November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Did you know that over 40 million Americans are diagnosed officially with type II diabetes? Over half the population is also considered pre-diabetic. It’s an epidemic!
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode as he teaches on how diabetes is a food problem. It's not genetics, it's food choices!
Dr. Martin reviews a study from the Journal of Critical Reviews in Food Science that shows how meat consumption is good for the prevention of depression.
The meta analysis of thousands of studies came to the conclusion that people who eat properly have less instances of depression. You want your body to metabolize foods properly, so you can give your body all the nutrients it needs.
Join Dr. Martin to learn why red meat especially is so full of nutrients!
A recent study is showing that 92% of Americans have a vitamin or mineral deficiency! The results don’t actually surprise Dr. Martin as he’s been seeing this for years in his clinic.
In North America we are overfed and undernourished, which means we’re not getting the proper vitamins and minerals from the food we eat.
Dr. Martin goes over the 6 areas where most people are deficient. He teaches why you need optimum levels of omega-3, vitamin D, zinc, iron, magnesium and B12.

When we hear about melatonin, most of us think of it as helping us sleep better. That’s true, but did you know that melatonin is a very powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant? It helps your cells not to rust out so quickly.
Dr. Martin teaches about melatonin in today’s episode. We all have a small pea-sized gland at the base of our brains. This gland, the pineal gland, has been referred to as our ‘third eye.’ When light enters our eyes, the pineal gland is what makes melatonin. Melatonin is also made in complete darkness.
Listen to today’s episode to learn all about melatonin, and how it has a shelf life for some people.
A recent study is showing how the combination of vitamin D and omega-3 decreases your chances of getting autoimmune by 25%.
Dr. Martin shares his theory on autoimmune disease, and why today it’s an epidemic. All disease starts in the gut and it’s no different with autoimmune. Dr. Martin speaks specifically about Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and how it can begin.
He also speaks about vitamin D and omega-3 and how we need to supplement if we’re not getting it naturally or through our food. Join us today for this informative session!
A recent discovery of a specific protein called ROC has got Dr. Martin excited. This protein actually feeds the good bacteria of your microbiome.
Your microbiome is made up of trillions and trillions of bacteria on your body, and in your body, and most of it is found in your gut. In the last number of years, scientists have been studying the microbiome and bacteria and are seeing how it affects everything. They're finding out that Hippocrates was right 2,000 years ago when he said that all disease starts in the gut.
Dr. Martin also discusses how high fructose corn syrup is changing our microbiome. Learn more by listening to today’s episode!

Dr. Martin shares two fascinating studies in today’s episode. One of them is showing how the virus can hijack certain receptors in our cells to gain access to the body. People with high blood pressure, and those especially on medication, are more susceptible to getting the virus.
When you take blood pressure medication, your body creates more ACE2 receptors in order to lower your blood pressure. The problem with having more of those receptors is that it allows more opportunity for the virus to enter your body.
But there’s good news… the second study is showing how cholesterol shields your cells with a dome of protection. The higher your cholesterol, the more dome you have over your cells so they don't get hijacked by a virus or a bacteria.
Listen to today’s episode to learn another reason why you want your cholesterol to be high!
Did you know it was World Vitamin D Day on November 2nd? Of course Dr. Martin couldn’t pass up the chance to celebrate, what he calls, World VitDerma Day!
He brings you a shocking study from researchers at the Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. They have made a recommendation to their government and to other governments to change their opinion on vitamin D. They’re recommending that everyone should be taking vitamin D.
One of the things that surprised researchers was that the amount of vitamin D you had in your bloodstream was directly proportional to the outcome with the virus. That’s right, the more vitamin D you had in your system, the less likely you were seriously affected.
Did you know that 70% of the population has some form of sleep disorder? That statistic probably isn’t as surprising nowadays as it was 30 years ago.
Dr. Martin reviews a recent study by the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine showing a connection between leaky gut and sleep apnea and hypertension.
Join Dr. Martin to learn how fixing your gut will help lower high blood pressure and help you to sleep again!

As discussed in yesterday’s episode, the vast majority of the population has a fatty liver and doesn't even know it. Dr. Martin gives a quick recap and hones in on the thyroid in today’s episode!
This episode is for the ladies, as only a woman understands horror-mones! The moment your liver starts accumulating fat, you create a condition inside your body called inflammation. And when you have inflammation, you have problems.
Dr. Martin also explains what 'The Fog of War' is in this episode.
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, 25% of the adult population has a fatty liver! That’s an incredible finding because most is going undiagnosed. People don’t realize they’re already sick!
Join Dr. Martin as he unpacks this study and shares why it’s so dangerous to have a fatty liver. What they're saying in this study is your chances of dying go up by 80%. This is a major finding that needs to be addressed!
Certain types of mould… candida, yeast, fungus… can produce toxic compounds called mycotoxins. These toxins disrupt your microbiome and will make you sick if they get in your bloodstream.
Dr. Martin looks at several studies about breast cancer and breakfast cereals and their connection to mycotoxins. He has always been interested in dysbiosis, which is a big word for the disruption of the microbiome.

Dr. Martin talks about money in today’s episode. In the United States, it costs $1 billion dollars a day to manage diabetes. That’s a $365 billion annual strain on the US economy. In Canada, that number would be 10 times less because of our smaller population.
Diabetes is the number one cause of blindness, the number one cause of heart disease, and likely the number one cause of cancer, amputations, and kidney disease. Unfortunately, medicine sees no incentive in providing a cure because of how much of a cash cow the management of diabetes is.
Join Dr. Martin as he discusses the cost of diabetes and why prevention needs to take priority over management of the disease.
When Dr. Martin likes something that’s essential, he tends to give it a name. Vitamin S is for steak, vitamin E for exercise, vitamin W for water. As for vitamin D, everyone needs this vitamin, and since it’s absorbed through your skin, Dr. Martin has called it vitderma. Vitamin “skin” because vitamin D is made when sunlight touches your skin.
Today is a blow your socks off kind of day as some important hot off the press news has come down the pipe. Study findings out of Warsaw, Poland are saying that the world’s vitamin D levels are crashing. Dr. Martin says this news is incredible, but not surprising. Governments are influenced by 3 main drivers: big pharma, big food, and big media. There’s an agenda being played out that has vilified vitamin D.
Join Dr. Martin as he unpacks this study and explains why vitamin D levels are crashing all around the world!
