Description

We live in a toxic world. Processed food, industrial chemicals, polluted air and water, stress, blue light, pharmaceuticals…the list goes on. Our bodies were never designed to handle this constant chemical assault.


And yet, when we hear the word detox, most men dismiss it as a “feminine” wellness trend; juice cleanses, lemon water, and supplements that sound more like lifestyle accessories than survival tools.In this episode of The Optimist, I sit down with Meghan Swidler, holistic health and detox coach, to break down:



- Why detox has been branded as feminine, and why that’s dangerous.


- How toxins are silently clogging your system and destroying performance.


- Why *real detox* isn’t about deprivation, but liberation.


- Practical, science-backed steps you can take right now to reclaim your energy, focus, and vitality.


If you’re a high-performing man who’s been ignoring detox, this conversation may hit you harder than you expect. Because the truth is: you can’t out-train, out-supplement, or out-hustle a toxic body.
