We had the good fortune of connecting with Julia Loggins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Julia, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I spent most of my first 20 years hospitalized with “incurable“ autoimmune and inflammatory gut conditions. In fact, doctors told my parents I wouldn’t live to be 17..

Through natural protocols that connect the physical, mental and emotional components of wellness, my body completely healed. I have two beautiful, healthy children doctors told me I would never have. I have more energy, mental clarity and joy at 70 than I did at 20! If I can heal, anyone can.

It was a 10 year journey between the beginning of my own healing to the day I opened my private practice in detoxification and regenerative health. When I launched 50 years ago, the phrase “gut health” was unheard of…and now it is trendy!

It was never my intent to become a teacher! I told my first husband, that if I ever healed, I never wanted to see another sick person in my life. And then this man – a brilliant, eccentric survivor of Auschwitz said, “Then why do you think God gave you so many illnesses?”

As my body became whole, it was clear that my life mission was to be the guide I never had.

As a gut coach,:colon therapist and creator of a unique line of digestive health supplements, I have taught thousands of people over the last 42 years how to heal their bodies with their own two hands.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As the author of four books, my art centers around my writing. My first book was written with my former husband, Kenny Loggins, and it is called “ The Unimaginable Life. It was our love story, and the first completely transparent and vulnerable book by a celebrity. When we wrote this, celebrities were not speaking publicly about their private life.

I followed that with three books about digestive health, “Dare to Detoxify,“ “It Takes Guts To Be Happy!“ And “It Takes Guts To Be Beautiful.“ I write a blog in newsletter twice monthly to my audience and will be launching on sub stack soon! My focus has become teaching my audience how to heal from “incurable” inflammatory gut issues such as diverticulitis and colitis. Conventional methods offer little hope or support — yet healing is possible!

My next artistic goal is a book of poetry…

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
if you are going to visit Santa Barbara, as many of my clients do from all over the world, come here for a “detoxivacation”! I will see you in my clinic for a complete health/body, detox, cleanse, and makeover, and schedule you with the absolute best of Santa Barbara‘s natural practitioners: lymphatic, drainage, therapy, pelvic floor therapy, raw thing, yoga, heart and body centered movement… And of course, trips to the beach, the mountains And our fabulous farmers market!!”

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Definitely Christine Blosdale! Christine invited me to participate in her fund drive radio show for KPFK radio 10 years ago, and inspired me to create my unique brand of digestive health supplements. There is no one like Christine! She is one of the most inspirational humans on the planet, and her passion, vision and creativity is unmatched. She truly can support anyone committed to their vision from dreams to reality!
