In this episode of Homes That Heal, Jen sits down with Jerry Ta, founder of Initiate Vitality, to dig into how detox, gut health, and sauna therapy can help your body heal naturally, without the overwhelm or perfectionism.

Jerry shares his own story of hitting a health wall — chronic reflux, fatigue, and frustration — and how a mindset shift and simple detox habits helped him reboot from the inside out. From colon hydrotherapy and juice cleanses to realistic midlife fatigue support and the power of the infrared sauna, this conversation will have you rethinking what true vitality looks like.

[03:20] – How a Tony Robbins event in Fiji sparked Jerry’s healing journey

[22:55] – Why digestive issues and bloating aren’t “just ageing”

Your healing journey doesn’t have to be dramatic — just start with one small gut health shift at a time.

About Megan:

Megan Zechel’s journey into holistic wellness began with her own health challenges—Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism and Rheumatoid Arthritis—which led her to explore both Western medicine and holistic healing. Along the way, she discovered that true wellness isn’t just physical; it’s emotional, energetic, and spiritual. Her personal exploration deepened as she studied the body’s individuality, learned to navigate energetic imprints, and embraced spiritual growth through self-discovery and surrender.

Today, Megan creates spaces that nurture connection, love, and expansion. Through sound baths, music circles, retreats, and community gatherings, she helps others feel supported and seen as they move through their own evolution. Her mission is simple: to guide people back to themselves—to remember who they are at their core and to find healing through presence, community, and love.
