Some of today’s topics include:
A new study is saying that when you choose to go to sleep matters. Melatonin is what helps put you to sleep and it turns out that the greatest amount is secreted between 10 pm and 2 am. Dr. Martin says it’s reason enough to stop being a night owl and go to sleep!
Dr. Martin also answers questions about B12 in today’s shortened episode!
Dr. Martin looks at a 6-year study on the importance of B12 and homocysteine in relation to heart disease. The study is showing that inflammation and high homocysteine levels are more significant factors than cholesterol.
When you are low in vitamin B12 there are a whole host of symptoms you can encounter, and according to this study, high levels of homocysteine is one of them.
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode to learn why homocysteine plays a role in heart disease.
It was Ancel Keys who first presented the theory that cholesterol causes heart disease. His theory turned LDL cholesterol into the bad guy and went on to become the common belief since the mid-1950s.
Statin drugs do what they say they do and lower LDL cholesterol, but Dr. Martin asks why you’d want to do that? Cholesterol is essential to our body’s functioning and it turns out that lowering your LDL comes with consequences.
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode to learn the long-term effects of using statin drugs to lower LDL cholesterol.

There’s a new study out showing that being insulin resistant increases your chances of kidney failure by 50%, even when fasting glucose is normal. This is a significant finding and Dr. Martin says it’s another reason why you want to avoid fructose.
Dr. Martin also shares a new report saying that kids now consume on average 126 grams of sugar a day! Join us in today’s episode.
There isn’t a day that goes by that Dr. Martin doesn’t talk about vitamin D, the sun. Today is no different as he discusses two new studies on vitamin D. The first on reducing length of hospital stays, the second about lowering breast cancer risk.
Join Dr. Martin as he looks at two new studies on the sun, showing once again why vitamin D is essential, and especially as we head into the winter months!
It was 1972 when President Nixon declared a war on cancer. Dr. Martin remembers it well. Since then, it is estimated that the United States has spent over 15 trillion dollars on cancer, and we’re not winning the war!
What bothers Dr. Martin most is that very little of that money has been spent on prevention. It’s all spent on treatment in the form of chemo, radiation, surgery and lab work. Nutrition seems to be the last thing on the mind of medicine when it comes to a cancer diagnosis.
Join Dr. Martin as he shares the article he read in today’s episode!

Some of today’s topics include:
You may have heard about “the blue zones,” a concept that people living in these areas live longer because of their diet and lifestyle. Dr. Martin challenges the entire premise using the example of Hong Kong versus India.
Dr. Martin also criticizes a recent Harvard study linking high meat consumption to diabetes. The questionnaire style study is misleading and is often bought and paid for. Dr. Martin further explains in today’s episode.
Rarely does a week go by that Dr. Martin isn’t asked for his recommendation on dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Over the years, through his clinical experience, Dr. Martin developed a protocol for treating cancer from a natural perspective.
The most recent discovery was that high levels of DHA can destroy a tumor in 14 days. Now, researchers have found that curcumin has the ability to shut off blood flow to tumors. This is amazing news!
Join Dr. Martin as he shares his protocol for treating cancer, and why DHA and curcumin are now a part of it.
Have you ever looked at the nutrition label on a carton of milk? If you have, you may have been surprised by how much sugar is in a cup of milk, and especially in 1% skim milk.
Join Dr. Martin as he compares the nutrition labels on 35% whipped cream and 1% skim milk. He explains what happened that so many people fell for the lie that fat makes you fat, and that fat free options are healthier options.
Research is showing that high fructose corn syrup can cause a double whammo when it comes to declining levels of vitamin D in our bodies. To break down fructose, the body produces an enzyme which in turn breaks down vitamin D, and this enzyme also weakens the other enzymes needed to create vitamin D.
Dr. Martin says no matter how you look at it, consumption of high fructose corn syrup will negatively affect your levels of vitamin D. It’s no wonder that deficiency of vitamin D is now associated with all-cause mortality!
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode to learn the significance of this new research.

The seeds of disease are anything that causes inflammation within our bodies. At the Martin Clinic, we’ve always taught that insulin resistance, leaky gut, and oxidative damage are the 3 main seeds of disease.
Now there’s new studies out saying that deficiencies in vitamin D and vitamin B12 can also cause inflammation. Dr. Martin further explains the significance of these discoveries in today’s episode!
Dr. Martin shares some new studies on Parkinson's in today’s episode. All of the studies have to do with the microbiome and specifically the gut-brain axis.
Research on the microbiome is some of the most exciting research that’s been done in the last several years. The more they study the microbiome, the more they are studying bacteria. And the more they study bacteria, the more they’re seeing how fungus in the brain plays a huge role in Parkinson’s disease.
Join Dr. Martin to learn how healing your gut can actually help protect your brain!
Dr. Martin looks at new studies on the benefits of omega-3 DHA in today’s episode.
You get two sources of omega-3 from the animal kingdom. EPA is good, but Dr. Martin says DHA is best. It’s the best oil in the world and new studies are showing how it benefits you from your brain to your toes.
When it comes to belly fat, it is often associated with a slew of other underlying conditions. Dr. Martin always viewed belly fat as a symptom of a bigger problem, and it almost always had to do with hormonal balances in both men and women.
Join Dr. Martin as he shares the underlying conditions that go along with belly fat in today’s episode!

One thing that prescription drugs almost always have in common is that they disrupt the microbiome. If you’re taking prescription drugs,there’s a pretty good chance you have leaky gut.
An alarming trend has been the recent off-label use of diabetes medications like Ozempic for weight loss. It can be quite dangerous as it’s actually causing muscle loss, and not fat loss, which can cause organ failure, pancreatitis, liver problems, kidney problems, and gastrointestinal issues.
Join Dr. Martin as he discusses the side effects of statin drugs and the off-label use of drugs like Ozempic for weight loss.
A new study has revealed if you’re diagnosed with diabetes before the age of 30, you’ve essentially shaved 14 years off your life! This earth shattering news ought to be heralded from the rooftops.
Join Dr. Martin as he teaches on sugar diabetes, what type two diabetes was originally called.
Choline is an important amino acid found primarily in the animal kingdom. The highest source of choline is actually found in egg yolks, and this is why Dr. Martin says you should be eating the entire egg.
Join Dr. Martin as he looks at several studies on choline and why eggs are so important… all in today’s episode of Headline News Mondays!

Dr. Martin continues his series at the drawing board, this time discussing the reasons why you should avoid wheat.
We have all believed the lie that grains are good for us. In today’s episode, Dr. Martin discusses the negative things that happen in our bodies when we consume wheat. He also provides a history lesson on how the processing of wheat has changed over time, and not for the better.
Dr. Martin has always felt sorry for people who have been duped. Unfortunately, that has happened to all of us at one point or another. We’re constantly being fed propaganda and it’s so easy to fall for the lies.
Join Dr. Martin as he goes over many common health beliefs that are in fact lies. He also disputes “the science” behind many of the food choices we still make today. Propaganda is everywhere, but you can learn to spot it. Dr. Martin explains.
