How can we use intermittent fasting as well as exercise and nutrition strategies to optimize our brain health and prevent dementia and Alzheimer's Disease? To help answer that question, Dr. Jockers has sought the help of Dr. Heather Sandison, a renowned naturopathic doctor who has dedicated her career to helping those suffering from dementia. Keeping your brain sharp at any age is possible. Dr. Sandison is here to shatter those (and other) misconceptions we might have about our brain health. Clinical research has shown that good sleep, regular exercise, and intermittent fasting can all reduce the risk of dementia. There are also some great book resources that Dr. Sandison shares, as well as thoughts on cognitive exercise and how to deal with toxic air pollution in your immediate environment. The solution to pollution is dilution! Please join us on this highly impactful episode of Functional Nutrition. And if you know of someone suffering from deteriorating mental clarity, this episode could change their life – so sharing is caring! Please join us.

When it comes to gut health, bone broth is one of my 'go to' items I add to my diet. But, not all collagen is created equal. Many brands use poor-quality bones and heating methods that remove all of the potent benefits of collagen. That is why I choose to use Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein Powder, you can get all the gut healing benefits without the mess from a company that uses only 100% grass-fed and finished cows and is not processed with high heat or extracted with harmful chemicals. There are no fillers, flow agents, or added flavors. There is only ONE ingredient in this product and it's bovine bone broth protein.
