    Reverse Skin Aging and Activate Longevity Genes with Clinical Laser Therapy at Home with Lucy Goff

    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Lucy Goff, founder of LYMA, to explore how clinical-grade cold laser therapy, once available only in hospitals and clinics, can now be used at home to reverse skin aging and activate longevity genes.

    You will learn why near-infrared laser light penetrates far deeper than LED, why the 808 nanometer wavelength is the most regenerative part of the spectrum, and how this technology rebuilds collagen without damaging your skin, unlike microneedling, radiofrequency, and ablative lasers.

    Dr. Jockers and Lucy also break down the independent study showing a six-fold increase in the SIRT1 longevity gene, how to use the device for skin versus deeper tissue, real-world results for scars, rosacea, and sagging skin, and the key safety considerations to know.

    "In a clinical study, the Lyma near-infrared laser activated 45 longevity genes in human skin, including a 6 fold increase in the SIRT-1 master longevity gene."

    The #1 Reason to Use Apple Cider Vinegar

    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers delivers a complete masterclass on apple cider vinegar, explaining how this ancient remedy, used by Hippocrates and Japanese samurai warriors, supports digestion, gut health, blood sugar balance, and fat burning.

    You will learn why acetic acid, a postbiotic created during fermentation, is the key compound behind ACV's benefits, from supporting mitochondrial health and strengthening the gut lining to stimulating the vagus nerve so your body can produce stomach acid, bile, and pancreatic enzymes before a meal.

    Dr. Jockers also breaks down the latest research, including a 2025 meta-analysis on blood sugar and A1C and a 2024 study on weight loss and cholesterol, and shares the exact dose, dilution, and timing he recommends, how to protect your teeth and esophagus, and the simple ginger root alternative for anyone with histamine intolerance or stomach ulcers.

    In This Episode

    00:00 Introduction of Apple Cider Vinegar

    00:21 ACV: Historical Use & Key Benefits

    02:43 How to Use ACV for Digestion & Blood Sugar

    04:09 Scientific Evidence for ACV's Blood Sugar Benefits

    05:07 Optimal ACV Dosage & Safety Tips

    07:08 2024 Study: ACV for Weight Loss & Metabolic Health

    08:50 Who Should Avoid ACV?

    09:08 Alternatives for Sensitive Individuals

    Most anti-aging skincare leans on harsh preservatives and retinol that can leave your skin red, dry, and irritated. That's why I like Pureance, a clean, organic skincare line whose Cellular Restore Serum uses bakuchiol, a gentle plant-based alternative to retinol; in a small focus group, 92.9% of women saw fewer wrinkles after just three weeks. Go to pureance.com and use code JOCKERS for 35% off your order.

    Two people can have completely different microbiomes, and completely different diet and supplement needs, even when their symptoms look exactly the same. That's why I recommend Tiny Health, an at-home gut test that uses metagenomic sequencing to show not just which microbes are there but what they're doing, then gives you a personalized diet, lifestyle, and supplement plan based on your results. Go to tinyhealth.com/drjockers for $50 off your first test kit.

    The Natural Way to Trigger GLP-1 (Like Ozempic)

    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.

    24:11 - FAQ: Combining with Intermittent Fasting

    24:47 - Summary & Action Steps

    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.

    Using the Protein Sparing Modified Fast to Burn Fat Quickly

    In this solo episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down the protein sparing modified fast (PSMF), a low-calorie, high-protein eating plan that research shows is one of the fastest ways to burn fat while protecting your muscle and bone tissue.

    You will learn the exact macronutrient targets for this plan, from protein, net carb, and fat limits to how to split them across two or three meals, plus the best foods to build your plate around and why a multivitamin and electrolytes matter while you follow it.

    Dr. Jockers also explains how long to stay on the plan, how the refeeding phase keeps the weight from coming right back, who should avoid this approach entirely, and why it works so well for people looking to lose 10 to 20 pounds quickly.

    Thin, lifeless hair is often a sign your strands are running low on protein, the same way our muscles lose protein and atrophy as we age. That's why I like HydraLift Volumizing Shampoo from Pureance, which uses wheat protein to strengthen hair from deep within and betaine from sugar beets to draw moisture into your strands for fuller, silkier hair. Go to pureance.com and use code JOCKERS for 35% off your entire order.

    Most olive oil on supermarket shelves is already stale, stripped of its antioxidants, and sometimes even cut with cheap seed oils like canola and corn oil. That's why I get my olive oil through the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, where TJ Robinson, the Olive Oil Hunter, brings you farm-fresh extra virgin olive oil from small, award-winning family farms, loaded with polyphenols like oleocanthal that offer anti-inflammatory benefits. Go to drjockersoliveoil.com to get a full-size bottle (normally $49) for just $1 shipping.

    Quick Vagus Nerve Reset to Destress Your Body

    In this solo episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down the vagus nerve, the longest nerve in your body and the main driver of your rest and digest state, and explains why so many people with anxiety, poor sleep, and digestive issues are really stuck in chronic fight or flight.

    You will learn how the ventral and dorsal branches of the vagus nerve shape your calm, stress, and freeze responses, the common signs of poor vagal tone, and four simple at-home tests you can use to check your own vagal tone, from the pupillary light test to your heart rate to breath rate ratio and HRV.

    Dr. Jockers also walks you step by step through the Stanley Rosenberg two-minute eye movement reset, five easy daily exercises like humming, gargling, box breathing, and cold exposure, plus the light, sleep, and nutrient strategies that support strong vagal tone for the long haul.

    "Humming and deep breathing stimulate your natural "chill out" button, your vagus nerve, which helps put a brake on stress and anxiety." - Dr. David Jockers

    Optimizing Hormones for Menopause and Beyond with Dr. Sharon Stills

    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Dr. Sharon Stills, a licensed naturopathic medical doctor with over 25 years of experience and founder of the Lasting Wellness Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, to break down how women can thrive through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

    You will learn why some women sail through this transition while others feel completely wrecked, how Dr. Stills uses bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone (and why the delivery method matters so much), and why she relies on 24-hour wet urine testing instead of dried urine panels. She also explains how to read thyroid labs the right way and the unique symptoms that point to low estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or thyroid.

    Dr. Jockers and Dr. Stills also cover the best diet for women in midlife, why sunlight and true darkness are so powerful for your hormones and sleep, the key supplements most women need, the best forms of magnesium, and why skipping meals and chronic dehydration quietly drain your adrenals.

    Secret Olive Oil Strategy to Burn Visceral Fat

    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers shares a simple olive oil strategy that helps activate fat burning, switch on autophagy, and target the dangerous visceral fat that surrounds your liver, heart, and pancreas, all without having to labor through a water fast.

    You will learn about the three key polyphenols in high-quality extra virgin olive oil (oleuropein, oleocanthal, and hydroxytyrosol), how they flip your master metabolic switch from mTOR to AMPK, and the five major ways to activate autophagy and deep cellular healing.

    Dr. Jockers also covers the additional benefits of high-polyphenol olive oil for blood pressure, brain health, pain, blood sugar, and cholesterol, why most olive oil on store shelves is diluted with seed oils, exactly how much to take and when, and the real patient stories behind this strategy.

    "Two tablespoons a day of olive oil could be doing more for your body than half the supplements in your cabinet."

    Do This At Night to Reverse Biological Aging

    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down autophagy, the nightly "self-eating" process your cells use to clear out damaged proteins, worn-out mitochondria, and cellular junk, and explains why it is one of the most powerful levers you have for reversing biological aging.

    You will learn what blocks autophagy in the modern world, how a 14 to 18-hour daily fasting window aligned with sunset switches your body from growth mode into repair mode, and why the real secret is cycling between mTOR-driven growth and autophagy-driven cleanup with a feast-famine approach built around protein-rich meals.

    Dr. Jockers also lays out his complete autophagy toolkit: the foods and supplements that activate cellular cleanup, how to time fasted workouts, sauna, cold plunge, and red light therapy, how to optimize your sleep for peak growth hormone release, and a weekly 20 to 24-hour fast, plus a realistic timeline of the results you can expect from week one through month twelve.

    In This Episode:

    00:00 - Introduction

    03:20 - Your Body Eats Itself to Stay Young

    04:01 - What is Autophagy? (Cellular Self-Eating Explained)

    35:01 - Complete Daily & Weekly Protocol Summary

    Hair loss may have less to do with age than you think: Swiss researchers found that thinning hair often comes down to follicles getting stuck after shedding and simply switching off. That's why I like the hair renewal formula from Purality Health, which pairs AnaGain Nu, a pea sprout extract clinically shown to turn those follicles back on, with their micelle liposomal delivery so your body can fully absorb it, all backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee. Go to puralityhealth.com and use code JOCKERS40 for 40% off your order.

    Just 3 grams of glycine can help you sleep more deeply by lowering your body temperature and boosting serotonin, the precursor to melatonin, without making you drowsy during the day. That's why I love the Bone Broth Protein from Paleovalley, made by slow-simmering 100% grass-fed beef bones (not hides or skin) and tested for over 40 pesticides, with 15 grams of collagen protein per serving to support your skin, joints, and gut lining. Go to paleovalley.com/drjockers and use code JOCKERS for 15% off your order.

    When it comes to recovery, sleep quality matters more than quantity, and body temperature is the number one controllable factor in how well you sleep. A simple way to dial it in is the Orion smart sleep system, which fits right over the mattress you already have and adjusts your bed's temperature through every stage of the night to extend deep sleep, boost REM, and reduce overnight wake-ups, with a 30-night free trial and no mandatory subscription. Go to orionsleep.com/drjockers for 15% off.

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

    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.

    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.

    Go to branchbasics.com and use code DRJOCKERS for 15% off the Premium Starter Kit.

    This One Meal Unblocks Your Arteries Fast

    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.

    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!)

    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.

    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.
