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 www.trustyourgut.shop Social Media Links/Handles- https://www.instagram.com/trustyourgutshop/ https://www.instagram.com/scottsdalehydrotherapy/ https://www.instagram.com/marinathepoopfairy/

In this episode of What Are You Made Of? , Mike “C-Roc” sits down with James Benefico for a deep, wide-ranging conversation that bridges physical health, entrepreneurship, and spiritual growth. James shares his perspective on being “made of” consciousness and how caring for the body as a vessel allows clarity, purpose, and faith to shine through. From his personal decision to stop drinking and the impact that had on momentum and mental clarity, to his belief that health directly affects our ability to serve others, James unpacks the powerful connection between body, spirit, and character. He opens up about his journey from college football and significant weight gain to reclaiming his health after his mother’s cancer diagnosis exposed him to serious flaws in the medical and nutrition system. That path ultimately led to the founding of Organic Muscle, the first organic-certified pre-workout, created after a near medical emergency with conventional supplements. James also shares hard-earned lessons from building a company for over a decade, raising capital through relationships, navigating uncertainty through faith, and how entrepreneurship forges resilience and belief in something greater than yourself. The conversation closes with a moving testimony about loss, anxiety, early Christianity, and how profound personal tragedy became the catalyst for a deeper, embodied faith. This episode is a powerful reminder that true strength comes from alignment—between health, purpose, and belief.
