Why I Braved My First Coffee Enema… and Why I Kept Going
In today’s world, we are constantly exposed to toxins—in our food, water, air, and even personal care products.
But what’s your exit strategy?
How do we help our bodies eliminate what doesn’t serve us?
During my 8-Week CHI Breakthrough Health Coaching Program with Diane Kazer, I was introduced to coffee enemas.
I was skeptical. Nervous.
But I was also ready for a serious cleanse—my liver was overworked, and after recovering from pneumonia, I needed a fresh start.
I braved it… and honestly?
💥 My colon and liver loved it.
What Is a Coffee Enema?
A coffee enema is an ancient healing ritual where brewed organic coffee is introduced into the colon through the rectum.
But it’s not about caffeine absorption—it’s about stimulating the liver and gallbladder to flush out toxins.
The caffeine travels through the portal vein to the liver and increases the production of glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant.
Benefits of Coffee Enemas

✔️ Improves digestion & reduces bloating
✔️ Boosts energy & mental clarity
✔️ Reduces anxiety and brain fog
✔️ Banishes Candida & supports gut reset
✔️ Clears skin and reduces chronic inflammation

These aren’t just claims—many practitioners and holistic healers have used them as supportive therapy for conditions like cancer, depression, and chronic toxicity.
❓ FAQ: Common Questions About Coffee Enemas
Q: Is it safe to do a coffee enema at home?
Yes—when done properly and hygienically with organic ingredients and filtered water. Always research and check with a practitioner if you're unsure.
Q: Won’t it deplete my gut bacteria?
Only if overused. Like anything, balance is key. Replenish good bacteria afterward with probiotics or fermented foods.
Q: Will my colon become “lazy”?
Not if used occasionally. Enemas are tools, not crutches. Use them mindfully for detox, not daily elimination.
Q: How often can I do it?
Start with once a week or during a short-term detox phase. Tune into your body’s signals.
