In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Marina Ortega, founder of Scottsdale Hydrotherapy and co-creator of Trust Your Gut, to unpack the real, often unspoken truth about gut health, detoxification, and resilience.
Marina shares her deeply personal journey through chronic constipation, black mold exposure, and being bedridden with no clear medical answers, experiences that ultimately pushed her to reclaim her health and dedicate her life’s work to helping others do the same.
Drawing from nearly 30 years of experience and over 30,000 colon hydrotherapy sessions, Marina explains why the gut is the foundation of vitality, how colonics, castor oil therapy, coffee enemas, and lymphatic support actually work, and why opening detox pathways is critical before any cleanse.
The conversation also explores entrepreneurship, fear, and courage — from leaving a secure corporate career to building a trusted wellness community by showing up authentically and talking about the things most people avoid.
Known affectionately as the “Poop Fairy,” Marina brings science, compassion, and humor to a topic that affects everyone, empowering listeners to trust their gut, advocate for their health, and take control of their healing journey.Website-www.scottsdalehydrotherapy.com
