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.
Dr. Martin continues his review of a recent 30-year comprehensive Framingham study looking at early mortality rates.
Medicine continues to see cholesterol as the boogeyman. Patients are put on statin drugs to lower their cholesterol, which goes against everything we've ever been taught. If you want to die young, continue hammering your cholesterol down.
Join Dr. Martin as he teaches on what you need to be doing to prolong your life, not shorten it!
Dr. Martin reviews a 30-year comprehensive Framingham study that looked at mortality. What Framingham does is review all the studies on a given topic. Whatever the research shows is what they report. They remain unbiased because they’re not benefiting financially.
This recent study was looking at early mortality rates and what people who die young have in common. Some of the things included low cholesterol, high triglycerides, low vitamin D… all things that Dr. Martin has been consistent in reporting.
Want to die young? Then continue doing the things reported in this study. Learn what they are in today’s episode.

He also discusses the keto diet versus the Reset in today’s episode.
If you live in Canada or the northern US states, you’re more than likely low in vitamin D! And if you’re not supplementing during the dark months of December, January and February, it’s pretty much guaranteed you’re low in vitamin D.
Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode to learn the signs to look for and what to do to optimize your levels of vitamin D!
You may have heard of eggs referred to as nature’s perfect food. They have a nearly perfect profile of protein, fat, and no carbs. In nutrition, eggs were considered the gold standard especially in the 1970s when they were used to compare other foods.
Join Dr. Martin as he does an overview of all the benefits of eggs in today’s episode. Yes, eggs are famous for cholesterol, but it’s the right kind of cholesterol, HDL!
Dr. Martin also shares two studies; one about plant protein and mortality, and the other about causes of death attributed from the virus.

What are macros, and why should we care about them? Dr. Martin teaches about macros in today’s episode and why we need to understand them.
If you’re trying to lose weight and are consuming seeds and nuts, or snacking all the time, you’ll have a difficult time losing that weight. You need to understand that protein is king, and getting that high quality fuel is essential to being healthy.

Join Dr. Martin as he talks about his favourite topic… coffee! He shares 10 reasons why you should drink coffee and why it’s more than just a drink.
Coffee has been vilified over the years with people saying it’s not good for you… but did you know that coffee has over a thousand phytochemicals? That’s right, it’s an antioxidant helping you rust proof your insides.
Dr. Martin calls coffee the true vitamin C. People think he’s joking around, but it’s true… coffee is at least 50 times stronger than vitamin C, because of its polyphenols.
If you love coffee like Dr. Martin does, you don’t want to miss this one!
The four big killers in society today continue to be chronic diseases. Heart disease and stroke, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes. They are all metabolic diseases, meaning they’re diseases caused by lifestyle.
Dr. Martin shares a huge finding that shows how cerebrovascular insulin receptors are defective in Alzheimer's. What that means is that Alzheimer’s is insulin resistance in the brain. It's diabetes of the brain!
