A recent study has identified nearly 300 chemicals, many in consumer products, that could increase the risk of breast cancer. This isn't anything new and is just confirming what we already know. Dr. Martin says we live in a completely different world with estrogen coming out of both ears! Estrogen is a growth hormone that makes a woman, a woman, and it also makes a man a woman too. Oftentimes men...

A1C is a blood test you can get done to see the progression of atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in your blood vessels. The higher the number, the more plaque you have. If someone has a high A1C, doctors almost always attribute it to high cholesterol, when it's actually blood sugar. A1C is glycated hemoglobin, and it shows the average glucose (sugar) that's attached to the hemoglobin. Dr. Mar...

The vast majority of people in North America have extremely low levels of cholesterol. Contrary to what your doctor or cardiologist says, you actually want to increase your cholesterol.

An interesting study out of Boston Medical Center is showing how 50% of cancer patients were obese and 30% were already diabetics. The study shows how cancer cells and fat cells don't like each other, or as Dr. Martin says, they're 'frenemies'.  Frenemies are people who are friends but they really can't stand each other. In this study, it was shown how the cells communicate, and how fat cells took...

When Dr. Martin wrote The Metabolic Reset, his primary goal was not to fix obesity, but to fix insulin resistance. If you fix insulin resistance, you fix the bigger problem! The problem is us. It's the food we eat and that has sent our diets to "H-E double hockey sticks" as Dr. Martin likes to say! We have seen a massive increase in non-viral, non-bacterial disorders in the last 50 years. The elep...

Instead of getting to the root of the problem, we give out 'magic...

Join Dr. Martin as he teaches about leaky gut and autoimmune in today's episode! In Dr. Martin's experience, the moment the word 'gut' is used, 99% of people respond that they don't have digestive symptoms. But what people don't realize is that disease really does start in the gut, and this includes autoimmune disorders. There is a continuous battle going on in our gut with our good bacteria and t...

Saturated fat has been given a bad rap over the years. In today's episode, Dr. Martin teaches on fats and why saturated fat is superior. Dr. Martin makes the point that if saturated fat is bad for you, then why is mommy's breast milk made up of 50% saturated fats? It was in the 1960s that baby formula became popular, and eventually even medicine admitted there's nothing like breast milk. So the qu...

Mexico has a huge problem with what Dr. Martin calls diabesity. Basically you're pre-diabetic and already on the road to destruction. A recent headline asked what Mexico knew that we didn't. This comes after the country seized 380,000 boxes of Kellogg's cereals. The reason? The boxes featured cartoons designed to lure children into eating the cereal. It's illegal to do that in Mexico! Join Dr. Mar...

Researchers are pretty certain they've found the cause of multiple sclerosis. MS is an autoimmune disorder and it's much more common today than it ever used to be.  The researchers have shown that Epstein-Barr, a common type of the herpes virus, is what triggers MS. The virus essentially primes the immune system to start attacking the body's nervous system. The herpes virus is latent in your syste...

It's a condition where you develop small pouches in the transverse colon of the...

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...

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...

Over 50 years ago now, saturated fat started getting a bad rap as doctors thought it was clogging up your arteries.

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. J...

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 r...
