ADVICE

Limit Net Carbs And Prioritize Protein

Do limit daily net carbs to about 100–150 g unless you're a high-level athlete.
Prioritize 30–50+ g protein per meal and add healthy fats to curb cravings and insulin spikes.

INSIGHT

How Chronic Carbs Drive Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance arises when chronic high-carb intake drives insulin up and cells lose sensitivity.
Elevated insulin increases inflammation, fat storage, and reduces mitochondrial function leading to fatigue and cravings.

ADVICE

Recognize Post-Meal Fatigue And Cravings

If you feel tired and crave sweets after meals, check carb intake and insulin sensitivity.
Also evaluate food sensitivities and stomach acid as alternative causes of post-meal fatigue.

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.
