In this episode, Dr. Jockers dives into the benefits of fasting for 8 hours before bed and how it can trigger fat burning and enhance cellular healing. By reducing insulin levels, your body starts utilizing fat as fuel, unlocking the power of autophagy for deeper detoxification and repair.

You'll discover how this fasting window supports mitochondrial function, improving energy production and brain health. Dr. Jockers explains the key role of healthy mitochondria in fat burning, memory, and overall vitality.

Plus, learn how fasting helps reset your gut microbiome, trimming down harmful bacteria and promoting beneficial ones that improve digestion and immune function.
