Dr. Jockers
About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Jockers reveals the five "healthy" foods that may be doing more harm than good. You’ll learn how smoothies, often thought of as a nutritious choice, can be loaded with sugar and processed ingredients that trigger inflammation.

 

You’ll also discover how granola, which many believe is a health food, can actually spike blood sugar and increase body fat. Dr. Jockers dives deep into the hidden dangers lurking in foods marketed as healthy options.

 

Finally, you’ll hear why many salad dressings contain harmful oils and sugar additives, turning a simple salad into an inflammation-inducing meal. Listen in to find out how to make these foods work for you instead of against you.
