On today’s show, Kimberly and Tony talk about the best way to get water into your body and do we truly need 8 glasses a day or is that a myth? In keeping with Kimberly’s mantra, “Always go back to nature,” they discuss key ways you can absorb the most water and how the amount of water we need varies from person to person. They hit talking points on how things like climate, level of activity, and also how diet plays a role in how much water you need.
Next, Kimberly interviews Kip Andersen, the amazing man behind the groundbreaking feature length, environmental documentary, Cowspiracy. Kimberly and Kip talk about many of the very important topics covered in the film which have such a big impact on our planet. They go into details on animal agriculture, grass fed beef, sustainable fishing, the destruction of the rainforest and more. They discuss how this amazing documentary reveals what we all need to be aware of, what's happening every single day and why people are not talking about it. Kip shares his expert knowledge on ways we can truly help the environment as well as educate ourselves and the people around us. There is hope for the planet, there is hope for everybody and we can work together to make the world a healthier and more beautiful place.

About Kip Andersen, Cowspiracy
Kip Andersen’s environmental awakening came as a result of An Inconvenient Truth. After seeing the film, he began to recycle religiously, turn off lights constantly, shower infrequently, and ride a bike instead of driving. Andersen believed he was doing everything he could to help the planet by following the guidelines of national and international environmental organizations, but his life took a different direction when he found out animal agriculture is the leading cause of environmental destruction.
He is the founder of AUM Films and Media, a 501c3 non-profit focused on creating films and media that promote thrivability, compassion, and harmony for all life. He is also an entrepreneur, as well as a certified Jivamukti and Kundalini yoga teacher. He is a graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo school of business and has called San Francisco home for more than a decade.

Detoxy+
http://shop.kimberlysnyder.com/products/detoxy
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.

To use this on the go just add about ten drops of peppermint oil to an ounce of water in a little mixture bottle and you shake it up each time before you spray it but then you spray it around. You want to breathe it in before meal times or before you go to a party and if you are hitting an event or a gathering that is a holiday thing, that mint has a holiday aroma association as well so you can contribute a little fresh aroma space you're in.
Grapefruit and peppermint is my favorite combo to get ahead of food cravings!
Citrus oils tend to make us feel happy, so they tend to boost the mood but bergamot, particularly, had some research behind it with its effect on feeling calm without feeling sleepy and it promotes that overall sense of calm."
