We don’t always realize, but so much of the communication we’ve been taught, receive and give on a daily basis contains subtle elements of violence. This includes blame, judgment and criticism or labeling. But through nonviolent communication, we can learn to state our feelings and needs, and make requests that get answered. Listen in as Tony and I discuss how this is especially beneficial if you’re criticized for how you eat and don’t know how to respond!
Next, we have my very special guest Elizabeth Lesser who is a bestselling author and the cofounder of Omega Institute. Elizabeth focuses on health, wellness, spirituality and creativity. Listen in as Elizabeth shares her personal involvement with Spiritual Activism, where it’s lead her, and how we can incorporate it into our daily lives.

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.
