Dr. Jockers finds himself in the hot seat again! This time he’s being interviewed by Season Johnson of the ‘Thrive Through Cancer’ podcast. Their conversation covers intermittent and extended fasting (and what’s actually happening in our bodies while we’re doing that), how that can impact cancer growth in our body, and how fasting can enhance other cancer-related therapies.

As usual, Dr. Jockers is willing to share all of his knowledge to help you heal and function at your best, offering science-based solutions to improve your health and life. And in this case, fight cancer! This is a great episode to check out for anyone who’s concerned about cancer – or has a friend or family member going through it. 

Season Johnson is the founder of the ‘Kick Cancer’ movement, a functional nutrition therapy practitioner herself, and a ‘cancer mama’ (who went from having one child diagnosed with cancer to helping thousands all over the world). She asks Dr. Jockers all the right questions and we can consider ourselves blessed to be able to listen in on their conversation and reap the rewards of feeling more emboldened in the ways in which we can tackle ‘the big C’. Please join us.

“Fasting has been shown to make cancer cells weaker and more susceptible to conventional treatments such as chemo and radiation with less side effects from these therapies.”

Purality Health Vitamin C

If you’ve tried collagen for aging skin and haven’t gotten the results you want… It’s because most collagen is missing a critical ingredient. And without this “missing link,” collagen WILL NOT WORK. With this “missing link” you can turn loose, saggy skin –– into tight, glowing, younger-looking skin!

So what is that missing link I am talking about? VITAMIN C.

Of course, you may know Vitamin C as a powerful immune-boosting nutrient…

But did you know Vitamin C is a critical nutrient for anti-aging? You see, Vitamin C it’s the “glue” that holds collagen together in your body. And if you’re low in Vitamin C, well all of that collagen you’re taking is pointless.

And here’s the thing, not all Vitamin C supplements are created equal…

If you’re taking Vitamin C in capsule or tablet form, you are missing out on key nutrients as they will simply pass through your body without being absorbed (you can thank your stomach acid for that).

However, our friends over at Purality Health have a patented formula that utilizes something called ‘MICELLE LIPOSOMAL’ technology which delivers the nutrients into your bloodstream – proven to be 800% more efficient!

So, if your skin is looking older than you… And the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sagging skin, and otherwise “old-looking” skin frustrates you…

Give Purality Health’s Micelle Liposomal Vitamin C a try! It’s backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee. And today, we have a 30% OFF coupon for you! Just visit puralityhealth.com and use the coupon DRJ to access 30% OFF your purchase today!

  1. Do you have a link to the study which you mentioned in this broadcast #303, regarding patients who fasted for 13 hours had a 39% less recurrence of breast cancer. I was wondering if this study took into account the patient’s BMI as well. Thank you.
