In this episode, Dr. David Jockers goes solo to break down five of the most common health myths he hears on a regular basis, the ones most people you know believe and are unknowingly putting into practice against their own health.

You will learn why sunshine isn't the enemy your dermatologist made it out to be, why skipping breakfast can be one of the healthiest things you do, why saturated fat and cholesterol aren't driving your heart disease risk, why a low-salt diet might be working against you, and why a high-protein diet isn't damaging your kidneys, plus the real, evidence-backed root causes behind each of these conditions.
