Perhaps, the most important interview of all, as far as your health is concerned, is the in-depth and very educational interview, and medical story with the below Doctor, who is a Cardiologist, who gave us some great advice that could change your life:
Dr. Junger, M.D.
Clean Program Founder
Dr. Alejandro Junger, M.D. is a Cardiologist, Functional Medicine Doctor, and New York Times best-selling author. After graduating from Medical School in Uruguay, he moved to New York City to begin postgraduate training in Internal Medicine at New York University Downtown Hospital, and his fellowship in cardiology at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
Dr. Junger’s significant shift in diet and lifestyle soon manifested as symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, allergies, and depression. Becoming a patient within the healthcare system incentivised to treat symptoms vs root cause emerged as a startling experience that catalyzed his quest for an alternative solution. Following his postgraduate training, Dr. Junger studied Eastern medicine in India and completed additional training in Functional Medicine. By fusing the wisdom of Eastern and Western medicine with functional medicine, he created The Clean Program that has impacted hundreds of thousands of lives!
His findings helped him regain his health and formed the basis of his best-selling books “Clean,” “Clean Gut,” and “Clean Eats,” guiding readers on how to heal their guts, reset their own detoxification systems, and restore and maintain optimal vitality. Recognized as “The Father of Detox,” Dr. Junger has been featured on major national shows including Martha Stewart, PBS News, and ABC News, and his programs are embraced globally by dignitaries, A-list celebrities, and wellness practitioners. His mission is to share what he has learned with as many people as possible, to help them maintain maximum vitality, energy, and joy.
Clean 21: Full Body Reset:
“There’s a reason our program has been one of the most popular health resets for more than a decade. It’s because it works. It’s not a quick fix diet or juice cleanse. Clean 21 is an M.D.-developed, 21-day detoxification and health transformation program based in functional medicine that delivers.”
Clean 21 will restore the body’s natural immune, digestive, detox, and nervous system functions starting at their core—your gut. You’ll create a foundation for deep detoxification and cellular rejuvenation. Feel lighter, brighter, and more grounded in your every day life. This is the way to elevate your health and wellness to its highest level and achieve lasting, life-changing results.
Over 21 days, you’ll be guided through a powerful protocol to repair gut health and restore your body to optimal function. Follow simple guidelines on what to eat and avoid. Nourish yourself with delicious smoothies, whole food meals, mineral rich hydration-powders, and Clean 21’s supplemental nutrition. Each day, you’ll support detoxification, boost metabolic function, and promote cellular renewal.
In just 21 days, you’ll reshape cravings and effortlessly integrate new habits into your daily routine. Enjoy better sleep, more energy, mental clarity, and a positive mind shift. Each time you complete Clean 21, you’ll experience renewed vitality and spirit. This is the program to elevate your health and wellness to its highest potential, creating lasting, life-changing results.
Week 1: Your body will be adjusting to eliminating dietary triggers and sensitivities. You may feel tired and sluggish as your body detoxes. Be kind to yourself and reflect on the process.
Week 2: After working through the initial detox, you may start to have more energy and begin sleeping more soundly. You will start to shed toxic bloat and feel more refreshed and focused.
Week 3: The radiance you started to feel in week one is in full force now. Your well nourished body feels lighter and brighter. The clouds have lifted and you feel clear headed and grounded. New habits have become routine. You’ve realized a newfound awareness of your mind and body and strengthened your intuition.
The Clean 21 diet is about elimination, not deprivation. Each day, you will have a smoothie with supplements for breakfast and dinner, and a whole food meal for lunch. Temporarily bid farewell to top inflammatory culprits like dairy, refined sugars, alcohol, gluten, and coffee. Embrace an endless variety of colorful, nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, healthy grains, and proteins following Clean guidelines. Customize your smoothies and meals to your preference. Enjoy transformation as you adopt new eating habits and reshape your cravings.

We had a long, in-depth, and educational interview with Niyah Diamond of the Madinina Project, which had a wide range of great products, that will be opening soon in Burbank, California. They have great skincare products like Kadalys, which is an amazing brand from Martinique! It is vegan, cruelty free, and it is a great and natural alternative to Retinol.
Also from Martinique they have Rhum J.M VSOP, as you can see in the above photo. It’s warm and comforting, this very aged Agricole Rhum offers a full-bodied palette of smoked, grilled and caramelized aromas. This Rum was established in 1790, and has been aged 6 years in Oak Barrels in their cellars in Macoda, Martinique! This is a Rhum that can completely satisfy a brandy drinker. The barrels used to age are re-charred Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels lending a deep amber color and lovely chocolate, maple and spiced wood notes. They are a real Wine Enthusiast, that is made in Martinique, France!
Located in the small northern village of Macouba, Martinique, at the base of iconic volcano Mt. Pelée, Rhum J.M produces the finest AOC Rhum Agricole from estate-grown sugarcane. Credited to be the first recorded distillery to produce Rhum Agricole, there is no fresher sugarcane crush in the world, taking less than an hour for sugarcane to go from field to fermentation tank. In the late 17th century, the famous Père Labat, a Jesuit credited with proliferating sugar cultivation in the French West Indies, was the parish priest of Macouba while he operated a sugar refinery at his house along the Roche River: 
The Madinina Project also had delicious mouth watering chocolates, from the refined world of Lauzéa Brothers chocolate. It’s also in Martinique, in the heart of their workshop that exceptional chocolate comes to life every day, blending tradition, high standards, and the Creole spirit. As true artisans of taste, they select the finest beans and the finest ingredients to create unique sensory experiences. They have excellent know-how in every chocolate they create, there is a gesture, an intention, an emotion.
At the Lauzéa Brothers, authenticity, elegance and pleasure guide each of their blends. Ganaches, tablets, confectionery or fruity sweets: everything begins in their workshop, where ideas take shape, shaped by hand with patience and precision. If you like to order these unique and delectable chocolates go to: FreresLauzea.fr for French or .com for English. Or call: 05.96.50.50.18.
The Madinina Project also has some unique and beautiful handbags, and purses! In fact the award winning Actress: Sharon Stone was gifted the Cross-body Bad, and she loved it! & By an amazing coincidence our Entertainment Today TV Show Host: Margie Rey was also gifted this very same bag, and she loved it as much as Sharon Stone did!
After our interview with Niyah Diamond, both of our reporters where given a standing ovation from the crowd that was watching the interview!
In the below photo you see our Entertainment Today/Time Warner TV Show Host: Margie Rey(Left) and our Entertainment Today/ Time Warner TV Fashion & Style Entertainment Reporter: Belinda Ulbrich (Right) posing for a photo with Niyah in the middle, as Belinda is holding up her purse, and Margie is holding up her Cross-body bag, as Niyah holds up her skincare products: 
Right in the front, and just outside of this gift lounge they had another company with some more Rum: the Cle’ment VSOP Rhum, (see the bottle (L), and their collection below) which is also from Martinique, where our Entertainment Today TV Show Host: Margie Rey did an interesting interview with their Reps: Jen & Jessie.
Rhum Cle’ment – Spiribam is a fine spirits company represents, markets, and distributes fine Caribbean rums from Martinique and Saint Lucia, as well as Joseph Cartron from Burgundy, France, and cognac from France. Their mission is to elevate quality spirits brands from the Caribbean and beyond. Spiribam brings together the “spirits” activities of GBH (Bernard Hayot Group). This entity coordinates the production and marketing of the Group’s various brands of spirits in more than 70 countries. It ensures the influence of exceptional rum brands such as Rhum Clément and Rhum JM produced in Martinique, Bounty, Chairman’s Reserve and Admiral Rodney produced on the Anglo-Saxon island of Saint Lucia as well as Arcane and Beach House from Mauritius.
Their activity has recently extended to the world of liqueurs with the integration of the Joseph Cartron brand produced in Burgundy. With a portfolio of globally recognized brands and a passionate team of professionals, Spiribam has established itself in recent years as a key player in the world of high-end spirits. So if you have that taste in your mouth, and want to buy any of their Rhum’s right now, just go to: spiribam.com/products. The iconic rhum of Martinique, Rhum Clément was founded in 1887 by Homere Clément:
There was yet another high-end liquor company, that was also right in front and just outside of this amazing gift lounge: Coit Spirits, that is the California Distillery of the Year, and has won many awards from Spirits Competitions from all over the world, including Berlin, New York, and won the gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition three years running!
We did an interview with the Owner and Distiller: Jerry Rowland, who was so kind as to give us one of these bottles as in the above photo.
This is an Earl Gray Gin that was smooth, and went down well, and is different from London Dry Gin – the juniper is second in character to the tea. After 12 months and 10 botanicals, aroma, flavor, balance, and stability are perfect. It is a daring twist on the classic gin, infused with the aromatic elegance of Earl Grey tea. Crafted with 12 botanicals, including black & brown leaf Formosa Oolong, Orange Pekoe, and a hint of cinnamon, this gin is a single distillation masterpiece. At 47% ABV, it boasts a deep tea flavor with citrusy bergamot and a whisper of cookie dough.
What I tasted is a muted aroma of brown sugar and milk chocolate. The elegant yet assertive palate entry is firm, peppery, moderately sweet, and cane-like; at mid-palate the texture turns silky, semisweet and cocoa-like to the taste, and eminently elegant and sophisticated in style!
Jerry also was giving out drink recipes to the guests, and the one he gave us was a classy “London Fog.” If you like to order your own bottles of these fine Rums go to CoitSpirits.com, or you can visit their headquarters in Yountville, California.
In the below photo you can see our Entertainment Today TV Show Host: Margie Rey (extreme left), and our Entertainment Today TV Fashion & Style Entertainment Reporter: Belinda Ulbrich (2nd from left), having a great time as they posed with the reps, and owner Gerry Rowland: (on the extreme right), for this fine Rum. 
It was perfect that our Reporter Belinda Ulbrich was able to speak fluently in French, as the Rep: Katie for Gem & I Crystals, was from France- so it great that Belinda could translate from French into English, to tell us all about this great Gem company: Gem & I Crystals. This wonderful company is made by 2 Geminis, 2 friends, and 2 crystal lovers from France and the U.S., brought together by a shared love of beauty, energy, and design. & on top of that Belinda and our TV Show Host Margie Rey were also Geminis, so that they interviewed the Rep: Katie who was also a Gemini, this making a total of 3 Geminis!
Deborah Brock and Katie Mitchell bring years of experience to the art of crystal decor. They specialize in sourcing one-of-a-kind treasures that speak the language of the Earth. And their true joy comes from sharing how organic accents and sculptural elements uplift and harmonize our spaces.

In the below photo is the Founder: Jenna Ross and her daughter: 
& speaking of delicious cookies, Margie and Belinda interviewed Eme – the Owner and Founder of Eme’s Baked Goods. Eme told Margie & Belinda: Growing up with severe food allergies and intolerance’s wasn’t easy and as a mom, seeing my kids face the same struggles has deepened my understanding of how isolating it can feel. I’ve experienced the heartbreak of being surrounded by love at parties and gatherings, only to realize there wasn’t a single dish that was safe for me to eat. It wasn’t just about the food it was about inclusion. I wanted to feel like I truly belonged, to be part of the celebration, not sitting on the sidelines with a plate of “just in case” snacks. This personal journey inspired me to create Eme’s Baked Goods, a place where everyone no matter their dietary restrictions feels, seen, included, and cared for.
My mission is to redefine indulgence with desserts that are not only luxurious but also safe for people with food sensitivities. Each dessert I create is handcrafted with care, using gluten free flours, natural sweeteners like honey, coconut sugar and monk fruit, and sustainable ingredients. Whether you’re gluten intolerant or simply seeking healthier options, my baked goods are designed to be enjoyed by all without compromise. I love what I do because I know what it feels like to be excluded, and now I have the privilege of ensuring others never feel that way. At Eme’s Baked Goods, I just don’t bake desserts I create a sense of belonging one indulgent bite at a time. So if you want to bite into their amazing cookies go to: emesbakedgoods.biz : 
Belinda and Margie had an in-depth, and fascinating interview with Book Author: Maureen Anne Meehan, who is a remarkable and multi-talented individual whose life journey is as captivating as the stories she weaves. With a solid foundation in education, Maureen initially embarked on a career in law, ultimately rising to the esteemed position of judge. However, her life took a dramatic turn following a tragic event that ignited her passion for storytelling, leading her to create an enthralling world of legal thrillers.
Hailing from the charming town of Sheridan, Wyoming, Maureen draws inspiration from the breathtaking landscapes and rich culture of her home state, which serves as the backdrop for her nine compelling novels. Now residing in sunny Southern California, she shares her home with her beloved rescue kittens and enjoys the occasional visits from her four adult children, who bring warmth and joy to her life.
Maureen’s literary works have garnered significant recognition, including a feature in the prestigious New York Times Magazine, a testament to her skillful storytelling and unique voice. Her gripping narratives have captivated readers, particularly through her popular Mary MacIntosh series, which includes titles such as “Dying to Ski,” “Snake River Secret,” “Powder River Poison,” “Pandemic Predatory,” “Poisoned by Proxy,” “The Five,” “Rodeo,” “Deputy Dawg,” “Pumpkin Buttes,” and “Prison Break.” Each novel is a thrilling ride filled with suspense, intrigue, and unforgettable characters.
In addition to her successful legal thrillers, Maureen has also ventured into non-fiction, showcasing her versatility as a writer. Her latest works, “60 Dates in Six Months (With a Broken Neck),” “Push You Away,” and “Let Me Be,” reflect her keen insight into human experiences and relationships, adding another layer to her impressive literary repertoire.
Maureen Anne Meehan is not just an author; she is a storyteller whose life experiences and passions intertwine to create narratives that resonate with readers. Her journey from law to literature is a testament to the power of resilience and creativity, inspiring others to pursue their own passions and dreams.
She was so kind as to give us a copy of her book: “60 Dates in Six Months (With a Broken Neck),” that I read & loved it for a easy, and quick good read that was a very interesting story about dating and new relationships! She told us that this book was made into a movie, that was played by the beautiful actress that is 2nd from the right, next to Margie(on the extreme right) in the below photo, with Belinda on the extreme left, with Maureen 2nd from the left, next to her poster for this movie.
