What if intermittent fasting was the key to losing weight, protecting your brain health, and staving off Alzheimer’s? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. David Jockers, DNM, DC, MS, a leader in metabolic health, functional nutrition, and natural health, who shares powerful insights into how fasting and autophagy can transform brain function.

Dr. Jockers explains the science behind autophagy, the body’s self-cleaning process, and how fasting can reduce brain inflammation, balance blood sugar, and enhance cognitive performance. He also dives into the benefits of exercise for both brain and metabolic health and shares how peptides can support healing and regeneration.

If you’re ready to boost your brain health and take control of your long-term wellness, this episode is a must-listen.

“That's what I love about fasting–it doesn't cost us anything. I would say it's the most ancient, inexpensive, and powerful healing strategy known to mankind.”
