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.
Why is this you may ask? Indians generally eat much less meat than their Pakistani neighbours because of their religious beliefs. Pakistan is almost a 100% Muslim population and they eat more meat.

Back in March, an Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger jet went on a flight powered completely by cooking oil! Dr. Martin nearly fell over when he read this!
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!
Join Dr. Martin as he gives a history lesson on seed oils and explains why they’re so bad for you!
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.
In the last couple of years, the prescribing of antidepressants for kids is up some 600%. The Journal of the American Medical Association is reporting this finding as well as saying that antibiotics can do more harm than good in children!
Join Dr. Martin as he ties these two crucial studies together in today’s episode. The overuse of antibiotics has been well documented to cause problems in the gut but it’s also linked to the mental health of children.
Dr. Martin looks at several studies in today’s episode. From low vitamin D causing migraines to high hematocrit levels putting you at risk of diabetes.

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!
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.
Dr. Martin continues answering listener’s questions about digestive issues.
He focuses his time in this episode teaching primarily about stomach acidity and why so many people have problems with their gut.
He also touches on peptic ulcers, bacterial overgrowth and why the thyroid has a role to play.

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.
Join Dr. Martin as he shares the dangers of seed oils in today’s episode!
Dr. Martin shares two interesting studies on non-alcoholic fatty liver. The first says that 4 decades of research has left big pharma without a medication for it. The second says that a specific blend of probiotics can help reverse liver damage.
If you’ve followed Dr. Martin, you know how much he loves probiotics. He’s absolutely thrilled to hear that probiotics can help repair a damaged liver!

Two recent articles about the liver have piqued Dr. Martin’s interest, and in particular one about fatty liver in American teenagers. The cross-sectional study is showing that 74% of teens have some form of fatty liver.

From the benefits of drinking coffee, to eating more protein, to why bacon is good for you… Dr. Martin shares some tips in today’s episode to help listeners understand his philosophy, the way he thinks.
For decades now, Dr. Martin has been challenging the mainstream thinking when it comes to health & wellness. He has remained consistent in his teaching and often gets flack for not going along with the current narrative.
According to an article Dr. Martin recently read, 25% of North Americans are deficient in iron. Surprisingly, there’s more talk today about too much iron than being deficient in the mineral.
When you consider the North American diet, consisting primarily of crappy carbs and sugars, it’s no wonder 1 in 4 people are deficient. Many women are also deficient in iron because of heavy bleeding from their menses.
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode as he talks about the major deficiencies found in our diet and why they exist.
In part 1 of this series, Dr. Martin looked at obvious signs you have a sluggish thyroid. In today’s episode, he looks at secondary signs that may be contributing factors.
Dr. Martin has often called the thyroid a puppet as it reacts to other things happening in the body. Doctors will often dismiss symptoms a woman is having because their test results come back as normal.
Join Dr. Martin as he sheds light on this condition affecting millions of women!
