Why do low-carbers need so much sodium? When insulin levels drop, so does the production of the hormone aldosterone. This triggers a process that makes you LOSE sodium at a rapid rate, causing headaches, low energy, muscle cramps, and insomnia. LMNT Recharge’s low-carb energy drink powders fix the problem so you feel your best!
Dr. Jason Fung joins Dr. Jockers to reveal the secret to life as old as 2,000 years in the past. He’s a Canadian nephrologist, a researcher, a world expert on intermittent fasting, and an author. If you’re looking for an effective way to lose weight and work on your metabolism, then this episode is for you! Here’s an added bonus - Dr. Fung’s fasting strategies are not only effective for losing weight. He also has great news for people suffering from type 2 diabetes - it is NOT incurable, it IS reversible!
“If you don’t eat, you lose weight. Is there anything more basic than that?”
