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.

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.
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.
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!

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!
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!
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.

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!
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!
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!

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!
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!
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.
You’ve more than likely heard the saying, “follow the science,” especially from the media and government officials in recent times. You may also hear people saying, “the science is settled.” It bothers Dr. Martin to hear this, because science is never settled. Science is always evolving and we’re always going to learn more.
Dr. Martin shares how the 4 biggest killers in terms of disease (heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes) are actually controlled by 3 major factors. They are pharmaceutical companies, the food industry, and social media. Listen to today’s episode to learn how these powerful conglomerates have hijacked medicine and are controlling the narrative.
Science at its very nature is about observation. If you’re truly following the science, you need to be open to new data. Dr. Martin’s mission is to keep learning so he can bring new information to you, his listeners!

Did you know that your thyroid is about the size of a walnut? It’s a small organ that’s powerful like Mighty Mouse, however, it’s got a lot of strings attached to it – one of them being vitamin D.
Dr. Martin shares a ‘hot off the press’ study that’s showing how your thyroid doesn’t work properly without optimized levels of vitamin D. More and more, studies are showing how optimized levels of vitamin D are essential to your health.
In today’s episode, Dr. Martin discusses this study and shares the four ways to get vitamin D. If you’ve followed Dr. Martin for some time, you likely know the different ways already.
Dr. Martin continues his teaching on the root cause of mental illness in today’s episode.
Last episode he spoke about insulin and how our North American diet of sugar and crappy carbs is a leading contributor of mental illness. According to the CDC, 75% of Americans are overweight and 50% are either diabetic or pre-diabetic. Even more alarming is that 88% of the population has trouble with insulin – they have some form of metabolic syndrome!
Today, Dr. Martin focuses on leaky gut, and how having a leaky gut means you probably have a leaky brain. More and more we’re seeing how having a healthy microbiome results in a healthy brain. We also now have enough data to know that a child’s diet has an enormous effect on mental health later on in life.
Unfortunately, the cards are stacked against us. The huge conglomerates and pharmaceutical companies aren’t looking for a cure, they’re only looking to treat symptoms!
