Are hidden toxins and stressors making you feel run down and tired? Are you worried about oxidative stress from exposure to EMF, 5G, heavy metals, chemicals, and processed foods? Toxic is the new normal in our modern world. Toxins in our body take on the role of free radicals, causing oxidative damage on a cellular level that can lead to premature aging and a lower quality of life. One of the most powerful antioxidants known to man is glutathione. It fights free radicals while repairing DNA. However, not all glutathione supplements are created equal. If you’re taking it in capsule or tablet form, you’re missing out on key nutrients that will pass through your body without being absorbed. Purality Health has a patented formula that utilizes Micelle Liposomal technology which delivers the glutathione nutrients into your bloodstream, which has been proven to be 800% more efficient.

Blood Sugar, Autophagy and Brain Health Strategies
This episode is brought to you by Pique, where plants and science intersect to produce teas and supplements of unrivaled efficacy, purity, and convenience. Pique teas are blended with other functional plants specifically designed to support metabolism, gut health, digestion, and shut down appetite…all while helping to ease bloat and curb sugar cravings. If you practice intermittent fasting, drinking these award-winning flavors will not break your fast! I enjoy Pique teas even when not fasting, so I use different flavors for different benefits throughout my day. Pique’s revolutionary Tea Crystals—made with cold extraction technology—are organic, vegan, non-GMO, sugar-free, free of preservatives or additives, and triple toxin screened for purity. What’s more, these pure teas dissolve in hot or cold water, so no prep or brewing is required. Try Pique today risk-free and get 5% off, plus a FREE pouch with 20 premium samples when you purchase a fasting bundle. Head over to piquelife.com/drjockers and use code DRJOCKERS. When it comes to gut health, bone broth is one of my go-to items I add to my diet. But, not all collagen is created equal. Many brands use poor-quality bones and heating methods that remove all of the potent benefits of collagen. And that is why I choose to use Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein Powder, you can get all the gut healing benefits without the mess from a company that uses only 100% grass-fed and finished cows and is not processed with high heat or extracted with harmful chemicals. There are no fillers, flow agents or added flavors. There is only ONE ingredient in this product and it's bovine bone broth protein. That's it. And you can get 15% off today using the code "jockers" or by clicking here: paleovalley.com/jockers Today’s sponsor is Purality Health. Are hidden toxins and stressors making you feel run down and tired? Are you worried about oxidative stress from exposure to EMF, 5G, heavy metals, chemicals, and processed foods? Toxic is the new normal in our modern world. Toxins in our body take on the role of free radicals, causing oxidative damage on a cellular level that can lead to premature aging and a lower quality of life. One of the most powerful antioxidants known to man is glutathione. It fights free radicals while repairing DNA. However, not all glutathione supplements are created equal. If you’re taking it in capsule or tablet form, you’re missing out on key nutrients that will pass through your body without being absorbed. Purality Health has a patented formula that utilizes Micelle Liposomal technology which delivers the glutathione nutrients into your bloodstream, which has been proven to be 800% more efficient. Backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee, you can find them at puralityhealth.com and use the coupon code ‘DRJ’ to get a 30% discount coupon. Dr. Jockers is in the hot seat in this episode of Functional Nutrition as he gets interviewed by Mike Collins as part of the ‘Quit Sugar Summit’. If you’ve enjoyed Dr. Jockers when he’s interviewing other guests, or speaking on a particular health topic, then you’re really in for a treat in this episode as he shares his story on how he came to be empowering people to reach their health potential. There’s valuable information on fructose and corn syrup, and the first three things you can do to kick start your healthier eating regime. And because it’s all told from the perspective of how Dr. Jockers achieved a healthy lifestyle himself, the conversation is super relatable. Knowledge is power, and with the knowledge that Dr. Jockers is freely dishing out, the power is truly in our hands to make those incremental changes that lead to us ditching the sugar and making more healthy eating decisions in general, setting us up for a lifetime of wellness that is well worth it. “I really focus on creating the world’s best natural health content to inspire, educate, and empower as many people as possible to reach their health potential." -Dr. David Jockers Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio In This Episode: The Importance of the ‘Quit Sugar Summit’ Sugar and David Jockers’ childhood What happened when Dr. Jockers started drinking lots of water in college Discovering the term ‘intermittent fasting’ What is the first thing you need to do to get healthy?

What are the key factors that impact how you age and your level of health as you get older? What do we need to be practicing on a day-to-day basis to have increased wellness, which tees us up for a long life? Longevity, aging, and the warning signs that you may not be aging correctly are today’s hot topics that are being discussed by Dr. Jockers and Jason Prall. Jason Prall is the creator of ‘The Human Longevity Project’. He’s interviewed centenarians (people who are 100 years or older), and visited ‘blue zone’ communities where people are aging well. He is also the author of the book ‘Beyond Longevity’. He brings his wealth of experience in the field of longevity to this fascinating episode of Functional Nutrition. There’s hope abundant in the form of human ingenuity, as we shape how we age. This is a deep dive into the very meaning of life as we seek to live long and prosper. “The discussion is: how long can we live? And: is aging a disease that needs to be sort of solved and cured? And I think these are very interesting conversations. Fundamentally I actually like the hope and this human ingenuity that we can do anything we want." -Jason Prall Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio In This Episode: Introduction to longevity How we age, not if we age What’s impacting how we are aging? How does sound impact our health? Jason explains how blue zones came about The importance of community The importance of the baseline state of our nervous system What does it mean to be holobiont? Are we more microbes than humans? What are the levels of symptoms that we can measure our health with? How thoughts, feelings, and beliefs create our behavior The deeper you go when symptoms of sickness start to show, the more you can explore your core wounds Why do we engage in activities that are unhealthy for us? Our subconscious beliefs are not our fault How do sleep, light, and circadian rhythm affect our health? How much sleep is enough? Making the choice to let in natural light and turn off lights at night Our body can only do so much Being powerless against fatty, carbohydrate-rich foods Bringing awareness to what we eat as the solution to behavioral change Make it challenging for yourself to make bad consumption decisions Resources: Jockers – Pique – Use Code DRJOCKERS and get 5% off paleovalley.com/jockers – get 15% off today using the code "jockers" PUREDOSE® Micelle Liposomal Glutathione – Use Coupon Code DRJ for 30% off Connect with Jason Prall: Book - BeyondLongevitybook.com Amazon Link: https://amzn.to/3XJoUpO Email - partner@awakenedcollective.com Beyond Longevity (the book, Amazon Link) - Beyond Longevity: A Proven Plan for Healing Faster, Feeling Better, and Thriving at Any Age Instagram - Jason Prall (@jason.prall) Connect with Dr. Jockers: Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/drjockers/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/DrDavidJockers YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/djockers Website – https://drjockers.com/ ● If you are interested in being a guest on the show, we would love to hear from you!
