Summary
In this episode, Dr. Jockers explains how drinking apple cider vinegar before bed strengthens your intestinal mitochondria, setting up a healthier gut ecosystem while you sleep. This simple habit supports fat burning and improves metabolic health.
You'll learn how acetic acid promotes mitophagy, breaking down damaged mitochondria and replacing them with stronger, more efficient ones. This process reduces inflammation and enhances cellular function overnight.
Dr. Jockers also dives into how improving gut function at night leads to better sleep, balanced blood sugar, and a resilient intestinal lining. These changes help you wake up feeling more refreshed, energized, and healthier.
