Living Clean with Dr. Alejandro Junger

CLEAN…it can mean an absence of toxins, but it can also be about removing the toxins already in our bodies. In this week’s episode of Be HEALTHistic, Drs. Stephen and Drew Sinatra welcome cardiologist and New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Alejandro Junger, to talk about his remarkable background in medicine, the lifestyle transformation that his CLEAN program can provide, and the importance of detoxification to truly heal the body. First, Dr. Junger talks about his journey in medicine — how he went from a stressful residency New York City to practicing in an ashram in India, where he came to understand the value of integrative medicine and working with a team of diverse practitioners. He explains his discontent at practicing conventional medicine, prescribing a “pill for an ill” — and how he went searching for better solutions to treat and heal patients. Then, Dr. Junger describes the healthcare realities of practicing “defensive medicine,” and how he found a more fulfilling way to work with patients through his wildly successful CLEAN program. Next, the doctors focus on our body’s system of detoxification, and how mainstream medicine doesn’t address how vital this process is to getting and staying healthy — especially with all the toxins we’re exposed to daily. Dr. Junger explains how ancient systems of medicine are based on the principle concept that health and disease start with the accumulation — or not — of toxicity, and how departing from the ways of nature is making us sick. Finally, Dr. Junger shares his “pearls” of wisdom on the main things you can do to live CLEAN. Don’t miss this opportunity to Be HEALTHistic!
