This episode is sponsored by Paleo Valley and their Organic Supergreens powder, a product I love for its high chlorophyll content, which supports blood purification, detoxification, and mitochondrial health. Packed with digestive-supportive superfoods like ginger, lemon, and beet, it’s free from cereal grasses, making it gentle on the gut, especially for those with chronic inflammation.

I mix a scoop in water daily, usually after lunch, for an energy boost and mental clarity. You can save 15% on any Paleo Valley product, including their Organic Supergreens, by visiting paleovalley.com/jockers

This podcast is sponsored by ShopC60.com. C60 is a powerful, Nobel Prize-winning antioxidant that helps to optimize mitochondrial function, fights inflammation, and neutralizes toxic free radicals!

I’m a big fan of using C60 in conjunction with your keto and intermittent fasting lifestyle to support your immune system, help your body detox, and increase energy and mental clarity.

My favorite C60 products for Keto & IF lifestyles include C60 Purple Power in Organic MCT Coconut Oil (you can add this to your coffee) and their delicious Sugar-Free C60 Gummies (made with allulose and monk fruit)!
