Episode 2: Do We Really Need to Detox?

Thank you so much for your amazing feedback on our first-ever episode of the Today Is The Day Podcast! We are honoured that the information Meghan and Josh are sharing is resonating with you and we hope that our conversations will continue to inspire you. Our second episode, Do We Really Need to Detox?, is now available on your favourite podcast platforms.

With the range of nutrition protocols available nowadays, it can be confusing to know what to eat for optimal health. Detoxification and detox diets are particularly mind-boggling because they run the gamut from gentle detoxes to extreme cleanses with limited foods and are challenging to follow. Josh and I cut through the detox clutter to help you understand what it means to detox diet and how you can do it safely.

    Loved this detox podcast. You talked about a cilantro pesto recipe that sounded amazing. Where can I find this.
    Really great information in a motivating format. When you talk about specific ideas and recipes, it makes me want to go try them immediately!

  2. Academy of Culinary Nutrition

    Hi Kathlyn! Thanks for your kind words. You can try this recipe: https://www.meghantelpner.com/blog/renegade-parsley-pesto/. Meghan likes to make this one with cilantro instead, or half cilantro, half parsley works too. There’s also this recipe you can try: https://www.meghantelpner.com/blog/chimichurri-with-parsley-basil-cilantro-and-oregano/

    You didn’t mention beetroot!

  4. Lisa

    Such a great episode! You two are so cute together. :) I really like how you guys mentioned the amino acids, often protein gets overlooked in a detox protocol. You guys also mentioned the special offer from Abigail, sorry did I miss that link/offer somewhere?

  5. Academy of Culinary Nutrition
