Episode notes

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Christian Yordanov expose a hidden driver behind chronic illness: endotoxins. These toxic fragments from gut bacteria can leak into the bloodstream and ignite widespread inflammation. If you're dealing with fatigue, brain fog, or gut issues, this conversation could change everything.

You’ll learn how inflammation—though meant to protect—is often hijacked by endotoxins, leading to immune overload and long-term damage. Christian explains how this silent process affects your energy, heart, brain, and more, revealing just how deeply gut health impacts the rest of your body.

We also challenge some popular health advice—like whether fiber is always a good thing. Christian shares why “feeding your gut” could backfire in certain cases, and offers practical strategies to lower endotoxin load, repair the gut barrier, and restore mitochondrial health through diet, supplements, and smart lifestyle changes.
