Men sometimes seem leery of going vegan for fear of not being able to build muscle. But that's a myth, because there've been many men who perform at a high level and build an abundance of muscle entirely on plant foods. In this segment, Tony and I review some examples, top foods, sample diet plans and much more for men looking to build muscle as vegans. Next, I have my very special guest Tero Isokauppila who is the founder of Four Sigmatic. His mission is to make medicinal mushrooms, some of the world's most researched superfoods, more accessible to everyone. Tero has a strong personal interest in health and wellness, which includes activities like making raw chocolate and practicing yin yoga.

Detoxy+ is created by adding an oxygen molecule to magnesium-through the non-toxic process called ozonation-forming a compound called magnesium oxide. When you take the capsule, it dissolves and releases monatomic, or nascent, oxygen over a six to twelve hour period or more, throughout the entire digestive system. The magnesium acts as a transporter of the oxygen throughout the entire body and has the gentle effect of loosening toxins and acidic waste in your colon, helping transport them out of the body via elimination. Oxygen, delivered in this way, supports the growth of friendly bacteria, which is essential for proper digestive and intestinal health. Detoxy+ is safe for regular use and is non habit-forming. It can be helpful for anyone looking to increase their elimination and regularity, increase detoxification, reduce bloating or gas, and just feel lighter and healthier overall.
