Q & A on Headaches, Sourdough Bread, Ozempic for Weight Loss, and Varicose Veins

What are some of the key nutrient deficiencies that could be causing your headaches? What does Dr. Jockers think of Ozempic, the weekly injection that helps lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin - and causes weight loss?

You guessed it, it's another insightful Q&A where Dr. Jockers is personally answering questions from the extended Functional Nutrition community. The awesome naturopath Dr. Yvonne Boujaoude joins Dr. Jockers in studio today to help you best navigate your health journey and guide you to success.

Learn why magnesium is so important for getting a good night's sleep and preventing headaches. Find out about why high homocysteine levels may mean you have a vitamin deficiency.

Should you try Ozempic for weight loss, or is there a healthier alternative? Is sourdough bread gluten-free? Is it healthy for you? Will butter or MCT oil in the morning in your coffee break your fast? What causes varicose veins? What are the best strategies for dealing with it?

The answers to these questions - and more - in another jam-packed episode of Functional Nutrition!

When it comes to gut health, bone broth is one of my ‘go to’ items I add to my diet. But, not all collagen is created equal. Many brands use poor-quality bones and heating methods that remove all of the potent benefits of collagen.

That is why I choose to use Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein Powder, you can get all the gut healing benefits without the mess from a company that uses only 100% grass-fed and finished cows and is not processed with high heat or extracted with harmful chemicals.

There are no fillers, flow agents, or added flavors. There is only ONE ingredient in this product and it's bovine bone broth protein. Hurry and grab yours from Paleovalley.com

“Magnesium is to the body what oil is to a car. Meaning that the more we are using our body, and the more stressed we are, the more we are using up magnesium." - Dr. Jockers
