New statistics are out on mental health and they’re showing an 80% increase in prescriptions for anxiety!
Researchers followed 35,000 people in the last couple of years and monitored the side effects of anxiety drugs. The reported side effects are crazy!
Join Dr. Martin as he unpacks this study and shares the hidden dangers of long-term use of these prescription meds.
Mexico has a huge problem with what Dr. Martin calls diabesity. Basically you’re pre-diabetic and already on the road to destruction.
A recent headline asked what Mexico knew that we didn’t. This comes after the country seized 380,000 boxes of Kellogg’s cereals. The reason? The boxes featured cartoons designed to lure children into eating the cereal. It’s illegal to do that in Mexico!
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode where he talks about blood sugar and the gut. He also discusses a study on the H. pylori bacteria.
Researchers are pretty certain they’ve found the cause of multiple sclerosis. MS is an autoimmune disorder and it's much more common today than it ever used to be.
The researchers have shown that Epstein-Barr, a common type of the herpes virus, is what triggers MS. The virus essentially primes the immune system to start attacking the body’s nervous system.
The herpes virus is latent in your system, meaning it’s dormant, and it will only raise its ugly head when your immune system is not working properly. In today’s episode, Dr. Martin provides insight as to why the Epstein-Barr virus can be activated in the first place.

Some of today’s topics include:
In the last episode, Dr. Martin talked about oxalates and how they are the main cause of kidney stones. Oxalates also cause digestive issues as they can irritate your gut.
We all suffer digestive issues from time to time, but if you’re always struggling with IBS and other stomach problems, you may have diverticulosis. It’s a condition where you develop small pouches in the transverse colon of the gut and they cause bloating, pain and discomfort. It can become a very dangerous situation that will put you in the hospital.
Dr. Martin also discusses what kills your gut. Without fail, again and again, the number one thing on the hit parade for digestive issues is antibiotics! They’ll save your life, but the overuse of them sets you up for a lifetime of digestive problems.
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode to learn how you can improve your gut health.
A new study has come out on oxalates, the tiny molecules that bind themselves to calcium. The study says, more than anything else, oxalates are the root cause of kidney stones.
Dr. Martin is big on transport systems and the trucks on the highways of your blood vessels. He talks specifically about two “transport companies,” HDL cholesterol and vitamin K2, and how they also take oxalates out of your system.
Listen to today’s episode to learn why calcification is bad, and how putting more trucks on the highways of your blood vessels is good for you!
Dr. Martin talks about a huge announcement made by the CDC in the United States. The CDC director admitted that 75% of all the deaths from the virus occurred in people with four comorbidities. Three out of four deaths, the patients had multiple comorbidities!
This announcement is significant, and it goes along with what Dr. Martin has been saying since day one of the virus. We already know that 88% of the population is metabolically unwell – that’s 9 out of every 10 people!
People are on the broad road to disease and this virus has exposed how unhealthy North Americans really are. Remember, disease doesn’t happen overnight!
Over 50 years ago now, saturated fat started getting a bad rap as doctors thought it was clogging up your arteries. We ended up making the switch to polyunsaturated fats found primarily in vegetable and seed oils. We know now that the doctors were wrong!
Join Dr. Martin as he talks about fat, consuming fat, and knowing the difference between a healthy fat and an unhealthy one. Using vitamin S, steak as an example, Dr. Martin explains what it means that saturated fat is a satisfied fat.
Don’t miss this episode where you’ll learn why we need saturated fat.

What’s worse for your heart? If you had to choose between smoking, cholesterol or obesity, which one would you choose? Most people would pick smoking, but the answer is actually stress!
A recent study out of The Journal of the American Medical Association is saying that stress is the number one most dangerous factor for your heart. When we are stressed, high levels of cortisol start circulating.
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode as he explains why cortisol plays a huge factor in a diagnosis of heart disease.
When doctors check if someone has diabetes, they’re relying on high blood sugar levels to make the diagnosis. Oftentimes, when people have their blood tested, their blood sugar is already back within normal range.
Dr. Martin says a paradigm shift in medicine needs to happen where doctors are looking at insulin resistance instead of blood sugar. When our bodies are constantly secreting insulin to remove sugar from our bloodstream, we become insulin resistant. When this happens, more and more insulin is needed to do the same job.
In today’s episode, Dr. Martin looks at insulin resistance and how it really is a head to toe problem. If you do nothing else for your health, fix insulin resistance!
Now that 2022 is here, many of us will make New Year’s resolutions. Losing weight tends to be the number resolution people will make. Dr. Martin is all for losing weight, but he also knows if you’re not fixing the underlying problem, diets never work.
What is the likely underlying problem? It’s high circulating insulin. If you don’t first fix this, you are on your way to a yo-yo dieting rollercoaster.
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode as he addresses “horror-mones” and why they’re preventing you from keeping the weight off!
As we enter 2022, Dr. Martin has 22 reasons why you should do the Metabolic Reset!
The overarching principle of the Reset is to fix insulin resistance and is the most important thing you can do for your health. If you did nothing else for your health, getting your insulin down would give you the biggest benefit!
If you were ever interested in trying the Reset, this episode will convince you that now is the time to try it!

Dr. Martin unpacks a new study showing how high blood sugar is bad, but high insulin is worse.
Insulin resistance or high circulating insulin really is at the root of all major chronic diseases of today – heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, and of course, diabetes.
Learn why lowering your insulin needs to play a bigger role in metabolic health. Dr. Martin shares why medicine has made a huge mistake in only being interested in controlling blood sugar!
Dr. Martin looks at two different studies in today’s episode. The first about vitamin D, or VitDerma as Dr. Martin likes to call it, and the second on high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
Any study on vitamin D is a good study, and this one is saying how sunlight energizes special cells in your immune system called T-cells. Dr. Martin has spoken previously about these little antenna receptors on your T-cells looking specifically for vitamin D. They energize your cells and help strengthen your immune system.
The second study on fructose consumption, and specifically high-fructose corn syrup, the Frankenstein of sugar, is warning of serious changes to the liver even in the absence of obesity. The study is basically saying you can be skinny and still metabolically unwell, and that’s a dangerous combination.
If you remember from science class, mitochondria are the little battery packs in your cells. They’re what give you energy, and there’s a new study out showing how statin drugs are destroying your mitochondria!
The purpose of statin drugs is to lower your cholesterol, but this study shows how the cell wall is being damaged and your production of CoQ10 is being diminished.
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode as he discusses mitochondrial health and why it’s so important!

Dr. Martin reviews an article written by the Prostate Cancer Foundation. The article is saying that prostate cancer has a sweet tooth. Cancer needs sugar to grow, and it’s surprising to Dr. Martin that a cancer foundation is admitting this.
In today’s episode, Dr. Martin discusses prostate health and why men need to lay off the sugar. He also explains why he calls prostate and breast cancer, identical cancers.
