Summary
In this episode, Dr. Jockers reveals how chronic brain inflammation fuels brain fog, anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer’s—and how specific foods can help turn the tide. You’ll hear why wild-caught salmon, pasture-raised eggs, and powerful antioxidants can restore sharper thinking and stronger memory.
You’ll also discover how simple ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, arugula, and tomatoes protect the blood-brain barrier and calm oxidative stress. These everyday foods don’t just nourish your body—they create nutrient synergies that energize your brain on a cellular level.
We explore the surprising impact of colorful fruits, walnuts, and aromatic herbs like rosemary and basil. They not only add flavor but also boost brain-derived neurotrophic factor, fuel circulation, and provide ketones for lasting clarity and protection against cognitive decline.
