Fasting for the Mind, Body, and Soul with Dr. David Jockers

<p><strong>BRIEF DESCRIPTION:</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On this week’s episode of the Girlfriend Doctor Podcast, we had a wonderful conversation with Dr. David Jockers. David is a natural health doctor, functional nutritionist, author, and certified strength and conditioning specialist. We dive into many topics regarding the benefits of intermittent fasting, strategies to adapt to eating less, knowing your “Why”, and much more.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m sure that you’ve probably heard or seen something regarding the benefits of fasting but in this conversation, we discuss the details on how to ease into a fasting routine without causing getting burnt out too quickly. Food is just as addicting, if not more, than any substance out there, so we should be more careful on what we are ingesting into our bodies and at what time. Dr. Jockers also details how he does a 24-hour fast once a week and how blood sugar and insulin levels impact sex drive and hormones.</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are literally what we consume, and if we constantly eat foods that are not good for our body, we transmute that low energy into our daily lives. We go in depth on the importance of fasting but if you would like to really go deep-sea diving into the topic, make sure to purchase Dr. Jocker’s book,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Fasting Transformation</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. And while you’re at it, purchase his other books that will help you improve your physical, mental, and emotional body!</span></p> <p><strong>KEY TAKEAWAYS (with timestamps): </strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">[5:28] How Dr. Jockers got through the pandemic</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">[14:07] Finding your WHY</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">[18:04] The many benefits of fasting</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">[23:24]
