In this video, I go over the surprising truth about warm lemon water and how you can use this to improve your energy, digestion and more.
Think lemon water is just a trendy wellness tip? Think again. In this eye-opening episode of the Functional Nutrition Podcast, Dr. David Jockers reveals the deep science behind why this simple drink could be your body’s best-kept secret for energy, digestion, and cellular health.
The Real Reason Your Morning Needs Lemon Water
From activating your vagus nerve to boosting oxygen delivery in your tissues, lemon water does far more than hydrate. You’ll learn how vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids power your cells, improve blood flow, and even help your skin glow from the inside out.
Add Salt, Improve Stress, and Supercharge Fasting
Did you know a pinch of salt can make your lemon water even more effective? Dr. Jockers explains how this one tweak can calm cortisol spikes, support electrolyte balance, and help with histamine sensitivity—all while making fasting easier and more sustainable.
