About this episode
A holiday like Thanksgiving should be a refreshing experience. But often we wake up the day after feeling sick or tired, and often it's because we didn't eat well on that particular day. Thanksgiving Day is a special occasion for Dr. Jockers and his family and over the years he's learned how to balance his healthy eating with getting into the holiday spirit. Today he's sharing the Ten Key Strategies that he employs to make Thanksgiving a real pleasure from a health and wellness perspective. From intermittent fasting on Thanksgiving morning so that you empty out your storage for the sugar you're going to eat later in the day, to advice on how to stimulate cold shock protein, Dr. Jockers is showing us how to eat the turkey stuffing and cranberry sauce with no worries. Let's get our Daily Gratitude Practice underway with this powerful episode of Functional Nutrition that shows us how to give thanks without giving up on our health! Please join us.
