#218 - The importance of detoxification with Dr Alex Orton

Our podcast guests always have the best way of clarifying common myths and misconceptions! And @dr.alexorton is no exception. We chatted about what detoxification actually means (Hint: It’s not drinking juice all day or doing crazy sh*t like taking herbal laxatives). Surprisingly (or potentially unsurprisingly), giving your body enough energy is essential for detoxification! Dr Alex Orton and I discuss all of this and more in our latest episode.
