The Brain-Immune-Gut Connection in Aging & Neurodegeneration with Dr. Peter Kan

Are you concerned about how aging might impact your brain health
or immune system? Have you ever wondered how your gut health
plays a role in neurodegeneration? If so, this episode of the Dr.
Jockers Functional Nutrition Podcast is a must-listen. Dr. Peter
Kan, a leading expert in functional medicine, joins us to delve
into the fascinating connection between the brain, immune system,
and gut, and how this triad influences aging and
neurodegenerative diseases.


 


In this episode, we explore the concept of "inflammaging," the
role of mitochondria in maintaining brain health, and practical
strategies you can implement to support your brain-immune-gut
axis for optimal health and longevity. Discover actionable
insights that will help you tackle inflammation, improve
cognitive function, and maintain a healthy immune system as you
age.

Have you heard of Paleovalley's amazing Turmeric Complex? It
contains whole food and organic turmeric instead of just isolated
curcumin. 


 


And we know that organic turmeric is way better, and one of the
best things you can take to shut down inflammation in the body
and support healthy blood flow and blood pressure.


 


 It also includes coconut oil and black pepper as its
ingredients, which has been shown to improve the absorption of
turmeric by 2000%! Plus, there’s also organic ginger, rosemary,
and cloves which synergize with the turmeric to help improve
digestion and blood sugar.


 


Paleovalley's Turmeric Complex also supports joint health, mental
clarity, and improved brain function. You’ve just got to try this
product. Visit paleovalley.com/jockers!
