The HIDDEN TOXINS in Your Home (And How to Clean Them Out) with Allison Evans Oct 20, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Allison Evans, co-founder of Branch Basics, to uncover the hidden toxins lurking in the average home and the simple swaps that lower your family's toxic load. Allison shares how she was diagnosed with the "worst case of PCOS" her doctor had ever seen, then went on to heal and conceive four children naturally after removing toxic chemicals from her life.

You will learn why the EPA says indoor air is two to five times more toxic than outdoor air, why inhaled chemicals like VOCs can be even more damaging than toxins in food, and how synthetic fragrances act as obesogens, carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, asthmagens, and neurotoxins that signal your body to store fat.

Dr. Jockers and Allison also cover the power of removal over replacement, why disinfectants and "greenwashed" natural products can still work against you, how pesticides target the brain, and the easiest places to start, from laundry and dish soap to a single all-purpose concentrate.

56:10 A Message of Hope

Everyday cleaning sprays, laundry detergents, and air fresheners often contain synthetic fragrance compounds, phthalates, and harsh surfactants that can mimic or interfere with your body's natural hormones. That's why my family uses Branch Basics for pretty much all our cleaning needs: human-safe, plant- and mineral-based cleaners made without fragrance or hormone disruptors, all starting from one concentrate you mix with water for your kitchen, bathroom, windows, and laundry.

"95% of the chemicals in fragrances are synthetic compounds from petroleum that drive up inflammation and increase the risk of birth defects, cancer and autoimmune conditions. "

This One Meal Unblocks Your Arteries Fast Oct 16, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down his favorite meal for unblocking your arteries fast, the arterial repair meal, and explains how each micro and macronutrient on the plate works to calm inflammation, protect your arterial lining, and help reduce plaque.

You will learn why arteries don't clog from cholesterol but from inflammation, what actually damages the arterial wall in the first place, and how foods like arugula, cucumbers, tomatoes, wild-caught salmon, high-polyphenol olive oil, lemon, Mediterranean herbs, and grass-fed cheese each target a different mechanism, from nitric oxide production to calcium regulation with vitamin K2.

Dr. Jockers also shares a gut-healing yogurt parfait dessert with collagen, pomegranate, and berries, the common habits quietly destroying your arteries, a simple action plan with the labs to track, what results to expect from week one through month six, and answers to the most common questions about cholesterol, statins, and dietary fat.

In This Episode:

22:55 Common Questions Answered

If you're tired of thin, lifeless hair or cringe at every clump in the shower drain, your hair may be missing protein, which it loses with age just like your muscles do. That's why I love the Hydralift Volumizing Shampoo from Purancé, made with wheat protein to strengthen follicles from deep within and betaine from sugar beets to draw moisture into each strand for fuller, silky-soft hair. Go to purance.com and use code JOCKERS for 35% off your entire order.

A real detox isn't a $300 juice cleanse or a laxative tea in pretty packaging; your liver, gut, circulation, and sleep just need support to catch up on the cleanup they're already trying to do. That's why I like the 2-Day Detox from Qualia, four formulas timed across your day (morning, meals, empty stomach, and sleep) so you're done in 48 hours with no juice-only days and no skipped meals. Go to qualialife.com/drjockers for 50% off, and use code DRJOCKERS for an additional 15% off your order.

Optimizing your mineral levels is one of the most overlooked aspects of wellness, and it could be the missing piece for steadier energy and productivity. A simple way to fill that gap is the Advanced Set from Beam Minerals, liquid electrolytes and Micro Boost made with plant-based humic and fulvic mineral complexes that taste like water, absorb easily, and won't break your fast. Go to beamminerals.com/drjockers and use code DRJOCKERS for 20% off your first order.

The Real Reason Your Teeth Are Yellow (And How to Fix It Naturally!) Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers explains why yellow teeth are rarely about your coffee or your brushing, and why he sees them as a metabolic signal tied to your salivary pH, which reflects your gut, liver, and metabolic health.

You will learn the six internal triggers dentists rarely address, including acid reflux, liver congestion, gut dysbiosis, mineral deficiencies, chronic dehydration, and inflammation, plus how whitening strips and bleach weaken your enamel, increase porosity, and set you up for rebound staining.

Dr. Jockers also shares his natural whitening protocol: baking soda and activated charcoal once a week, daily coconut oil pulling, and the foods that support salivary pH and remineralization, along with the foods to avoid, how to use apple cider vinegar and mineral-rich water, a seven-day challenge, and answers to common questions on sensitive teeth, genetics, coffee stains, and xylitol gum.

In This Episode:

22:29 Q&A Common Concerns

25:06 Final Summary Sendoff

Hair loss often has less to do with your age than with hair follicles that get switched off and stuck before they can return to the growing phase. That's where Hair Renewal from Purality Health comes in, featuring AnaGain Nu, a compound extracted from pea sprouts by Swiss researchers and clinically studied for stimulating hair follicle cells, with a Micelle Liposomal formula to help your body absorb it. Go to puralityhealth.com and use code JOCKERS40 for 40% off, backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee.

A lot of skincare looks good on paper but never really delivers, or it sells you on needing 10 different products to have an effective routine. That's why OneSkin stands out: it was founded by longevity researchers and built around the OS-01 peptide, which is designed to target the damaged senescent cells behind visible skin aging and is backed by four peer-reviewed clinical studies. Go to oneskin.co/drjockers and use code DRJOCKERS for 15% off.

"If your whitening routine keeps failing, it's because you're treating the symptom and not the source."

Top 10 Nutrients for Cellular Health and Longevity with Dr. Isaac Jones Oct 13, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with longevity researcher and his longtime best friend Dr. Isaac Jones, founder of Elevays, to break down the hallmarks of aging and the 10 most research-backed nutrients for protecting your cells and mitochondria as you age.

You will learn why aging isn't a slow, linear decline but an exponential drop-off driven by a vicious cycle of oxidative stress, fibrosis, microbiome imbalance, and mitochondrial dysfunction, plus why your mindset about how long you'll live shapes the choices that determine your healthspan.

Dr. Jockers and Dr. Isaac also walk through a cutting-edge longevity stack, including 2-HOBA, urolithin A, pomegranate extract, glutathione, NAC, L-carnitine, NR, PQQ, CoQ10, and alpha lipoic acid, and explain how these nutrients work together to repair cell membranes, renew mitochondria, boost NAD+, and clear toxins like PFAS.

In This Episode:

00:00 Microbiome and Aging Teaser 00:25 Longevity Goals and Hallmarks 03:27 Meet Dr Isaac Jones 04:34 Healthspan vs Lifespan Reality 07:12 Aging as Exponential Decline 08:27 Hallmarks and Vicious Cycles 10:32 Oxidative Stress and Fibrosis 13:11 Microbiome and Mitochondria Loop 16:34 Lifestyle Foundation Before Supplements 17:28 Mindset and Longevity Targets 21:10 Key Nutrients 2 HOBAMINE 23:56 Seed Oils and Mito Membranes 25:09 Urolithin A for Mitophagy 27:17 Urolithin A Explained 29:29 Mitophagy and Cost 31:47 Glutathione Detox Basics 32:42 PFAs and Toxic Exposure 34:33 NAC and Antioxidant Synergy 36:06 Longevity Stack Ingredients 36:25 NR and NAD Energy 41:55 PQQ and CoQ10 Boost 43:14 Alpha Lipoic Detox Support 44:17 Beadlet Tech and Savings 48:53 How to Take the Stack 49:24 Personalized Supplement Future 50:10 Final Thanks and Wrap

As you age, your natural collagen production declines, leading to fine lines and wrinkles, joint pain, dark circles under your eyes, and more. That's why I love the Bone Broth Protein from Paleovalley, made from 100% grass-fed beef bones that are slow-simmered and tested for over 40 pesticides, with 15 grams of collagen protein and a clinical 3.4-gram dose of sleep-supporting glycine in every serving. Go to paleovalley.com/jockers for 15% off 100% grass-fed bone broth protein.

If you're under stress, fasting, eating low-carb, or training hard, you're losing more sodium, potassium, and magnesium than you probably realize, and that can leave you wired, tired, and depleted. That's one of the reasons I use Re-Lyte from Redmond every day, made with unrefined Real Salt, two types of magnesium, and no sugar or artificial ingredients. Go to redmond.life/drjockers and use code JOCKERS for 15% off.

A poor night's sleep drains your energy and mental clarity faster than almost anything else, and finding a way to truly wind down is crucial. That's why I love the infrared sauna blanket from Bon Charge, which heats your body directly at a lower temperature to help relieve stress, soothe sore muscles, sweat out toxins, and boost circulation from the comfort of home, then folds right up into a closet. Go to boncharge.com and use code DRJOCKERS for 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty.

Thicker hair and healthier-looking skin don't have to require appointments or complicated routines. A simple way to get there is clinically backed red light therapy from iRestore, including the Elite helmet with 300 lasers and 200 LEDs to help regrow thicker hair, and the cordless Illumina Face Mask that targets fine lines, breakouts, and dullness in just 10 minutes. Go to irestore.com and use code JOCKERS to save on customer favorites.

Being told "everything looks normal" at your annual checkup doesn't mean you really know what's happening inside your body. That's why I recommend SuperPower, a membership that tests 150+ biomarkers every year across a baseline and a progress test, covering your heart, liver, thyroid, hormones, metabolism, nutrient levels, gut microbiome, and even environmental toxins. Go to superpower.com and use code JOCKERS for $50 off your membership.

Red Light Therapy: The Secret to Ending Joint Pain & Inflammation Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down the science of red and infrared light therapy for joint pain and inflammation, and shares how he used it daily to recover from a completely torn distal bicep tendon without surgery.

You will learn how red and infrared wavelengths power up your mitochondria, boost nitric oxide and circulation, and calm inflammatory signaling, plus what the research shows for osteoarthritis, neck and back pain, tendon injuries, and fibromyalgia.

Dr. Jockers also covers the practical protocol: the best wavelengths, how close to get to a panel, how long and how often to use it, the best time of day, eye safety, and why he recommends a targeted, wearable device like the Kineon MOVE+ Pro when a specific joint is screaming at you.

The Entire Food Pyramid Was WRONG (and RFK Jr Fixed It!) Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down why the food pyramid most of us learned in school was wrong, and how the newly released pyramid reverses more than 50 years of mainstream nutrition advice by dropping the grain-based foundation and the low-fat obsession.

You will learn what Dr. Jockers calls the real food pyramid: protein and healthy fats at the base, fasting and no snacking between meals to keep insulin low, non-starchy vegetables above that, and fruit and starchy vegetables as an optional lever for energy and performance. He also explains why he recommends removing grains, processed sugar, and seed oils.

Dr. Jockers also shares the story of his patient Phil, who lost 50 pounds in four months after making these changes, and answers the most common questions about the new pyramid, including why doctors promoted the old one, whether fiber is essential, why seed oils are a problem now, and whether a high-fat diet is dangerous for the heart.

In This Episode:

00:00 Seed Oils Health Risks 00:23 Welcome and Episode Setup 04:42 Old Pyramid Failed Us 04:58 Phil Story and Bad Advice 06:33 New Pyramid Quietly Flips 07:29 Real Food Pyramid Basics 08:01 Fasting No Snacking Rules 09:42 Cut Grains Sugar Seed Oils 10:23 Phil Results and Proof 12:27 System Designed to Profit 12:56 Q&A Doctors and Money 13:46 Grandparents Bread Myth 14:56 Fiber and Food Sources 15:35 Why Seed Oils Are New 16:18 Why Agencies Won't Admit 16:58 Is High Fat Dangerous 17:45 Take Action and Closing 18:14 Final Podcast Outro

The Mineral Reset for Cellular Energy, Hormones, Brain and Detox with Caroline Alan Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Caroline Alan, "The Mineral Geek," co-founder and CEO of Beam Minerals and author of The Mineral Reset, for a deep dive into why minerals are the foundation of cellular energy, hormones, brain function, and detox.

You will learn what minerals actually do inside your cells, the surprising signs of mineral deficiency, from anxiety and poor sleep to brain fog and nighttime leg cramps, and why depleted soils, filtered water, and glyphosate make it nearly impossible to get enough from food alone.

Dr. Jockers and Caroline also cover the difference between humic and fulvic substances, why megadosing single minerals can throw your body out of balance, how to start slowly if you are sensitive to detox, and how these plant-based mineral complexes support your mitochondria and gut microbiome.

As you age, your natural collagen production declines, and that shows up as fine lines and wrinkles, joint pain, and dark circles under your eyes. That's why I love the Bone Broth Protein from Paleovalley, made from 100% grass-fed beef bones that are slow-simmered to deliver 15 grams of collagen protein and 3.4 grams of sleep-supporting glycine in every serving. Go to paleovalley.com/jockers for 15% off your order.

Optimizing your mineral levels is one of the most overlooked aspects of wellness, and it could be the missing piece for your energy and productivity. That's why I take a half capful of Electrolyze and Micro Boost from Beam Minerals every morning: plant-based humic and fulvic mineral complexes that taste like water, absorb easily, and won't break your fast. Go to beamminerals.com/DRJOCKERS and use code DRJOCKERS for 20% off your first order.

Two people can have completely different gut microbiomes, and completely different diet and supplement needs, even when their symptoms look the same. That's why it's important to test and not guess with the at-home gut health test from Tiny Health, which uses metagenomic sequencing to reveal signs of inflammation, leaky gut, and imbalances, then gives you a personalized action plan. Go to tinyhealth.com/drjockers for $50 off your first at-home test kit.

The 12 Minute Morning Ritual to Look a Decade Younger Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers walks you through his simple 12-minute morning ritual designed to reawaken your body's natural production of nitric oxide, the powerful signaling molecule he calls your body's "youth signal."

You will learn why nitric oxide drops by as much as 60% by age 40, and the exact four-step routine to restore it: oil pulling with grounding, gratitude, and morning sunshine, a lemon and sea salt super hydration drink, a three-minute nasal breathing movement sequence, and a two-minute anti-wrinkle facial massage.

Dr. Jockers also shares two bonus anti-aging tricks, sprinting and red light therapy, explains how to track your results, and answers the most common questions about safety, timing, age, and combining the ritual with sauna and cold exposure.

In This Episode:

00:00 Nasal Breathing Nitric Oxide 00:20 Morning Ritual Overview 02:58 Nitric Oxide Anti Aging 05:37 Step One Detox Reset 07:41 Step Two Super Hydration 09:14 Step Three Movement Boost 10:47 Step Four Facial Massage 13:18 Track Results Science 15:50 Bonus Sprinting Red Light 18:05 Common Questions Safety 21:02 Final 12 Minute Recap 21:58 Podcast Wrap Up

Just like your muscles, your hair loses protein as you age, leaving strands thin, dry, and brittle. That's where HydraLift Volumizing Shampoo from Pureance comes in, with wheat protein to strengthen your follicles from deep within and betaine from sugar beets to draw moisture into every strand for fuller, silky-soft hair. Go to pureance.com and use code JOCKERS for 35% off your entire order.

If you're under stress, fasting, eating low-carb, or training hard, you're likely losing more sodium, potassium, and magnesium than you realize, which can leave you wired, tired, and depleted. That's why I drink Re-Lyte from Redmond every day; it's made with Redmond Real Salt, an ancient, unrefined sea salt full of trace minerals, plus two forms of magnesium and no sugar or artificial ingredients. Go to redmond.life/doctorjockers and use code JOCKERS for 15% off.

7 WARNING Signs of a Zinc Deficiency (Hair, Nails, Hormones, Immune) Oct 01, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down the surprising warning signs of a zinc deficiency, a problem that affects an estimated 25% of the world's population, and likely far more since so few people ever get tested.

You will learn what zinc actually does in your body, from powering the zinc finger proteins that support healthy DNA expression to producing superoxide dismutase (SOD) and stopping viral replication, plus the key symptoms that show up when you run low: loss of taste and smell, brain fog and mood issues, thyroid problems, hair loss and premature graying, low libido, white spots on your nails, and frequent infections.

Dr. Jockers also covers the hidden root causes that drain your zinc, including blood sugar swings, low stomach acid, excess copper and heavy metals, chronic stress, and common medications, along with the ideal zinc-to-copper ratio on labs, how much zinc to supplement, the best food sources, and his favorite form of zinc.

Glutathione is your body's master antioxidant, protecting your cells from oxidative stress and supporting your natural detoxification pathways, but the way you take it really matters. That's why I was so intrigued by the glutathione spray from Purality Health: you simply spray it on your tongue, it tastes great, and it's formulated with their advanced delivery technology plus added vitamin C. Go to masterantioxidant.com/drj for a buy one, get one free special, backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee.

Too many people walk out of their annual checkup being told everything is fine, while early warning signs quietly go unnoticed. That's why I recommend SuperPower, a membership that tests 150+ biomarkers every year across a baseline and a progress test, covering your heart, liver, thyroid, hormones, metabolism, vitamin and mineral levels, gut microbiome, and even environmental toxins. Go to superpower.com and use code JOCKERS for $50 off your SuperPower membership.

"If you're dealing with an autoimmune or chronic inflammatory condition, you really have to look at your zinc levels."

Solving Lyme Disease, Alzheimer's, Autoimmune and Chronic Fatigue with Dr. Richard Horowitz Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Dr. Richard Horowitz, integrative medicine pioneer, creator of the MSIDS model, and author of the new book Ending Chronic Illness, to talk about solving the toughest chronic illnesses, from Lyme disease and Alzheimer's to autoimmune conditions and chronic fatigue.

You will learn about Dr. Horowitz's groundbreaking case study in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease Reports, where a nine-week oral dapsone combination protocol fully reversed the Alzheimer's biomarker p-tau 217, plus why Lyme is called "the great imitator" and how the three Bs (Borrelia, Babesia, and Bartonella), mold toxins, and POTS are driving so much of today's chronic illness.

Dr. Jockers and Dr. Horowitz also cover the six rivers of inflammation and the 16-point MSIDS model, the daily supplements Dr. Horowitz takes to block key inflammatory pathways, how to start with highly sensitive patients, gut healing and H. pylori strategies, and why trauma, limbic retraining, and vagal retraining can be the missing piece in recovery.

Nearly every benefit of turmeric comes down to its ability to encourage a healthy inflammatory response, and research shows whole food turmeric can be even more powerful than isolated curcumin, with nearly 300 beneficial compounds. That's why I love the Turmeric Complex from Paleovalley, which pairs organic turmeric with coconut oil and black pepper to boost absorption by up to 2,000%, plus organic ginger, rosemary, and cloves for added brain, digestive, immune, and blood sugar support. Go to paleovalley.com/jockers for 15% off your order.

Red light therapy is one of the simplest ways to support your skin's texture, tone, and elasticity, and you can start to see a difference with just 10 minutes on most days. The red light face mask from Bon Charge uses optimal wavelengths of red and near-infrared light, works for all skin types, and is lightweight, cordless, and contoured to your face, so it fits easily into your routine at home or while traveling. Some Bon Charge products are also HSA/FSA eligible for tax-free savings of up to 30%. Go to boncharge.com and use promo code DRJOCKERS for 15% off, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty.

Two people can have completely different microbiomes, and completely different needs, even when their symptoms look the same, which is why it pays to test rather than guess. An at-home gut test from Tiny Health uses metagenomic sequencing to analyze your full gut ecosystem, revealing signs of inflammation, leaky gut, and imbalances, then gives you a personalized action plan for diet, lifestyle, and supplements. Go to tinyhealth.com/drjockers for $50 off your first at-home test kit.

Inflammaging, the chronic low-grade inflammation that accelerates aging, often shows up first in your skin as puffiness, fine lines, and wrinkles. A simple way to fight back is the Frankincense Castor Oil roll-on from Holistic Goddess, which combines organic castor oil and organic frankincense to deeply moisturize and soften the look of fine lines, with a cooling rose quartz roller that feels great around puffy eyes. It's USDA organic, cold pressed, hexane free, and third-party tested. Go to holisticgoddess.com and use code DRJOCKERS for free shipping.
