Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Michael Cohen to explore how neurofeedback can help retrain the brain's "electrical software" to improve anxiety, sleep, focus, and emotional balance. You'll learn why nutrition alone may not fully resolve brain fog or nervous system dysregulation, and how the brain can be trained to create healthier patterns.   Michael breaks down how chronic stress, trauma, overstimulation, and poor nervous system regulation can keep the brain stuck in survival mode. You'll discover how different areas of the brain influence mood, attention, overwhelm, and emotional reactivity—and how targeted brain training may help restore balance.   You'll also hear powerful stories of transformation involving ADHD, autism, concussion recovery, anxiety, and trauma healing. This conversation dives into the connection between sleep, brain health, emotional resilience, and the tools that may help people finally feel calm, focused, and mentally clear again.   In This Episode:  00:00 Neurofeedback Success Story 00:34 Interview Setup and Goals 03:38 Meet Michael Cohen 04:28 Brain Software vs Nutrition 06:18 How Neurofeedback Trains 07:28 Sympathetic Overdrive Explained 10:38 Tools to Reset Calm 12:49 Neurofeedback Process Demo 16:12 Brain Areas and Targets 18:27 Electrodes and Brain Mapping 23:53 Case Study and Root Causes 25:55 Mold EMF and Sleep Tips 27:03 Simple Timer Hack 27:16 NFL Brain Recovery Story 29:45 Concussions and Brain Timing 31:42 Nutrition Plus Neurofeedback 34:33 Beyond Pharmaceuticals 35:41 Autism Case Breakthrough 37:20 Trauma and Lasting Healing 42:54 Finding Neurofeedback Help 44:18 Home Training and New Tools 45:09 Brain Entrainment and Devices 47:27 Wrap Up and Sleep Priority 49:53 Final Thanks and Outro   If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers explores the seven root causes of inflammation, which are major contributors to chronic conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and autoimmunity. Understanding these underlying factors is essential to addressing inflammation at its source. Dr. Jockers highlights how issues like leaky gut and low stomach acid can trigger systemic inflammation, leading to far-reaching consequences for health.   You'll also learn about the importance of balancing blood sugar to prevent inflammation.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Jeff Hoyt to break down how zeolite works as a powerful binder for heavy metals, glyphosate, and internal toxins. You'll learn how toxic load impacts brain function, mitochondria, and inflammation. They also explore why detox today requires more than just clean food and water.   You'll discover how zeolite's unique cage-like structure and mineral swap mechanism help bind toxins without stripping essential nutrients. Jeff explains the difference between powders, liquids, nanos, and why sourcing and particle size matter. There's also a deep dive into how ammonia and other metabolic wastes silently affect cognitive health.   You'll also learn about the "zeolite dosing paradox" and why higher doses may reduce detox stress more effectively than microdosing.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Jack Wolfson, board-certified cardiologist and founder of Natural Heart Doctor, to challenge everything you think you know about heart disease. You'll discover why the "100-year heart" isn't a myth but a design principle. They unpack how true health is built through eat well, live well, think well — and why testing, not guessing, changes everything.   You'll learn why lowering cholesterol or blood pressure with medication isn't the same as addressing root causes. Dr. Wolfson explains the real role of inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic health, and advanced biomarkers in cardiovascular risk. They also discuss fasting, nutrient-dense ancestral nutrition, and why seafood and organ meats play a powerful role in heart longevity.   You'll also explore overlooked drivers of heart disease, including sleep quality, sunlight exposure, mold toxicity, oral health, nervous system alignment, and mental well-being. The conversation reveals how purpose, community, and emotional resilience directly impact cardiovascular outcomes. This episode reframes heart health as a whole-life strategy, not just a lab number.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction: The Myth of Sudden Health Decline 00:26 Welcome Back: Introducing Dr. Jack Wolfson 00:57 The 100 Year Heart: A Natural Approach to Cardiovascular Health 04:05 Conventional Medicine vs. Natural Health 07:51 The Importance of Lab Testing and Biomarkers 14:07 Optimal Nutrition for Heart Health 19:11 Lifestyle Strategies for Longevity 25:28 The Power of Positive Thinking and Community 29:12 Conclusion: Resources and Final Thoughts   If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.
