As it stands today, chronic pain affects more Americans than DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, and CANCER combined. In fact, chronic pain is THE NUMBER ONE reason Americans access the Healthcare system today. However, many people believe their only option for pain relief is found in drugstore options such as Ibuprofen, Advil, and Tylenol (to name a few). Tragically, most people are unaware that these pain meds do more HARM than good. Common side effects include Headaches, Liver and Kidney issues, High Blood Pressure, and in rare cases – even death.

Dr. Wendie Trubow is the author of 'Dirty Girl: Ditch the Toxins, Look Great and Feel FREAKING AMAZING!', and an expert in functional medicine, dealing specifically with toxins, and autoimmunity. She is interviewing Dr. Jockers today on the importance of stimulating autophagy for cellular detox and healing – along with her co-author and co-host, Dr. Edward Levitan. Autophagy is our body's natural way to detox, heal, cleanse, and regenerate. The more we learn about autophagy the more we realize how powerful this physiological process is, as we break down old, damaged cellular organelles (the different structures within a cell that allow them to function), and create new, healthy, stress-resilient organelles. The result is metabolic flexibility, allowing us to burn fat for fuel. And this is key to great health: the healthier our mitochondria, the healthier we are going to be. Cellular healing cellular regeneration is on the table today — let's dive in and discuss! "Eating is a dopamine release. For many of us, right? A lot of the 'not feeling good' as you're going through a fast like that, is not getting the dopamine hit, the feel-good hit, that we get whenever we're consuming food." -Dr. David Jockers Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio In This Episode: Defining autophagy Autophagy's etymology: "self-eating" What is oxidative stress?
