Detox Episodes

In this episode of Wellness Talk, George Batista and John Soto tackle two topics that, at first glance, seem unrelated—but together raise important questions about the choices we make and the lives we lead.

George begins by breaking down the recent Supreme Court decision involving Monsanto and Roundup. He explores what the ruling means, why the case has generated so much public attention, and what consumers should consider when evaluating scientific evidence, health risks, corporate responsibil...

Today George is joined by John Soto for a fascinating deep dive into two very different—but equally compelling—areas of research. First, they explore the discovery and characterization of antitumor gut microbiota found in amphibians and reptiles, unpacking what these unique microbial communities could mean for the future of cancer research and treatment.

Then, the conversation shifts to human health, examining new evidence suggesting that your vitamin D levels in midlife may play a critical rol...

They called it fiction. They called us crazy. But the truth has a way of coming to light—and it’s time to face it. Join us for part two of our eye-opening dive into conspiracies that were once denied but are now undeniable.

We’re peeling back the layers on secrets long buried, exposing those who profit from deceit, and exploring what it truly means to wake up in a world built on lies.

What if a tiny check could make a life-changing difference? In this episode, we dive into why a simple thyroid screening during pregnancy might play a powerful role in lowering autism risk—and why this often-overlooked gland deserves way more attention than it gets.
From there, we break down the key nutrients your thyroid actually needs to thrive, cutting through the supplement noise to focus on what really matters for energy, metabolism, mood, and brain health.
And to wrap things up, we tackle ...

Shares of high fructose corn syrup producer Archer-Daniels-Midlan fell on Thursday after President Donald Trump announced that he had persuaded Coca-Cola to use real cane sugar in its drinks in the U.S. “I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post published Wednesday. “This will be a very good move by them — You’ll se...

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) released its 2025 Dirty Dozen list, a “Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce,” and it serves as a solid reminder that we still have a lot of work to do when it comes to cleaning up the food system. This year, the report found that more than 75 percent of non-organic samples tested positive for at least one pesticide.

And get this: Topping the list on the basis of the level and toxicity of detected pesticides were green beans, spinach, bell peppers and ho...

Did you know that chemicals in the food and water supply, personal products, and home or work environments affect your ability to maintain a healthy weight?

In 2006, the concept of “obesogens” was introduced. They are environmental endocrine-di...

Whether applied to your lawn, public spaces, orchards, or farmland, pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides are nearly impossible to avoid. These chemicals are used worldwide and are found in the food you eat, water you drink, and air you breathe. While manufacturers claim they are safe for human exposure when used as directed, your body still must detoxify and repair from their impact.
Overall pesticide use in 2022 reached 4.2 million metric tons, which is an 80 percent increase from 1990. Chi...

You trust lab results to tell you if you're healthy—but what if they don’t tell the full story? You may feel like you're aging faster, struggling with brain fog, or noticing a dip in energy, yet your vitamin B12 levels appear “normal.” A groundbreaking February 2025 study suggests that current health guidelines for B12 are outdated and insufficient.

This week George discusses how researchers found that even within the so-called "normal range," lower B12 levels were linked to slower thinking, ne...

Most clinicians are familiar with the concept that when a little is good, more is often better, but a lot is still reliably toxic. This results in the mindset of there being little chance of doing harm with supplementing a "little," especially when the supplements involved are well-known and relatively popular supplements, widely regarded as being beneficial without question. In the case of calcium, iron, and copper the downside of minimal supplementation could not be more clear-cut. All three o...
