| 0:00.0 | The energy comes from the high protein that's found in spirulina. |
| 0:04.9 | It has the highest concentration of protein in the world and all the proteins already in amino acid form, |
| 0:10.6 | which means your body doesn't have to do anything to break down. |
| 0:15.2 | Hello and welcome to the Dr. Jocker's Functional Nutrition Podcast, |
| 0:19.4 | the show designed to give you science-based |
| 0:22.2 | solutions to improve your health and life. I'm Dr. David Jockers, doctor of natural medicine, |
| 0:28.6 | and creator of Dr.jockers.com, and I'm the host of this podcast. I'm here to tell you that |
| 0:35.1 | your body was created to heal itself. |
| 0:43.5 | And on this show, we focus on strategies you can apply today to heal and function at your best. |
| 0:45.4 | Thanks for spending time with me. |
| 0:47.0 | And let's go into the show. |
| 0:55.5 | This podcast is sponsored by our friends over at Paleo Valley. And I want to tell you about their amazing super greens, organic super greens powder. And the reason why I love super greens is because of |
| 1:01.4 | the chlorophyll content. Most people don't know a whole lot about chlorophyll, but it's what gives |
| 1:07.2 | plants their green color. And it actually takes biophotons from the sun and turns |
| 1:12.3 | them into energy within the plant. Chlorophyll is amazing for our blood purification, |
| 1:17.8 | detoxification, and mitochondrial health. When we consume chlorophyll, it helps our mitochondria |
| 1:24.5 | produce energy more effectively. It helps our blood flow and blood pressure |
| 1:29.3 | function more optimally and helps oxygenate the deep tissues of our body. So it's really powerful. |
| 1:36.2 | The problem is it's hard to eat enough plant foods to get enough chlorophyll. And a lot of people |
| 1:41.7 | really struggle. Their digestive systems really struggle to break down a lot of the plant fibers. So one of the best ways to get a clinical dose of chlorophyll |
| 1:49.2 | is through a super greens powder. And that's why I love the organic super greens because it's all |
| 1:55.5 | organic. And on top of that, there's no added sugars in it. They also have a whole bunch of other digestive, supportive superfoods. |
