Over simplifies complex topics
I actually love Jen and the idea of this podcast, but the conclusions cast too broad a net over complex topics. If we are to say, "You don't need to detox, your body does that for itself", then should it not also follow that we can, and do poison our bodies by way of drugs, alcohol, and processed foods and that we ought to consume "clean" and wholesome things to keep that system functioning? Same concept goes for how much sleep and water we require. The questions of bodily damages, disease, and how to avoid them are complex. The evidence that suggests *not* to just get your water from bread and coffee seems to exist, as well as avoiding health crises by *not* poisoning (toxifying) our bodies so as to avoid the perceived need to "detox" don't get any attention here. I felt the topic of yeast, though thankfully normalized by Jen, was way over simplified as well. It's sort of like when scientists insist that we should stop worrying about consuming chemicals because...."Everything is a chemical!!! So stop worrying about it!" We GET that! We want the details and nuance these topics deserve. We are an intelligent audience, and I am left with far more questions than answers at every turn. Still- please keep making!Read full review »

The podcast itself has potential. The premise of the show is providing sound medical insight into pop culture “medicine” (juice fasts, detoxing, etc), so I was shocked when the very first words out of the host’s mouth were to advertise a dubious “health tracking ring”. These rings are a prime...Read full review »
