If you’ve spent your summer indulging in ways that make you want to throw your bathroom scale out the window, you may need to take a gut-healing detox retreat before the holidays arrive. Rather than navigating a detox or juice cleanse by yourself at home, why not consider a Gut Health Detox retreat? In as little as three days, you could be on your way to feeling lighter and boosting your overall health.
With exotic and expensive wellness travel destinations cropping up in countries such as Bali and Indonesia, knowing where to find retreats closer to home is crucial. To save money on travel expenses, leave your passport at home. Here are the top 3 gut-healing detox retreats in the USA for the fall of 2024.

5, 7, or 10 Day Detox Retreat on an Organic Farm in Eugene, Oregon
For the ultimate wellness detox, spend time at Good Earth Retreat on their 30-acre certified organic farm. Good Earth Retreat offers support for personal cleansing journeys. You can choose fresh, organic juices for your juice fast or fresh, raw vegan food. Good Earth Retreat accepts guests for three, five, seven, or 10-day packages but only supports juice fasts for five, seven, or ten days as three days is too short to be effective. Guests are accepted any day of the week, provided they have space. Airport transfers are also included.
Good Earth Retreat is located on the outskirts of Eugene on a dead-end road right on the river. Although downtown Eugene is just 10 miles away, you will feel as if you are 100 miles from town. Good Earth Retreat riverfront faces an uninhabited island, and they border a walk in the park, so there are no houses or buildings in sight. The farm is on a flyway, so there is an abundance of birdlife year-round.

How to Transition into Better Gut Health After a Retreat
A Gut Health Detox retreat is a great way to improve digestion, bloating, and inflammation. Once you’ve started healing your digestive system, you’ll want to continue supporting your gut health by following a few simple rules.
Rule #1: Ditch the processed foods. These contain added sugar, salt, saturated fats, and artery-clogging oils. Please avoid artificial dyes and colors, as they are derived from petroleum. Who wants to eat the same thing that fuels our cars, anyway?
Rule #2: Eat as many whole foods as possible each day. This isn’t as hard as it sounds on the surface. For example, add an apple or a bowl of berries to your breakfast, a side salad with your lunch, and a sweet potato with dinner. For a snack, eat nuts and seeds (about one ounce), along with a banana or a couple of dates. All of these are whole foods that come from plants.
Rule #3: Add in naturally occurring prebiotics. If you enjoy kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, or unripened bananas, you’re in luck! All of these contain prebiotic compounds that help your good gut flora thrive. Wash it down with kombucha or sip on one throughout the day.
Slowly transitioning to better gut health will have long-lasting health benefits beyond improved digestion. Because of the gut-brain axis, a healthy gut equals a healthy brain. What you eat actually signals the brain and sends messages about how to function. Improving your gut health helps relieve depression, ease anxiety, lessen muscle and joint pain, and improve energy levels.
