The Journal of the American Heart Association has published a study showing the connection between heavy metals and the heart. They’re saying that metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum can cause atherosclerosis leading to heart disease.

Dr. Martin says it doesn’t matter where you go in the world, you’ll be exposed to heavy metals. What’s most important though, is getting rid of those heavy metals in your body. Join Dr. Martin as he discusses how to do this in today’s episode.

How do you end up getting sick? Dr. Martin says it happens when we’re not getting enough of something, and he’s got nine examples to share in today’s episode. Do these things and you’re bound to get sick.

Dr. Martin has released his new book, Sun, Steak & Steel and in it, he’s included a Q&A about the Metabolic Reset. Over the years, Dr. Martin has received a lot of questions about the Reset, and he answers some 40 questions in the book.

The Reset isn’t a diet per se but is instead about changing your fuel, changing the food you eat. Join Dr. Martin as he gives an overview of the Metabolic Reset in today’s episode.

Dr. Joseph Lister performed the first antiseptic surgery in 1865, but he may be better known for developing the mouthwash Listerine. Dr. Martin explains why you should switch your mouthwash, and not ditch it.

Dr. Martin shares an article that made false claims about red meat. The article claimed that eating red meat causes colon cancer. Consumption of red meat is down 40% in North America over the last 50 years, but during that same time, colorectal cancer has increased by 300%. How can eating meat cause colon cancer?

Join Dr. Martin as he reviews this article and also shares several studies he found interesting in today’s episode.

It’s crazy to think that the average American drinks 765 grams of sugar every 5 days. It’s the equivalent of 17 cans of Coke, and it turns out that sweetened beverages increase endometrial cancer by 78%. That’s what a new study on sugar is saying.

Dr. Martin always tells his listeners to never, never drink sugar. Part of the problem is that high fructose corn syrup is used in nearly all sweetened beverages. Dr. Martin says it’s like sugar on steroids and it’s highly addictive!

At the Martin Clinic, it’s believed that the 3 seeds of disease are leaky gut, high circulating insulin and oxidation. All of these lead to inflammation which researchers would agree is the cause of disease.

Some new studies on the brain and glucose have recently been released and Dr. Martin says they are earth shattering news! It’s been discovered that those with Parkinson’s have a defect in how the brain uptakes sugar. Also, how glucose is metabolized plays a role in Alzheimer’s and those with major depression.

Join Dr. Martin as he shares these groundbreaking studies in today’s episode!

In the last episode, Dr. Martin discussed how our bodies have the ability to regenerate. Over the course of a year, we essentially get a new body. 

An astute listener followed up with Dr. Martin, asking why we end up dying if our bodies regenerate. The answer is that our blood is tainted. It breaks down and oxidizes and eventually rusts us out. Dr. Martin uses the example of a speed governor on a truck to explain why we ultimately have a shelf life.

Dr. Martin also discusses studies on the microbiome. Researchers are finally making the connection that disease really does start in the gut.
