In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dylan Gemelli to unpack how rethinking nutrition—especially the role of healthy fats—can transform energy, mental clarity, and body composition. You'll hear why a shift from restrictive eating to a nutrient-rich, fat-fueled diet can reduce inflammation and improve overall health.

You'll also discover the fascinating world of peptides and how they can be used to accelerate recovery, support gut health, and even aid fat loss. Dylan explains which peptides are worth knowing about, how they work, and why they're becoming a powerful tool in functional health.

Beyond supplements and advanced therapies, the conversation highlights simple biohacking strategies that cost nothing but yield huge results. From sleep optimization to sun exposure and recovery routines, Dylan shares the lifestyle tweaks that anyone can implement to feel stronger and more resilient.
