Episode notes

Welcome back to another Q&A session with Dr. Jockers. Today, we’re discussing a bunch of health topics that matter to you, sharing practical tips for staying healthy naturally.

Let’s start by questioning the idea of getting a colonoscopy every year after you hit 50. I’ll explain why it might not be necessary for everyone and why paying attention to your body’s signals is key.

We’ll cover a lot of ground in this episode, from what pregnant women should eat to how to deal with anxiety using diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes. I’ll also share my own story about healing a bicep tendon injury without surgery.

Plus, we’ll talk about gut health, food combining, and the best diets for managing SIBO and IBS. And I’ll give you the lowdown on dietary supplements like ashwagandha.

Stick around as we bust some myths, share personal experiences, and wrap up with some useful resources.
