In this episode, Dr. David Jockers dives into the transformative benefits of a seven-day water fast. He explores how fasting balances blood sugar, improves insulin sensitivity, and triggers deep cellular healing, making it a powerful tool for weight loss and overall health.
You'll learn how fasting helps the body burn fat, repair mitochondria, and reset the immune system. Dr. Jockers breaks down the science behind autophagy and mitophagy, showing how your body eliminates damaged cells to replace them with healthier, stress-resistant ones.
