EveryDay Detox Podcast

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 disease. Concluding that the fructos...

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 section of this episode that I felt ...

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 principles. You can find her at combinedb...

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.

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 act of self care I took almost 30 yea...

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 through the holidays and do a New Year’s ...

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.

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 dumping toxic food back int...

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 extremely powerful antioxi...

In this episode I head back to NYC and take a trip to my home borough of Staten Island to visit Dr. Fred Bisci. It was twenty six years ago that he started as my nutritionist, then became my mentor and has become one of my oldest friends and colleagues. We sat in that same office where so many years ago I learned about the beginning stages of the cleansing life and plant based nutrition. I'm not even sure this podcast, Vitalit...

It was middle of the day and a peak time for Vitality NYC so we tucked away into a colonic room and chatted on the cleansing life for over an hour. We covered spirituality, obsessive-compulsive behavior, lot’s of colonic talk and we ended with an epic Q&A session from your questions on Instagram. 

Nicole is the mastermind b...

After 18 years as a successful trader for one of the world’s biggest hedge funds, Peter left the endlessly stressful and indulgent Wall Street life to start a new livelihood as a health and life coach. Interestingly enough, it was actually Peter's father who introduced me to Dr. Fred Bisci in 1995. We talk about how the cleansing...
