You will learn what's really going on at each stage of a fast, from the first 12 hours of digestive rest all the way through ketone production, autophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and a dramatic spike in growth hormone, plus why your body targets visceral fat and old, damaged proteins before anything else.

Dr. Jockers and Ben also cover how to prepare your body before a long fast, what to eat (and avoid) once you break it, which liquids and supplements actually support a fast, and the specific dopamine and immune system resets that happen at the 48 and 72 hour marks.

The Secret Brain Defenders That Protect Against Dementia & Alzheimer's with Dr David Perlmutter Aug 18, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with neurologist and bestselling author Dr. David Perlmutter to explore microglia, the brain's immune cells, and the role they may play in protecting the brain from cognitive decline. You'll learn what can shift these cells from a supportive state toward one that promotes neuroinflammation.

Discover why your metabolic health and brain health are deeply connected. Dr. Perlmutter explains how blood sugar, insulin resistance, gut health, and chronic inflammation can influence microglial function and why addressing these factors may be important long before memory problems appear.

You'll also hear practical ways to support your brain through exercise, nutrition, sleep, metabolic flexibility, and other daily habits.
