It was John Denver who sang that sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy. Dr. Martin thinks of that song whenever the sun is shining.

Recently Dr. Martin shared some news that the FDA was recalling lots of sunscreens because of their carcinogenic effect. Now, a new study is showing that people who use sunscreen are much more susceptible to melanoma than people that don't use it.

Join Dr. Martin as he shares a combination of studies on sunshine, why it works, and what it does when you get it on your skin. Exposure to the sun is so good for you, and there’s no need to be afraid of it.

Many doctors automatically put young women on birth control to regulate their periods, and more times than not, those pills contain estrogen. Estrogen is a growth hormone. It’s what makes ladies beautiful, but too much estrogen is a bad thing.

If you’ve followed Dr. Martin for any time, you know how he’s interested in hormonal balance. Finding this balance is a tightrope walk for most women. Your levels of estrogen and progesterone need to be in balance.

Join Dr. Martin as he talks about birth control pills and what it means to be too much of a woman!

The CDC has found up to 300 chemicals in the blood. Dr. Martin was relating yesterday how toxic that is for our brain. Today, Dr. Martin shifts his focus to the addictive brain.

Nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs as it gets to the pleasure center of your brain within 10 seconds of lighting up a cigarette.

Processed foods have become the tobacco of today. Dr. Martin explains why in today’s episode.

Anyone who has ever undergone chemotherapy knows of chemo brain, the loss of short-term memory and brain fog that persists after treatment. That’s one of the side effects from the toxins reaching your brain.

Dr. Martin talks about how to protect the brain by diminishing exposure to these toxins in today’s episode. He teaches about the gut-brain axis and the liver-brain axis and why these connections are really important to understand.

We live in a toxic world and our brains can become toxic if we don’t protect them!

Whenever you see I-T-I-S at the end of a medical condition, it’s referring to inflammation. So when you hear arthritis, for example, the name is referring to inflammation of the joints.

Remember that inflammation without a cause is bad news. Learn more in today’s episode!

Dr. Martin shares an interesting observational study about colorectal cancer in today’s episode.

The populations of India and Pakistan are known for having very high rates of diabetes. They share similar diets, but it turns out that India has 400% more colorectal cancer than in Pakistan.

Canola oil… Canada’s gift to the world has become a virus spreading to the corners of the Earth. Everything is now fried in these bad oils and they can also power a jumbo jet. Unbelievable!

Jun 20, 2022

Dr. Martin continues his teaching on anxiety and depression in today’s episode. He focuses specifically on the two areas of the brain that get affected by stress.

Our bodies are built for stress, but no one was built for chronic levels of stress. We have two organs in our body, the adrenal glands, that are built for stress. They control your fight or flight response, but when they don’t shut off, you end up with high levels of cortisol. This is bad.

Cortisol over a period of time has a major effect on the body. Join Dr. Martin as he looks at these major effects.

 

Jun 17, 2022

A new study on cortisol is showing how high cortisol can give you symptoms that resemble a concussion, like a brain injury. The study has shown that high levels of cortisol can cause dizziness as if you had a head injury.

Dr. Martin has talked previously about how stress can trigger a cortisol response. When you don't sleep, your cortisol goes up… and when your cortisol goes up, you don't sleep. It’s a vicious cycle that many are stuck in.

Join Dr. Martin as he talks about cortisol in today’s episode!

 

Jun 13, 2022

Dr. Martin talks about your adrenal glands and gives 6 signs your adrenals may be off in today’s episode.

Your adrenals are two small organs located on top of your kidneys. They're really important because they release cortisol, your stress hormone. You want your adrenals to work, but you don't want them to work overtime all the time.

Cortisol continually being secreted becomes disruptive not only to your sleep, weight, or to your energy… but to your mental health. Dr. Martin explains how.

Seed oils are bad for you is something Dr. Martin has said for decades… and another study has come out to confirm this. The study shows how polyunsaturated seed oils disrupt your microbiome.

When Dr. Martin refers to crappy carbohydrates, he means seed oils and they’re found in nearly all processed foods. Often marketed as vegetable oils… canola, grapeseed, corn, cottonseed, safflower, sunflower, rice bran, soy etc. all cause an inflammatory response in your body, which is bad.
