Do detox waters, “cleanse” diets, and alkaline hacks actually work—or are we just paying for health marketing?

In this episode of MHBBytes, we sit down with Dr. Anshuman Kaushal aka “theangry_doc‬—award-winning robotic and bariatric surgeon with 24+ years of experience—to bust popular food and health myths flooding social media.

We break down what real detox actually means (your liver and kidneys already do it), clear up confusion around inflammation, gut health, fatty liver, acidity, and weight loss, and separate science from hype around trends like alkaline water, intermittent fasting, and GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic.

If you want practical, evidence-based answers to everyday health questions—this episode is for you.
