You will also understand terms like autophagy and how our body breaks down unneeded or damaged components within a cell and reuses them as the building blocks for cellular repair or the formation of new cells.

“Ketones tell the Mitochondria to do something called uncoupling, which is almost of a wasting of energy producing heat. And that process drives down inflammation, oxidative stress throughout our entire body.” ~ Dr. David Jockers

Purality Health

Today’s sponsor is Purality Health. Are hidden toxins and stressors making you feel run down and tired? Are you worried about oxidative stress from exposure to EMF, 5G, heavy metals, chemicals, and processed foods? Toxic is the new normal in our modern world.

Toxins in our body take on the role of free radicals, causing oxidative damage on a cellular level that can lead to premature aging and a lower quality of life. One of the most powerful antioxidants known to man is glutathione. It fights free radicals while repairing DNA. However, not all glutathione supplements are created equal. If you’re taking it in capsule or tablet form, you’re missing out on key nutrients that will pass through your body without being absorbed.

Purality Health has a patented formula that utilizes Micelle Liposomal technology which delivers the glutathione nutrients into your bloodstream, which has been proven to be 800% more efficient. Backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee, you can find them at puralityhealth.com and use the coupon code ‘DRJ’ to get a 30% discount coupon.

Paleovalley Bone Broth

When it comes to gut health, bone broth is one of my go-to items I add to my diet. But, not all collagen is created equal. Many brands use poor-quality bones and heating methods that remove all of the potent benefits of collagen.

And that is why I choose to use Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein Powder, you can get all the gut healing benefits without the mess from a company that uses only 100% grass-fed and finished cows and is not processed with high heat or extracted with harmful chemicals.

There are no fillers, flow agents or added flavors. There is only ONE ingredient in this product and its bovine bone broth protein. That’s it. Hurry and grab yours from Paleovalley.com/jockers to save 15% off today!
