When was the last time you thought about your colon? For most people, it’s not until something goes wrong — bloating, irregularity, inflammation, or that dreaded diverticulitis diagnosis — that it finally gets their attention.

In this episode of Connecting with the Thom’s, we’re breaking down what your colon is really trying to tell you — and why it’s one of the most important (and misunderstood) systems in the body.

From the biological medicine perspective, your colon isn’t just a waste chute — it’s a primary drainage organ that plays a vital role in detoxification, immune balance, and even emotional regulation. When it’s congested or inflamed, every other system pays the price.

We’ll explore:

• 💩 The real connection between colon health and whole-body toxicity

• 🔥 What causes diverticulitis and how to support healing naturally

• 🧠 Why your gut and nervous system are constantly in conversation

• 🩺 Colonoscopies — when they’re helpful, when they’re not, and how to make an informed choice

• 🌿 How to gently support your colon through biological drainage, hydration, and emotional release

If you’ve ever wondered “Should I get a colonoscopy?” or “Why do my gut symptoms keep coming back?” — this conversation will bring clarity, context, and practical tools to help you make empowered decisions for your health.

Because your colon isn’t just a part of your digestive system — it’s a mirror of your inner terrain.
