Cleansing and Detoxifying

There is NO Fountain of Youth! Americans are always looking for ways to make themselves feel more energetic and look younger. We are sleep-deprived, caffeine-dependent, and our diet of refined sugars, preservatives and other unhealthy elements wear on our health, appearance and energy. When will we finally learn that good health is achieved with a lifestyle commitment of good practices?

Hailing from the pristine and relatively undiscovered rainforests of Malaysia, a country teeming with beauty and a warm, exotic culture, are little-known secrets to youthful living and healthy aging. Dr. Joerg Gruenwald joins the show to let us know some of the secrets.

Holding a Doctorate in Botany, Dr. Gruenwald was the Scientific Director and Head of Medical Research of a prominent phyto-pharmaceutical company in Berlin, Germany, and was also responsible for over a 150 clinical and pharmacological studies on phytopharmaceuticals and dietary supplements in Europe, the United States, Australia and Asia. He is the author of 15 books including the “Physician Desk Reference for Herbal Medicine,” an international reference work for botanical medicine. He also edited the “Complete German Commission E Monographs” and “Advances in Natural Therapy” and served as advisor to the office of Dietary Supplements of the American National Institute of Health as member of the United States Pharmacopeia and as the Executive Director of IKEC International Kava Executive Council (NGO).
