Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers reveals a powerful olive oil fasting trick that can help activate autophagy, the body's natural cellular cleanup system. You'll learn how high-polyphenol olive oil can support fat burning, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular repair. This simple protocol can be done alongside meals for maximum benefits.
 
Discover the key compounds in extra virgin olive oil—oleuropein, oleocanthal, and hydroxytyrosol—and how they hijack your metabolism to flip the switch from storage to fat burning. Learn why the peppery bite matters and how it signals your cells to repair and regenerate efficiently.
 
Find out how to choose the right olive oil and protect its potency. Dr. Jockers explains why fresh-pressed, high-polyphenol oils from unripe olives make the biggest impact on mitochondrial health. Apply these tips to improve energy, brain function, and overall metabolic performance.
