In this episode, Tony and I discuss a topic that can make or break your efforts to be healthy for the whole day -- the importance of a morning routine. Listen for ways to implement changes that are most important in improving your overall health, beauty, and energy. We will also share how long-term changes are most beneficial and how you can make these changes.
Next, we have my very special guest Kristin Meekhof, who is an advocate, author and social worker. Kristin shares her background, from being left on the street in South Korea as an infant, adopted a few years later and brought to the US, to the loss of her father and husband and how this lead her to the study of psychology and social work. Kristin also shares about writing her book A Widow's Guide To Healing. Listen in as Kristin shares how she embarked from a life of despair to a fulfilled life in assisting others and spreading hope.

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.
