  • Steve Wright: How to Retrain a Broken Gut-Immune System

    In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Steve Wright explain why many people stay inflamed even after removing toxins and eating clean. The real issue isn't exposure—it's lost immune tolerance, and the solution is rebuilding resilience.

    You'll learn about the five gut defense layers that regulate your immune system. Fixing oxygen balance, mucus layers, and gut cell mitochondria is key to restoring proper function.

    They also cover how para-probiotics—dead bacteria—can retrain an overactive immune response. If you're sensitive to foods, histamines, or your environment, this episode lays out what to do next.

    In This Episode:

    • 00:00 Introduction to Early Childhood Exposure and Health Benefits

    • 02:59 Interview with Steve Wright: Retraining a Broken Gut Immune System

    • 23:04 Layers of the Gut and Their Functions

    • 26:36 Mitochondria and Gut Health

    • 27:59 Impact of Antibiotics on Gut Microbiome

    • 28:47 The Role of Stomach Acid in Digestion

    • 31:51 Resetting Gut Health

    • 33:27 Individualized Diets and Food Tolerance

    • 36:44 Repairing Gut Health: Steps and Supplements

    • 40:32 Para Probiotics: An Overview

    Still cooking with seed oils? That could be fueling inflammation. I've switched to Paleovalley's 100% grass-fed beef tallow—it's rich in CLA, packed with flavor, and stable at high heat. It's one of the cleanest, most nutrient-dense fats you can cook with. Head to paleovalley.com/jockers and use code JOCKERS for 15% off your order.

    Heartburn doesn't mean you have too much stomach acid—it usually means you don't have enough. That's why I recommend Just Thrive's Digestive Bitters. They help ignite stomach acid, enzymes, and bile so you can finally break down food the way you're supposed to. Go to justthrivehealth.com and use code JOCKERS to save 20%.
