In this podcast, I go through what happens in your body during a 24 hour fasting period.

What happens inside your body during a 24-hour fast? Our favorite functional nutritionist Dr. Jockers is well-equipped to answer this question as he typically fasts for an entire day once a week.
Your body undergoes a great deal of healing and repair when you do fast, but it’s not something you just dive right into. Metabolic flexibility is a great pursuit. When you stop eating and allow your body’s innate intelligence to go to work without being interfered with by trying to process food, you can begin to see results.
Learn how to divert your body’s energy away from digesting food and towards healing in this highly informative episode of Functional Nutrition.
This episode is also one of Dr. Jockers’ all-time most popular YouTube videos too, proving just how valuable this information is. Please share the show and impact more lives together.
“Another great benefit of ketones is it helps stabilize the glutamate to GABA ratio in our brains.”

Purality 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!
