In this episode, Dr. David Jockers reveals how fasting can help heal your gut lining by reducing mechanical stress, allowing your body to regenerate faster. He explains how a 24-hour fast can trigger intestinal stem cell production, leading to healthier gut cells.
You'll learn how intermittent fasting reduces inflammation throughout the body and balances the immune system, boosting the body's ability to fight chronic conditions. Dr. Jockers shares the science behind fasting's role in regulating T-cells and inflammatory cytokines.
Finally, Dr. Jockers dives into how fasting enhances gut microbiome diversity, which is essential for reducing autoimmunity. By supporting the production of beneficial bacteria like Akkermansia, fasting helps strengthen the gut mucosa and supports immune function.
