In This Episode:
Autophagy happens when your body recycles and gets rid of old or excess cells (like fat) that don’t serve a purpose or benefit your health. The major drivers of autophagy are cellular stressors such as nutrient deprivation brought on from various mechanisms including fasting, exercise, and significant temperature change.
The Nobel Prize in 2016 was awarded to the Japanese researcher Yoshinori Ohsumi for his breakthrough work in helping us understand the process of autophagy and how it works. In this video, you will discover why autophagy is such an important concept and how to structure your life to optimize its benefits in your life.

Autophagy (“self-eating”) is a favorite topic of Dr. Jockers and it happens when your body recycles and gets rid of old or excess cells (like fat) that don’t serve a purpose or benefit your health. Today Dr. Jockers is explaining why autophagy is such an important concept and how to structure your life to optimize its benefits in your life.
The major drivers of autophagy are cellular stressors such as nutrient deprivation brought on by various mechanisms including fasting, exercise, and significant temperature change. He’s showing us how to improve metabolic flexibility and fast-track deep cellular healing in this powerful episode of Functional Nutrition.
“Autophagy is the way our body naturally gets rid of damaged proteins, senescent mitochondria and viral infected cells and uses the materials to create new, stress resilient cellular components.”
~ Dr. Jockers

Our brains rely on SO many compounds found in nature. These include vitamins and minerals, but also things like polysaccharides, flavonoids, amino acids, carotenoids, folates, enzymes, and so, so much more. But how many of these are you actually getting?
Due to modern farming practices, environmental pollution, and the continued loss of nutrients in our foods, most people aren’t taking in nearly enough of what their brains need.
If you’re experiencing cognition problems like memory loss or brain fog, then chances are you too are missing out on a lot of these important compounds.
