Today’s guest on the show is Dr. Rodger Murphee, and he’s talking with Dr. Jockers about balancing our brain chemistry for optimal health. Dr. Rodger Murphee is a board-certified chiropractic physician and nutritional specialist. His “Murphree Method,” a combination of functional and orthomolecular medicine, has helped thousands of patients get healthy and feel good again.

Things like ADHD, anxiety, brain fog, and depression are often best treated with orthomolecular medicine. What is that, exactly? It’s a form of medicine that uses vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids — the building blocks of brain chemicals — to address the underlying causes of mood disorders and mental clarity issues. 

Dr. Murphee is sharing a ‘brain function’ questionnaire that will help you uncover and shore up any deficiencies contributing to mood and mental clarity challenges. If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, this highly informative interview could be just what you need to unlock the key to more optimal well-being. If mainstream medicine has let you down in the past, this one’s for you for a healthy future.

“Glutamate is the gas engine in the brain, while GABA acts as the brakes.  You need proper balance to feel calm and peaceful and to get restorative sleep.”

-Dr. Rodger Murphee

Curcumin Gold

Are your joints painful? Do you suffer from daily discomfort? As it stands today, chronic pain affects more Americans than DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, and CANCER combined.

In fact, chronic pain is THE NUMBER ONE reason Americans access the Healthcare system today. However, many people believe their only option for pain relief is found in drugstore options such as Ibuprofen, Advil, and Tylenol (to name a few). Tragically, most people are unaware that these pain meds do more HARM than good. Common side effects include Headaches, Liver and Kidney issues, High Blood Pressure, and in rare cases – even death. Not to mention, they are just masking your pain… Giving you temporary relief…

While this may sound all doom and gloom, I do have good news… There is an all-natural solution that addresses the root cause of your discomfort… A REAL solution that allows you to get back to being YOU!

And that solution is called Curcumin Gold made by my friends at Purality Health. Curcumin Gold contains Turmeric Curcumin Extract, Vegan Omega-3s, & Ginger Oil. These carefully selected ingredients support healthy joint function and address the root cause of inflammation within your body. Trust me when I say you won’t find anything else on the market quite like this. In fact, my 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!

Even better, it’s backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee. And today, we have a 30% OFF coupon for you! Visit puralityhealth.com and use the coupon “DRJ” to access 30% OFF today!
