Summary
In this episode, Dr. Jockers reveals the simplest yet most powerful strategy to heal and protect your brain: intermittent fasting. By stabilizing blood sugar and reducing insulin levels, fasting supports mitochondrial health, which is crucial for maintaining brain function and preventing degeneration.
You'll learn how brain degeneration isn't something that happens overnight, but rather a 30–40 year process that starts early, often in childhood. Dr. Jockers explains how poor metabolic health over time can silently damage the brain, leading to conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's.
Finally, discover how intermittent fasting not only supports brain repair but also activates powerful neuroprotective mechanisms, including the production of BDNF, a critical factor for brain regeneration. It's a simple lifestyle shift with profound long-term effects on cognitive health.
In This Episode:
00:00 Introduction to Intermittent Fasting and Brain Health
02:34 The Rise of Brain Degeneration
03:41 Benefits of Intermittent Fasting
09:28 Understanding Neuroinflammation
13:02 Preparing for Intermittent Fasting

| 0:00.0 | One of the big things is when we do intermittent fasting, it brings down insulin levels and it |
| 0:05.4 | stabilizes your blood sugar. |
| 0:07.7 | And that's so critical because we know that brain degeneration, much of it is metabolic, |
| 0:12.6 | meaning that when we have high insulin levels and we have poor blood sugar regulation, that ends |
| 0:17.6 | up causing damage to the mitochondria. |
| 0:20.6 | And our brain is incredibly dense in mitochondria. |
| 0:23.4 | I just want to thank my friends over at bioptimizers for sponsoring this podcast, and if you're over |
| 0:29.8 | 35, your enzyme levels have already begun to decline. Enzymes are the workhorses of digestion. |
| 0:36.9 | They break your food down into usable macro |
| 0:39.0 | and micronutrients. And research shows that by the time someone hits 65, their salivary |
| 0:44.8 | and pancreatic secretions, both of which are involved in enzyme activity, have declined by as much |
| 0:49.9 | as 50%. This decline creates chronic indigestion, setting the stage for gut issues, yeast, and mold |
| 0:57.3 | overgrowth, even malnutrition. That's why I'm such a big fan of enzyme supplementation, |
| 1:03.2 | and the best enzyme I've ever found comes from my friends at bi optimizers. It's called Math Zimes. |
| 1:09.9 | Now, Mass Simes is the most complete, most potent digestive |
| 1:13.6 | enzyme I've ever seen or experienced with 300 to 500% more protease than most popular brands. |
| 1:21.9 | That's crucial because protease metabolizes protein and protein is the most complex macronutrient to break down. |
| 1:31.0 | Left undigested, protein putrefies in the gut and creates a variety of problems, |
| 1:36.3 | from bloating to inflammation and beyond. |
| 1:39.2 | Mass signs not only contains more protease, but it also contains 13 additional enzymes, including lipase |
| 1:47.0 | for fat digestion. And you can try it today risk-free. Buy optimizers 365-day, full money-back |
