    Top 5 Health Myths the Experts Lied to You About

    03/09/2026 | 22 mins.
    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers goes solo to break down five of the most common health myths he hears on a regular basis, the ones most people you know believe and are unknowingly putting into practice against their own health.


    You will learn why sunshine isn't the enemy your dermatologist made it out to be, why skipping breakfast can be one of the healthiest things you do, why saturated fat and cholesterol aren't driving your heart disease risk, why a low-salt diet might be working against you, and why a high-protein diet isn't damaging your kidneys, plus the real, evidence-backed root causes behind each of these conditions.

    Top Foods, Nutrients and Peptides for Cellular Longevity with Dr. Josh Axe

    01/09/2026 | 54 mins.
    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers is joined by his longtime friend Dr. Josh Axe, co-founder and chief visionary officer of Ancient Nutrition, founder of draxe.com, and founder of The Health Institute, for a deep dive into cellular longevity.
     
    You will learn why some organs age faster than others, what's really happening inside your cell membranes and mitochondria as you get older, and which foods, from super berries and pomegranates to organ meats, healthy fats, fermented foods, and longevity mushrooms, do the most to slow that process down.
     
    Dr. Axe and Dr. Jockers also break down his top longevity supplements, including vitamin D, soil-based probiotics, omega-3s, magnesium, and NAD/NMN, why quality matters so much more than quantity when it comes to supplements, and the surprising role of the gut microbiome, bee products, and daily herbal tea in living a longer, more vibrant life.

    The Insulin Resistance Healing Protocol That Works

    27/08/2026 | 22 mins.
    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers lays out the exact insulin resistance healing protocol he's used to help thousands of people restore metabolic health, sometimes in as little as a week, and almost always within a few months.
     
    You will learn why late-night eating is one of the biggest hidden drivers of insulin resistance, which nine common cooking oils are quietly wrecking your cell membranes, why "obesogens" hiding in your food, water, and home can stall fat loss no matter how clean you eat, and the exact fasting and eating-window strategy.
     
    Dr. Jockers uses to help clients rebuild their fat-burning machinery. He closes with the one mindset shift that determines whether any of it sticks.



    In This Episode: 
    00:00 Identity Change Mindset
    00:18 Welcome and Support
    04:36 Insulin Resistance Explained
    05:45 Stop Late Night Eating

    The SHOCKING Benefits of Not Eating for 72 Hours

    25/08/2026 | 1h 4 mins.
    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with fasting expert Ben Azadi, host of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast and author of the book Metabolic Freedom, for a detailed, hour-by-hour walk through exactly what happens inside your body during a 72-hour water fast.
     
    You will learn what's really going on at each stage of a fast, from the first 12 hours of digestive rest all the way through ketone production, autophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and a dramatic spike in growth hormone, plus why your body targets visceral fat and old, damaged proteins before anything else.
     
    Dr. Jockers and Ben also cover how to prepare your body before a long fast, what to eat (and avoid) once you break it, which liquids and supplements actually support a fast, and the specific dopamine and immune system resets that happen at the 48 and 72 hour marks.
