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.

You may think losing one night of sleep isn’t a big deal, but a new study is suggesting otherwise. Just one night of bad sleep decreases the activity of your T cells which in turn affects your immune system. This leaves you more susceptible to catching a virus.

Sleep is very important and 70-80% of the population never get into the four stages of sleep. They’re not getting the sleep they need and Dr. Martin says a lack of sleep has become an epidemic!

Join Dr. Martin to learn the 3 areas our bodies are most affected when we’re sleep deprived.

Brown University is saying in a recent study that fish is what’s causing melanoma. Dr. Martin says the study sounds fishy and explains why he doesn’t agree with their deduction.

There are 3 basic types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer, and Dr. Martin agrees that melanoma rates have really skyrocketed. But, not because of mercury in fish. It’s because of high fructose corn syrup!

Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode as he teaches on the real cause of melanoma and explains why cases are now so prevalent!

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 because of smoking. It’s because of aldehydes!

Join Dr. Martin as he explains why cancer is on the rise and how it’s linked to metabolic disease. It’s now being reported that 9 out of every 10 people are metabolically unwell!

Gout has been around as long as people have been. In the annals of history, some famous people such as Napoleon have suffered from gout.

Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode as he refreshes your thinking and explains why the condition is more prevalent today. A hint is that it has to do with sugar!

New article appearing in the Journal of American College of Cardiology is saying the higher your LDL is, the lower your risk of cancer. You read that right! The higher your cholesterol, the lower your risk of cancer!

For years and years, medicine has made cholesterol the bad guy. Doctors were trained to hammer down cholesterol and the lower the levels, the better. For whatever reason, that thinking is now changing.

Join Dr. Martin as he shares several articles that came out in health news recently!

Did you know that 50 years ago, the average grocery store in North America had between 600 to 800 food items on their shelves? Today in 2022, it’s 30,000 items!

The food industry is made up of a conglomerate of about 10 companies that own it all. They’re not interested in our health but instead making us into consumers for life. Their bottom line is more important than the health of their customers.

Join Dr. Martin as he discusses several articles about how the food we eat has changed over the last 50 years.

In each and every cell in your body there’s a miniature battery pack called the mitochondria. Your mitochondria make fuel from the food you eat and turn it into energy.

Several new studies are revealing that the type of fuel you eat is important in powering your mitochondria. Bad fuel like carbs and sugars will give you poor energy, whereas good fuels like steak optimize energy output.

Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode as he explains why our brain cells need steak to function at their optimum level!
