Our brains rely on SO many compounds found in nature. These include vitamins and minerals, but also things like polysaccharides, flavonoids, amino acids, carotenoids, folates, enzymes, and so, so much more. But how many of these are you actually getting?

 

Due to modern farming practices, environmental pollution, and the continued loss of nutrients in our foods, most people aren't taking in nearly enough of what their brains need.

 

If you're experiencing cognition problems like memory loss or brain fog, then chances are you too are missing out on a lot of these important compounds.

 

The good news? Medicinal mushrooms contain ALL of these compounds and more!

This is why our friends over at Purality Health have infused five of the most nutritious medicinal mushrooms with their MICELLE LIPOSOMAL formula to create Mushroom Mindboost.

 

Purality Health's patented formula allows these rare, highly beneficial mushroom compounds to be safely shuttled directly into your bloodstream. The result is clearer thinking, improved memory retention, and feeling as spry as your young self again!

 

The best part? Mushroom Mindboost tastes just like chocolate syrup, but without the sugar or artificial sweeteners! And today, we have a 30% OFF coupon for you! Just visit puralityhealth.com and use the coupon DRJ to access 30% OFF your purchase today!

For anyone looking to ignite their fat-burning metabolism, boost their energy, and transform how they look and feel, they must start taking care of their liver. Your liver is your body's master detoxifier. It performs over 500 key functions in your body every single day. After decades of wear and tear, our livers slow down and become sluggish. Fortunately, there's a simple, all-natural solution that I recommend. It's called Liver Health Formula.

 

Liver Health Formula contains 12 powerful botanicals clinically proven to recharge and protect your liver at the cellular level. It helps restore your liver's detoxifying abilities.

Autophagy ("self-eating") is a favorite topic of Dr. Jockers and it happens when your body recycles and gets rid of old or excess cells (like fat) that don't serve a purpose or benefit your health. Today Dr. Jockers is explaining why autophagy is such an important concept and how to structure your life to optimize its benefits in your life.

 

The Nobel Prize in 2016 was awarded to the Japanese researcher Yoshinori Ohsumi for his breakthrough work in helping us understand the process of autophagy and how it works. Dr. Jockers was already rocking out to fasting in his younger days as a medical student – and it's still a health strategy he swears by!

 

The major drivers of autophagy are cellular stressors such as nutrient deprivation brought on by various mechanisms including fasting, exercise, and significant temperature change. He's showing us how to improve metabolic flexibility and fast-track deep cellular healing in this powerful episode of Functional Nutrition.

 

"Autophagy actually means 'self-eating' and I know that sounds, you know, pretty interesting right there. But basically, this is what our body does: this is a natural, self-recycling process that our body undergoes. And it's absolutely critical for reducing your risk of chronic disease – and really thriving in life."

-Dr. Jockers
