If you’ve followed Dr. Martin for any length of time, you’ll know he refers to women’s hormones as horror-mones. When your levels of estrogen and progesterone go out of balance, “you become too much of a woman,” says Dr. Martin.

In today’s episode, Dr. Martin teaches about the importance of estrogen and your thyroid gland. When you are estrogen dominant, your thyroid slows down. This opens the door to a variety of issues such as fatigue, weakness, weight gain, and even hair loss. Your thyroid is your metabolism, your gas pedal, and ladies, you must fix that first!

Dr. Martin also discusses some foods that women need to be avoiding. The worst offender is soy, and Dr. Martin urges women to avoid it like the plague!

Did you know that during the COVID lockdowns the food industry doubled down on their marketing to children? Knowing that children were mostly at home, watching TV, the food industry geared its advertising directly to them. It’s being called food porn!

The study, published in the Journal of American Medical Association, revealed that over 90% of children between the ages of 2 and 19 live on junk food. On top of that, 70% of children in the United States are obese! 70 percent!

Dr. Martin is angry this is happening! It literally makes him sick knowing how this will affect his grandchildren. By the year 2030, the World Health Organization is predicting a pandemic of diabetes – a pandemic of diabetes! Our health truly is in jeopardy!

Have you ever heard of a Food Anthropologist? They’re scientists who look at the history of food and the dietary changes in populations around the world. 

As far back as 1776, during the declaration of independence in the United States, people consumed on average 4 pounds of sugar in a year. In the 1950s, it was 25 pounds. Fifty pounds in the 70s… and today, it’s 200 pounds of sugar in a year! 

Dr. Martin looks at what sugar does to our bodies in today’s episode. He shares a study that’s showing how people with elevated levels of blood glucose are more likely to die from the coronavirus. Sugar actually impairs the “first responders” in your body, allowing the virus to spread.

 

Sep 6, 2021

If you search online for the pineal gland, it’s often referred to as your body’s “third eye.” It’s located deep in the center of the brain and is important for receiving light. It’s also responsible for helping make melatonin.

Melatonin is a widely recognized supplement for helping you sleep. 70% of the population in North America doesn't get enough sleep, so it’s no wonder so many rely on supplements and sleeping pills.

In today’s episode, Dr. Martin teaches about melatonin and how your body naturally produces it. He talks about the pineal gland and how it becomes calcified as you age, essentially slowing down your body’s ability to create the melatonin hormone.

 

Sep 3, 2021

When you are insulin resistant, your pancreas needs to produce increasingly more insulin to remove sugar from your bloodstream. The insulin takes those sugars and parks it in your liver, your fat cells… and in your muscles, which is the preferred destination. This is why weight resistance exercises are the best for your health. You are creating more bins in your muscles to store glucose.

For years now, we have known that sugar feeds cancer cells, but we didn’t know the mechanism used to do this. We now know the enzyme p31k diverts sugar, which was meant to be stored in your muscles, into cancer cells. This is especially true if you are insulin resistant!

Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode as he unpacks this discovery. He also teaches on fatty acids and how cancer tumours need this fuel to grow.

 

Sep 2, 2021

A recent survey has revealed the top 11 reasons why people visit their doctors. Ten years ago, when Dr. Martin wrote Energy Robbers and the Fatigue Cure, the number one reason was fatigue. The number one reason has now been replaced, and the reason may surprise you.

The number one reason why people visit their doctors is for skin issues. From psoriasis, to eczema, to acne, to rashes... our skin is the largest, and most visible organ in the body!

There are two things that are going to influence your skin more than anything else. One, is leaky gut. Two is what you eat. If you look at your skin, it's almost a mirror image of what is happening in your gut. Our modern diet of crappy oils and carbs and enormous amounts of sugar is destroying people’s lives.

Dr. Martin also answers several additional questions he missed from Question & Answer Friday.

 

Sep 1, 2021

Dr. Martin answers questions sent in by our listeners.

Some of today’s topics include:

  • Caloric deficit for weight loss
  • Lipedema
  • Benfotiamine to combat effects of glycation
  • Tanning beds & lotions
  • Unexpected bruising
  • Nitrates and additives in processed meats
  • Vitamin D with K2
  • Canker sores
  • High levels of B12

Tune in to hear Dr. Martin’s responses!

Dr. Martin shares a study out of India showing that their diet is very, very low in protein. Their daily protein intake is around 30 grams, when it should be triple that and ideally between 200 and 300 grams.

When it comes to nutrition, protein is the king of the castle. What insulin does with protein is different than what it does with carbohydrates. Carbs are a bad fuel because if you don’t use that energy right away, it gets stored as fat. For protein, insulin will take it and drive amino acids inside your cells.

In today’s episode, Dr. Martin uses this study as a springboard to teach on how to drive up your HDL cholesterol and to lower your triglycerides.

Don’t miss this informative episode!

 

Aug 30, 2021

A staggering statistic coming out of the United States is that 250 million prescriptions were written for antidepressants in 2020! Dr. Martin calls this an unintended consequence of locking down society because of a virus.

SSRIs like Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil were never meant to be used long-term. Their intention was to get you through a crisis. Dr. Martin shares 4 major side effects of the prolonged use of antidepressants.

Dr. Martin also shares the biomarkers of depression he has seen in his patients. From leaky gut, to being chronically low in B12, there are many reasons why people have depression. Dr. Martin unpacks this in today’s episode.

 

Aug 27, 2021

Dr. Martin has previously urged listeners not to ditch dairy, but instead to switch their dairy. Now, the same thing applies to salt. 

Did you know that table salt (sodium chloride) is stripped of all of its nutrients? Dr. Martin wants you to instead choose a Himalayan or a good sea salt that gives you all your minerals.

Why switch your salt? It has to do with dehydration, in which there are two types. The most commonly known one is a lack of water. People drink everything else but water and have no idea how dehydrated they are. The second one is salt. The type of salt you choose matters. Dr. Martin explains why in today’s episode.

 

Aug 26, 2021

Health officials in Japan have drawn up new guidelines stating that the higher your cholesterol is, the better you feel, and the longer you live! This is a major breakthrough that Dr. Martin has been talking about for years. 

In today’s episode, Dr. Martin links this breakthrough with another study showing that low levels of cholesterol equals more Alzheimer’s. He applauds the Japanese for understanding that our bodies need cholesterol. 

Dr. Martin also talks about the history of statin drugs and shares why he thinks they cause more harm than good. Listen in to hear more!

 

Aug 25, 2021

Dr. Martin answers questions sent in by our listeners.

Some of today’s topics include:

  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Temporal arteritis
  • Glutathione supplementation 
  • Brachial radial bursitis
  • Fulvic acid
  • Varicose veins
  • Prolia shots for osteoporosis
  • Calcium supplements
  • Hydrochloric acid
  • Celiac disease

Tune in to hear Dr. Martin’s responses!

 

Aug 24, 2021

You may have heard of therapeutic doses of medication being used on patients. Doctors would take an inexpensive medication, such as ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, and give high doses to patients over a few days. The goal of therapeutics was to saturate your system and stage off any further spread of a viral or bacterial infection.

Dr. Martin says that doctors are no longer talking about therapeutics, and especially now. One such therapeutic is the ‘vitamin D hammer,’ where high doses of vitamin D are given to multiply your white blood cells. You’re essentially enlisting an army to ‘hammer’ whatever virus or parasite may be present in your bloodstream.

Listen to today’s episode to learn more about vitamin D – or as Dr. Martin likes to call it, VitDerma!

 

Aug 23, 2021

There is an epidemic happening amongst women, and it’s called iron deficiency. A recent study is showing that 21% of women in North America between the ages of 15 and 49 are anemic. That’s nearly a quarter of women!

Dr. Martin talks about iron deficiency, and specifically about anemia in today’s episode. He shares reasons why so many women are low in iron, and offers ways to reverse the trend. 

A second study about diabetes is showing how diabetics don’t eat the minimum amount of protein they need. Dr. Martin reminds listeners how diabetes is a food problem, and not one of genetics. A diagnosis of diabetes is truly a death sentence, but it can be avoided… provided you change your fuel!

 

Aug 20, 2021

You may have heard of the pancreas but are unsure of what it actually does. In today’s episode, Dr. Martin teaches about the pancreas and talks about pancreatic cancer, one of the most prevalent and deadly cancers today. 

Our healthcare system is all about early detection and not about prevention. Dr. Martin teaches prevention because he doesn’t want you to get sick in the first place. He wants you to change your fuel and stop feeding your body sugars and crappy carbs.

The number one reason we’re seeing so much pancreatic cancer is because of sugar, says Dr. Martin. Listen to today’s episode to learn what sugar does to the pancreas.

You may have never heard this said before, but diabetes is a food allergy. That’s right. Diabetics have an allergy to carbohydrates, says Dr. Martin.

In today’s episode, Dr. Martin again shares a recent study on insulin resistance. The 6-year study tested 200 participants for insulin resistance. The ones that had the highest insulin resistance were getting all the diseases. The ones with the lowest insulin resistance were getting none of them.

Dr. Martin again shares this study to show how insulin resistance plays a huge role in our health. When you become resistant to insulin, the door is opened to diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and even Alzheimer’s.

If you can only do one thing to improve your health, Dr. Martin urges you to cut the carbs. Doing that alone will greatly reduce your chances of developing a metabolic disorder.

 

Aug 17, 2021

Dr. Martin answers questions sent in by our listeners.

Some of today’s topics include:

  • Postbiotics with butyrate
  • Ketone salts
  • GAPS and Mediterranean diets
  • Flaxseed and estrogen
  • Repairing diverticulitis
  • Alternatives to Himalayan salt 
  • Overdosing on zinc or B12
  • Inositol vs Insulin Formula
  • Detoxing of the body

Tune in to hear Dr. Martin’s responses!

 

Aug 16, 2021

A recent headline from the Journal of the American Association for Cancer Research is saying that a healthy lifestyle may help mitigate high genetic risk cancers. A review of studies has led the publication to believe there's a possible link between your lifestyle and cancer. 

Dr. Martin never thought he’d see the day when cancer would be linked to an unhealthy lifestyle and not to genetics! This discovery is major news, but again, it will be buried. It doesn’t fit the narrative of managing disease instead of preventing it altogether. 

In today’s episode, Dr. Martin reminds listeners about two ways to live a healthy lifestyle. Through diet, eliminating sugar and carbs, and by getting optimized levels of vitamin D. These two things alone will diminish your risk of any type of cancer!

 

Aug 13, 2021

It’s probably not surprising to hear that sugar is detrimental to your brain. If you’ve been listening to Dr. Martin’s podcast for any length of time, you’ve heard him say this many times. 

A recent study looking at sugar intake over time is showing the enormous effect sugar has on the memory centre of the brain, the hippocampus. That’s not good, but what is encouraging… is the study was presented at the recent Alzheimer’s International Conference. Researchers are starting to see how much sugar affects our brains!

In today’s episode, Dr. Martin teaches on what happens in your body with a prolonged diet full of sugar. He also talks about dehydration and making changes to your lifestyle to include intermittent fasting. Listen in to learn more!

 

Aug 12, 2021

A few weeks back, Dr. Martin shared a study showing how artificial sweeteners like aspartame have a negative impact on our overall health. That study showed how diet drinks especially caused a change to the microbiome.

This new study is showing how artificial sweeteners affect the chemical messengers in the brain. The chemistry of your brain is being altered to increase your hunger. If people are making the switch to “diet” to lose weight, it’ll actually make things worse.

Dr. Martin offers an alternative to diet drinks, and that’s vitamin W – water! So many people are dehydrated and they don’t even know it. Water is essential to our brains, and that’s why it’s so important to increase our intake!

 

Aug 11, 2021

Dr. Martin answers questions sent in by our listeners.

Some of today’s topics include:

  • Electrolytes & dehydration
  • Diabetes & hypertension
  • Optimal iodine levels 
  • Difference between DHEA and DHA
  • Parathyroid glands
  • Digestive enzymes
  • Cold water therapy
  • Norwegian spruce extract
  • Flaxseed & lignans 
  • Long-time use of SSRIs

Tune in to hear Dr. Martin’s responses!

There is no doubt that omega-3 is an effective tool in keeping you healthy. There have been countless studies about its benefits, and Dr. Martin shares 5 new studies that came out in the last week!

He also shares 3 ways to increase your omega-3 intake. Although supplementation is effective, Dr. Martin reminds listeners that he wants you to eat your vitamins!

Listen to today’s episode to learn more reasons why you need omega-3, and especially DHA!

 

Aug 9, 2021

Dr. Martin looks at the top 4 selling medications in North America. These top drugs manage the symptoms associated with high cholesterol, thyroid issues, diabetes, and high blood pressure, but often have significant side effects. 

The big pharmaceuticals are often “looking for love in the wrong places.” They are looking to profit from the management of symptoms and not actually finding a cure. Oftentimes, the drug may help one thing, but cause another problem.

In today’s episode, Dr. Martin focuses specifically on the side effects of these drugs. He explains what the drugs do, and shares the side effects that need to be countered. As always, the solution boils down to the food choices we are making!

 

Aug 6, 2021

Something that has bothered Dr. Martin over the whole of the pandemic, is that nobody is talking about the immune system. What’s more frustrating is when you have educated medical professionals who seem to have forgotten we even have one!

When it comes to viruses, you need to remember that they mutate. There will always be variants of a virus, and with each mutation, it’s actually getting weaker – it’s devolving. It’s the media that’s pushing the narrative that each variant is more dangerous than the last.

In today’s episode, Dr. Martin shares his thoughts on the virus and how the media has stopped being skeptical in their journalism. He reminds listeners about the importance of vitamin D and how our immune systems need optimized levels for it to function properly.
