A new study out of Sweden is saying that 40 cents of vitamin D saved the cost of hospitalization by 21 days! Researchers gave one group of participants 10,000 IUs daily, and the other 2000 IUs daily. Dr. Martin shares the results of the study in today’s episode.

Dr. Martin says if vitamin D was a pharmaceutical it would have won a Nobel prize, but because it’s a vitamin, there’s no money in it. If researchers would give it a chance they’d see how essential vitamin D is to every organ in our bodies!

The number one food allergy is milk and It’s estimated that close to 70% of the population has some form of lactose intolerance.

Dr. Martin looks at an observational study on acne and dairy. The study looked at people that had acne and stopped consuming dairy. Milk is not what it was in the 1970s and you shouldn’t be drinking it today.

Dr. Martin then discusses one of his favourite topics… cheese! He doesn’t want you drinking milk but wants you eating cheese. Learn why in today’s episode!

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are used for acid reflux and conditions such as GERD and Barrett's esophagus. Many people have trouble with their stomachs with acid coming up. It can be a very unpleasant condition and literally so painful at times, it mimics a heart attack.

A new study is showing that people who take PPIs are much more susceptible to diabetes. Join Dr. Martin as he breaks down the study and looks at insulin resistance as a possible cause.

Every now and then, Dr. Martin brings you a knock your socks off moment, and this is one of them. The American Heart Association is now linking non-alcoholic fatty liver to heart disease!

Dr. Martin says this is maybe the first time he’s seen the connection, at least in mainstream medicine. In the 70’s there was cirrhosis of the liver, but never non-alcoholic fatty liver. The study goes on to say that 1 in 4 people, including children, in North America have a fatty liver.

Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode to understand why the linking of fatty liver and heart disease is so significant!

A new study is saying that 90% of the population is walking around with sticky blood vessels. What does this mean? Dr. Martin teaches on insulin resistance, or high circulating insulin like we call it at the Martin Clinic.

In every chronic disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, autoimmune… the elephant in the room is food. The food we eat causes our pancreas to secrete insulin, and when we’re eating crappy carbs and sugars, this insulin never shuts off. When this happens we become insulin resistant and in most cases, you’re already a diabetic.

Learn how sticky blood vessels occur and why they’re dangerous to our health!

A new study is saying red meat will shorten your life. Of course Dr. Martin disagrees and he uses the “motorcycle gang theory” to explain why this claim is false.

When guys join a motorcycle gang, they generally die young. They tend to love red meat, 90% of them smoke, and nearly 100% of them drink hard. So, to say that red meat shortens your life and to exclude the other factors, makes the claim invalid. This is the motorcycle gang theory – to look at the obvious and not consider the other factors.

When Dr. Martin talks about vitamin C, it’s usually about coffee, but in today’s episode he talks about the actual vitamin, ascorbic acid.

It was Linus Pauling who put vitamin C on the map. Before him, vitamins weren’t popular at all in North America. He actually won a Nobel Prize in medicine for his work on vitamin C.

Dr. Martin shares some points from a recent article he read on vitamin C and provides his thesis on the topic.
