Dr. Jockers
About this episode

Today's episode is sponsored by Paleovalley Turmeric Complex. Turmeric is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties, but did you know it has also been shown to support cellular health, workout recovery, joint health, and brain function? And not all turmeric is created equal, which is why I always choose Paleovalley Turmeric Complex. Paleovalley uses whole food turmeric and adds coconut oil and black pepper to help with the absorption of turmeric by 2,000%. Visit http://paleovalley.com/and use code JOCKERS for 15% off.

 

Today’s episode is also proudly sponsored by Lifeboost Coffee. They provide premium, low acid, healthy coffee that is easy on your gut and 3rd party tested for mycotoxins, molds, heavy metals, plus 450+ toxins. It's a staple in my household. Hurry and grab your first order for 50% off here: www.LifeboostDeal.com.  Why do low-carbs need so much sodium? When insulin levels drop, so does the production of the hormone aldosterone. This triggers a process that makes you LOSE sodium at a rapid rate, causing headaches, low energy, muscle cramps, and insomnia. LMNT Recharge’s low-carb energy drink powders fix the problem so you feel your best!

 

Food has a direct impact on our health. Whether it’s a positive or a negative impact relies hugely on the kind of foods we are consuming day by day. Dr. Stephan Van Vliet joins Dr. Jockers in today’s episode to talk about his work which focuses on the effects of phytonutrients derived from beef on human metabolism. He also tackles how food, coupled with physical exercise, helps in battling chronic inflammation. Tune in to learn more about the findings from his studies and research.

 

“The bioactive compounds in milk were enhancing the most anabolic response. Most of the anabolic response is typically predicted by the amino acid profile which turns out when you start ingesting whole foods."
