Episode notes

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.
