| 0:00.0 | You didn't see heart disease a hundred years ago. You didn't see this obesity epidemic a hundred |
| 0:05.9 | years ago. Children, my God, I remember going back, you know, I was born in the 70s. And I remember |
| 0:11.9 | thinking back when I was in elementary school, even in middle school, I don't remember, |
| 0:16.0 | there were like five kids that were overweight. You go to a school now, like you said, you've got 30, 40, |
| 0:21.7 | even 50% of these kids that are obese, that are on medication, that aren't not doing well, |
| 0:27.4 | who have no ability to concentrate and focus and thrive. |
| 0:33.1 | Hello and welcome to the Dr. Jocker functional nutrition podcast, the show designed to give you |
| 0:39.2 | science-based solutions to improve your health and life. I'm Dr. David Jockers, doctor of natural |
| 0:45.7 | medicine, and creator of Dr.jockers.com, and I'm the host of this podcast. I'm here to tell you |
| 0:52.7 | that your body was created to heal itself. And on this |
| 0:55.9 | show, we focus on strategies you can apply today to heal and function at your best. Thanks for |
| 1:02.4 | spending time with me. And let's go into the show. This podcast is sponsored by our friends over at Paleo Valley. |

| 1:21.5 | Most people don't know a whole lot about chlorophyll, but it's what gives plants their green color. |
| 1:28.6 | And it actually takes biophotons from the sun and turns them into energy within the plant. |
| 1:32.2 | Chlorophyll is amazing for our blood purification, detoxification, and mitochondrial health. |
| 1:38.0 | When we consume chlorophyll, it helps our mitochondria produce energy more effectively. It helps our blood flow and blood pressure, function more optimally, and helps oxygenate the deep tissues of our body. So it's really powerful. The problem is it's hard to eat enough plant foods to get enough chlorophyll. And a lot of people really struggle. Their digestive systems |
| 2:01.2 | really struggle to break down a lot of the plant fibers. So one of the best ways to get a clinical |
| 2:06.2 | dose of chlorophyll is through a super greens powder. And that's why I love the organic super |
| 2:12.2 | greens because it's all organic. And on top of that, there's no added sugars in it. They also have a whole bunch of |
| 2:18.5 | other digestive, supportive superfoods. They've got digestive enzymes, ginger, lemon, beet, |
