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 become so prevalent in our society today. A study is saying that long term use of SSRIs have made antibiotic resistance worse. It means when you really need an antibiotic, it may not be as effective. Dr. Martin says this is bad news.

We know that bad oils cause an inflammatory response, and a study is showing how omega-6s can also cause your cells to become lectin resistant. This means you’ll feel hungry all the time, and Dr. Martin says this can contribute directly to diabesity!
