#17 - LiveStream: Spirulina, Parasites & The Green Goblin: Our Twice-a-Year Reset

Matt and Brooke broadcast their first-ever offline live stream from a private cove on the Yuba River, fresh off Brooke's birthday camping weekend in the Sierra Buttes. After four days with no phone service, no social media, and no email, they unpack what a real reset looks like — not just unplugging from technology, but a full-body detox. They go deep on their twice-a-year parasite cleanse, why drainage matters more than the cleanse itself, and the greens and superfoods fuelling it all. Plus: why they hike mountains on one meal a day, the truth about sunscreen and seed oils, and a camp host named Kim who put the whole "why bother" question into perspective.If you've ever felt the resistance of going back to "real life" after time in nature, this one's for you.In this episode:The benefits of unplugging: a technology detox in natureHiking the Sierra Buttes: a challenging trek with epic views and health benefitsDeep dive into parasite cleansing: protocols, supporting organs, and natural supplementsThe power of green foods: spirulina, chlorella, and chlorophyll for detox and energyNutrient-dense eating habits: OMAD (one meal a day), fat-rich elixirs, and mindful snackingThe importance of sun exposure at high elevation and natural hydrationCommunity and lifestyle shifts: making health a priority through baby stepsReal-life examples of aging healthfully: seniors hiking and staying activePractical tips for reducing toxin exposure: safe sunscreens, water hydration, and avoiding chemicalsTimestamps: 00:00 - Introduction: Exploring nature, detox, and vitality 00:47 - First live stream from the Yuba River 01:44 - Hosts welcome listeners and share current outing plans 02:20 - Choosing nutrient-rich beverages for outdoor days 03:10 - The benefits of unplugging from technology and social media 04:33 - Day four of a social media detox and feeling great 05:16 - Hiking Sierra Buttes: elevation gains and stunning views 06:23 - The importance of reconnecting with nature and childhood roots 06:50 - Deep dive into parasite protocol and holistic health routines 08:30 - Supporting detox pathways: kidneys and drainage techniques 09:43 - Monitoring your body's detox readiness with urine and bowel health 10:12 - Understanding detox reactions and the long-term journey 11:14 - The role of spirulina, kamut wheatgrass, and greens in detox 12:39 - The significance of liver support with green foods 14:08 - Nutrient-dense, minimal eating: OMAD lifestyle and the power of fats 15:48 - Elevating energy with amino acids and strategic supplementationResources & Links:The Ultimate Lifestyle TransformationOur Drinks: Can’t BEET ThisOur Amino AcidsSpirulinaChlorellaSuper Xanthin (Astaxanthin)Connect with Brooke & Matt:Brooke & Matt WebsiteBrooke’s InstagramMatt InstagramJoin Our SKOOL Community:Connect with us on SKOOL HERE😃/ https://www.skool.com/rise-2-thrive-2177/aboutSubscribe to Matt + Brooke’s “Updates from the Road” Newsletter:Subscribe Here: https://rise2thrive.kit.com/subscribe
