    Reverse Skin Aging and Activate Longevity Genes with Clinical Laser Therapy at Home with Lucy Goff

    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Lucy Goff, founder of LYMA, to explore how clinical-grade cold laser therapy, once available only in hospitals and clinics, can now be used at home to reverse skin aging and activate longevity genes.   You will learn why near-infrared laser light penetrates far deeper than LED, why the 808 nanometer wavelength is the most regenerative part of the spectrum, and how this technology rebuilds collagen without damaging your skin, unlike microneedling, radiofrequency, and ablative lasers.   Dr. Jockers and Lucy also break down the independent study showing a six-fold increase in the SIRT1 longevity gene, how to use the device for skin versus deeper tissue, real-world results for scars, rosacea, and sagging skin, and the key safety considerations to know.   "In a clinical study, the Lyma near-infrared laser activated 45 longevity genes in human skin, including a 6 fold increase in the SIRT-1 master longevity gene."     In This Episode 00:00 Meet Lucy Goff of LYMA 00:44 A Business Born by Accident 01:23 Cold Laser's Hospital History 02:20 Shrinking a $40,000 Machine 04:04 Wavelength vs Light Source 06:07 Why 808 Nanometers Matters 08:34 Beauty Tech That Damages Skin 09:50 Damage Makes Disordered Collagen 10:23 Epigenetics and Youth Mode 11:14 The Piano Out of Tune 13:01 Lifting Jowls and the Deep Plane 13:49 Mitochondria as Photoreceptors 14:55 Commissioning the Skin Study 16:44 Laser vs LED in Human Dermis 17:45 SIRT1 Up Six-Fold 19:26 Growth vs Maintenance and Repair 21:50 Dr. Jockers' Four-Week Results 22:33 Gliding vs Holding Technique 25:44 What Users Are Reporting 26:23 Scars, Rosacea and C-Sections 28:30 Skin Longevity in Your Thirties 29:40 Healing a Chickenpox Scar 31:12 Light Is Energy and the Sun 32:57 Earning FDA Home Clearance 33:40 Contraindications and Safety 36:12 How the Patented Lens Works 37:40 Why You Won't Feel It 38:02 Cheap Diodes vs 25,000 Beams 39:54 Professor Clayton's Knee Discovery 42:20 Lucy's Wrinkly Knee Test 43:20 Dosing and Diminishing Returns 44:40 Skin vs Deep Tissue Routine 46:20 GLP-1 and Loose Skin 47:00 Where to Find LYMA 47:40 Look at the Science   Most anti-aging skin devices work by damaging your skin so it repairs itself, but near-infrared laser light can switch your cells back into "youth mode" without harming a single cell. That's why I've been using the LYMA Laser, an FDA-cleared, clinical-grade 808 nm cold laser that reaches deep into the dermis and the ligaments beneath your skin, and it's HSA/FSA eligible.

    The #1 Reason to Use Apple Cider Vinegar

    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers delivers a complete masterclass on apple cider vinegar, explaining how this ancient remedy, used by Hippocrates and Japanese samurai warriors, supports digestion, gut health, blood sugar balance, and fat burning.   You will learn why acetic acid, a postbiotic created during fermentation, is the key compound behind ACV's benefits, from supporting mitochondrial health and strengthening the gut lining to stimulating the vagus nerve so your body can produce stomach acid, bile, and pancreatic enzymes before a meal.   Dr. Jockers also breaks down the latest research, including a 2025 meta-analysis on blood sugar and A1C and a 2024 study on weight loss and cholesterol, and shares the exact dose, dilution, and timing he recommends, how to protect your teeth and esophagus, and the simple ginger root alternative for anyone with histamine intolerance or stomach ulcers.   In This Episode 00:00 Introduction of Apple Cider Vinegar 00:21 ACV: Historical Use & Key Benefits 02:43 How to Use ACV for Digestion & Blood Sugar 04:09 Scientific Evidence for ACV's Blood Sugar Benefits 05:07 Optimal ACV Dosage & Safety Tips 07:08 2024 Study: ACV for Weight Loss & Metabolic Health 08:50 Who Should Avoid ACV? 09:08 Alternatives for Sensitive Individuals     Most anti-aging skincare leans on harsh preservatives and retinol that can leave your skin red, dry, and irritated. That's why I like Pureance, a clean, organic skincare line whose Cellular Restore Serum uses bakuchiol, a gentle plant-based alternative to retinol; in a small focus group, 92.9% of women saw fewer wrinkles after just three weeks. Go to pureance.com and use code JOCKERS for 35% off your order.   Two people can have completely different microbiomes, and completely different diet and supplement needs, even when their symptoms look exactly the same. That's why I recommend Tiny Health, an at-home gut test that uses metagenomic sequencing to show not just which microbes are there but what they're doing, then gives you a personalized diet, lifestyle, and supplement plan based on your results. Go to tinyhealth.com/drjockers for $50 off your first test kit.   "Apple Cider Vinegar stimulates the vagus nerve, which activates a calm, relaxed state, better sleep, improved digestion and fat burning" - Dr. David Jockers     Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio   Resources Visit pureance.com and use code JOCKERS to get 35% off Pureance organic skincare Visit tinyhealth.com/drjockers to get $50 off your first Tiny Health gut test kit   Connect with Dr. Jockers Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/drjockers/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/DrDavidJockers YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/djockers Website – https://drjockers.com/ If you are interested in being a guest on the show, we would love to hear from you!

    The Natural Way to Trigger GLP-1 (Like Ozempic)

    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down how to trigger GLP-1, the same satiety hormone mimicked by Ozempic and Wegovy, naturally through food, without weekly injections, nausea, muscle loss, or a $900 to $1,300 monthly price tag.   You will learn how GLP-1 and PYY are produced by the L cells in your gut, why protein and fiber are the key triggers for these hormones, and the seven foods that do this better than anything else: grass-fed red meat, pasture-raised eggs, wild-caught salmon, extra virgin olive oil, avocados, apple cider vinegar, and bitter herbs, plus a bonus fat-burning food, MCT oil.   Dr. Jockers also covers why the order you eat your food matters, a simple pre-meal apple cider vinegar protocol, a meal-building framework and sample day of eating, a realistic timeline of results, and answers to the most common questions about carbs, calorie counting, plant-based diets, and combining this approach with intermittent fasting.   In This Episode 00:00 - Introduction: Get Ozempic-Like Results Without Injections 00:48 - How Ozempic Works (GLP-1 & PYY Explained) 01:20 - The Problems with Ozempic ($900/Month + Side Effects) 01:49 - The Science: Protein Triggers Natural GLP-1 & PYY 04:01 - Food 1: Grass-Fed Red Meat (CLA & Carnitine) 05:30 - Food 2: Pasture-Raised Eggs (Complete Protein) 06:41 - Food 3: Wild Salmon (Omega-3s & Astaxanthin) 08:11 - Food 4: Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Oleic Acid) 09:28 - Food 5: Avocados (13g Fiber Per Avocado) 10:23 - Food 6: Apple Cider Vinegar (Acetic Acid) 11:22 - Food 7: Bitter Herbs (Arugula, Ginger, Parsley) 13:07 - Bonus Food: MCT Oil (C8 for Ketones) 14:33 - The Secret: Food Order Matters (Protein First) 15:01 - How to Structure Every Meal (Step-by-Step) 16:31 - Pre-Meal Protocol (Apple Cider Vinegar Timing) 16:46 - Timeline of Results (Week 1 to Month 3) 17:48 - Natural Approach vs Ozempic (The Comparison) 18:24 - Simple Meal Framework (Build Any Meal) 19:31 - Sample Day of Eating (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) 20:44 - FAQ: How Long Before Results? 21:25 - FAQ: Vegetarian/Vegan Options 22:03 - FAQ: Can I Eat Carbs? (Timing & Type) 23:18 - FAQ: This vs GLP-1 Drugs 24:11 - FAQ: Combining with Intermittent Fasting 24:47 - Summary & Action Steps   Most protein bars are either loaded with sugar and junk ingredients or taste chalky and artificial, which is why so many "health" bars are really just candy bars in disguise. That's why I love the Superfood Bars from Paleovalley, made with grass-fed beef collagen protein and organic whole foods like kale, broccoli, blueberries, and spirulina, with no artificial sweeteners and flavors like lemon meringue and red velvet that my kids love. Go to paleovalley.com/jockers for 15% off your order.   Most anti-aging skincare only works on the surface signs of aging, not the actual cause. That's why my wife and I love OneSkin, founded by four PhD longevity scientists who tested over 900 peptides to develop OS-01, their proprietary peptide that targets a leading driver of visible skin aging for smoother skin, more even tone, and fewer fine lines. Go to oneskin.co/drjockers and use code DRJOCKERS for 15% off.   If you're under stress, fasting, eating low carb, or training hard, you're likely losing more sodium, potassium, and magnesium than you realize, leaving you wired, tired, and depleted. That's why I drink Re-Lyte from Redmond every day, made with Redmond Real Salt, two forms of magnesium, and no sugar or artificial ingredients, for better energy, mental clarity, strength in the gym, and even sleep. Go to redmond.life/drjockers and use code JOCKERS for 15% off.   Chronic stress and elevated cortisol wear down your body at the cellular level and compromise your immune system. A simple way to fight back is the KSM-66 Ashwagandha from Purality Health, a root-only form wrapped in healthy lipid molecules using nano-absorption technology so you fully absorb its stress-busting compounds. Go to longevityroot.com/drj for a buy one, get one free deal backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee.   If you've been taking collagen for months without seeing results in the mirror, it may be because most cow or fish collagen gets lost in digestion. That's why I'm excited about CollaReplen from Glorious Daily, a vegan collagen builder made from fermented amino acids that match human type 1 collagen, shown in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to reduce wrinkle depth by 32.9% and increase skin hydration by 21% in just eight weeks. Go to gloriousdaily.com/drjockers for up to 50% off, plus a 90-day money-back guarantee.   "Your body knows how to burn fat.

    Using the Protein Sparing Modified Fast to Burn Fat Quickly

    In this solo episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down the protein sparing modified fast (PSMF), a low-calorie, high-protein eating plan that research shows is one of the fastest ways to burn fat while protecting your muscle and bone tissue.   You will learn the exact macronutrient targets for this plan, from protein, net carb, and fat limits to how to split them across two or three meals, plus the best foods to build your plate around and why a multivitamin and electrolytes matter while you follow it.   Dr. Jockers also explains how long to stay on the plan, how the refeeding phase keeps the weight from coming right back, who should avoid this approach entirely, and why it works so well for people looking to lose 10 to 20 pounds quickly.     In This Episode: 00:00 Fastest Way To Burn Fat 01:54 Protein Sparing Modification 03:11 Best Food To Use On Protein Sparing Modified Fast 04:00 Macronutrient Breakdown + Duration 05:50 Refeeding Phase & Sustainable Results 07:00 Who Should Not Do A Protein Sparing Modified Fast 07:43 Benefits Of Protein Sparing Modified Fast     Thin, lifeless hair is often a sign your strands are running low on protein, the same way our muscles lose protein and atrophy as we age. That's why I like HydraLift Volumizing Shampoo from Pureance, which uses wheat protein to strengthen hair from deep within and betaine from sugar beets to draw moisture into your strands for fuller, silkier hair. Go to pureance.com and use code JOCKERS for 35% off your entire order. Most olive oil on supermarket shelves is already stale, stripped of its antioxidants, and sometimes even cut with cheap seed oils like canola and corn oil. That's why I get my olive oil through the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, where TJ Robinson, the Olive Oil Hunter, brings you farm-fresh extra virgin olive oil from small, award-winning family farms, loaded with polyphenols like oleocanthal that offer anti-inflammatory benefits. Go to drjockersoliveoil.com to get a full-size bottle (normally $49) for just $1 shipping.   "Ketosis is a physiological state where there is deep healing that takes place." - Dr. David Jockers   Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio     Resources Visit pureance.com and use code JOCKERS to get 35% off HydraLift Volumizing Shampoo and your entire order Visit drjockersoliveoil.com to get a full-size bottle of fresh-pressed extra virgin olive oil for just $1 shipping Email info@drjockers.com to work with a Dr. Jockers health coach or get help with functional lab testing     Connect with Dr. Jockers Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/drjockers/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/DrDavidJockers YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/djockers Website – https://drjockers.com/ If you are interested in being a guest on the show, we would love to hear from you!

    Quick Vagus Nerve Reset to Destress Your Body

    In this solo episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down the vagus nerve, the longest nerve in your body and the main driver of your rest and digest state, and explains why so many people with anxiety, poor sleep, and digestive issues are really stuck in chronic fight or flight.   You will learn how the ventral and dorsal branches of the vagus nerve shape your calm, stress, and freeze responses, the common signs of poor vagal tone, and four simple at-home tests you can use to check your own vagal tone, from the pupillary light test to your heart rate to breath rate ratio and HRV.   Dr. Jockers also walks you step by step through the Stanley Rosenberg two-minute eye movement reset, five easy daily exercises like humming, gargling, box breathing, and cold exposure, plus the light, sleep, and nutrient strategies that support strong vagal tone for the long haul.   "Humming and deep breathing stimulate your natural "chill out" button, your vagus nerve, which helps put a brake on stress and anxiety." - Dr. David Jockers   Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio     In This Episode: 0:00 Introduction: Stuck in Fight or Flight Mode 0:30 What is the Vagus Nerve & Its Functions 1:41 Ventral Vagal vs Dorsal Vagal States 4:02 Signs of Poor Vagal Tone 4:34 At-Home Tests for Vagal Tone (4 Tests) 7:53 Root Causes of Poor Vagal Tone 8:38 The Stanley Rosenberg 2-Minute Reset Exercise 10:50 5 Vagal Tone Exercises (Humming, Singing, Box Breathing, Cold, Massage) 13:10 Lifestyle Factors (Light Exposure & Sleep) 14:36 Key Nutrients for Vagus Nerve Health 15:15 Pulsetto Technology (Vagus Nerve Stimulator) 17:18 Summary & Final Recommendations     Resources Visit puralityhealth.com and use code JOCKERS40 to get 40% off your order Visit boncharge.com and use code DRJOCKERS to get 15% off site-wide, plus free shipping Try Pulsetto at https://pulsetto.sjv.io/jockers and use code JOCKERS to save     Connect with Dr. Jockers Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/drjockers/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/DrDavidJockers YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/djockers Website – https://drjockers.com/ If you are interested in being a guest on the show, we would love to hear from you!

    Optimizing Hormones for Menopause and Beyond with Dr. Sharon Stills

    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Dr. Sharon Stills, a licensed naturopathic medical doctor with over 25 years of experience and founder of the Lasting Wellness Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, to break down how women can thrive through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.   You will learn why some women sail through this transition while others feel completely wrecked, how Dr. Stills uses bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone (and why the delivery method matters so much), and why she relies on 24-hour wet urine testing instead of dried urine panels. She also explains how to read thyroid labs the right way and the unique symptoms that point to low estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or thyroid.   Dr. Jockers and Dr. Stills also cover the best diet for women in midlife, why sunlight and true darkness are so powerful for your hormones and sleep, the key supplements most women need, the best forms of magnesium, and why skipping meals and chronic dehydration quietly drain your adrenals.   "There's nothing that our hormones don't touch." - Dr. Sharon Stills     Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio     In This Episode 00:00 Hormones and Longevity Preview  00:27 Podcast Intro and Dr. Stills 06:18 What Happens in Perimenopause 08:46 Root Causes of Severe Symptoms 13:49 Why Balance Hormones First 15:09 Best Hormone Delivery Methods 16:56 Why Estriol Matters 29:30 Hormone Symptom Overlap 32:26 Signs of Low Progesterone 33:08 Best Diet for Menopause 39:18 Fixing Your Sleep Routine 42:47 Vagus Nerve Regulation 43:24 Key Supplements for Women 45:56 Fermented Foods and Gut 48:24 Topical Magnesium Benefits 49:07 Best Forms of Magnesium 50:30 Signs of Low Magnesium 56:08 Closing Thoughts   Resources Visit paleovalley.com/drjockers and use code JOCKERS to get 15% off Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein and other products Visit butcherbox.com/drjockers to get $20 off your first box, plus free ribeye, New York strip, or filet mignon in every box for a year and free shipping Visit redmond.life/drjockers and use code JOCKERS to get 15% off Re-Lyte electrolytes Visit gloriousdaily.com/drjockers to get up to 50% off CollaReplen, plus a 90-day money-back guarantee   Connect with Dr. Sharon Stills Website: https://drstills.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsharonstills/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drstills   Connect with Dr. Jockers Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/drjockers/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/DrDavidJockers YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/djockers Website – https://drjockers.com/ If you are interested in being a guest on the show, we would love to hear from you!

    Secret Olive Oil Strategy to Burn Visceral Fat

    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers shares a simple olive oil strategy that helps activate fat burning, switch on autophagy, and target the dangerous visceral fat that surrounds your liver, heart, and pancreas, all without having to labor through a water fast.   You will learn about the three key polyphenols in high-quality extra virgin olive oil (oleuropein, oleocanthal, and hydroxytyrosol), how they flip your master metabolic switch from mTOR to AMPK, and the five major ways to activate autophagy and deep cellular healing.   Dr. Jockers also covers the additional benefits of high-polyphenol olive oil for blood pressure, brain health, pain, blood sugar, and cholesterol, why most olive oil on store shelves is diluted with seed oils, exactly how much to take and when, and the real patient stories behind this strategy.   "Two tablespoons a day of olive oil could be doing more for your body than half the supplements in your cabinet." -Dr. David Jockers   Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio   In This Episode 0:00 - Introduction: The Simple Olive Oil Trick That Changes Everything 1:43 - Major Warning: Most Olive Oil Is Fake or Diluted 2:12 - Carol's Story (Lost 10 Pounds First Month) 2:58 - The 3 Compounds That Activate Fat Burning & Anti-Aging 3:14 - How Olive Oil Hijacks Your Master Metabolic Switch 4:32 - The 5 Ways to Activate Autophagy (Cellular Cleanup) 5:55 - How to Take It: 1 Tablespoon 2X Daily With Meals 6:47 - Additional Health Benefits (Heart, Brain, Pain Relief) 9:07 - How Olive Oil Reduces Visceral Fat 11:11 - Jim's Story (Lost 25 Pounds in 3 Months, Off 5 Meds) 11:45 - What Olive Oil to Get (Fresh Pressed Recommendation) 12:48 - FAQ: Can I Cook With It? 13:38 - FAQ: Is Kirkland Brand Good? 14:08 - FAQ: Can I Take It First Thing in the Morning?   Resources Visit https://pureance.com and get 35% off with code JOCKERS at checkout.

    Do This At Night to Reverse Biological Aging

    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down autophagy, the nightly "self-eating" process your cells use to clear out damaged proteins, worn-out mitochondria, and cellular junk, and explains why it is one of the most powerful levers you have for reversing biological aging.   You will learn what blocks autophagy in the modern world, how a 14 to 18-hour daily fasting window aligned with sunset switches your body from growth mode into repair mode, and why the real secret is cycling between mTOR-driven growth and autophagy-driven cleanup with a feast-famine approach built around protein-rich meals.   Dr. Jockers also lays out his complete autophagy toolkit: the foods and supplements that activate cellular cleanup, how to time fasted workouts, sauna, cold plunge, and red light therapy, how to optimize your sleep for peak growth hormone release, and a weekly 20 to 24-hour fast, plus a realistic timeline of the results you can expect from week one through month twelve.   In This Episode: 00:00 - Introduction 03:20 - Your Body Eats Itself to Stay Young 04:01 - What is Autophagy? (Cellular Self-Eating Explained) 05:28 - What Blocks Autophagy (Modern Diet Problem) 06:33 - Optimal Fasting Protocol (14-18 Hours Daily) 08:13 - mTOR vs Autophagy Balance (Growth vs Cleanup) 09:09 - Feast-Famine Cycling Protocol 11:59 - Autophagy-Activating Foods 17:36 - Top Supplements for Autophagy 18:51 - Exercise Protocol (Cardio vs Resistance Training) 22:00 - Heat & Cold Therapy for Autophagy 25:04 - Sleep Optimization Protocol 30:33 - Weekly 20-24 Hour Fast Protocol 32:50 - Body Parts That Improve with Autophagy 34:20 - Timeline of Results (Week 1 to Month 12) 35:01 - Complete Daily & Weekly Protocol Summary   Hair loss may have less to do with age than you think: Swiss researchers found that thinning hair often comes down to follicles getting stuck after shedding and simply switching off. That's why I like the hair renewal formula from Purality Health, which pairs AnaGain Nu, a pea sprout extract clinically shown to turn those follicles back on, with their micelle liposomal delivery so your body can fully absorb it, all backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee. Go to puralityhealth.com and use code JOCKERS40 for 40% off your order.   Just 3 grams of glycine can help you sleep more deeply by lowering your body temperature and boosting serotonin, the precursor to melatonin, without making you drowsy during the day. That's why I love the Bone Broth Protein from Paleovalley, made by slow-simmering 100% grass-fed beef bones (not hides or skin) and tested for over 40 pesticides, with 15 grams of collagen protein per serving to support your skin, joints, and gut lining. Go to paleovalley.com/drjockers and use code JOCKERS for 15% off your order.   When it comes to recovery, sleep quality matters more than quantity, and body temperature is the number one controllable factor in how well you sleep. A simple way to dial it in is the Orion smart sleep system, which fits right over the mattress you already have and adjusts your bed's temperature through every stage of the night to extend deep sleep, boost REM, and reduce overnight wake-ups, with a 30-night free trial and no mandatory subscription.
