Let's Talk About Poop: Trusting Your Gut with Marina Ortega

In this episode, Dr. Keiko sits down with Marina Ortega, founder of Scottsdale Hydrotherapy and Trust Your Gut, to explore the fascinating and often misunderstood world of colon hydrotherapy. Marina shares her personal journey from debilitating constipation and chronic illness to becoming a leading voice in gut health and detoxification.

Together, we dive into the science, history, and surprising emotional layers of gut healing. You'll learn why supporting your drainage pathways is essential, how the gut is directly tied to immunity and mood, and what you can expect if you're curious about colonics.
