In rounding out the last episode of our nutrition series we're talking all things Keto PLUS we kick things off with a mini solo episode where we share what's been challenging & what positive lessons we've learned since going into quarantine!

Because we know there are a lot of faux "experts" and misinformation, we were really excited to bring on Dr. Jockers who is a doctor of natural medicine, functional nutritionist, corrective care chiropractor and Ketogenic diet expert. He owns and operates Exodus Health Center in Kennesaw, Georgia and runs one of the most popular natural health websites, DrJockers.com which has gotten over 1 million monthly visitors!

In this episode we discuss:

*How Dr. Jockers got into the field of natural medicine and why his work with clients is different than most primary care physicians and more focused on getting to the root of issue and then finding natural ways to bring the body back into homeostasis.

* His own health struggle with IBS and inflammation and how intermittent fasting and a low carb helped him get his health & his life back!

* What the high fat, low carb ketogenic approach is all about and how to transition into ketosis safely and effectively the first time

* The long list of health benefits of the ketogenic diet and what a day in the life eating this way looks like

* Why eating quickly and on-the-go is problematic for your digestive health 

* Dr. Jockers top tips for getting deep, restorative sleep 

* The top 3 supplements he recommends everyone take and why

PLUS what he's is really excited about in his business and life!

In times of crisis, it's easy to let fear consume us and we can begin losing control over our time, energy and focus. That's why Rye & Jess teamed up to acknowledge the fears around this pandemic, and encourage listeners to focus on what they can control and what they can do to take advantage of time at home, outside of your usual routine. It's time to look inward, get resourceful, get creative, and seek ways to connect and support one another during this unique time of 'social distancing,' loss and fear.
