On this episode of F*ck Wellness, Makena leads a spirited conversation on the infamous "detox." The group talks about the historical, cultural, and religious roots of detoxification, the research on detoxes, and how dangerous constantly seeking optimal performance can end up being.
Each week this month, Mal, Lara, and Ken will unpack a wellness topic. This week was Makena's topic and next week we will hear Lara's. Last week Mallory led a discussion on workplace wellness. We hope you enjoy this new format (because we LOVED it).
