In today’s episode, Dr. Jockers is interviewed by a cardiologist, functional medicine practitioner, and author, Dr. Jack Wolfson to talk about heart and brain health. Dr. Jockers shares his personal experience that led him to the study and dedicated practice of intermittent fasting.
He gives an in-depth discussion about the positive effects of fasting on the cardiovascular system as well as on the brain and shares the different fasting strategies to choose from should you decide to try them. If you’re curious about what those positive effects are, and what might for you depending on your condition, tune in to this episode.
“The brain can’t burn fat itself because the fatty acids are too big to cross the blood-brain barrier. So the liver takes fatty acids and converts them into smaller water-soluble byproducts called ketones which cross that blood-brain barrier.”
-Dr. David Jockers

Thank You! for all of the WONDERFUL and clear information. I love all of the FREE and beautiful documents which I return to often. I have developed chronic undiagnosed diarrhea (which could possibly be due to long-time use of Zoloft which I cannot stop taking. I plan to treat this with fasting and cleansing and your information is helping me in many ways. Thank you again and blessings of peace and joy!
Sorry to hear about that! We have some suggestions in this article: https://drjockers.com/diarrhea-causes/
