In this episode, Dr. Jockers explains why acid reflux is often a low stomach acid problem, not a "too much acid" problem, and how that mismatch leads people to chase symptoms instead of fixing the cause. You'll learn how stress, eating on the go, and poor vagal tone can reduce stomach acid, slow digestion, and create pressure that forces acid up into the esophagus. Dr. Jockers also walks through the most common hidden triggers, H. pylori, hiatal hernia, food sensitivities, histamine intolerance, and SIBO, plus simple ways to start narrowing down what's driving your reflux.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers explores the seven root causes of inflammation, which are major contributors to chronic conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and autoimmunity. Understanding these underlying factors is essential to addressing inflammation at its source. Dr. Jockers highlights how issues like leaky gut and low stomach acid can trigger systemic inflammation, leading to far-reaching consequences for health. You'll also learn about the importance of balancing blood sugar to prevent inflammation. Elevated blood sugar levels create advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which damage tissues and lead to oxidative stress. Dr. Jockers explains how blood sugar imbalances set the stage for inflammation and how you can stabilize it to promote healing. Additionally, the episode dives into the impacts of physical and emotional trauma, toxic load, and circadian rhythm dysfunction on the body's inflammation levels. Dr. Jockers offers practical insights on how to reduce these stressors and better support your body's healing processes, enabling you to restore balance and prevent further health complications.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Jeff Hoyt to break down how zeolite works as a powerful binder for heavy metals, glyphosate, and internal toxins. You'll learn how toxic load impacts brain function, mitochondria, and inflammation. They also explore why detox today requires more than just clean food and water. You'll discover how zeolite's unique cage-like structure and mineral swap mechanism help bind toxins without stripping essential nutrients.

There's also a deep dive into how ammonia and other metabolic wastes silently affect cognitive health. You'll also learn about the "zeolite dosing paradox" and why higher doses may reduce detox stress more effectively than microdosing.
