Oxalates are found in the vegetable kingdom and are little crystals that your body makes from food. The highest sources are found in spinach, almonds, and legumes.
Dr. Martin reviews a new study showing that oxalates can be bad news for some. The study is saying that dietary oxalates can be a factor in heart disease if you don't eat them with calcium. They can cause hardening of your arteries.
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode to learn all about oxalates and why they can be bad news.
Dr. Martin reviews an interesting study on omega-3 and metabolic syndrome.
We have about a 30:1 ratio of omega-6 over omega-3s and the biggest reason for that are crappy carbohydrate vegetable oils. When you consume so many omega-6s, your body starts an inflammatory process. This is bad.
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode to learn the benefit of increasing your omega-3 intake and decreasing your omega-6.
We’ve always been told that calories are important and to lose weight you need to eat less and move more. Dr. Martin has always fought this idea as they’re not taking into account insulin, estrogen, or a sluggish thyroid.
Dr. Martin wants you eating nutrient-dense foods. When you do this, calories are irrelevant because you need less food to feel full. An example is one slice of pizza that has the equivalent calories of eating 9 eggs. We usually eat more than 2 slices of pizza, so the caloric intake is like eating 2 dozen eggs!
Join Dr. Martin as he discusses calories and why we don’t count them on The Reset!

It was 1955 when President Eisenhower had a heart attack while playing golf. This is when a pathologist at the University of Minnesota, Ancel Keys, first became known. He claimed that cholesterol and saturated fat had caused Eisenhower’s heart attack. Keys went on to become the leading doctor when it came to cholesterol and food.
President Eisenhower’s heart attack changed the world because it set us on a track of hammering down cholesterol and changing the foods we eat. It turns out that the heart attack wasn't caused by diet, but rather cigarette smoking.
