Podcasts about keto metabolic breakthrough

Welcome back to the podcast! In today's powerful episode, Chantel sits down with Dr. David Jockers to dive deep into intermittent fasting, keto, and how both can radically transform your gut, skin, and metabolism. In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Jockers shares his personal journey—from overcoming IBS and fatigue through fasting to healing skin cancer with a ketogenic lifestyle. He explains how fasting isn't just about weight loss—it's a foundational tool for reducing inflammation, restoring gut health, and reversing chronic conditions like psoriasis and eczema. They also explore emotional triggers around food, extended fasting, the gut-skin connection, and how to make fasting sustainable for real-life results. If you're struggling with skin issues, gut problems, or just want more energy and mental clarity, this episode is packed with practical insights and hope for natural healing.

The link between a keto diet and weight loss is very well known, but can this approach to nutrition really be used to heal chronic disease? Dr. David Jockers believes it can. David is functional nutrition counselor, popular guest on The Dr. Oz Show, and the author of Keto Metabolic Breakthrough and The Fasting Transformation. His natural health website receives over a million views per month from people curious about keto and natural health. Tune in to discover: How David used a keto diet plan and intermittent fasting to reverse his own cancer The importance of herbal medicine and other natural health tips How women can use functional nutrition training to work with their natural hormone cycles After suffering from severe irritable bowel syndrome to the point of becoming quite underweight for his height, David began to experiment with adhering to a ketogenic diet. After receiving a skin cancer diagnosis, he got even more serious about tackling the issue of nutrition. The results of these personal experiments not only changed his life; they continue to change the lives of the people he educates every day. What do inexpensive cooking oils, pesticides, and factory farmed meat have in common? They all cause inflammation and inflammation causes chronic diseases, like cancer. According to Dr. Jockers, cancer cells thrive when they are feeding on glucose. When we eat carbohydrates, those carbs are converted into glucose, which feeds cancer cells. Removing carbohydrates and feeding our healthy cells with ketones means starvation for cancer. Cancer is not the only ailment that may need to look out for the keto approach to nutrition. Stress is at an all-time high throughout the world today and it can take a major toll on a person's digestive health. A ketogenic diet in combination with a healthy exercise routine and natural herbal supplementation can promote bile flow and a healthy environment within the stomach, without using commonly prescribed acid bocking medications.   For more information visit https://drjockers.com/  Episode also available on Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/30PvU9C

It's about building muscle tissue; it handles growth and cell reproduction. Kids have a high driving mTOR because their bodies are growing fast. The same goes for pregnant women. We still want activity in the mTOR pathway, mainly because we want to maintain lean body tissue, be resilient, and be fit. Basically, mTOR helps us be strong, healthy, and preserve muscle tissue. However, when mTOR is turned on all the time, now we end up with too much inflammation. Autophagy will help you find balance because it suppresses mTOR.  What Happens When Our Body Gets Rid of A Cell?  When your body gets rid of a cell, it will replace it. It creates new young embryonic cells with more stress resiliency and stronger mitochondria. When we have these senescence cells that are continuing to divide, they create more copies of badly damaged cells. So instead, we want to get rid of those, or we want to repair them before they become a zombie cell. If they've already become zombies, we get rid of them and replace them with these young embryonic stem cells. Why Dr. Jockers Loves Keto  Keto just allows his brain to function at its best; it's really a state of thriving. When ketones are elevated, your body becomes highly energy efficient. He feels more at peace and calmer when he is in ketosis. In ketosis, your brain can function at a higher level, and you can create at a higher level. In human history, when they didn't have food, they needed to become creative, and they needed to be resilient. If we are always well-fed, then we become lazy. Ketones have allowed humanity to survive times of famine, stress, and challenge. Overall, ketosis primes us for optimum health. The Importance of Fasting on Your Health Journey If you can fast for twenty-four hours, that's a sign that you are metabolically fit. Also, that's a sign that you are insulin sensitive, and just about all chronic diseases are related to insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and gut dysbiosis. Fasting also has a powerful effect on enhancing healing of the gut lining and enhancing the microbiome's diversity. 90 to 95% of chronic diseases would be gone if people did a twenty-four-hour fast once a week. We would get rid of more diseases by focusing on nutritional habits and intermittent fasting. Why We Don't Want To Do Keto Forever Keto is a nutrition plan that, in a sense, mimics fasting in that it keeps insulin down. We need higher insulin for short periods to tell the body to produce certain hormones and tell the body to build and grow. We want to replenish our bodies entirely and make the hormones we need to thrive. Sex hormones, for example, and thyroid hormones, depend upon enough insulin to get the right amount of stimulation. Many people, they're already producing too much insulin. Once insulin gets down, we want to elevate it for short periods then drop it down again.

Wasn't absorbing nutrients. Well, even though I was trying to work out, I was trying to eat a lot. You know, I was eating like six meals a day, you know, the personal trainer diet. And that was when I discovered a book called the maker's diet by Jordan Rubin [4'42]  My goal is I'm going to drink this gallon before noon and by drinking continuously like that it's suppressed any sort of hunger and actually felt really energized. Like I felt great, really mentally clear. I performed at my highest level in school. I was top of my class, and I felt great now. I didn't actually get hungry till around, I don't know, two or three o'clock in the afternoon. And then all of a sudden I got ravenous, nobody eats like two meals and like a five-hour eating window, but I had never heard the term intermittent fasting, but that's exactly what I was doing.   [9'58”]  You need a certain amount of insulin, for example, to activate T4 to T3 to activate your thyroid hormone.  You need it to help produce and have free estrogens, free progesterone, and free testosterone. So if you're on a calorie-restricted diet for a long period of time, and especially on a low carb calorie, restricted diet, you are going to suppress the production of these hormones and you're not going to feel good.   [13'21] why do I still weigh the same? But that's also because of miscommunication is. Is wrong between your brain and your fat cells and, the body thinks you're starving. So your body's going to hold on to that. So I'm so glad you brought that up and also glad you brought up, you know, adapting to dietary changes because.Highly neglected in our society   [17'07]  So sometimes for some people, especially if you've noticed in the past that you just don't feel as good eating meat, eating, eating more fats, you might just tighten your amount up. Right? So you might focus on a lot of bitter herbs, parsley, cilantro, drinking ginger tea, and doing ginger radishes, right.   Things like that. That will all be bitter. We say bitter is good for the liver. Right. So bitter really helps stimulate bile flow. So consuming more of those in your day.    [28'26] So I get out and I just ground my body for about five or 10 minutes and that's time to, I just move around.   I pray kind of just really focus on just being grateful, right. And starting my day, with just the right mindset. And while I'm grounded, you know, Ana oil, pulling some stacking, all these colleagues, principles and stretching and. Yeah. So that's typically how I'll start, you know, and then I'll come in, I'll make some herbal tea and, uh, take some supplements and then I'll sit down and read some of the Bible.

Dr. Jockers was a personal trainer in his early twenties. At the time, he was taking in about 5,500 calories a day from six meals, which he thought he had to do to maintain his muscle mass. Then he developed irritable bowel and he lost about 30 pounds over two years.  After reading the book, The Maker’s Diet by Jordan Rubin, he felt inspired to make some changes to his diet. He ended up on a grain-free, low-carb diet with lots of fermented foods and grass-fed meats and got a lot better. He noticed that when he skipped breakfast and drank a lot of water, he felt significantly better, and he started re-gaining muscle mass quickly.  Dr. Jockers has been practicing intermittent fasting for sixteen years now, and it has revolutionized his life! Be sure to stay tuned today to learn more about intermittent fasting, some common fasting mistakes, and some of the lesser-known things you can do with fasting to benefit your health.

There are several key mechanisms of intermittent fasting that can help you build muscle. The benefits of exercising while in a fasted state. The amount of protein you need to consume to build lean muscle. Dr. Jockers explains what he does to amplify the amount of autophagy taking place in his body.

The link between a keto diet and weight loss is very well known, but can this approach to nutrition really be used to heal chronic disease? Dr. David Jockers believes it can. David is functional nutrition counselor, popular guest on The Dr. Oz Show, and the author of Keto Metabolic Breakthrough and The Fasting Transformation. His natural health website receives over a million views per month from people curious about keto and natural health. Tune in to discover: How David used a keto diet plan and intermittent fasting to reverse his own cancer The importance of herbal medicine and other natural health tips How women can use functional nutrition training to work with their natural hormone cycles After suffering from severe irritable bowel syndrome to the point of becoming quite underweight for his height, David began to experiment with adhering to a ketogenic diet. After receiving a skin cancer diagnosis, he got even more serious about tackling the issue of nutrition. The results of these personal experiments not only changed his life; they continue to change the lives of the people he educates every day. What do inexpensive cooking oils, pesticides, and factory farmed meat have in common? They all cause inflammation and inflammation causes chronic diseases, like cancer. According to Dr. Jockers, cancer cells thrive when they are feeding on glucose. When we eat carbohydrates, those carbs are converted into glucose, which feeds cancer cells. Removing carbohydrates and feeding our healthy cells with ketones means starvation for cancer. Cancer is not the only ailment that may need to look out for the keto approach to nutrition. Stress is at an all-time high throughout the world today and it can take a major toll on a person's digestive health. A ketogenic diet in combination with a healthy exercise routine and natural herbal supplementation can promote bile flow and a healthy environment within the stomach, without using commonly prescribed acid bocking medications.   For more information visit https://drjockers.com/

On this episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, David explains how going to bed early and avoiding overstimulation in the evening is one of the easiest things you can do to improve your immune system. In the same vein, David talks about why we actually shouldn't be working on anything other than relaxing after 9 pm.  We talk about why our bodies release more glucose when we're exercising and how this can mimic a rise in blood sugar. But actually, this is a way better way to feed your body the glucose and energy it needs. David shares how the modern American diet is actually very bad for our immune system as it raises the artificial glucose levels in our bodies.  David tells us what we can first thing in the morning to help improve our digestion and ignite that inner fire. He also explains how eating or drinking bitter food can improve our digestion throughout the day. David shares some of his favorite supplements to take for an improved immune system and digestion. He tells us exactly how much Vitamin D3 we should be taking every single day, whether we're spending time in the sun or not, as Vitamin D3 is one of the most vital vitamins our bodies need for optimal health - and it's one that we don't get nearly enough of. David explains how we can become Keto-adapted over a period of weeks which helps avoid that dreaded keto-flu we all fear.

Finally, David gives us some wonderful tips on how we can self-diagnose our stomach issues at home. Not only this, but he also shares a recipe for how to naturally reduce gallstones with his all-natural drink. How are you taking steps to improve your immune system during this health crisis?

That can be a big issue.” (49:58) “Take some activated charcoal. Take 500-1000mL of activated charcoal about 30 minutes before a meal, particularly high-fat meals, and it will get in the gut and sit in the gut. It's like a catcher's mitt, it will grab up excess toxic bile. If we don't get rid of the toxic bile, our body will actually recycle and reuse it. So we actually need to get the bile out through the feces and charcoal will help grab and bind to it.” (55:24)   Resources Mentioned How to beat gallstones naturally with the all-natural bile flush drink!
