Author: Dr. Jockers October 31, 2023 Duration: 56:07

Chronic inflammation is the root cause of so many diseases! This is why Dr. Jockers has brought in an amazingly well-informed guest on the subject, Dr. Jay Davidson, as part of his Chronic Inflammation Summit.

 

Recognized as a leading foundational medicine expert, and known as "The Lyme Guy" for his expertise in natural protocols for Lyme disease and other related chronic illnesses, Dr. Jay Davidson (like Dr. Jockers) is all about seeking holistic solutions for those struggling with chronic illness.

 

Together they're discussing liver issues. What is the function of the liver? How do we detox? What is bile?

Understanding the blood-bile barrier and how 'leaky gut' can cause itchiness and skin rashes is also covered, as are the anti-inflammatory bile acids, UDCA, and TUDCA. 

 

This is honestly one episode of Functional Nutrition that you are absolutely not going to want to miss, as we learn about bio-active carbons and how best to give your liver the love that it needs, from understanding the science to the supplements and herbs we should be putting in our body to support it.

Tune into Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition for conversations that bridge the gap between complex science and practical, daily health choices. Hosted by Dr. David Jockers, a Doctor of Natural Medicine and Functional Nutritionist, this podcast delves into the underlying causes of health challenges rather than just treating symptoms. You’ll hear detailed discussions on metabolic flexibility, the intricacies of gut health, and sustainable methods for reducing systemic inflammation.

Each episode is built on a foundation of evidence, yet presented in a way that feels accessible, whether you're deeply invested in fitness or simply seeking a more vibrant life. The focus here is on providing actionable knowledge-the kind that empowers you to make informed decisions about nutrition and lifestyle. This isn't about quick fixes; it's about understanding how your body works and learning the principles that can help it thrive for the long term.
