In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down how to trigger GLP-1, the same satiety hormone mimicked by Ozempic and Wegovy, naturally through food, without weekly injections, nausea, muscle loss, or a $900 to $1,300 monthly price tag.
You will learn how GLP-1 and PYY are produced by the L cells in your gut, why protein and fiber are the key triggers for these hormones, and the seven foods that do this better than anything else: grass-fed red meat, pasture-raised eggs, wild-caught salmon, extra virgin olive oil, avocados, apple cider vinegar, and bitter herbs, plus a bonus fat-burning food, MCT oil.
Dr. Jockers also covers why the order you eat your food matters, a simple pre-meal apple cider vinegar protocol, a meal-building framework and sample day of eating, a realistic timeline of results, and answers to the most common questions about carbs, calorie counting, plant-based diets, and combining this approach with intermittent fasting.

Most protein bars are either loaded with sugar and junk ingredients or taste chalky and artificial, which is why so many "health" bars are really just candy bars in disguise. That's why I love the Superfood Bars from Paleovalley, made with grass-fed beef collagen protein and organic whole foods like kale, broccoli, blueberries, and spirulina, with no artificial sweeteners and flavors like lemon meringue and red velvet that my kids love. Go to paleovalley.com/jockers for 15% off your order.
Most anti-aging skincare only works on the surface signs of aging, not the actual cause. That's why my wife and I love OneSkin, founded by four PhD longevity scientists who tested over 900 peptides to develop OS-01, their proprietary peptide that targets a leading driver of visible skin aging for smoother skin, more even tone, and fewer fine lines. Go to oneskin.co/drjockers and use code DRJOCKERS for 15% off.
If you're under stress, fasting, eating low carb, or training hard, you're likely losing more sodium, potassium, and magnesium than you realize, leaving you wired, tired, and depleted. That's why I drink Re-Lyte from Redmond every day, made with Redmond Real Salt, two forms of magnesium, and no sugar or artificial ingredients, for better energy, mental clarity, strength in the gym, and even sleep. Go to redmond.life/drjockers and use code JOCKERS for 15% off.
Chronic stress and elevated cortisol wear down your body at the cellular level and compromise your immune system. A simple way to fight back is the KSM-66 Ashwagandha from Purality Health, a root-only form wrapped in healthy lipid molecules using nano-absorption technology so you fully absorb its stress-busting compounds. Go to longevityroot.com/drj for a buy one, get one free deal backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee.
If you've been taking collagen for months without seeing results in the mirror, it may be because most cow or fish collagen gets lost in digestion. That's why I'm excited about CollaReplen from Glorious Daily, a vegan collagen builder made from fermented amino acids that match human type 1 collagen, shown in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to reduce wrinkle depth by 32.9% and increase skin hydration by 21% in just eight weeks. Go to gloriousdaily.com/drjockers for up to 50% off, plus a 90-day money-back guarantee.
