In This Episode:
Is sunshine bad for you? Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? Are cholesterol, salt, and high-protein diets harmful?
The truth might surprise you! In this video, we debunk five common health myths even doctors believe and reveal how to truly care for your health.
Saturated Fat is Healthy!
We’ve all heard the same advice for decades: avoid saturated fat, eat breakfast, use sunscreen, cut salt, and don’t eat too much protein. But what if those “rules” are doing more harm than good?
In this eye-opening episode, Dr. David Jockers reveals the five biggest health myths still being pushed by mainstream medicine—and what the science actually says.
Sunshine, Salt & Skipping Breakfast—The Surprising Truths
Dr. Jockers breaks down why sunshine might be the best medicine, why high-quality salt can boost your energy, and how intermittent fasting could help you burn fat and stabilize your blood sugar.
You’ll also learn why saturated fat and dietary cholesterol aren’t the villains—and why blaming protein for kidney damage is just bad science.
What Your Doctor Didn’t Tell You (But Should Have)
Most doctors mean well—but they’re often misled by outdated nutritional guidelines. This episode peels back the layers of conventional health advice and helps you make better, science-backed choices. If you’ve ever questioned what’s really healthy, this is your moment to find out.
