BIG NEWS! Dr. Jockers just released his BRAND NEW book on Fasting!
It’s called — Fasting Transformation: A Functional Guide To Burn Fat, Heal Your Body, And Transform Your Life With Intermittent And Extended Fasting.
AND we’re so excited that it’s now available on AMAZON!
We’d love your support (and if you like the book) I know he’d appreciate a review too!
In today’s episode, Dr. Jockers talks about the two, often under-scrutinized hormones that are majorly responsible for fat and weight management – insulin and leptin. He explains why too much sensitivity is bad for one's health and how to keep these hormones in check. He also shares his go-to foods and food ingredients that support blood sugar levels and dial down disruptive sensitivities.
“We need leptin sensitivity if we want to have insulin sensitivity.”
