In this episode, Dr. Jockers uncovers the surprising truth about Stevia and how it impacts blood sugar and insulin. You'll hear the science behind why this natural sweetener may be better than artificial alternatives—and when it could backfire. This is where you'll start questioning what you thought you knew about "safe" sweeteners.
You'll also learn about the long-standing debate over Stevia and infertility, from tribal practices to animal studies that sparked controversy. Dr. Jockers breaks down why the evidence is far from conclusive, and what the FDA still refuses to say. There's more to this story than the headlines reveal.
And if you've ever felt "off" after using Stevia, you'll find out why. Hidden sensitivities, especially in those allergic to ragweed, can completely flip its effects. Understanding how your body personally responds could be the missing key to deciding if Stevia is really right for you.
