In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with longevity researcher and his longtime best friend Dr. Isaac Jones, founder of Elevays, to break down the hallmarks of aging and the 10 most research-backed nutrients for protecting your cells and mitochondria as you age.
You will learn why aging isn't a slow, linear decline but an exponential drop-off driven by a vicious cycle of oxidative stress, fibrosis, microbiome imbalance, and mitochondrial dysfunction, plus why your mindset about how long you'll live shapes the choices that determine your healthspan.
Dr. Jockers and Dr. Isaac also walk through a cutting-edge longevity stack, including 2-HOBA, urolithin A, pomegranate extract, glutathione, NAC, L-carnitine, NR, PQQ, CoQ10, and alpha lipoic acid, and explain how these nutrients work together to repair cell membranes, renew mitochondria, boost NAD+, and clear toxins like PFAS.

As you age, your natural collagen production declines, leading to fine lines and wrinkles, joint pain, dark circles under your eyes, and more. That's why I love the Bone Broth Protein from Paleovalley, made from 100% grass-fed beef bones that are slow-simmered and tested for over 40 pesticides, with 15 grams of collagen protein and a clinical 3.4-gram dose of sleep-supporting glycine in every serving. Go to paleovalley.com/jockers for 15% off 100% grass-fed bone broth protein.
If you're under stress, fasting, eating low-carb, or training hard, you're losing more sodium, potassium, and magnesium than you probably realize, and that can leave you wired, tired, and depleted. That's one of the reasons I use Re-Lyte from Redmond every day, made with unrefined Real Salt, two types of magnesium, and no sugar or artificial ingredients. Go to redmond.life/drjockers and use code JOCKERS for 15% off.
A poor night's sleep drains your energy and mental clarity faster than almost anything else, and finding a way to truly wind down is crucial. That's why I love the infrared sauna blanket from Bon Charge, which heats your body directly at a lower temperature to help relieve stress, soothe sore muscles, sweat out toxins, and boost circulation from the comfort of home, then folds right up into a closet. Go to boncharge.com and use code DRJOCKERS for 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty.
Thicker hair and healthier-looking skin don't have to require appointments or complicated routines. A simple way to get there is clinically backed red light therapy from iRestore, including the Elite helmet with 300 lasers and 200 LEDs to help regrow thicker hair, and the cordless Illumina Face Mask that targets fine lines, breakouts, and dullness in just 10 minutes. Go to irestore.com and use code JOCKERS to save on customer favorites.
Being told "everything looks normal" at your annual checkup doesn't mean you really know what's happening inside your body. That's why I recommend SuperPower, a membership that tests 150+ biomarkers every year across a baseline and a progress test, covering your heart, liver, thyroid, hormones, metabolism, nutrient levels, gut microbiome, and even environmental toxins. Go to superpower.com and use code JOCKERS for $50 off your membership.
