In This Episode:
Are you missing out on one of the most essential minerals for your health? Zinc deficiency is more common than you think and could be the hidden cause behind fatigue, weak immunity, and hormonal imbalances.
It’s not just about eating “healthy.” You could be doing everything right—clean diet, regular exercise, supplements—and still feel off. The hidden culprit? Zinc deficiency.
In this episode, Dr. David Jockers uncovers the seven most overlooked warning signs of low zinc levels, from white spots on your nails to unexplained fatigue, mood swings, and even premature gray hair. If you’ve been struggling with low energy, brain fog, or weak immunity, this might be the missing piece.
Why Zinc Deficiency Is More Common Than You Think
Up to 80% of people may have suboptimal zinc levels—and most don’t even know it. Dr. Jockers breaks down why your diet, stress, copper exposure, and even low stomach acid can silently sabotage your zinc absorption.
You’ll also learn the best forms of zinc to take, how to time your supplements for maximum absorption, and how to test your levels properly.
Don’t Wait for Symptoms to Get Worse
Zinc plays a vital role in your immune system, hormone balance, brain function, and DNA repair. This episode will open your eyes to why this unassuming mineral is essential for vibrant health—and what to do if you’re running low.
