TRANSCRIPT OF TODAY'S EPISODE
Announcer: You're listening to The Doctor Is In Podcast, brought to you by MartinClinic.com. During the episode, the doctors share a lot of information. As awesome as the info may be, it is not intended to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent any disease. It's strictly for informational purposes.
Dr. Martin: Well, good morning everyone. Once again, welcome to another live this morning. Hope you're having a great start to your day. Okay, let's get to some studies here. We talked about zinc last week and eat your steak. Eat your steak. I've always loved zinc guys. I never talk about it in terms of taking a supplement of it. You can do that. It's just, I'd rather you eat zinc and two new studies are showing it helps your immune system. We know that, okay? We know that, but it also helps to regulate your insulin. Did we know that? Not as much. Eat steak for your insulin. You know what? Hate steak cancer. You know what? Hate steak, diabetes. It hates it. Okay. Speaking of diabetes, study number two or article number two, this is just an article, okay? I flagged it because here's the headline. Managing diabetes is more profitable than curing it.
So what this article talked about, and the author is a physician. He was saying in the article that we knew the cure for diabetes a hundred years ago. So in the 1920s, we knew the cure for diabetes. You know what it was? Quit eating carbs. Lay off the sugar. That's a hundred years ago, and he said, it's buried because managing diabetes is more profitable than curing it. Here's me, okay, here's me. Here's my take on it. You get a modern day physician, a modern day physician. They're so poorly trained when it comes to food. It's almost like they wouldn't know the difference between a protein and a carb. They don't study it. Their mantra is everything in moderation. That's been around for a long time, guys, and that don't fix nothing. If you're diabetic. You've heard this on this program, many, many, many, many a time.
You have an allergy to carbs, you and carbs don't get along, so it's not moderation. It's elimination, right? Anyway, it was a very interesting article because their point was, Hey, we knew the answer to diabetes a hundred years ago when it was very rare, and it's not rare anymore. Okay? This is another article. Did I talk about this last week? I don't remember. I don't think so. A C-section. Babies need to be rubbed with Mama's Germs, headline, C-section. Okay? Now, in my book, I know I did it in a secret your doctor won't share with you, and I did it in the Metabolic reset. I talked about C-sections and the increase in autism. It's like crazy. The risk of autism, and I know they're talking about vaccines. They're talking about, here's me. I think it's leaky gut. Mommy got leaky gut, baby's got leaky gut, and there's other factors.
I know that, but one of the things that is pretty consistent is C-section babies are much more at risk for autism, and I've said this and I, man, did I ever get a lot of pushback? This is in my radio days, my radio broadcast days. Boy, you got a lot of pushback on this. I said, well, when a baby doesn't go through the birth canal, they're missing out. They're missing out on mama's bacteria and this article, Hey, it agrees with me. It's saying, C-section babies need to be rubbed with mama's germs. Yeah, they need that mucus in their face. The bacteria. Okay, here's another article, gut brain connection. Here we go with the gut again, here we go with bacteria again, listen to this. Dementia patients have four times more bad bacteria than healthy individuals according to a new study. Okay? I love these studies.
Dementia patients have a change in the microbiome in their brain, the gut brain connection, and guys, let me give you a little teaching again because you guys know this, but I got to do it again. How do you get leaky gut that gives you leaky brain or can give you leaky brain? How do you get leaky gut right out of the gate? Because that's important. Why do we see so much leaky gut today? The number one reason, and I bring that back to babies too. The number one reason is antibiotics. I always start there. Yeah, there's chemicals. We live in a toxic soup, but there's nothing that will cause leaky gut more than an antibiotic. The same thing that I preach this all the time. If you need one, take one. If you need an antibiotic, take one. Okay? For example, talked to somebody yesterday and they had diverticulitis, so their diverticulosis, uls, which is little pouches in the intestine, they get impacted with feces, and then you get a diverticulitis.
You know what? You better get an antibiotic. Otherwise, you could become sepsis. It can kill you. Am I against antibiotics? Absolutely not, but there's a big, but the problem with an antibiotic, it wipes out all bacteria. It doesn't know good from bad. All it does is it wipes it out. I've taught you this in five days, five, it'll wipe out your whole microbiome. You're kidding me? I'm not kidding you. It'll wipe it out. And when you wipe out your bacteria, you got good guys. They get wiped out. You know what happens? The Trojan horse comes in. You have an infiltration of yeast or fungus. We all have a little bit of yeast. It never hurts you a little bit, okay? But when it gets into the bloodstream, it can become very toxic, and the problem is you don't croak right away. You don't, and most autoimmune diseases are exactly what I just said to you, and again, there's other causes of what we call a dysbiosis having more bad guys than good guys.
What causes that? Well, the number one is antibiotics. Sure. All the chemicals, all the plastics, the environment, even stress to some extent, bad foods, feeding yeast with sugar and even anti-inflammatory over the counters like Tylenol, Advil, those kind of things, Motrin or whatever, they change your microbiome too, but there's nothing like an antibiotic and you got it. Just, okay, I need an antibiotic doc. Hey, I'm on your side, but make sure now you replenish. And that's the problem. People don't replenish their bacteria. Children taking antibiotics for an ear infection, for a throat infection, but if you take an antibiotic, you better replace that kid's good bacteria and what they're showing, look at down the road, listen to this study, dementia, type three diabetes, insulin resistance in the brain and leaky gut. It's type three diabetes. But they're saying here, when they look at the blood-brain barrier and what got across the blood-brain barrier is you got more bad guys than good guys.
And they don't even talk about fungus, but I will, because that's what they're finding out in the brain of those with dementia. Any neurological things, like you see, I'm a Y guy. Why did that happen? Why do we see so much more Parkinson's today? Why? I want to know why. Okay? Parkinson's has been around for a long time. Well, why is it through the roof? Now, a LS, remember Lou Gehrig's? Rare, never heard of it. I studied it when I went to school. Lou Gehrigs, you know what they said? Old man, rare in a lot of things in my old medical books that said, old man's disease. Now I'm an old man and I'm paying attention, but no, seriously, guys, why? And when they do autopsies on brains in Parkinson's and a LS, you know what? They find? A massive amount of heavy metal like mercury lead cad.
Why? Again, that's the question. Why do you see so much of that? Well, how did it get into the brain? So you ask the question why, and then ask another question. How did it get there? Leaky gut, leaky brain, and the Trojan horse, the yeast candida, it's a transporter. It's into the blood, and then it can cross the blood brain barrier with heavy metals, okay? The gut brain connection. And when they check the microbiome, they see a huge dysbiosis in the brain of dementia patients. You got to fix the gut. You got to regenerate the gut. You got to stop the leak. Got it? I was study number. What did we talk about four today? Okay, well, let's stick with Alzheimer's for a minute. Walking really makes a difference in Alzheimer's. Vitamin E exercise. And it's interesting, they follow 10,000 individuals and moderate exercise will do.
Guys, what do I say all the time? Move. Just move. Get moving, right? Because it helps. Exercise makes a huge difference in Alzheimer's. Get out for a walk, move. Now, again, I always put a little Dr. Martin spin on this. I want you to move and get strong. Get stronger, okay? Get stronger muscle. The more we study muscle, the more we realize how important of an organ muscles are. They're bins. They actually help to store glycogen, and the more storage space you have, the better it is. We already talked about many of times grip strength, how that is an indicator. They're talking about making it a vital sign like your blood pressure, your pulse, your body temperature and all that. Those are vital signs, but they actually talked about this and I am in a complete agreement with it. Your grip strength is a vital sign.
So they're saying, move. I agree. I say, get stronger. Do both. Do what you can, but do both. Really makes a difference for up here. Makes a difference everywhere. But up here, here's the headline. Walking really makes a difference in Alzheimer's according to study of 10,000 individuals. And here's another point they made in the research, consistency matters. Be consistent. Okay, guys, I've talked about this a million times, but I am a repeater. You know that I get tired of listening to myself, but repetition, repetition, repetition. That's me. But consistency too. That's really important. Guys. I told you my story about my dad being a diabetic, it was a huge part of me being so interested in nutrition because of my father. Diabetic changed his diet, changed his lifestyle, and he would the most consistent person, I mean to live with that. I mean, I was 16 years old when he came home and told us he was a diabetic.
And then I watched the changes in my dad's life. I tell a story in one of my books, medical Crisis, I think I told this story. I tell the story of two men, my dad and another man named Ed. It was one of his best friends, and Ed's son was a friend of mine. And I tell the story because it probably wasn't the same week, but in my memory, going back to when I was 16 in high school, it seemed like it was the same week that my father got diagnosed with diabetes and Ed got diagnosed with diabetes and his son, him and I were in high school together, and we sort of compared notes because we were friends. My dad got up the next morning and started jogging on the spot. I always tell people, jogging wasn't even invented yet in 1968 with nobody jogging.
You ran away from the police, but you weren't running. People were, I'm sure they were walking, but they weren't running. They weren't jogging. I never heard of that word, but my dad who got up the next morning after the diagnosis and he was running on the spot in our living room, and my mom kicked him out, get up. Whatcha doing? You're going to ruin our shag carpets. And dad, I'm looking at him like he's got two heads. I said, dad, does diabetes mean you're crazy too? I didn't understand what he was doing. He said, son, I'm a diabetic. I got to move. It's going to help my blood sugar. Okay? I was 16. What did I know? A month later? I said, dad, wake me up. I'm going with you to run. I thought I was going to die. I couldn't even get around the block the first time I thought I was going to die. Ed. On the other hand, nothing changed. My dad changed his diet. My mother was so strict with my father, you wouldn't believe it. My mother, she was the gustapo with my dad because my dad, he didn't become a diabetic for nothing. Amen. Oh man, he loved his sugar. He really did. But my mom, no, no, no, no, no. And she made him steak every night. We had our own meal, and then my dad would come home from the office and my mother made him steak and better not complain.
I live with that guys, okay? I've watched, I observed. I participated with my dad. I loved him. I was my hero. I wanted to be around him. And I listened. And then he said, son, it's sugar, diabetes. I never forgot that I went to school. I took 2000 hours to get my PhD in nutrition. You know what? I had to undo all of it. They didn't know what they were talking about. Even though it, look, I had to learn my vitamins and all that. It wasn't all bad, but there was some stuff. Well, it was moderation. Everything in moderation. That's nutrition. Even today wasn't true, but back to Ed, no changes. No change in the diet because my buddy was saying, how come your dad is doing that? Why? He said, he's got diabetes. It's sugar, diabetes, no more sugar. He said, my dad doesn't say that.
Anyways, a few years later, sad to say that Ed died from diabetes because diabetes affects your heart, diabetes affects your kidneys. Diabetes makes you 50% more likely to get cancer. Diabetes is bad news. Consistency matters. Forming new habits matters. It's one of the reasons for the reset. It'll form a new habit in you. It does. People realize, wait a minute, I didn't know sugar affected me. Like that says someone who tries the reset and 21 days in or before they go, yeah, you know what? Me and carbs, I guess we never really got along as much as I loved them, as much as I loved noodles and pasta and cereals and sugar and sweets and pastries and bagel, I thought muffins were good for me. And then you find out, nah, they're not. They're Martin. They're full of fiber. I say, yes. So what's that doing for you other than sending your blood sugar through the roof?
What's that doing for you? Giving you a bigger stool? Whoopy. Duy, that isn't healthy, and especially if you're a diabetic, you can't have that stuff. It's sugar, diabetes, and don't drink sugar, whatever you do. Anyway, okay, that's number five. I don't think I'll do six here. We'll do it tomorrow. A used percentage of adults have a condition that seriously affects heart disease. Yeah, that was an interesting study by a cardiologist. Okay, we'll talk about that. Okay, guys, I already get you ready for q and a Fridays, get your questions in. Maybe you ask a question about what I talked about here today. Okay? We love that. Okay, so send your questions in. Remember, you guys are telling the story out there so you can tell your folks, look at it. They can't join us live. They can always watch a replay of this on Facebook, or they can go to their favorite device and get the doctors in podcasts. Okay? Thank you for making it the number one health podcast in Canada, and now we want to make it to the top in the US of eight. That's all you guys, so thank you for that. We appreciate it. We thank you for the love that you show us. We appreciate it. Big time. Okay, I'm breathing again. We love you dearly. Talk to you soon.
