Colonics & Parasites: Why This Is a BIG No-No 🚫

Parasites don’t just “live in the colon” waiting to be flushed out. Swipe 👉 to learn why colonic irrigation can miss the real problem, disrupt your gut, and even make symptoms worse.

✨ Quick truths
• Parasites require proper identification, not forceful flushing
• Colonics don’t address root causes or life cycles
• Gut lining + microbiome damage = HUGE 🚩
• More isn’t better when it comes to detoxing

🧠 When it comes to parasites, a strategy is better than shortcuts.
Education, testing, and targeted support matter.

"It impacts your happiness, your social life, it impacts really all facets of your life."

Modern life asks a lot of our systems. And when they’re under pressure, the signals get louder - fatigue, distraction, overwhelm. All of which can be rooted in the gut.

This isn’t about fixing yourself.

It’s about understanding what’s actually happening.

Alternative milks are everywhere, and many of us skip dairy for lots of good reasons. But if you’re curious how your current diet shows up in your fatty-acid profile, one marker to know is C15:0 (pentadecanoic acid), an odd-chain saturated fatty acid found in whole-fat milk and dairy.

Genova Connect offers fatty acid testing, including C15:0 so you can see where your level sits and decide if any nutrition changes make sense for you. Testing empowers personalization without guesswork, just data you can act on.

How our Fatty15 and Fatty Acid tests works: A simple dried blood spot sample allows us to quantifies pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) and report it as both a percent and a concentration.

Interested? Check out the Fatty15 Test for C15:0 alone, Essential & Metabolic Fatty Acids profile or Metabolomix+ that report C15:0 along with other vitamin and mineral needs.

Leaky gut (aka increased permeability) happens when the lining of your gut gets “too porous,” letting things through that shouldn’t… and it affects how you feel far beyond digestion.
Common contributors include chronic stress, ultra-processed foods, antibiotics, and ongoing inflammation.

Some people notice things like: bloating or discomfort, new food sensitivities, fatigue or brain fog, skin flare-ups, achy joints, and feeling inflamed.

If you suspect it, the best first step isn’t guessing a fix – it’s getting clarity. Genova’s Gut Health Test (GI Effects) looks at key markers tied to gut inflammation, digestion, microbiome balance, unwanted microbes, and indicators linked to intestinal permeability (leaky gut) so you can take the next step with real data (and a plan that actually fits your body).

When your body is out of balance, it can show up in unexpected ways: bloating, breakouts, low mood, or anxious thoughts. These symptoms are your body’s way of asking for support.

Everything inside you is connected: your gut health affects your skin, your energy, and even your mental wellbeing. By identifying and correcting these internal imbalances, you can move toward lasting wellness instead of just chasing temporary fixes.

Test your gut to get the receipts on what's disturbing your peace.
