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. We appreciate you guys big time and we love you. Thanks for coming on here at The Doctor Is In podcast. Okay, let me just go through some studies. Some of them we won't spend a lot of time on. We'll just talk about them. I got nine at least. And then a new one I read this morning. I did a little dive on this one here. Where is it? 10. Okay. So let's see how far we get. Okay, this morning. Women who had the lowest omega-3, okay? Listen to this study. Women had the lowest omega-3 in their blood. You know how they measure omega-3? By your red blood cells. They can actually do a measurement of how much omega-3 you have in your body by testing your red blood cells. Okay? I wish they would do it. They should do it like they should do B12 and like they should do vitamin D, but they don't. Well, a lot of them don't.
Okay, so we need to figure out your omega-3 levels, okay? If you can. I like it. Now, women who had the lowest omega-3 levels measured by red blood cells had the highest brain decline. Low omega-3. Well, think about it, okay, because I talk about this so much with you guys. Your brain is fat, especially the DHA fat. Your brain's made up like that. Someone calls you fat head, you take it as a compliment. You want fat in your brain. You want fat in your eyeballs. It's healthy. Brain fat. So you measure omega-3. You can do it or you can have it done. And the lower the omega-3 in the blood, the faster the brain decline and mental health and they're recommending a thousand milligrams of omega-3.Well, I love high DHA. I like the EPA. I do. But I like the DHA because your brain is made up of DHA. Low levels of omega-3.
And it's one of my go to, because people ask me this all the time. I think I don't go past the day where I'm being asked, "Doc, what do you take every day?" Okay. Well, the foundational supplements and one of them is DHA. High DHA. I take that every day. Well, guys, I'm very concerned about my brain. You get to my age. It's a big factor. So I invest in my brain. That's the way I look at it. I invest in my brain. And you can have all the money in the world. And if you're not healthy. Anybody that knows a loved one with dementia, they know what I'm talking about. I mean, I'm doing everything I can to put everything on my side. I invest, including vitamin E, exercise, right? And DHA, omega-3. Anyway, okay, so that's one. One study. I don't know if they did any men. All I know is I'm reading the study on women. Ladies, listen, Linda's. Omega-3. Okay? Omega-3. Fat. Good fat.
Okay, number two. Your mitochondria. Okay this was an article. I really liked it. Based on research. And it says this, this was the headline. I kind of liked it. Your mitochondria, your battery packs are not designed to live on salad. This was the headline. You would think Dr. Martin wrote that. Okay? You want to have your salad, ladies? Have your salad. I don't care. Well, I care. But don't live on it. Okay? Don't live on it. Don't believe the nonsense that that's the best food in the world. Salad. No, steak. Better, much better. Eggs, much better. Dairy, much better than salad. Salad, you want to have a salad? Well, don't have it during the reset for 30 days. Okay? And there's reasons for that. But you want to have a salad? I don't care. But don't live on it. That's The Doctor Is In Martin Clinic memo. In this article, quoting research on the mitochondria, your battery packs. Every cell in your body's got batteries. Your solar panels. You know how much I love vitamin D.
But guys, this is what it's saying. Okay? Your mitochondria don't depend on salad. They depend on eggs, meat, and cheese. Four. Let me give you the list that they give that's important for your mitochondria. Where have you heard this before? B12. Heme iron. Choline. Creatine. CoQ10. That's what they mentioned in this article. The mitochondria thrive with CoQ10. That's found in the animal kingdom. The mitochondria thrive with heme iron. Popeye lied and people died. Okay? You've heard me say that before. You remember Popeye? Young people, who's Popeye? Well, Popeye was a sailor man and he had forearms that were huge. And he said he got that by eating spinach. No, he didn't. You get that when you eat meat and eggs and good dairy. You don't get heme iron, guys, in vegetables. It's not found. You can get iron in spinach, but you don't get heme iron. The one that your body needs and your mitochondria needs. You need that. Choline. Well, what's famous for choline? Eggs. Brain. Have a hundred eggs a week. Who cares? It's good for you. Right? Creatine. How do you get creatine? Eggs, meat and cheese. It's in the animal kingdom. It's not in the plant kingdom. Neither is carnazine. I'm sorry. It's not in there. So don't buy it. Your mitochondria are not designed to run on salad. That was the article.
Okay, number three. I don't know how many we're going to get to today, but we're commenting a little bit. Melatonin, don't take as a supplement. Now this was studies done on melatonin. I love melatonin, but not as a supplement. Your body makes melatonin. See? The sun is out. You notice that? Well, behind me. Melatonin, you get in the sun. You don't even have to get in the sun. You just have to see a bright, sunny day and your body tops up melatonin. Then you go to sleep at night. Wear a mask on your eyes. Pitch black. Why? Melatonin. See, I was never big on melatonin. And guys, melatonin as a supplement's been around for a long time. In my radio days, I used to get asked about melatonin almost every day. And I used to tell people, I don't necessarily like it as a supplement. I'll tell you why. As a supplement, I thought that there were many side effects of it. And number two, it had a shelf life, meaning that some people found melatonin to be effective at the start to help them sleep, but then they found that didn't work anymore. And that was my clinical experience too.
And now this study is saying there's a link to heart disease and the supplement of melatonin. It's not talking about melatonin. Your body makes melatonin, especially in your pineal gland, your third eye. Your body makes it. That's why I don't want you to wear sunglasses when you go out in the sun. At least not for the first 10 or 15 minutes. Let your eyeballs see the sunlight. Now don't go looking in the sun. Even though it's 93 million miles away, enjoy the environment with the sunlight, getting melatonin as long as you don't have sunglasses on. It comes in through your eyeball to your third eye, your pineal gland. Okay, so the sun gives you melatonin. It gives you vitamin D too. As long as you've got your solar panels exposed, your arms and your legs. Well, you can't do that in 90% of the North America. Good luck. Right? Okay. So melatonin, here's the headline. Don't take it as a supplement. I agree with that. I don't like it. Not as a supplement, but I do like melatonin. So don't misquote me. Okay? Don't misquote me. Bright sunshine, dark room. When you go to bed, you'll make more melatonin.
Okay, here's one, Can-Am. It's a Can-Am study. Canadian and American study. 74% of Canadians and Americans are deficient in vitamin D. Hello? Yes. I think it's higher than that. But this study is saying 74%. I've seen researchers say 90%. And I'll tell you what. They're deficient in vitamin D, 74%, but you should be optimized in vitamin D. How many North Americans have optimized vitamin D? There you get into the 90%. And this is one blood test that you can do. Get your vitamin D, your dehydroxy done. It's worth it. I'm telling you, find out where you're at. And then you'll be able to adjust your dosage of vitamin D. Are you taking vitamin D? You should be. It's another go- to. Vitamin D. The most important vitamin is the sun. Vitamin D.
And we talked about this in an email yesterday. If you don't get our emails, go to martinclinic.com and sign up for our emails. Okay? Why is that important? Because we put this study out yesterday on telomeres. You know what telomeres are? Well, they're within your DNA and it's like a wick on a candle, right? Or a little plastic tip on your shoelaces, preserves the lace. Well, I actually, let me see if I have this, okay? Because I wrote about this. Yes, I do. Yes, I do. I wrote this for the complex language system. You see this? It's a pamphlet. This comes from a book that was written and they got me to write about the designer of the universe, God. So they asked me to write this article and I got it right here because they quote me in this. Okay. This one here, I talk about telomere.
And what I say in the article that I wrote is, when I was in school in the 1970s, what's a telomere? Never heard of it. Well, I didn't even know what it was. And it wasn't until 20 years ago or whatever that they discovered. I don't even think it was 20 years ago. I think it's less than that. I made a big deal of it on my radio show. Telomeres. You can measure. You can measure these little wicks. And you know of a candle wick. Well, if the wick goes down, your candle is going to go out. Well, it's the same thing with telomeres. It tells you it really is an aging and you can measure your aging by your telomeres. I write about it. But this study is showing, and we talked about this yesterday in the email, that vitamin D preserves your telomeres. Okay? It doesn't lengthen them, but it protects them. And they showed it. Okay? You only age one year out of four if your vitamin D levels are optimized and they can measure that by telomere length. Isn't that crazy? Telomere. I never learned that in high school. I didn't learn that in biochemistry. I didn't learn that in biology, that your DNA had telomeres, little wicks. Isn't that something?
So, it's anti-aging. Vitamin D. They always told you, "Get out of the sun. It's bad for you. You're going to age. Your skin's going to age.You're going to have wrinkles because of the sun." No, you're actually protecting yourself. It's an anti-aging. And where have you heard that before? Okay. That was number four. Americans, Can-Am. Canadian and Americans are very low. Almost 75% of them deficient. But I'm going to tell you, it's 95% don't have optimized levels of vitamin D. And you want to optimize your levels of vitamin D. That's how it's so anti-aging. And I've talked to you about this many a time. Anti-cancer is your vitamin D levels. Your dehydroxy. It's a blood test. It's science.
Okay, number five on my hit parade, where we are here. Okay. We got a few minutes here. Let's do this. This is an article on research on sunscreens. Now, you and I have talked about this many a time. I bring you back to my high school days where I almost blew a lab up. True story. Because I was fooling around. I told you in high school, I majored in recess at school. I just never took it seriously until I got to university. Okay? I just didn't. I was into sports. Okay? I hated school. Anyway, high school chemistry, the lab fooling around. I just put this in with this in. Nothing happened. Oh, until you put the heat to it. Then you put the Bunsen burner to it. And I'm telling you, I put near blew up the lab. Stupid. Okay? Stupid. But when you add heat to chemicals, and again, I say it too often, guys. I know that. I told you so. John the Baptist in the wilderness. Don't put sun screen on. It's chemicals. And okay, that's bad. Add heat. It really bad.
And now, and I call it the Johnson & Johnson effect. Okay? Why? Because they put out the first sunscreens and them and the dermatologists got together and they made the sun the boogeyman. Well, lather up your kids. That sun's going to give you cancer and it's bad. I might have been the lone wolf, but I was yelling. Stop it. That's crazy. You need the sun, you need vitamin D and don't put chemicals on your skin and then add heat. Bad things happen. And guess what? They've pulled more products. The FDA pulled hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of sunscreens off the shelf. Why? Carcinogenic. They said it. They were carcinogenic. And here's me. Okay? I went against the grain, but I said it anyways. You know why we see so much skin cancer today? It's not the sun. It's not the ozone layer. Okay? It's not that. It's sunscreens. That's why you see so much skin cancer today. So don't use it.
If you're going to use sunscreen, use a natural one. And I'm a big guy on covering up. Cover up. Look, you're going on a holiday. I get it. You want sun? I get it. Of course. Just don't overdo it. That's all. Cover up. I didn't even tell you the study. I didn't even tell you the headline. Okay? Listen to what I said. Sunscreens enter the bloodstream within 24 hours. Your sunscreen, you think it's on your skin, but you add heat to it and it goes in. It's dermal. You know, you see it now today, transdermal patches and they're giving lots of medication by the skin. Just put a patch on. I saw a person the other day, they had an angina patch on with nitroglycerin right on their skin. It was a slow release. They do it. Well, must work. Skin must transport across into the bloodstream, otherwise it wouldn't do it. Well, sunscreens within 24 hours is in your blood. It gets in your blood. You know what your blood does, eh? It travels. Gets in your blood. You got 60,000 miles of blood vessels. It travels from your brain to your toes and everywhere in between. Not good. Not good. And they're finally catching up to what I've been saying for years. Sunscreens enter the bloodstream within 24 hours.
Okay, let's stop there for today because we're halfway through. Okay? I put a little note here. Halfway through the ones that I want to talk about. Okay, I'm keeping you up to date, guys.
