Dr. Alejandro Junger arrived in the US from his native country of Uruguay for his post graduate work in cardiology only to find his body and mind falling prey to numerous ailments. After he was prescribed a cocktail of seven medications, he took his healing into his own hands which led him to the study of integrative medicine.
He has become a foremost expert in the field and was asked to design and run Lenox Hill Hospital’s integrative medicine department. His first book, Clean has just hit the New York Times bestseller list and his restorative health solution has become a favorite of celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow. He has paved his own path in a traditional field and used it to help countless others and that is why I’m Obsessed with Alejandro Junger.

Big ups doc! You are leading a health revolution. I could hear your story over and over.
Keep up the great work.

Well, I sure am intrigued right now. Great interview. I suffer from allergies and migraines that are just awful. I’m going to be sure to pick up his book.

Americans are dropping like flies from our disgusting diet!
It is sad that the FDA, who are supposed to be protecting us, are actually approving some of the most TOXIC so-called foods ever! Just look at soy. Soy is a major cause of many ailments, yet you can find it in almost every processed food we eat. I think there is a natural remedy for almost everything. It all starts with a good diet of whole, natural foods. If it’s made by God, it’s good. If it’s made by man, well, you get the picture.

Dr. Junger is AWESOME. I went to him earlier in the year when I was really sick and he opened my eyes to a whole new way of healing. Every doctor should take notes from his methodology!!

Interesting guest - and my first time in, discovering “Obsessed TV” - cool!
Dr. Junger hints at the inconvenient “truth” that the human person is an integrated thing - we can’t separate out the physical/mental/emotional/soul. We’re all connected. Look forward to keeping up with the doc …
Samantha, your question about the young daughter and the “ideal way to grow up” was just perfect. Just what I wanted to ask him!
Looking forward to future episodes.

I have tried the program and it not only teached me a lot about my own body but about my complete life as well
It can really change your life if you are ready for it

Sam, this is by far the best 27 and a half minutes I have spent in months! This Doc is a Guru. Great job again!

Great interview! As always Dr.Junger’s insights into “the path” towards a healthier/happier existence were inspiring. I tried the program for the first time 3 years ago and have never looked back since, I achieved an incredible sense of well being the likes of which I’d never experienced before. As Dr.Junger said, create the right nutritive environment for your body to flourish and believe me it does, with that achieved the mind follows on by itself.
Look forward to further episodes.
Keep up the fantastic work Dr.Junger with your “Clean Revolution”..

Dr. Junger has gone through much of the same experience I did. The only difference is I am not a doctor. I had ulcerative colitis, asthma, unexplained high liver enzymes (I think from the Colitis medication) and general inflammation (measured by ANA antibodies) which left me exhausted - and with a lupus diagnosis that was later reversed. Doctors gave me medicine that made matters worse. I had to figure out how to fix myself. I am now off all medication, ulcerative colitis is gone (although doctors thought that impossible), asthma under control without drugs and inflammation way down. Based on everything I learned in the process, I decided to try the Clean program to get rid of my last hurdle - allergies (to wheat, dairy, eggs, honey, corn and God knows what else). First time round helped a lot. I am doing it for a second time and am confident all allergies will be gone soon. Thank you Dr. Junger for making this available to so many people. You are the best (I usually only say that to my husband). Thank you too Samantha for your video.
