The Doctor Is In Podcast

There's a common belief that Alzheimer's is a disease of age. The older you get, the more likely you are to get the disease. Dr. Martin says this isn't true, and there's now proof to back it up.  A study out of Finland has clearly shown how insulin has a much higher statistical value than your age. What that means is that insulin is more likely to cause Alzheimer's than your age. Dr. Martin says t...

Dr. Martin recently listened to an interview of a consultant to Coca-Cola who became a whistleblower. He brought us into the meetings of the big conglomerate to expose how they manipulate data and how much money goes into lobbying the government.  Coca-Cola does 11 times more research than the National Institute of Health. They pay for research on their products and they're expecting something in...

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) recently conducted a survey that has revealed that most women don't really understand the cause of breast cancer. Women mistakenly think that genetics is the biggest factor in breast cancer.  Dr. Martin has often said that genetics load the gun, but they don't pull the trigger. A family member having cancer doesn't automatically mean you'll ge...

In this second part of Dr. Martin's series on the Super Bowl, he looks at offense and how to score points for your overall health. What can you do offensively that's really gonna help you? Dr. Martin says you need to start with food. There's nothing that will affect your body more than food. Food is fuel, and when you choose nutrient, protein, or fat dense foods, you're giving your body the best f...

With the Super Bowl on Sunday, Dr. Martin wanted to use the analogy of offense and defense to discuss your health.  When it comes to your immune system it's mainly on defense. When a bug, virus, or parasite is detected… its job is to stop it from getting through. Just like a team, the immune system is made up of multiple parts including your gut, your T-cells, your brain and your liver. Join Dr. M...

Dr. Martin has shared before how getting 20 minutes in the sun is equivalent to getting 10,000 IUs of vitamin D. But some new research on vitamin D is showing that you also get something else. In just 20 minutes of sun, you also benefit from a release of some 200 antimicrobials. So not only does vitamin D help strengthen your immune system, it's also providing a natural antibiotic, antiviral and a...

The World Health Organization has recently made a pretty significant statement. They have said that the number one threat to our health is now chronic degenerative conditions which are largely preventable.  Dr. Martin says this truly is a blow your socks off moment! It means for the first time in history, more of us are losing our lives to chronic and largely preventable diseases than to trauma, i...

Some of today's topics include: Decrease in bone density Dairy & inflammation Frequent stretching of legs Unexplained allergies General anesthetic killing brain cells Optimal daily levels of protein Fasting insulin vs. glucose tests Blood clots Reversing of gum loss Causes of low blood pressure  

Since 1980 the rates of obesity in North America have quadrupled! What has changed to make these numbers soar? Dr. Martin says it's because they changed the sugar. In the 1980s, high fructose corn syrup was approved for use in food. They went from a glucose to a fructose because it crystalizes well, it's inexpensive, and very addictive. Dr. Martin says the food industry knew exactly what they were...

A recent article is saying that beef consumption is down 40% since 1980. Dr. Martin knew that consumption of meat was down, but didn't realize it was this much.  The current narrative is that meat is bad for you, that it'll cause cancer and you should not eat it. Despite consumption being down, why is it that heart disease is up, diabetes is up, cancer is up? None of them are down. Join Dr. Martin...

Dr. Martin looks at some studies with bad news for statin drugs, antidepressants, and omega-6s in today's episode. Statin drugs lower LDL cholesterol. They do what they're meant to do, but a study says you're also increasing insulin resistance when you take them. Dr. Martin has always said you need cholesterol and this is another reason why you shouldn't take statin drugs. Antidepressants have bec...

You may remember the breakthrough study Dr. Martin shared a few months ago about how DHA omega-3 was able to shrink tumours. A real life case history has now been published where a man's cancer was put into remission. Dr. Martin shares the case history of a man with 4th stage lung cancer who fought his advanced prognosis with high doses of DHA omega-3. The patient was followed closely by his oncol...

Some of today's topics include: Low testosterone in men Healing of epithelial cells Probiotics stopping antibiotics from working Malabsorption of protein Polycythaemia (rubra) vera Loss of smell Anorexia Carrageenan Raynaud's disease Gallbladder stones  

You've more than likely heard Dr. Martin talk about leaky gut, but you may not have heard of dysbiosis. It's just another term for leaky gut syndrome, or leaky gut dysbiosis.  The number one cause of leaky gut in our world is antibiotics. They truly are the greatest discovery of the 20th century but they've become the curse of the 21st. The use of antibiotics will decimate your microbiome and must...

Dr. Martin says it's amazing what we're learning more and more about cancer. A new study is saying that cancer cells are much different than ordinary cells. Cancer cells have seven times more receptors for insulin than ordinary cells. So, what does this mean? Our cells, and especially the cells in our muscles and liver, have little receptors that are docking stations for insulin. Whenever we eat,...

Dr. Martin has mentioned before how health care in North America is a management system that puts little emphasis on prevention. They wait until you're sick before jumping into action! To receive an official diagnosis of diabetes, you need your blood glucose to be a certain number. By this time, you've been sick for some time. Diabetes is the last thing that happens in your body, not the first. Jo...

Dr. Martin gets asked all the time about the connection between salt and high blood pressure. That question bothers him because it was never true! Salt is actually good for you, and it's really important for your health! Now the type of salt Dr. Martin is talking about isn't your typical table salt. That's sodium chloride and all its minerals have been stripped away. Dr. Martin recommends Himalaya...

Some of today's topics include: Migraine headaches Insulin resistance vs. insulin sensitivity Osteoporosis drugs Intermittent fasting at age 76 Zinc & hair loss B12 injections Body washes & dry skin Hammer protocol for fighting a virus Vaseline on your skin Glucose dawn effect  

Some new studies came out the last few days that Dr. Martin says are quite interesting. Two of the studies are on probiotics. Researchers are realizing more and more the importance of the microbiome. One of the studies looks at the role of probiotics in colorectal cancer. Your gut is made of billions and billions of bacteria – 3 to 5 pounds worth – and they're seeing how antibiotics can destroy yo...

Did you know that 65% of the population has some form of chronic disease? Heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's and cancers are all considered chronic diseases. But did you know that 90 some years ago, in 1930, it was under 8%? What has happened that two thirds of the population now has some form of chronic disease? Dr. Martin says it's because our diets have changed. The introduction of seed oils an...

Dr. Martin looks at a new study on colds that's saying sugar makes you susceptible to getting a cold and makes colds last longer. Regular consumption of sugar, and especially high fructose corn syrup, will inevitably destroy your immune system. When you consume sugar, this study is saying that your white blood cells are essentially put to sleep, putting you at risk of catching a virus. Join Dr. Ma...

If you've listened to Dr. Martin for some time, you know he's not a fan of sugar. Two recent articles shared some interesting facts about sugar that Dr. Martin says are surprising, but not shocking. We now eat in two weeks the amount of sugar our ancestors 200 years ago ate in a whole year. The average North American is consuming 200 pounds of sugar yearly! This is also making us heavier. The aver...

Dr. Martin answers questions sent in by our listeners. Some of today's topics include: C60 antioxidant Folic acid Tinea versicolor Diabetes insipidus Vitamin D deficiency MTHFR gene mutation Yo-yo dieting & the heart Steroids vs. cortisone Gallstones Amino acid deficiency  

You've probably heard the myth that snacking is good for you, or about less calories in and more calories out for weight loss. We've all heard many myths about food, and in today's episode, Dr. Martin continues his series on debunking food myths. Dr. Martin says there's been a mantra for the last 60 to 70 years about eating less and moving more. The idea of less calories in and more calories out f...
