Dr. Martin shares a troubling headline that’s saying obesity has doubled since 2018 in the United States. The biggest headline continues to be the virus, but that's not killing the most people, not even by a long shot. Obesity kills 2.8 million people a year in the US!
We have an unhealthy obsession with processed foods! Bad oils, crappy carbs and sugars all contribute to metabolic disease. We really need to break up with these bad foods. Dr. Martin admits breaking up is hard to do, but we need to do it – our lives depend on it!

Dr. Martin shares a small study showing how Alzheimer’s was reversed in patients. Not just stopped, but reversed! What’s encouraging is the study didn’t look at genetics, but instead at lifestyle. They looked at Alzheimer's the way it should be, as a metabolic disease.
Many people think that Alzheimer’s is simply aging of the brain, when it’s really not that at all. It’s a neurodegenerative disease, and this study is showing how lifestyle changes can dramatically affect its progression.
Dr. Martin unpacks the study in today’s episode. He shares the changes they made resulting in this breakthrough discovery!
According to Dr. Martin, there is not an organ more misdiagnosed than the thyroid gland. Your thyroid controls your metabolism, like the gas pedal in your car, but it never acts independently on its own. It’s subject to a lot of things going on in your body.
A recent study is showing that your thyroid will not work properly without proper levels of selenium or iodine. The study has prompted Dr. Martin to talk about the causes of a sluggish thyroid. He brings up 17 unexplained symptoms that could point to a sluggish thyroid.

A study published in July in the Journal of Neurology is showing how cancer slowed down rapidly when sugar and carbs were eliminated from the diet. The research was done by a cancer biologist studying aggressive brain and spinal cord cancer.
Dr. Martin shares how we are all battling cancer on a daily basis. It takes 5 years for cancer to grow to the size of a pen tip, but what accelerates that growth is sugar! Cancer needs fuel to grow, and sugars and carbs cause it to, “grow, grow, grow,” as Dr. Martin says.
What we need to do is cut out the carbs and the sugars and DIM out your estrogen. DIM is short for diindolylmethane and it helps balance estrogen levels in your body. You're never going to get away from estrogen, but Dr. Martin shares ways to reduce your exposure to it.
One of the big things we're seeing in this day and age is a deficiency in zinc, or vitamin Z as Dr. Martin likes to call it. If you eat red meat, vitamin S, you’re getting zinc and you don’t need to worry about taking it as a supplement.
So where do we see zinc deficiencies? In those who primarily eat plant-based diets. Vegans and vegetarians are at risk because there’s not enough zinc in vegetables. Humans need to be eating from the animal kingdom to get zinc.
Listen to today’s episode to learn how your immune system doesn’t work without zinc. Dr. Martin also shares two other groups of people that are susceptible to zinc deficiencies. Don’t miss this informative episode!

A study out of the University College in London, England is showing that patients with rheumatoid arthritis also have leaky gut. The study is confirming something Dr. Martin has been saying for 40 years… that all autoimmune disorders originate in the gut, a leaky gut.
In today’s episode, Dr. Martin goes over signs you can look for to see if you have leaky gut syndrome. The first one is that you have an autoimmune disorder. Sjogren's, MS, and even Parkinson's are examples of autoimmune disorders.
The second is the overuse of antibiotics and prescription drugs, which can lead to dysbiosis in the gut. It basically means you have more bad bacteria than good bacteria in your gut.
Don’t miss this episode to learn the other signs you may have leaky gut!
The CDC is showing that 61% of the population in North America have reported weight gain in the last 18 months. The average weight gain is 15 pounds!
Dr. Martin is calling this The Netflix Syndrome. People have been staying home, the schools were closed, the shut downs occurred. People have not been getting exercise or even getting out. They’re staying home and watching Netflix.
In addition to this, the National Health Institute is saying if you gain 11 pounds you have almost an 80% increase in your risk of developing Type II diabetes. This information isn’t getting out to the general public. We’re not being told how to better protect ourselves from viruses and bacteria. This bothers Dr. Martin!
A Bible verse that Dr. Martin loves is Proverbs 23:23. It says, “get the truth and never sell it.”
In today’s episode, Dr. Martin discusses the 7 Pillars of Truth, as far as your health is concerned. He urges listeners to “get the truth” in the overarching principles he consistently teaches about.
The 7 things that will help you stay healthy are better food choices, water, exercise, sleep, managing stress, gut health, and vitamin D. Dr. Martin teaches on the importance of each of these items.
There is a growing concern that men are losing their masculinity too quickly. Studies are showing that testosterone levels are down 30-40% in the last 20 years. Sperm counts over the last 30 years are down nearly 60%. One study is even showing that by the year 2045, babies won’t be conceived without artificial semen!
In today’s episode, Dr. Martin shares 7 reasons why men’s masculinity is plummeting and offers ways to correct it. He also talks about low testosterone and how changing your diet can have an immediate effect!
Dr. Martin also shares more unintended consequences of the virus, and that is our cortisol levels are through the roof. People are stressed, they’re not sleeping, and they’re stuck in a vicious cycle.

According to Dr. Martin, true vitamin E is actually exercise! There is nothing negative about vitamin E. It's all good, but just realize some exercises are better for you than others.
In today’s episode, Dr. Martin talks about the most effective exercise you can do – weight resistant exercises. Lifting weights actually decreases insulin resistance, and as we age, it’s important to do something, anything to keep our muscles moving.
Dr. Martin also looks at a study that’s showing that just 2 minutes on a rebounder will drain your lymphatics. This is major news as it’s important we get the debris out of our bodies.
Did you know that our bodies have a self cleaning function? It’s called autophagy and it’s the body's way of cleaning out debris from our systems.
We are finding more and more about how our brain’s glymphatic, and our body’s lymphatic systems work. They’re all connected, and for autophagy to work, you need to sleep. It’s estimated that 70% of the North American population does not get a good night’s sleep. As a result, our bodies don’t clean, they don’t detox the way they should.
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode where he shares 3 other ways to promote autophagy, your body’s self cleaning oven!
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.
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.
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.
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.
