A study coming out of Japan has found a link between bad food choices and allergies. The university sponsored study had students with allergies clean up their diets by eliminating seed oils, fast foods and soft drinks. They instead consumed meat and fish, eggs and dairy and almost invariably saw their allergies go away. Dr. Martin says he's seen the same result with the Reset. People with terrible...

Dr. Martin previously wrote a book on the three kingdoms of food. The first is the animal kingdom, the second is the plant kingdom, and the third is man-made food. The third kingdom of food is found in the middle aisles of your grocery store. It's the prepared foods containing crappy carbs and bad oils and includes cereals and 99% of all breads. This kingdom of food isn't really natural at all! Jo...

On average, 2,600 people die daily of a heart attack or stroke in the United States. We're not winning the war on heart disease, and Dr. Martin says the big reason is that we're looking for love in all the wrong places.

The article Dr. Martin read says those men would not qualify for the US Military if they wanted to!  The question we need to ask is why. Why are so many men classified as obese? Dr. Martin says that the food pyramid is upside down. We have enough history to show that we've been part of a failed experiment for well over 5...

Depression and food go together. That's what a new study linking depression with insulin is saying. When you have insulin resistance, your risk of depression doubles!

We can't control everything in our lives, but we can control the types of food we put in our mouths. Join Dr. Martin in tod...

B12 deficiency is much more prevalent today than it used to be. Back in the 50s and early 60s doctors used to give B12 shots all the time. Today, you almost need to be dead before they give you B12! There is a reason for it, and Dr. Martin calls it the hijacking of labs. Modern medicine relies on blood tests and established thresholds to determine a course of action. When it comes to B12 their lim...

Dr. Martin again looks at brain health, focusing on Alzheimer's disease in today's episode. When it comes to Alzheimer's research, it has long been believed that beta amyloid proteins are the cause of the disease. The article Dr. Martin shares looks at how research got hung up on beta amyloids.  It turns out that autoimmune disorder is more likely the cause. Join Dr. Martin as he unpacks the study...

Dr. Martin reviews several studies on brain health in today's episode. One study is saying how cognitive decline can be the result of not enough protein in the diet. Understand that our brains are energy factories. They need proper fuel to function!  The best protein for our brains is animal protein, but when you live on carbohydrates, you're sure to shrink your brain. Our brains shrink over our l...

Dr. Thomas Seyfried is a well known scholar in cancer research and professor of biology at Boston College. He recently wrote an article saying that cancer is not a genetic disease but instead a metabolic one. Dr. Martin agrees 100% with his statement! For the last 50 years, cancer has been seen as mutation of cells and not as a disease of metabolic health. Dr. Seyfried says that once people unders...

Dr. Martin shares an article he enjoyed about the almost instant benefits of ditching sugar. From losing weight, to reducing the risk of diabetes, and to lowering your blood pressure, these are just some of the instant benefits. Since the 1990s, we've seen a 300% increase in fatty liver. You get a fatty liver from sugar and the worst is fructose. High fructose corn syrup came into existence in the...

Dr. Martin loves coffee! If you've followed him for any length of time, you know this. He flagged two more studies about coffee over the weekend, and one of them has to do with fat cells. There are two types of fat cells. White fat cells are the storing machines, whereas brown fat cells help to metabolize and burn off other fat cells. For both of these cells to function, they need blood. If you ga...

The study from last episode showed how 1 in 8 people over the age of 65 will get Alzheimer's. It also showed how having low levels of vitamin D resulted in profound and rapid decline in cognitive function. Dr. Martin says for your brain to operate properly, it needs vitamin D!  

A new study out in the States is saying that 1 in 8 people over 65 will be diagnosed with Alzheimer's. This number is worse than we thought, but it's not surprising considering Alzheimer's is the number 3 cause of death in North America! When it comes to Alzheimer's, the brain shrinking is primarily due to metabolic syndrome. It starts with your food choices, and when you're continually eating sug...

Dr. Martin looks at a new study on vitamin D. This study is quite interesting because it looks at E-cadherin, an adhesion molecule that's the glue that holds your cells together. Without proper levels of vitamin D and calcium, this molecule can malfunction. Join us in today's episode as Dr. Martin explains the significance of this new finding. Dr. Martin also looks at a study on vitamin D and depr...
