A new study on cortisol is showing how high cortisol can give you symptoms that resemble a concussion, like a brain injury. The study has shown that high levels of cortisol can cause dizziness as if you had a head injury.
Dr. Martin has talked previously about how stress can trigger a cortisol response. When you don't sleep, your cortisol goes up… and when your cortisol goes up, you don't sleep. It’s a vicious cycle that many are stuck in.
Join Dr. Martin as he talks about cortisol in today’s episode!
Dr. Martin talks about your adrenal glands and gives 6 signs your adrenals may be off in today’s episode.
Your adrenals are two small organs located on top of your kidneys. They're really important because they release cortisol, your stress hormone. You want your adrenals to work, but you don't want them to work overtime all the time.
Cortisol continually being secreted becomes disruptive not only to your sleep, weight, or to your energy… but to your mental health. Dr. Martin explains how.
Dr. Martin continues answering listener’s questions about digestive issues.
He focuses his time in this episode teaching primarily about stomach acidity and why so many people have problems with their gut.

Seed oils are bad for you is something Dr. Martin has said for decades… and another study has come out to confirm this. The study shows how polyunsaturated seed oils disrupt your microbiome.
When Dr. Martin refers to crappy carbohydrates, he means seed oils and they’re found in nearly all processed foods. Often marketed as vegetable oils… canola, grapeseed, corn, cottonseed, safflower, sunflower, rice bran, soy etc. all cause an inflammatory response in your body, which is bad.
Join Dr. Martin as he shares the dangers of seed oils in today’s episode!

Three studies came out in the last week about beta cells. Beta cells are inside the pancreas and they release insulin into the bloodstream.
Old adage says use it or lose it, but in the case of your pancreas, the more you use it, the more you lose it. Dr. Martin pontificates on these new studies and shares how to keep your pancreas healthy!
Two recent articles about the liver have piqued Dr. Martin’s interest, and in particular one about fatty liver in American teenagers. The cross-sectional study is showing that 74% of teens have some form of fatty liver.

From the benefits of drinking coffee, to eating more protein, to why bacon is good for you… Dr. Martin shares some tips in today’s episode to help listeners understand his philosophy, the way he thinks.
For decades now, Dr. Martin has been challenging the mainstream thinking when it comes to health & wellness. He has remained consistent in his teaching and often gets flack for not going along with the current narrative.
According to an article Dr. Martin recently read, 25% of North Americans are deficient in iron. Surprisingly, there’s more talk today about too much iron than being deficient in the mineral.
When you consider the North American diet, consisting primarily of crappy carbs and sugars, it’s no wonder 1 in 4 people are deficient. Many women are also deficient in iron because of heavy bleeding from their menses.
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode as he talks about the major deficiencies found in our diet and why they exist.
In part 1 of this series, Dr. Martin looked at obvious signs you have a sluggish thyroid. In today’s episode, he looks at secondary signs that may be contributing factors.
Dr. Martin has often called the thyroid a puppet as it reacts to other things happening in the body. Doctors will often dismiss symptoms a woman is having because their test results come back as normal.
Join Dr. Martin as he sheds light on this condition affecting millions of women!
Your thyroid is like the gas pedal in your car. Push harder and you go faster. Take your foot off the pedal and you slow down. For many women, it’s like their car is stuck in neutral. Their thyroid has become sluggish almost always because of horror-mones.
In today’s episode, Dr. Martin looks at some obvious signs that you have a sluggish thyroid. When a woman starts losing her hair, it’s a sure-tell sign the thyroid is involved. Same goes with weak, brittle nails. There’s a good chance you have a sluggish thyroid!
Make sure to listen to part 1 of this 2 part series on the thyroid!

A recent study asked about the best sunscreen you can use… and the answer may surprise you! It’s not any sunscreen or oils, or even covering up, it’s in fact vitamin D!
Dr. Martin has always said you’re a human solar panel and that every cell has a little antenna looking for sunlight. What surprised Dr. Martin about this study, is that when the sun hits your skin, it stimulates the microbiome. This is another major discovery!
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode to learn how vitamin D and the microbiome are influenced by the sun!
Dr. Martin reviews an article about vitamin D that was recently published in the Toronto Star. The article says hospitals are seeing more vitamin D toxicity than ever before.
The article is misleading because those who got toxic were taking 50,000 IUs daily. No one should be taking such high concentrations unless for short-term therapeutic use. Since vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin it will accumulate in the body, but rarely does it turn toxic.
Dr. Martin also teaches on vitamin D and explains why it consistently gets negative reviews in today’s episode!
Dr. Martin shares a groundbreaking study out of the University of Helsinki in Finland. The study has found that a single course of antibiotics affects the gut microbiome of children.
The first line of the study says that fungus, candida, and yeast was growing in the microbiome of kids compared to the control group who had never taken antibiotics.
This discovery may be groundbreaking to the medical community, but Dr. Martin has been teaching this for years. He’s excited the results are seeing some ink and thinks every physician ought to get a copy of this study.
