYT for natural cleansing. If you find it to be confusing at first, take a peek at our suggested meal plan that makes it really easy-breezy.

Our food combining chart is available on our website for free! Just click the link above to access it & start detoxing easy-peasy!

Page 2 of our Food Combining Chart. Loaded with simple suggestions to help you maintain your spring detox at every meal!

Tip: Lighten Up.

We’re talking about lightening your daily load of toxins. Eating foods like meat, dairy, white flour and sugar, and/or drinking alcohol always taxes your body, but when you’re working on a natural body detox, it’s especially important that you avoid them. One great way to make sure you’re only putting in the nutrients you need for neutralizing acidic toxins to assist natural cleansing is to try a juice fast. Take a long weekend and try a three day fast, and you’ll be amazed at the results. Don’t feel ready to make that leap? Commit to juicing until dinner while you’re on your detox plan or, at the very least, choose days of the week to avoid alcohol, animal products and desserts completely.

You can elevate detoxification by taking a break from poor foods – you don’t have to be extreme just be more conscious of your choices!

Tool: Colonic Irrigation.

Looking for a life-changer? The most transformational colonic irrigation NYC serves up is right here for you at LYT! Put the clean in natural cleansing by scheduling gravity colon hydrotherapy treatments. This may be the single-most powerful thing you can do to aid your system in a natural body detox. Flushing away mucus and putrefying fecal matter will make it easier for your body to absorb nutrients and will help re-establish the micro-flora ecosystem so important for good health. After colonic irrigation, you will probably find that your natural cleansing gives you more energy, and don’t be surprised if your friends comment that your eyes are sparkling and your skin is all-a-glow! 

Co-Founder Joyce Rockwood explains the gravity colon hydrotherapy procedure.

Tip: Remember To Ask For Help If You Need It.

Designing a natural body detox may be easier with a little expert advice. Many alternative therapy practitioners, including those here at LYT, can help you customize a program that will work best for you and provide you with moral and “technical” support in case you hit any unexpected snags.

NOTE: If you are pregnant, or have any special health challenges, do not attempt a body detox or any substantial lifestyle change without consulting your doctor or comparable health care professional.

Spring Detox Cleanse: 3 Easy Ways to Refresh Your Body and Mind



April showers are here and that means it’s time to think of a spring detox cleanse. While you’re throwing open the windows and clearing dust bunnies or cobwebs from the corners of your home, it’s also a great time to spring clean your body and mind. Of course we think a good cleanse should include colon hydrotherapy to ensure that you’re left feeling light and refreshed inside and out. Here are some other things to consider as you plan your cleanse.



Why Do A Spring Detox Cleanse?

Your body is on guard 24/7 to protect you from the toxins that you ingest, like white flour or sugar, for example; the ones you touch, like inks and dyes; and the ones in the air you breathe. Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA tracks 187 air pollutants, and that doesn’t include natural irritants like pollen. Add to that the 3Ps of processed, prepared and packaged foods and it’s easy to see how a body could be overwhelmed. So give yours some TLC this spring. Clean your body by setting your intention for a weekend, a week, or a month and head into summer with a spring in your step. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you design your spring detox cleanse.



1. Make Your Spring Detox Cleanse Juicy!



Literally! Incorporating lots of fresh juice – especially if you include the juice of naturally detoxifying vegetables like celery and cilantro – will help to move the poisons out of your system and give you a boost of nutrition besides. Buy organic vegetables, to ensure you’re not putting pesticide residues into the body you’re working so hard to spring clean. Your body will appreciate the juice because juicing can increase your energy levels and make your skin glow!

2. Exercise.



Get outside for a walk, a run, or some yoga in the park. Your body and your mind need the sunshine, and the movement will help your digestion and improve your sleep. Try to move fast enough and go far enough to work up a good sweat. Sweating is one of the ways your body detoxifies naturally, so it’s a key component of any successful spring detox cleanse. 

3. Infrared Sauna: Just Lie Down & Sweat!

Supercharge the effects with an Infrared Sauna detox treatment. We offer this service at LYT because infrared waves are able to penetrate your organs at the cellular level for the optimum spring detox. The part you may like best is that all you have to do is lie back and relax as your toxins ride the infrared waves right out of your body!

Co-Founder Cindy Suarez with LYT’s Infrared Dome Sauna – just lie down, relax, & sweat!

Want More Tips To Spring Clean Your Body?



Next week we’ll give you more great tips to help you design a spring detox cleanse, including specific foods you may want to incorporate, and a way to naturally boost your body’s alkaline levels to help neutralize acidic toxins.

 Meanwhile, don’t forget the LYT team of experts is just a call away if you want us to help you customize your spring detox cleanse, or you decide to supercharge your detox program with the best colon hydrotherapy NYC has to offer!

A true Spring Cleaning taps into your body, mind, & spirit! A spring detox that includes LYT’s tips and therapies helps you engage all three!

Colon Hydrotherapy Risks: Dangers Involved in Your Colonics Procedure Can Be Easily Avoided

Wonder if there are colon hydrotherapy risks? Have you ever asked a doctor about colonics and received a list of the dangers of colon hydrotherapy? Well then, let’s talk. In our experience, risk is increased if a person’s body is vulnerable or their health is considerably compromised. This is why LYT has a thorough health history intake upon booking so that we understand any health issues up front and greatly avoid colon hydrotherapy risks. We share colonic preparation information to help you have the safest, most comfortable, and quite simply, the best colonic experience possible given your individualized needs. By the way, our therapists are exceptionally knowledgeable and just purely awesome at sharing tips to help you improve your health and maintain it for life! Yes, we’re in it to share the longevity this lifestyle has to offer you!

Curious About Colonics? Properly research it to understand the facts.

Dangers of Colon Hydrotherapy: Avoid the Risks

Let’s be frank about the dangers of colon hydrotherapy; it’s not the therapy that is dangerous. The risks do not exist in the treatment itself. After all, we are giving your colon a gentle bath. However, that being said, there may be potential factors with the client’s health history that lead us to suggest alternative therapies or protocols. There are circumstances such as specific surgical procedures, medications, and bodily conditions that may not allow for your colonic treatment to be administered comfortably or safely. We offer guidelines for these situations and often times a client can receive their colon hydrotherapy treatment at a later date in order to avoid these risks. If a client’s health circumstances prevent colon hydrotherapy from being administered altogether, we are upfront about that and offer sensible alternatives to support their health goals and avoid any dangers of colon hydrotherapy.

Be passionate about your curiosity!

If you follow our instructions and preparation guidelines, there are no dangers of colon hydrotherapy. That’s right, the ‘colon hydrotherapy risks’ don’t exist! The LYT Method Colonic is gentle and effective. We encourage all clients to be honest about their state of health. Please don’t put yourself at risk by ignoring the contraindications for colon hydrotherapy. Reduce any possible danger by preparing your body for your colonic session, following post colonic suggestions, and be certain to avoid recreational drugs (yep, that includes alcohol) before and after your colonic treatments. Get high from vibrant health!

LYT Method Colonics in NYC have served and assisted thousands of clients seeking a more balanced and refined lifestyle. We believe your experience of the most profound colonics NYC has to offer is right here with us at LYT!

Colonic Irrigation Procedure: LYTNYC Experts Simplify It For You

Let’s de-mystify the colonic irrigation procedure! Whether you call it a colonic, colon hydrotherapy or colonic irrigation, the procedure of administering a colonic is simply a bathing of your large intestine with purified water. That’s it! Finito! Finale! Basta! The end! So, if it’s that simple, what’s all the controversy about? Since 1999, we’ve seen offices offering colonic irrigation in NYC double and even triple. Yet, the colonic irrigation procedure remains a mystery for many and taboo in the medical world. Stories circulate about perforated colons, compromised friendly bacteria, reduced electrolytes, and loss of bowel control/dependency. Doctors have placed fear in people when it comes to cleansing from within. Hey, what’s up doc? Let’s break it down with our expertise.

The Truth About Detoxification Can Save Your Health!

1. Perforation: In a LYT Method Gravity Colonic in NYC, there is a continuous flow of water, in and out of the client’s body, which means that you’re not being filled up like a balloon. We do allow your colon to part-take in retentions of with water BUT this is done after some of the gas and matter has emptied which creates room for sensible supervised retentions. This is a therapist administered and NOT machine controlled procedure. Molto importante! Why? Because you don’t want a machine forcing water into your bum or any other part of your body. You want a human being there with you that is sensitive to your rhythm and the state of your colon. No instruments are traveling through your colon in the colonic irrigation procedure, only warm water.

2. Loss of friendly bacteria: Darling please! You think those margaritas, processed foods, and medications aren’t impairing your friendly bacteria? If you like your friends, treat them well and they’ll be loving and loyal. The way to maintain healthy bacteria is to drink and eat nutritious fresh juices and foods, include probiotics (vegan please), and make sure your bowels are moving and grooving so that waste is not sitting around putrefying, fermenting, and destroying your internal balance and impairing your friendly bacteria. Intestinally speaking, you have to keep the poop moving so your gut can rejuvenate you!

Colonic Irrigation Increases & Supports Friendly Bacteria

3. Loss of electrolytes and bowel control or dependency: Now this is getting crazy! Simply put, electrolytes are compounds that get transported in a salty fluid to assist electrical impulses, muscle function, hydration, and PH level. Serious stuff! That’s why we remind you to drink water, raw coconut water, and fresh veggie juices, always, and especially right after your colonic irrigation procedure. If your body is impacted with waste and gas then your absorption becomes limited. In all the years of our experience with colonic irrigation, we’ve never seen in ourselves or in our clients a loss of bowel control or dependency. We work with the Wood’s Gravity Method, which does not weaken your peristalsis. To the contrary, this colonic irrigation method gives your colon a work out, toning and strengthening this vital muscle as the waste matter is alleviated. It just makes sense!

Electrolytes are abundant in raw coconut water, raw fruits/vegetables, & nuts. You can even add a pinch of sea salt to your drinking water for sodium enrichment.

Colonic Hydrotherapy NYC: LYT Method Simplifies Your Experience

A colon hydrotherapy treatment is meant to assist your body in removing pollutants that have accumulated from the day to day living of our modern, fast-paced, NYC lifestyle. We have designed the LYT colonic irrigation prep to be easy for anyone to apply. We are sure you will find that the LYT Method colonic irrigation procedure is expertly administered by our skillful, knowledgeable and certified therapists and is synonymous with the best colon hydrotherapy NYC has to offer!

Colonics allow us to live our lives with the ultimate flow and tap into our highest potential.

Taking the colonic leap? Awesome! We’ve got some easy-peasy ‘to do’s’ before a colonic. Did you know that preparing for a colonic doesn’t require a juice fast? Although incorporating fresh pressed juices (not the bottled/pasteurized stuff) the days before is highly recommended, simply increasing the amount of wholesome foods will help you to prepare sufficiently for a colonic. At LYT, once you book your appointment, (heck, it’s even posted for free on our website), we offer simple preparation guidelines that help support you before a colonic to insure you have the best results.

Preparing For A Colonic: 3 Or More Days Leading Up To A Colonic

It’s not just about what you do the day of a colonic that yields positive results during and after your treatment. Ideally, preparing for a colonic should begin at least 2-3 days prior – like rehearsing for an audition. These easy-to-follow tips will help you create the best possible outcome for your session.

1. Drink Water: You can add lemon, lime, mint leaves, etc. Just hydrate. : )

2. Drink Fresh Veggie Juice: Morning is best! Allow about 30-40 minutes between juice and the next meal.

3. Increase Your Salads and Vegetables: These are anti-inflammatory foods that will act like a broom helping your body loosen matter.

4. Food Combining: This is a smart way to eat before or after a colonic and as a regular practice.

5. Protein Smarts: If you are going to eat protein, choose the lighter versions like fish, chicken or turkey & eat them at dinner vs. lunch in the absence of starches.

Before a Colonic: The Day Of Your Treatment:

The smartest way to begin preparing for a colonic is to drink fresh veggie juice and water, and eat either fruit and/or salad (but not at the same time) the day of the session. Keep it light! Depending on the time of your appointment, you’ll want to allow yourself at least 2 hours free of eating or juicing prior to your session. Keep in mind that it’s not optimal to eat heavy meals or processed foods before a colonic. Keep it simple!
