Dr. Jockers uncovers the key to cellular healing and mitochondrial health in this episode. Mitochondria don’t just produce energy—they also act as the cell's brain, reacting to their environment and stressors.

You'll learn about the stages of the cell danger response and how mitochondria switch between wartime and peacetime modes. This shift is vital for healing chronic illness, especially if you're stuck in an inflammatory state.

Dr. Jockers also shares practical tips like reducing toxic load and improving drainage pathways. Simple habits like staying active, hydrating, and getting enough sleep can help your body move from inflammation to repair.
