Dr. Martin continues his teaching on mental health, focusing today on the role cortisol plays. If you remember from previous teachings, cortisol is a stress hormone. When cortisol is continually secreted, it can mess up body functions from your brain to your toes if it goes on for any length of time. In Dr. Martin's opinion, depression is a perfect storm. One of the keys to that storm is the secre...

We don't really think of our hearts unless something is going wrong. We actually take for granted the hundred thousand times our hearts beat in a day!

Dr. Martin isn't against cardio, he used to jog all the time,...

Back in the 70's, there was only one type of major liver problem and that was cirrhosis of the liver caused by alcohol. Today, you may have heard of non-alcoholic fatty liver, or NAFL for short.

Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your health. Any movement is good. Walking, biking, swimming… whatever you like, it's all good. But there's an exercise that's best.

Our muscles act like bins for sto...

There's reports of a new strain of antibiotic resistant E. coli that's been found in chicken. We all know to make sure chicken is fully cooked before eating, but that doesn't always prevent the transfer of bacteria.

Dr. Martin recently read an article that reviewed a study on nutrition coming out of Stanford. The headline said that half the world is starving while the other half is trying to lose weight. This statement would actually be comical if it weren't so sad! The study has concluded that nutrition is not about how much you eat, but instead what you eat. Dr. Martin agrees with this as he's always said i...

Dr. Martin shares two new studies on processed foods and diets in today's episode.

He has also said how only water is water when it comes to hydration. It turns out that protein is necessary to keep water and sodium inside your blood vessels.

Glutathione is important for your liver. At the Martin Clinic, we have a saying that glutathione is like Velcro for your liver. It's the master detoxer that removes harmful toxins from our bodies. The problem for most of the population is that we don't make enough glutathione. Our livers are so gummed up from the sugars and crappy carbs we consume. What we're told is 'healthy eating' doesn't match...

We all know what stress is. There isn't anyone that doesn't experience stress. The problem is when our stress is prolonged, it becomes dangerous to our bodies. When we are stressed, our adrenals produce cortisol. Cortisol is fine in the short-term, but it's the constant drip, drip, drip over a long period of time that is very damaging. Too much cortisol affects all parts of our bodies. Join Dr. Ma...

An article came out in The Lancet, one of the most respected medical journals, saying that cancer deaths from metabolic risk grew the most over the last 10 years. Dr. Martin says it's an astonishing headline but unfortunately the mainstream media won't be picking it up. We live in a different world now with some cancers occurring so rapidly. Lung cancer is still the number one killer, but not beca...
