Dr. Osborne is a doctor of pastoral science, an expert in functional nutrition, and the owner and director of Origins Health Care. He reveals how inflammation has been widely misunderstood and what specific type of inflammation we need to resolve to help the body function at its best. Discover how proper fasting addresses issues with gut inflammation and the 7 strategies that support effective fasting.   “When you fast, you are letting the gut take a vacation. You are allowing the gut to rest so that it can do its job the next day.” -Dr. Peter Osborne    Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio   In This Episode:   - Inflammation sounds awful (and it can be!) but it plays a surprisingly vital role in a healthy body    - What kind of inflammation requires urgent attention and the dire results if you wait too late   - How simply fasting heals a leaky gut and calms chronic inflammation   - Start with seven – Begin fasting TODAY using Peter’s sure-fire strategies (they don’t cost you a dime!)   - The fasting strategy for people happy with their weight but annoyed with slow healing   Resources:   - Pique Tea – Use Code JOCKERS for 5% off   - No Grain, No Pain: A 30-Day Diet for Eliminating the Root Cause of Chronic Pain Paperback    Connect with Dr. Osborne:   - Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/DoctorPeterOsborne/   - YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoiSo5WDJmRxOf2cqgC7DSg?sub_confirmation=1   - Website – https://drpeterosborne.com/   Connect with Dr. Jockers:   - Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/drjockers/   - Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/DrDavidJockers   - YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/djockers   - Website – https://drjockers.com/   - If you are interested in being a guest on the show, we would love to hear from you!
