Shocking Truth About Stevia, Blood Sugar and Infertility
In this episode, Dr. Jockers uncovers the surprising truth about Stevia and how it impacts blood sugar and insulin. You’ll hear the science behind why this natural sweetener may be better than artificial alternatives—and when it could backfire. This is where you’ll start questioning what you thought you knew about “safe” sweeteners. You’ll also learn about the long-standing debate over Stevia and infertility, from tribal practices to animal studies that sparked controversy. Dr. Jockers breaks down why the evidence is far from conclusive, and what the FDA still refuses to say. There’s more to this story than the headlines reveal. And if you’ve ever felt “off” after using Stevia, you’ll find out why. Hidden sensitivities, especially in those allergic to ragweed, can completely flip its effects. Understanding how your body personally responds could be the missing key to deciding if Stevia is really right for you.

Fat Burning Power of Fasting: 12 Hours, 24 Hours and 48 Hours Explained
In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down exactly what happens inside your body during a 12, 24, and 48-hour fast. You’ll discover how these fasting windows affect fat burning, metabolism, and even your brain’s performance. The science behind it will show you why fasting is far more powerful than just skipping meals. You’ll also learn how fasting lowers insulin, boosts growth hormone, and increases ketones—helping your body preserve muscle while burning fat. These shifts not only fuel your energy but also enhance mental clarity, creativity, and focus. The longer the fast, the deeper the benefits for your body and brain. Beyond fat burning, fasting activates cellular repair processes like autophagy and stem cell production. These changes promote gut health, reduce inflammation, and support anti-aging at a deep level. By understanding these stages, you’ll be able to create a fasting routine that works best for your unique health goals. In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction to Intermittent Fasting 03:20 The Science of Fasting: 12 to 14 Hours 08:40 The Science of Fasting: 16 Hours 14:03 The Science of Fasting: 20 to 24 Hours 17:43 The Science of Fasting: 3 to 5 Days 18:43 Fasting Strategies and Recommendations 20:39 Conclusion and Final Thoughts If you want to burn belly fat…boost your energy levels…balance blood sugar…or relieve swelling in your legs or feet… Then you need to check out PureHealth Research immediately.
