Listen in as Dr. Michele discusses her experience with seasonal detoxes. Find out what a seasonal detox is, what she did to lose 30 pounds in just over a year at the age of 48, why she does it as the seasons change, and what her results were.  Dr. Michele explains that an all-natural detox is the way to go, with no expensive supplements or pre-made foods to buy. All of the food is organic, natural (not processed), and homemade. Whole foods are talked about a lot today and for good reason. Dr. Michele only eats whole foods for a variety of reasons, and especially during the detoxes.

In this exclusive interview, Adam Hommey, a Vegan and a practitioner of Ayurveda, shows us what may actually be happening – and how to handle it in a way that gains respect. —————————————————————- 1) First of all, can you tell me more about your own experiences becoming Vegan and adopting Ayurveda into your daily life? 2) You mentioned how Vegans get asked the “20 questions”, attacked publicly just for what they DON’T eat, and soc
