Then Dr. Jockers' 3 Key Tips are going to be absolutely critical for you!    When we eat solid food it puts a lot of mechanical tension on the intestinal membrane, so embracing liquid nutrition is paramount. This allows our body to expend less energy breaking our food down.    Then, if you are looking to work out which foods are causing you problems, it helps to eat food in isolation. So consider eating your broccoli for lunch – and then steak on its own for dinner.   Learn about how to make a good protein shake, why it's essential to cook your food really well and take a few deep breaths before mealtime.    You don't need to be in fight or flight when it's time to eat. Ramp up that digestive system and optimize your digestion. Check out the tips inside and start practicing them today for better gut health. Let's dive into the show!    "Before you eat, you need to activate a part of your nervous system called your parasympathetic nervous system. That's the system that helps you relax, heal, and digest your food." ~ Dr. David Jockers Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio In This Episode:   Tip#1: Embracing liquid nutrition Making a good protein shake Tip#2: Eating Food in isolation The importance of cooking your food really well Tip #3 Reduce stress   Resources: Mushroom Mindboost Pure Health Research - Free bottle of Nano Powered Omega 3 when you buy Joint Support!     Connect with Dr. Jockers: Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/drjockers/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/DrDavidJockers YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/djockers Website – https://drjockers.com/ If you are interested in being a guest on the show, we would love to hear from you! Please contact us here! - https://drjockers.com/join-us-dr-jockers-functional-nutrition-podcast/

Our brains rely on SO many compounds found in nature. These include vitamins and minerals, but also things like polysaccharides, flavonoids, amino acids, carotenoids, folates, enzymes, and so, so much more. But how many of these are you actually getting?   Due to modern farming practices, environmental pollution, and the continued loss of nutrients in our foods, most people aren't taking in nearly enough of what their brains need.   If you're experiencing cognition problems like memory loss or brain fog, then chances are you too are missing out on a lot of these important compounds.   The good news? Medicinal mushrooms contain ALL of these compounds and more! This is why our friends over at Purality Health have infused five of the most nutritious medicinal mushrooms with their MICELLE LIPOSOMAL formula to create Mushroom Mindboost.   Purality Health's patented formula allows these rare, highly beneficial mushroom compounds to be safely shuttled directly into your bloodstream.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down the subtle warning signs your body gives when you're eating too many carbs. You'll learn how insulin resistance develops silently and why symptoms like fatigue, cravings, and energy crashes often show up first. This conversation helps you understand what's happening on a cellular level without overwhelming you.   You'll also hear how skin changes—like acne, pigmentation shifts, and skin tags—can signal deeper metabolic issues. Dr. Jockers explains why excess glucose and insulin can inflame the skin and accelerate oxidative stress. These clues help you spot problems long before labs do.   We also dive into how high-carb eating impacts hormones, weight loss, and hydration. You'll understand why stubborn fat won't budge, why thirst increases, and how timing your carbs can dramatically improve glucose control. The goal is to help you tune into what your body has been trying to tell you.     In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Carbohydrate Consumption 00:28 Podcast Introduction and Episode Overview 01:13 Health Coaching and Resources 04:00 Understanding Carbohydrate Overconsumption 06:05 Warning Signs of Excessive Carbohydrate Intake 08:46 Skin Problems and Carbohydrates 13:31 Hormonal Issues Linked to Carbs 15:57 Frequent Thirst and High Blood Pressure 18:38 Best Practices for Carbohydrate Consumption 22:48 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   If you want to burn belly fat…boost your energy levels…balance blood sugar…or relieve swelling in your legs or feet… Then you need to check out PureHealth Research immediately.   This company makes some amazing health-boosting supplements that are manufactured right here in America.   They only use natural, non-GMO ingredients that are backed by the latest science and proven to work.   And right now, you can save 35% on all of their products with this special subscriber-only offer.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Vanessa Spina break down new human research showing why high protein doesn't block autophagy when calories are low. You'll learn how this changes everything we've believed about protein timing, fasting, and cellular repair. The conversation also reveals why prioritizing protein can accelerate fat loss without sacrificing muscle.   You'll hear how protein impacts appetite, hormones, and metabolic flexibility—and why many people overeat simply because they're under-consuming essential amino acids. Vanessa explains the protein leverage effect and how it naturally reduces cravings, stabilizes blood sugar, and makes eating "effortlessly" satisfying. These insights can help you rethink how you build your daily meals.   You'll discover why certain fasting styles can increase visceral fat loss, support hormonal balance, and boost performance. Expect a mix of science, real-world application, and surprising findings you may not have heard before.     In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction and Exciting New Study 00:21 Welcome and Guest Introduction 00:30 Deep Dive into the New Study 01:52 Vanessa Spina's Expertise and Background 05:47 Interview with Vanessa Spina Begins 06:15 Discussion on Protein Absorption Study 14:04 Personal Experiences with Protein and Fasting 16:55 Debunking Protein Myths 18:10 Nutrition Principles and Protein Prioritization 22:23 Ketones, Satiety, and Inflammation 27:07 Balancing Hormones and Stress 31:17 Understanding Autophagy and Protein Intake 32:35 The Importance of Human Trials in Research 35:11 Study on High Protein Fasting Mimicking Diet 38:38 Results and Implications of the Study 42:18 Personal Experiences with Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting 45:32 Practical Tips for Implementing Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting 57:54 Comparing Different Fasting Approaches 01:01:13 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   Hydration is one of the fastest ways to boost your energy, sharpen your focus, curb cravings, and even improve the look and feel of your skin — but water alone isn't enough.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers reveals the simplest yet most powerful strategy to heal and protect your brain: intermittent fasting. By stabilizing blood sugar and reducing insulin levels, fasting supports mitochondrial health, which is crucial for maintaining brain function and preventing degeneration.   You'll learn how brain degeneration isn't something that happens overnight, but rather a 30–40 year process that starts early, often in childhood. Dr. Jockers explains how poor metabolic health over time can silently damage the brain, leading to conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's.   Finally, discover how intermittent fasting not only supports brain repair but also activates powerful neuroprotective mechanisms, including the production of BDNF, a critical factor for brain regeneration. It's a simple lifestyle shift with profound long-term effects on cognitive health.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Intermittent Fasting and Brain Health 02:34 The Rise of Brain Degeneration 03:41 Benefits of Intermittent Fasting 09:28 Understanding Neuroinflammation 13:02 Preparing for Intermittent Fasting 15:44 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Struggling with digestion?

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers joins Ben Azadi to break down what really happens inside your body during a 72-hour fast — from burning stored fat to reducing inflammation in the brain. Together, they explore how fasting resets dopamine, boosts mental clarity, and strengthens emotional resilience while tapping into your body's innate healing power.   You'll hear Dr. Jockers and Ben discuss how autophagy clears out old, damaged cells and replaces them with stronger, more stress-resilient ones. They also dive into how fasting triggers the creation of new mitochondria — your body's energy factories — helping you burn fat more efficiently and age more gracefully.   Finally, discover how fasting boosts growth hormone and resets your immune system, leading to greater energy, sharper focus, and improved longevity. Whether you're new to fasting or ready to take it to the next level, this episode reveals the science and strategy behind one of nature's most powerful healing tools.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Sacrifice and Dopamine 04:45 The Science of Fasting: 12 to 24 Hours 14:27 Autophagy and Metabolic Health 16:41 Air Quality and Autophagy Explained 28:29 Preparing for a Successful Fast 34:19 Understanding Cravings During Fasting 34:30 Timing Fasting with Menstrual Cycles 34:53 Managing Hunger and Ghrelin 36:03 Benefits of Extended Fasting 36:37 Fat Burning and Liver Health 38:41 Fasting and Intestinal Health 42:00 Dopamine Reset and Fasting 48:15 Supplements and Liquids During Fasting 54:59 Breaking the Fast and Refeeding 58:03 Gratitude and Final Thoughts   Hydration is one of the fastest ways to boost your energy, sharpen your focus, curb cravings, and even improve the look and feel of your skin — but water alone isn't enough.
