  How Light Impacts Cellular Health More Than Food (What Doctors Hide) with Dr. Sara Pugh 15.09.2026 1t 5min

  In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Dr. Sara Pugh, who holds a PhD in molecular mechanisms and was the first board-certified quantum biologist, for a conversation about the health input almost nobody is optimizing: light. Quantum biology, as she explains it, is simply looking at health through light, water, and magnetism, with a heavy focus on the mitochondria and the electrons that carry our life force.   You will learn why the specific blend of red, blue, and violet light at sunrise sets your body clocks and switches on hormonal cascades in the pituitary gland, why glass blocks roughly half the red light and all of the grounding benefit, how UVA builds the serotonin you will convert to melatonin later, and when UVB is actually available to make vitamin D from cholesterol. Dr. Pugh and Dr. Jockers also dig into the sunscreen and sunglasses debate, the dietary strategies that build real sun tolerance, and why DHA is a quantum molecule that can turn light into electricity and back again.   From there the conversation turns to Dr. Pugh's nine-day water fast, why she ended it a day early when her leptin came back at 0.7, what refeeding after an extended fast actually requires, and how sauna, cold plunges, and other hormetic stressors build resilience when the dose is right.   In This Episode:  00:00 Flying and Clot Risk 02:38 Meet Dr Sara Pugh 03:27 Quantum Biology Explained 04:49 Why She Got Into It 06:34 Sunrise and Body Clocks 08:29 Sunrise Indoors vs Outdoors 09:57 Morning Ritual and Awe 13:01 Sunset and Sleep Signals 15:07 Evening Light Hygiene Tips 17:24 UVA UVB and Vitamin D 20:44 Sunscreen and Sunglasses Debate 25:15 Dietary Sun Protection 26:38 Omega 3 DHA and EZ Water 29:54 Airplanes Dehydration and Flow 31:42 Structured Water and Fresh Fruit 34:46 Seasonal Eating and Summer Sun 35:22 Muscadines and Gut Fuel 36:23 Fasting Boosts Akkermansia 36:47 Nine Day Fast Experiment 39:30 Low Leptin Explained 44:02 Symptoms and Lab Testing 46:15 Refeeding After Long Fasts 51:30 Sauna for Autophagy 55:37 Cold Face Plunge Benefits 58:45 Hormesis and Cortisol Balance 01:01:37 Carbs Keto and Mitochondria 01:03:52 Wrap Up and Takeaways   Turmeric is one of the most potent natural ways to calm inflammation, shutting down the NF-κB and STAT3 pathways behind so many chronic issues.

  Protein Sparing Modified Fasting for Autophagy & Fat Loss with Vanessa Spina 08.09.2026 1t 7min

  In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Vanessa Spina, sports nutrition specialist, bestselling author of Keto Essentials, creator of the Tone ketone breath analyzer, and host of the Optimal Protein Podcast, for a deep dive on a groundbreaking new study out of the University of Nottingham, published in Clinical Nutrition in August 2025. You will learn why the old "you can only absorb 30 grams of protein per meal" rule doesn't hold up, what really happens to protein you eat beyond that amount, and why the popular anabolic-window advice to slam a shake right after your workout is largely a myth. Dr. Jockers and Vanessa then break down a randomized, controlled fasting-mimicking diet study that overturns the long-held belief that high protein blocks autophagy, and explain why a high-protein, calorie-restricted approach can outperform a low-protein one for visceral fat loss, ketone production, and metabolic health.  They close with a practical, hour-by-hour walkthrough of the protein-sparing modified fast (PSMF): what to eat, how much protein to target, how to structure refeed days, and how it compares to water fasting and Ozempic for appetite control.   In This Episode:  00:00 Protein Absorption Myth 00:14 Episode Intro and Study Teaser 05:29 Meet Vanessa and Study Setup 07:35 100g Protein Study Breakdown 12:17 Protein Timing and Real Life 17:48 Protein First for Satiety 23:55 Ketones and High Protein Keto 28:10 Stress Hormones and Growth Hormone 31:58 Autophagy Study Lead In 33:12 Why Human Trials Matter 34:52 Autophagy Headlines vs Reality 35:54 High Protein FMD Study Setup 39:01 Autophagy Still Upregulated 40:53 Visceral Fat and Metabolic Wins 44:12 PSMF One Day Weekly 44:58 Vanessa PSMF Results 47:22 Meals Macros and Refeeds 51:21 Ketones Hunger and Ozempic 55:27 Weekly Schedule and Whoosh 58:26 PSMF Meal Ideas and Tips 01:04:06 Water Fast vs PSMF 01:05:54 Wrap Up and Where to Find 01:06:56 Final Listener Outro   This podcast is sponsored by Paleo Valley's Turmeric Complex, a whole-food organic turmeric formula (not just isolated curcumin) blended with coconut oil and black pepper for absorption, plus ginger, rosemary, and cloves for extra anti-inflammatory and brain-support benefits.

You will learn exactly what your body is doing at each checkpoint of a fast, from the metabolic switch into fat burning at 14 hours, through the onset of autophagy and BDNF-driven mental clarity, to the dramatic rise in human growth hormone at 24 hours, the gut microbiome shift at 36 hours, and the full immune system rejuvenation that unfolds between 48 and 72 hours.

  #1 Gut Healing Strategy That Gets Rid of Parasites, Gas, Bloating and Constipation 06.08.2026 22min

  In this episode, Dr. Jockers reveals the number one gut-healing strategy that supports a healthier microbiome, reduces gut issues like gas, bloating, parasites, and constipation, and explains why mitochondrial function inside your intestinal cells plays a critical role in healing.   You'll learn how damaged gut function, stress, toxins, poor sleep, and nutrient deficiencies can impact your intestinal environment and create conditions where harmful bacteria can thrive while beneficial bacteria struggle.   Discover how intermittent fasting, proper nutrition, fiber balance, healthy fats, and targeted support like butyric acid and immunoglobulins can help restore gut balance, strengthen the gut barrier, and support long-term healing.
