What Did I Do to My Body That Shocked Nate and Helped Him Lose 9.5 Pounds in Just 8 Days

Hey family 💛 I’m opening up today about something I never thought I’d do — and never thought I’d share. But here we are. Me and Nate had our very first colonic (colon hydrotherapy)... and whew, what a journey it’s been. I’m telling y’all right now, this story is deeper than just detox. It’s about facing fears, listening to your body, and learning how to let go — literally.

The Mental Battle Before the Cleanse

Let me be real: I was nervous. The kind of nervous that keeps you up at night. I had heard about colonics years ago and swore I’d never do it. I mean, come on — it’s not exactly glamorous. But lately, I’ve been on a mission to care for my body at a deeper level, especially as I get older. And when I read about the benefits, I knew it was time.

That morning, I made a healing juice with pear, apple, ginger, turmeric, broccoli, celery, lime, and lemon. I added MCT oil and hemp oil for nourishment. Like always, I paused, prayed, and thanked God for the chance to heal — from the inside out.

Juice Fast Life: Day 9 and Counting

At that point, I had been juice fasting for 9 days. Nothing but fresh juices. Nate was on day 8. He lost 9.5 pounds — I didn’t lose a single pound — but y’all... my spirit felt lighter. My body felt open, calm, and ready. I had this peace I can’t describe.

I brought a big time-marked water bottle to stay hydrated and coconut water to replenish electrolytes. I knew from past experiences that your body can lose fluids fast during any kind of deep cleanse. Hydration was key.

The Colonic Room: Where It Got Real

Nate went first. And let me tell you, he was NOT a fan 😂. He described it as "nonstop diarrhea” with serious belly pressure. His session was about 45 minutes — 35 minutes of cleansing and 10 minutes of just water passing through.

Then it was my turn. I was still scared, but curious too. The tube insertion — let me keep it 💯 — was uncomfortable at first. I had to breathe through it. But once we got going, I started to feel it working.

That Strange Sensation

When the water first enters your body, it’s... weird. Like that tight, full feeling when you're constipated, except you’re being asked to hold it in. That’s how the waste breaks down and releases. What surprised me most? No smell. None. That was a blessing — because if there was, I would've been out that door 😅.

Tommy, our therapist, was amazing. She explained every step, kept us calm, and was right there if we needed her. There was even a little bell in the room to call for help.

After the Flush

My session was shorter than Nate’s, but I still felt like there was more left. I could feel my belly go down flatter as I lay there. I even felt what I can only describe as “knots” releasing — like little twisted ropes coming undone, just like I saw in those detox videos.

So What’s Next?

I’m definitely going back for 2–3 more sessions until I feel completely cleansed. They say the second time is way easier — your body knows what’s coming and there’s less to remove.

When I got home, I made another juice and added MCT oil again. A clean colon means your body can absorb nutrients way better — and I want to make every sip count.

Thinking About Trying It? Here's My Truth.

It’s not the most comfortable thing in the world — but it left me feeling refreshed, empty in a good way, and lighter in spirit. If you're considering it, prepare mentally and drink tons of water before and after.

Everybody’s experience is different. I actually enjoyed it. Nate? Not so much. But we both walked away agreeing it was an important part of our healing journey.

Final Thoughts from Blove 💕

As always, we keep God first in all we do. Me and Nate are just trying to become better — physically, mentally, and spiritually. And this? This was part of that growth. It's not about trends, it's about truth. It’s about caring for this body God gave us — with intention and grace.
