In This Episode:
In this episode, I interview Dr. Peter Kan and we discuss the connection between the brain, immune system, and the gut or the Brain-Immune-Gut Axis. We discuss how dysfunction in this critical axis can lead to accelerated aging and brain degeneration.
Are you worried about how aging might affect your brain health or immune system? Have you ever wondered how your gut health plays a role in neurodegeneration? Dive into the fascinating world of the brain-immune-gut connection with Dr. Peter Kan in the latest episode of the Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition Podcast.

Understanding Inflammaging
Dr. Kan introduces the concept of “inflammaging,” which is chronic, low-grade inflammation that accelerates aging. He explains how this persistent inflammation can deteriorate brain and gut health, making us more susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases.
Discover how controlling inflammation is crucial for healthy aging and longevity and the best strategies to keep your brain-immune-gut axis healthy and resilient.
The Critical Brain-Immune-Gut Axis
In this episode, we explore the intricate relationship between the brain, immune system, and gut. Dr. Kan breaks down how dysfunction in one area can lead to a cascade of health issues in the others.
By understanding this triad, we can address root causes rather than just symptoms, leading to better health outcomes.
Practical Strategies for Optimal Health
Dr. Kan provides actionable advice on maintaining a healthy brain-immune-gut axis. From dietary adjustments and exercise to specific supplements, learn practical tips you can implement today to improve your overall health and cognitive function.
Exercise and Blood Sugar Stability
Understand why exercise is vital for brain health and how maintaining stable blood sugar levels can protect against neurodegeneration. Dr. Kan discusses the benefits of cardiovascular fitness and resistance training, highlighting their role in enhancing mitochondrial function and reducing oxidative stress.
