Chapter 1

Why Detox for Kids Matters

Blake Roth

Alright, welcome back to Deep Dive with Blake and Amy. Today, we’re talking about something that, honestly, I didn’t even know was a thing until Amy brought it up—detox for kids. Like, I always thought detox was for adults who, you know, maybe had a wild weekend or something. But apparently, kids are getting exposed to all sorts of stuff too?

Amy Johnson

Yeah, and it’s kind of wild when you start looking into it. I mean, kids are exposed to heavy metals and toxins just from, like, everyday life—water, food, even the air. It’s not just about eating too much candy or something. There’s lead, mercury, all these things that can build up over time. And their little bodies are still developing, so it’s a bigger deal.

Blake Roth

Right, and I guess the tricky part is, you can’t just hand a five-year-old a handful of supplements and say, “Here, take these, they’re good for you.” I mean, I was a nightmare with medicine as a kid. My mom had to chase me around the house with a spoonful of cough syrup.

Amy Johnson

Oh, totally. And it’s not just the taste, it’s the whole experience. I actually tried to sneak some supplements into my nephew’s smoothie last year—he’s six, super picky. I thought I was being so clever, but he took one sip, made this face, and was like, “Aunt Amy, what did you put in here?” Busted immediately. Parents are up against a lot when it comes to getting kids to take anything that tastes even a little bit weird.

Blake Roth

Yeah, and you can’t blame them. I mean, some of those powders and herbal drops, they taste like, I don’t know, pond water? Or worse. And then there’s the whole safety thing—like, you want to help your kid, but you don’t want to overdo it or give them something harsh.

Amy Johnson

Exactly. So, the challenge is finding something that’s safe, gentle, and—this is key—something they’ll actually take without a fight. Which brings us to Clean Slate, right?

Chapter 2

How Clean Slate Works

Blake Roth

Yeah, so Clean Slate is this zeolite drop—clinoptilolite zeolite, if I’m saying that right. It’s a natural mineral, and the cool thing is, it’s nano-sized, so it’s super gentle. The science-y part is, it acts like a magnet for heavy metals and toxins, just kind of grabs onto them and helps the body get rid of them. But here’s the kicker—it’s totally tasteless. Like, you drop it in their juice or water, and they don’t even know it’s there.

Amy Johnson

That’s the game-changer. No taste, no smell, no weird texture. You just add a drop or two to whatever they’re already drinking. No pills, no powders, no drama. I mean, I wish I’d had this when I was trying to sneak stuff into my nephew’s smoothie. He would’ve never known.

Blake Roth

And for picky eaters—look, I was the king of picky eaters growing up in Tennessee. If it looked weird or tasted off, I wasn’t touching it. My mom would’ve loved something like this. No more hiding stuff in applesauce or bribing me with extra TV time.

Amy Johnson

And it’s not just about convenience. The fact that it’s gentle is huge. Some detoxes can be a little rough, especially for kids. But Clean Slate is designed to be subtle, so you don’t get those big detox reactions—like, what’s it called, the Herxheimer effect? Where you feel worse before you feel better?

Blake Roth

Yeah, that’s the one. Nobody wants their kid feeling crummy just because you’re trying to help them. With Clean Slate, it’s more like a daily, passive thing. You just add it to their routine, and it does its thing in the background.

Amy Johnson

And the dosing is simple, too. It’s just a drop or two, depending on their age. You can start slow, see how they do, and adjust. No complicated schedules or measuring out powders. It’s honestly kind of a relief for parents.

Chapter 3

Comparing Detox Options

Blake Roth

So, let’s talk about how Clean Slate stacks up against other detox products. There’s TRS Spray, Pure Body Extra Kids, and then all those herbal things—chlorella, spirulina, NDF Calm. I mean, some of those taste like, well, let’s just say they’re an acquired taste.

Amy Johnson

Yeah, and even the other sprays, like TRS, have a slight mineral taste. Pure Body Extra Kids is a little chalky. Not terrible, but kids notice. Clean Slate is the only one that’s truly tasteless, which is why it’s so easy for daily use, especially with picky eaters.

Blake Roth

And the form matters, too. Pills and powders are just a no-go for a lot of kids. Drops are better, but if they taste weird, you’re back to square one. Clean Slate is just a quick drop or two in their drink, and you’re done.

Amy Johnson

Plus, safety-wise, Clean Slate is really gentle. You don’t have to worry about those harsh detox reactions. Some of the herbal options can be a little strong, and not every kid tolerates them well. With Clean Slate, you start with one drop, see how they do, and go from there. It’s low stress.

Blake Roth

I read about a family who switched from herbal detoxes to Clean Slate. Their kids used to fight them every morning—like, full-on negotiations just to get them to take their supplements. But with Clean Slate, they just put it in their water bottles before school, and the kids didn’t even notice. No more battles, no more complaints. Their whole morning routine got easier.

Amy Johnson

That’s the dream, right? Gentle, daily detox without the drama. And honestly, it’s about making healthy habits stick. If it’s easy, you’re way more likely to keep it up.

Blake Roth

Alright, I think that’s a good place to wrap up. If you’re a parent looking for a no-fuss way to help your kids detox, Clean Slate seems like a pretty solid option. We’ll keep digging into more products and routines in future episodes, so stay tuned.

Amy Johnson
