In This Episode:

You’ve heard tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers are healthy—but what if they’re silently working against you?

For up to 25% of people, nightshade vegetables can trigger inflammation, digestive issues, and even weight loss resistance. In this podcast, I do a deep dive into what makes these veggies problematic for some, and how to know if you’re one of them.

Sneaky Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

From joint pain and acid reflux to cold hands, brain fog, and persistent headaches—nightshade sensitivity can look like everyday health complaints.

This episode reveals the telltale signs, what causes them, and how to experiment with removing nightshades for fast results.

What to Eat Instead

The good news? You don’t have to sacrifice flavor or nutrition. Dr. Jockers shares easy nightshade-free swaps (like carrots, beets, and sweet potatoes) that can help you reclaim energy, reduce inflammation, and feel more like yourself again.
