Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition

In this episode of the Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition Podcast, Dr. Jockers welcomes repeat guest Dr. Peter Kan, an expert in integrative and functional medicine, to dive into the symptoms, root causes, and consequences of brain inflammation.

They explore the linkage between gut health and brain function, common symptoms of brain inflammation such as fatigue and brain fog, and the role of the gut-brain and brain-gut axes in overall health. Dr. Kan elaborates on autoimmunity's impact on the brain, the importance of addressing foundational health issues (like blood sugar and oxygenation), and key supplements that can aid in reducing brain inflammation, highlighting Omega-3 fatty acids, glutathione, vitamin D, turmeric, and resveratrol.

The discussion also covers the concepts of neuroplasticity and the importance of lifestyle factors like diet and exercise in maintaining a healthy brain. Dr. Jockers emphasizes the potential for brain healing and improvement in quality of life regardless of the starting point.

“Inflammation is a natural response. It's an immune response that your body uses to either try to get rid of a pathogen or try to clear up cellular debris" - Dr. Jockers
