Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers explains why yellow teeth are rarely about your coffee or your brushing, and why he sees them as a metabolic signal tied to your salivary pH, which reflects your gut, liver, and metabolic health.
 
You will learn the six internal triggers dentists rarely address, including acid reflux, liver congestion, gut dysbiosis, mineral deficiencies, chronic dehydration, and inflammation, plus how whitening strips and bleach weaken your enamel, increase porosity, and set you up for rebound staining.
 
Dr. Jockers also shares his natural whitening protocol: baking soda and activated charcoal once a week, daily coconut oil pulling, and the foods that support salivary pH and remineralization, along with the foods to avoid, how to use apple cider vinegar and mineral-rich water, a seven-day challenge, and answers to common questions on sensitive teeth, genetics, coffee stains, and xylitol gum.

Hair loss often has less to do with your age than with hair follicles that get switched off and stuck before they can return to the growing phase. That's where Hair Renewal from Purality Health comes in, featuring AnaGain Nu, a compound extracted from pea sprouts by Swiss researchers and clinically studied for stimulating hair follicle cells, with a Micelle Liposomal formula to help your body absorb it. Go to puralityhealth.com and use code JOCKERS40 for 40% off, backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee.
 
A lot of skincare looks good on paper but never really delivers, or it sells you on needing 10 different products to have an effective routine. That's why OneSkin stands out: it was founded by longevity researchers and built around the OS-01 peptide, which is designed to target the damaged senescent cells behind visible skin aging and is backed by four peer-reviewed clinical studies. Go to oneskin.co/drjockers and use code DRJOCKERS for 15% off.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with longevity researcher and his longtime best friend Dr. Isaac Jones, founder of Elevays, to break down the hallmarks of aging and the 10 most research-backed nutrients for protecting your cells and mitochondria as you age.
 
You will learn why aging isn't a slow, linear decline but an exponential drop-off driven by a vicious cycle of oxidative stress, fibrosis, microbiome imbalance, and mitochondrial dysfunction, plus why your mindset about how long you'll live shapes the choices that determine your healthspan.
 
Dr. Jockers and Dr. Isaac also walk through a cutting-edge longevity stack, including 2-HOBA, urolithin A, pomegranate extract, glutathione, NAC, L-carnitine, NR, PQQ, CoQ10, and alpha lipoic acid, and explain how these nutrients work together to repair cell membranes, renew mitochondria, boost NAD+, and clear toxins like PFAS.

As you age, your natural collagen production declines, leading to fine lines and wrinkles, joint pain, dark circles under your eyes, and more. That's why I love the Bone Broth Protein from Paleovalley, made from 100% grass-fed beef bones that are slow-simmered and tested for over 40 pesticides, with 15 grams of collagen protein and a clinical 3.4-gram dose of sleep-supporting glycine in every serving. Go to paleovalley.com/jockers for 15% off 100% grass-fed bone broth protein.
If you're under stress, fasting, eating low-carb, or training hard, you're losing more sodium, potassium, and magnesium than you probably realize, and that can leave you wired, tired, and depleted. That's one of the reasons I use Re-Lyte from Redmond every day, made with unrefined Real Salt, two types of magnesium, and no sugar or artificial ingredients. Go to redmond.life/drjockers and use code JOCKERS for 15% off.
A poor night's sleep drains your energy and mental clarity faster than almost anything else, and finding a way to truly wind down is crucial. That's why I love the infrared sauna blanket from Bon Charge, which heats your body directly at a lower temperature to help relieve stress, soothe sore muscles, sweat out toxins, and boost circulation from the comfort of home, then folds right up into a closet. Go to boncharge.com and use code DRJOCKERS for 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty.
 
Thicker hair and healthier-looking skin don't have to require appointments or complicated routines. A simple way to get there is clinically backed red light therapy from iRestore, including the Elite helmet with 300 lasers and 200 LEDs to help regrow thicker hair, and the cordless Illumina Face Mask that targets fine lines, breakouts, and dullness in just 10 minutes. Go to irestore.com and use code JOCKERS to save on customer favorites.
 
Being told "everything looks normal" at your annual checkup doesn't mean you really know what's happening inside your body. That's why I recommend SuperPower, a membership that tests 150+ biomarkers every year across a baseline and a progress test, covering your heart, liver, thyroid, hormones, metabolism, nutrient levels, gut microbiome, and even environmental toxins. Go to superpower.com and use code JOCKERS for $50 off your membership.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down the science of red and infrared light therapy for joint pain and inflammation, and shares how he used it daily to recover from a completely torn distal bicep tendon without surgery.
You will learn how red and infrared wavelengths power up your mitochondria, boost nitric oxide and circulation, and calm inflammatory signaling, plus what the research shows for osteoarthritis, neck and back pain, tendon injuries, and fibromyalgia.
Dr. Jockers also covers the practical protocol: the best wavelengths, how close to get to a panel, how long and how often to use it, the best time of day, eye safety, and why he recommends a targeted, wearable device like the Kineon MOVE+ Pro when a specific joint is screaming at you.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down why the food pyramid most of us learned in school was wrong, and how the newly released pyramid reverses more than 50 years of mainstream nutrition advice by dropping the grain-based foundation and the low-fat obsession.
 
You will learn what Dr. Jockers calls the real food pyramid: protein and healthy fats at the base, fasting and no snacking between meals to keep insulin low, non-starchy vegetables above that, and fruit and starchy vegetables as an optional lever for energy and performance. He also explains why he recommends removing grains, processed sugar, and seed oils.
 
Dr. Jockers also shares the story of his patient Phil, who lost 50 pounds in four months after making these changes, and answers the most common questions about the new pyramid, including why doctors promoted the old one, whether fiber is essential, why seed oils are a problem now, and whether a high-fat diet is dangerous for the heart.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Caroline Alan, "The Mineral Geek," co-founder and CEO of Beam Minerals and author of The Mineral Reset, for a deep dive into why minerals are the foundation of cellular energy, hormones, brain function, and detox.
 
You will learn what minerals actually do inside your cells, the surprising signs of mineral deficiency, from anxiety and poor sleep to brain fog and nighttime leg cramps, and why depleted soils, filtered water, and glyphosate make it nearly impossible to get enough from food alone.
 
Dr. Jockers and Caroline also cover the difference between humic and fulvic substances, why megadosing single minerals can throw your body out of balance, how to start slowly if you are sensitive to detox, and how these plant-based mineral complexes support your mitochondria and gut microbiome.

As you age, your natural collagen production declines, and that shows up as fine lines and wrinkles, joint pain, and dark circles under your eyes. That's why I love the Bone Broth Protein from Paleovalley, made from 100% grass-fed beef bones that are slow-simmered to deliver 15 grams of collagen protein and 3.4 grams of sleep-supporting glycine in every serving. Go to paleovalley.com/jockers for 15% off your order.
Optimizing your mineral levels is one of the most overlooked aspects of wellness, and it could be the missing piece for your energy and productivity. That's why I take a half capful of Electrolyze and Micro Boost from Beam Minerals every morning: plant-based humic and fulvic mineral complexes that taste like water, absorb easily, and won't break your fast. Go to beamminerals.com/DRJOCKERS and use code DRJOCKERS for 20% off your first order.
If you're under stress, fasting, eating low-carb, or training hard, you're losing more sodium, potassium, and magnesium than you probably realize, and that can leave you wired, tired, and depleted. That's one of the reasons I use Re-Lyte from Redmond every day, made with unrefined Real Salt, two types of magnesium, and no sugar or artificial ingredients. Go to redmond.life/drjockers and use code JOCKERS for 15% off.
Two people can have completely different gut microbiomes, and completely different diet and supplement needs, even when their symptoms look the same. That's why it's important to test and not guess with the at-home gut health test from Tiny Health, which uses metagenomic sequencing to reveal signs of inflammation, leaky gut, and imbalances, then gives you a personalized action plan. Go to tinyhealth.com/drjockers for $50 off your first at-home test kit.
