Colon Hydro-Therapy
What is it?
The proper term for colon cleansing is colon hydro-therapy, not to be confused with colonics. It is the process of cleansing the lower bowel with low pressure warm water. This process has been practiced as early as the 1900s, and in 1917 there was a doctor that reported in the Journal of American Medicine that he treated over 40,000 cases of gastrointestinal disease in his patients – all but twenty required NO SURGERY. Of course the instruments and technology have evolved improving the process and is one that clients report as being both relaxing and rejuvenating.
If you have a large belly, experience bloating, gas and other symptoms – it is probably not your stomach that has grown to that size. It is probably your colon. Keep in mind the distance food travels through the digestive system is about 30 ½ feet from your mouth until elimination. The small intestine averages between 20-25 feet in length and the large intestine is about 5 ½ feet long.
Most of what we consume makes its way to the small intestine and then the large intestine, where most of it may be stored and become impacted over time. This causes symptoms like constipation, gas, and bloating, unless you have adopted a daily diet of raw whole foods and fiber to assist in elimination. The food tends to get trapped in the tiny little pockets of the colon making it difficult to extract or eliminate. Unlike colonics, colon hydro-therapy also tones the colon.
What are some of the benefits?
- Weight loss of 2 to 7 pounds is possible in the first 1 to 3 treatments
- May eliminate lower back pain, which may be caused by constipation
- Increases hydration of the colon and supports elimination
- Decreases flatulence, bloating
- Relieves diarrhea and constipation
- Increase in energy and supports immune system
- Helps tone the colon to assist in elimination and promote health and wellness.
- Helps prepare you for annual colonoscopy up to 2 hours before appointment thereby eliminating the need to drink prescribed mixtures and stay home from work. Please discuss this process with your doctor before scheduled appointment.
Infrared Sauna Therapy
What is it?
Infrared sauna therapy looks like a traditional sauna but penetrates the skin more deeply, heating the tissue beneath the skin and increasing the heart rate by 50-75%. Radiant heat is used and warms only the body and not the air, making it much more comfortable to be in for a period of 30-60 minutes. It is similar to the natural sun. Toxins are introduced into our body by way of the everyday products that we use, such as hair color, deodorants, smoking and our diets. The sauna provides a passage for these toxins to exit the body in a very gentle and noninvasive process. Clients should shower after each session.
What are the benefits?
- Provides all the benefits of a 30 minute jogging session
- Detoxes and nourishes skin
- Increases heart rate and increases blood flow
- Cleans and improves the skin tissue and flushes out toxins
- Great for sore muscles, stiffness, joint pain and arthritis.
- Comfortable for people who have respiratory issues (lower temperature)

What is it?
Juicing for Jocks fresh juice bar offers a small variety of fresh fruit juices and fresh vegetable juices, along with a healthy smoothie option each day. Our fresh juices are not just for jocks, but after drinking them daily you will begin to feel like an athlete and you’ll perform like one as well.
Juicing is the extracting or liquefying of fresh fruits and vegetables by using a commercial juicing machine. The machine is so powerful that it removes the fiber or pulp from the fruit or vegetables, leaving you with the fresh juice that begins to digest and hydrate the body immediately in the mouth. By drinking one 12 oz glass of juice, you are actually able to get the benefits of a large volume of fruits and veggies, which would normally not be possible by eating and/or chewing. Juicing is an easy and healthy way of getting an abundance of nutrients immediately into your system so you can go about your day and not worry about getting your daily requirement of vitamins and nutrients. Although the fiber is removed from fresh juicing you shouldn't worry about being deficient in fiber, because you're able to get enough fiber from other parts of your daily diet. A fresh smoothie is made in a blender, which does not extract the fiber or pulp, so it still contains the fiber.
Either way – you will gain the following benefits by adding either a fresh juice or a fresh smoothie to your diet each day. We recommend having a juice or smoothie in the morning instead of a regular breakfast and see how your body responds.
Fresh juice is not altered in anyway and does not contain chemicals or preservatives to sustain “shelf-life”. This is the most important and beneficial reason to consume fresh juice versus buying juice in the stores. It requires chemicals and/or preservatives in order for it to live on those shelves for any period of time. Fresh juicing is “live food” and it must be consumed within 20 to 25 minutes after it is processed.
Consumption of more live foods versus processed foods will not only benefit the way your body looks, feels and functions on the inside, but you will definitely see the difference on the outside. EAT LIVE – LOOK LIVE – EAT DEAD – LOOK DEAD!
Juicing for Jocks was published in 2004 and the book is available for sale at our juice bar. The author, Joan Fiame, will conduct in-house classes and lectures; inviting speakers from the many wellness circles in and outside of the Quad Cities. The goal is to generate awareness among young athletes, coaches and their families on the many health benefits associated with a fresh juicing lifestyle for peak performance; not only in their sports of choice, but in all phases of their lives!
What are the benefits?
- Hydrates the body (cells and muscles)
- Increases energy and strengthens immune system
- Replaces any meal of the day and supports weight loss
- Relieves symptoms of colds and allergies
- Improves digestion and assists in elimination

- Ozone steam, or active oxygen, is a form of oxygen (03) that is harmless in small quantities. Ozone is used to purify water systems in some countries. Draws toxins out of the body easily, and breaks down complex chemicals in the body, like pesticides and germs that make their way into our blood stream. Increases energy levels.
