In this episode, Tony and I are going to talk about an interesting topic that has become a health trend, and that is- activated charcoal. Ever heard of activated charcoal? It’s marketed as the ultimate panacea and detoxifier, praised for its ability to absorb toxins of all kids and help our digestive system rebalance. But the truth is, the research around activated charcoal is much more mixed—with little conclusive evidence that charcoal does everything it’s touted to do. Listen in, as we crack open the truths behind this new craze.

Next, we have my very special friend and guest Deepak Chopra, who is an American author, public speaker, alternative medicine advocate, and a prominent figure in the New Age movement. Through his books and videos, he has become one of the best-known and wealthiest figures in alternative medicine and named by Time Magazine as one of the most iconic thinkers of the century. Listen in as we discuss one of the pillars from Radical Beauty, that is critical for long-term health.

Detoxy+ is a nutritional supplement that helps cleanse your digestive and elimination organs of wastes and toxins in a gentle, yet effective way—without any of the drawbacks of typical laxatives or fiber supplements.

Detoxy+ is created by adding an oxygen molecule to magnesium—through the non-toxic process called ozonation—forming a compound called magnesium oxide. When you take the capsule, it dissolves and releases monatomic, or nascent, oxygen over a six to twelve hour period or more, throughout the entire digestive system.

The magnesium acts as a transporter of the oxygen throughout the entire body and has the gentle effect of loosening toxins and acidic waste in your colon, helping transport them out of the body via elimination. Oxygen, delivered in this way, supports the growth of friendly bacteria, which is essential for proper digestive and intestinal health.

Detoxy+ is safe for regular use and is non habit-forming. It can be helpful for anyone looking to increase their elimination and regularity, increase detoxification, reduce bloating or gas, and just feel lighter and healthier overall.
