Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down how to trigger GLP-1, the same satiety hormone mimicked by Ozempic and Wegovy, naturally through food, without weekly injections, nausea, muscle loss, or a $900 to $1,300 monthly price tag.
 
You will learn how GLP-1 and PYY are produced by the L cells in your gut, why protein and fiber are the key triggers for these hormones, and the seven foods that do this better than anything else: grass-fed red meat, pasture-raised eggs, wild-caught salmon, extra virgin olive oil, avocados, apple cider vinegar, and bitter herbs, plus a bonus fat-burning food, MCT oil.
 
Dr. Jockers also covers why the order you eat your food matters, a simple pre-meal apple cider vinegar protocol, a meal-building framework and sample day of eating, a realistic timeline of results, and answers to the most common questions about carbs, calorie counting, plant-based diets, and combining this approach with intermittent fasting.
 
"Your body knows how to burn fat. You just have to give it the right signals through food." - Dr. David Jockers

In this solo episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down the protein sparing modified fast (PSMF), a low-calorie, high-protein eating plan that research shows is one of the fastest ways to burn fat while protecting your muscle and bone tissue.
 
You will learn the exact macronutrient targets for this plan, from protein, net carb, and fat limits to how to split them across two or three meals, plus the best foods to build your plate around and why a multivitamin and electrolytes matter while you follow it.
 
Dr. Jockers also explains how long to stay on the plan, how the refeeding phase keeps the weight from coming right back, who should avoid this approach entirely, and why it works so well for people looking to lose 10 to 20 pounds quickly.
 
"Ketosis is a physiological state where there is deep healing that takes place." - Dr. David Jockers

In this solo episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down the vagus nerve, the longest nerve in your body and the main driver of your rest and digest state, and explains why so many people with anxiety, poor sleep, and digestive issues are really stuck in chronic fight or flight.
 
You will learn how the ventral and dorsal branches of the vagus nerve shape your calm, stress, and freeze responses, the common signs of poor vagal tone, and four simple at-home tests you can use to check your own vagal tone, from the pupillary light test to your heart rate to breath rate ratio and HRV.
 
Dr. Jockers also walks you step by step through the Stanley Rosenberg two-minute eye movement reset, five easy daily exercises like humming, gargling, box breathing, and cold exposure, plus the light, sleep, and nutrient strategies that support strong vagal tone for the long haul.
 
"Humming and deep breathing stimulate your natural "chill out" button, your vagus nerve, which helps put a brake on stress and anxiety." - Dr. David Jockers

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Dr. Sharon Stills, a licensed naturopathic medical doctor with over 25 years of experience and founder of the Lasting Wellness Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, to break down how women can thrive through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
 
You will learn why some women sail through this transition while others feel completely wrecked, how Dr. Stills uses bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone (and why the delivery method matters so much), and why she relies on 24-hour wet urine testing instead of dried urine panels. She also explains how to read thyroid labs the right way and the unique symptoms that point to low estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or thyroid.
 
Dr. Jockers and Dr. Stills also cover the best diet for women in midlife, why sunlight and true darkness are so powerful for your hormones and sleep, the key supplements most women need, the best forms of magnesium, and why skipping meals and chronic dehydration quietly drain your adrenals.
 
"There's nothing that our hormones don't touch." - Dr. Sharon Stills

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers shares a simple olive oil strategy that helps activate fat burning, switch on autophagy, and target the dangerous visceral fat that surrounds your liver, heart, and pancreas, all without having to labor through a water fast.
 
You will learn about the three key polyphenols in high-quality extra virgin olive oil (oleuropein, oleocanthal, and hydroxytyrosol), how they flip your master metabolic switch from mTOR to AMPK, and the five major ways to activate autophagy and deep cellular healing.
 
Dr. Jockers also covers the additional benefits of high-polyphenol olive oil for blood pressure, brain health, pain, blood sugar, and cholesterol, why most olive oil on store shelves is diluted with seed oils, exactly how much to take and when, and the real patient stories behind this strategy.
 
"Two tablespoons a day of olive oil could be doing more for your body than half the supplements in your cabinet."
