EveryDay Detox Podcast

Right before the world changed I had an epic work trip to my New York studio Vitality NYC. Multiple live events, podcasts, meetings and clients from morning till night. I slept on the treatment table for weeks and showered at Planet Fitness across the street. Which doubled as a homeless shelter I later learned. During this visit I surprised Bobby with a Cryo toning treatment we were going to start...

In this episode I once again sit with Sam Shepherd the developer of Valasta Astaxanthin and answer your questions from Instagram.  We finally address the “elephant in the room” when it comes to Sam’s ideas on eating whole fresh fruit. Sam observers the correlation of increased fructose, particularly high fructose corn syrup, into American food products in the 1970’s with increased inflammation and...

In this episode I’m joined by my dear friend and colleague Jen Gonzalez as we make an attempt to be social humans rather than business owner/parents with working in one of the strangest professions in the world.  We discuss our connection to the infamous restaurant Pure Food and Wine and the Netflix documentary Bad Vegan that feature the story behind it.  I made an executive decision to edit out a...

In this episode I hang out with Culinary Health Coach and chef Alanna Sucher. We talk about the current state of the holistic health scene in NYC, wellness culture in social media and using the principles of food combining to simplify modern dining.  Alanna completely completely healed her gut issues using the practice of food combining and now operates a meal delivery service based on those princ...

Finally! In this episode drop back to the end of 2019 to the first ever live audience podcast. Dr. Fred Bisci gets fired up and answers questions from a live audience at the peak of Vitality NYC (now known as Alivio Wellness).  This episode is so close to my heart. It’s a moment in time where everything I had worked for came together at it’s brightest moment.  Oh, and the Black Friday extension co...

In this episode I share with you seven of the most valuable self care practices I use to keep my life straight.  1) Hanging: Several times a day I grip a bar and swing freely for 60+ seconds. The deep stretch and lengthening of my spine leaves me feeling taller and pain free. This practice alone has saved me significant time and money on body workers.  2) Raw vegetable juicing: This was the first...

We are quickly approaching sloppy season! This can be a very turbulent time for those of us struggling with consistency and self care. Leftover Halloween candy, holiday food, travel stress, meeting up with old friends over wine..  I’ve heard it a thousand times in my practice and we see the results on the table. There’s something else we hear a thousand times as well. “I’m just going to get throug...

Is the holistic health community naive and gullible?  Well… sometimes. I’ve certainly been guilty of it.  In this episode I chat with my Insta friend Meghan Swidler. Meghan is a holistic nutritionist with a foundation in the cleansing arts. We chat about The Carnivore MD, unnecessary parasite cleanses and other misconceptions in the holistic health community.  You can find Meghan here: https://meg...

No editing! No over thinking. I don't have time to be precious these days.. Someone on social media asked me if I ever cheat on my diet and the answer is NO. However, it's not because I'm an ultra disciplined, rigid purist. It's because I've been consistent for decades and successfully changed my pleasure seeking pathways and microbiome. There's also consequences to d...

In 2003 DARPA research scientist Sam Sheperd was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation were not even options. He tasked his team with finding out which animals do not get cancer and why. They found that there were five animals that all shared a common molecule in their chemistry. Pink flamingos, sharks, salmon, elephants and the naked mole rat. That molecule is astaxanthin, an...

(Don't ask how) FAIR WARNING: sense of humor required. Especially after...

I’m winning this game of catch up! And so happy to finally release this podcast with my favorite Instagrammer Timothy Pakron also known on social as Mississippi Vegan. Just to be clear, Mississippi Vegan is more of a concept than a name. He’s a cookbook author, blogger, and incredible food photographer. And that’s not me just fluffing up my guest! Holly and I literally watch his story EVERY day. I...

Finally catching up and rolling out new episodes all month! On this episode I introduce my wife Holly to the podcast. If you're here for the deep dive into cleansing culture then this episode is definitely not it.. But it is about how this lifestyle introduced me to the woman who is now my (spoiler alert) wife! Somewhere along the last five years the line between podcast and lifestyle blog be...

There's nothing linear about this one....

Here we are again! On this episode I'm joined by dear friend and relationship expert Rachel Dealto. Our conversation starts with dick pics, moves over to core wounds and ends on spirit guides.

Sh...
