What happens when a successful computer scientist's life is turned upside down by severe health issues? Meet Martin Pytella, a functional medicine expert and metabolic typing coach, who shares his incredible journey from battling mercury toxicity to transforming over 12,000 lives. In this episode of the Telewellness Hub podcast, we uncover Martin's inspiring story of self-discovery and dedication to understanding the root causes of health problems, ultimately leading him to a career dedicated to restoring vitality in others.
Unlock the secrets of how your diet, genetics, and internal pH balance are interconnected. Martin delves into the science behind macronutrients—carbohydrates, fats, and proteins—and their impact on our bodies' acidity and alkalinity. Learn about the roles of oxidizers and the autonomic nervous system in regulating our responses to food and stress, and discover practical methods for determining your metabolic type. Through real-world examples and challenges, Martin provides actionable insights into tailoring your diet to fit your unique genetic makeup.
The episode also tackles the bigger picture, including the industrial complex's role in public health. From the rise in obesity and heart disease to the controversial use of treatments like Ozempic, Martin doesn't shy away from exposing the system's flaws. We discuss how understanding your metabolic type can profoundly impact mental health, potentially reducing reliance on mind-altering prescriptions. This episode is packed with practical advice for safeguarding your and your loved ones' health amidst a system often rigged against us, setting the stage for our next conversation on improving your home environment and daily habits.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome, friends, to the Telewellness Hub podcast.
I'm Marta Hamilton, your host.
It's a space where listening isnot just a simple passive act,
but it's an act of self-care.
And today we get to check inwith Martin Patella, who is a
proven functional medicineexpert and metabolic typing
coach.
His mission is restoringvitality to you and the planet.
(00:22):
He uses his vast knowledge andexperience to help thousands
around the world discover howthey can improve their health.
Martin has coached over 12,000clients very impressive since
2011,.
And his courses have over19,000 students.
Natural healing is an art andnot an easy feat.
(00:42):
In today's fast food societythat has us eating foods grown
in depleted soils, overcooked,over-processed or hormone
injected and loaded withantibiotics, foods in our
supermarkets can't give the bodywhat it needs.
Even if we eat only organicallygrown raw vegetables and
organically grown meats, thenutrients are simply not there.
(01:03):
So today's supplementation is anecessity, and so, martin,
welcome.
I'm so excited to talk to youtoday.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I'm really happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yes, my background is as we shared before we hit
record is in health psychology.
I'm a counselor, but I'm alsoreally as a parent, as a person
who grew up with a father inagriculture, his PhD in
agriculture when I saw you, yourbackground, what you offer, and
just when thinking about theconcerns about our diet, our
(01:35):
nutrition, the intersectionbetween what we eat and how we
feel and what we think, I justI'm so grateful for you taking
the time to share your insightand your wisdom.
And before we dive into some ofthat and I shared, I should
preface by saying that I sharedbefore we hit record.
Like this might need to be amulti-episode series, so we'll
(01:56):
try to get as much as we can now, but there's so much knowledge
here that I'm excited foreveryone to hear.
Before we dive into that, I'mcurious if you don't mind
sharing with us a little bitabout why do you do the wellness
work that you do.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Right, you know, classic typical wounded hero
journey.
I grew up happy.
I grew up my dad was aveterinarian.
I believed in science and themedical method and all of that,
and I trusted the professionals.
And I came in naive and at 25years of age, with freshly
(02:33):
earned health insurance anddental coverage.
I walked into a dentist'soffice and I said I haven't had
a checkup in a couple of years.
What do you want Check me out?
And the first question out oftheir mouth was do you have
dental insurance?
I proudly said yes, I do.
I didn't realize that was ohyeah, he won't care what we do.
(02:59):
And I didn't.
And so I trusted this guy withwhite coat and diploma on the
wall.
And well, they told me that Ineeded 12 fillings because my
teeth were not right and theinsurance plan covered mercury
amalgam fillings not the fancierback when this was 1977,
(03:25):
composite fillings.
And so I said, oh sure, goahead.
And in four sessions they putin 12 mercury fillings and then
my health took a total nosedive.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
My original education is computer science and
business administration, so Iwas working in the field of
computer science and that thenemerging personal computers.
I was there and we were teachingpeople what computer aided
drafting and publishing was atthe frontier yeah, oh yeah,
(04:01):
young, young days, and so I wasearning well, but my health was
taking a total nosedive.
First my body started breakingdown Carpotanol, plantar
fasciitis, dental problems,periodontal disease, and then
allergies and then metabolicproblems, like it was piling on
(04:25):
and I kept seeing professionalsfor it.
I saw an orthopedic surgeonthat didn't help Chiropractic.
I became quite addicted tochiropractic because, as my body
was falling apart, they werealways able to put it back
together.
But it wouldn't hold, so I hadto go in every three, four days
(04:45):
to put it back together.
Or it wouldn't hold, so I hadto go in every three, four days
to put it back together, else Ibecame very debilitated.
And I saw naturopaths for theallergies and, and I started
learning things and at somepoint I think it was about seven
or eight years in I had thisrealization that there's no way
that these professionals aregoing to help me.
So I went and started reading.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Which is long before internet.
This is like early 80s, yeah,to late 80s, and so there was
libraries and books, and I havea whole lot of books.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
More than what's behind of that.
I've read and reports andstudies and the name it, and so
at some point I finally had thisillumination.
In business consulting, you doalways ask if there's a problem,
you ask what's causing it.
In medical world, they don't.
They say oh, you have a symptom, let's work on that.
(05:45):
So all these people would youknow oh, you have a symptom,
let's work on that.
All these people would you knowyou have a back problem, we'll
put the back together.
Oh, you have an allergy?
Well, we'll take someantioxidants or antihistamines
or whatever.
I remember the doctor tellingme yeah, yeah, we have Benadryl
for that.
And I asked so is that going tocure me?
And he said, no, that's alifetime.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, that's a very hopeless place to be, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, that's not how I was trained and that's not
what I was going to accept.
Right right.
At some point I gained enoughunderstanding and I figured out
what the problem was, which wasmy entire metabolic system in
the body was breaking downbecause of the high levels of
mercury and I had some lead too.
(06:33):
So once that set in, I figuredout how to undo it and I figured
out the whole methodology, thewhole methodology.
So at some point I decided topay it forward.
I wanted to.
I switched my careers frombeing a business management
consultant to being a health nutand talking to people.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I'm sure, very transformative process you went
through.
Transformative process you wentthrough, but I imagine how
rewarding to see thetransformation and healing on a
root cause level, like youmentioned, for thousands.
I mean what a way to spreadwellness into the world.
I mean truly, and that's why,I'm just so fascinated when
(07:20):
people turn their pain into theopportunity to share with
humanity.
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, this is where your schooling kicks in.
I also, along the way, becamequite educated in the way of how
the head works.
Right, it's not what happens,it's what you do with it, it's
how you respond to the inputs,and I absolutely refused to be a
victim.
I decided that I had to own theproblem, and that's actually
(07:53):
the single one thing thatdifferentiates a person with a
chronic health problem the onewho gets better and who does not
is how they perceive themselves.
The victim perception is notvery helpful.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So, speaking of that, I'm curious if we could dive in
.
Oh, there's just so much I wantto ask, but maybe for those
listening in for the first time,they've never even heard of
this idea of looking at likeyour metabolic type.
Can you share a little bitabout cause?
I'm anticipating a multi-serieson this, so if we could start
there just to share a little bitabout how this experience led
(08:33):
for you to deep dive intoresearch, use your skills, your
training to to put thisknowledge and and create
something, a path forward, aplan it sounds like for you to
find healing.
And how did that become a coreof looking at how your genetics
(08:53):
and lifestyle can intersect forhealth?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Right, yeah, in 2010, 2011,.
I fell upon this.
This whole thing was publishedin 1987.
Based on a whole lot ofprevious research.
It was known that people aremore acidic or more alkaline,
but it was not really understoodthat it was actually affected
(09:22):
by how we eat foods, and it'sthe macronutrients carbohydrates
, fats and proteins and thecombination of those will affect
how the internal works, reactand creates a pH shift and
creates a pH shift and theinternal pH venous blood pH is
(09:47):
either more alkaline or moreacidic in response to what we're
eating, and so we knew we hadthese terms from before.
There was this term calledoxidizer.
We had a fast oxidizer and slowoxidizer.
The fast oxidizer is somebodywho's really good at converting
food into energy.
They're typically the hunter,genetics hunters and fishermen.
(10:07):
And the slow oxidizers werepeople who were poor converters
of food into energy.
They needed to be fed thefarmer food or the tropical food
type of things.
And then we had another systemwhich was known as the autonomic
nervous system, which is thecontrol mechanism of all things
(10:29):
related to the digestion andmetabolics and whatever, and we
had either sympathetic side orparasympathetic side dominant,
and they actually controlwhether you are in the fight or
flight the sympathetic side, orrepair and digest the
parasympathetic side, and thatalso regulates all the pH, or is
(10:53):
affected by the internal pH.
And so here comes the importantbit when you're overly acidic,
when you're overly acidic, let'sdefine the middle.
The middle is 7.35 on the pHscale or minus 25 millivolts on
the ORP scale.
If you're drifting intoalkalinity, you're going to be
(11:17):
procrastinating, and if you gofurther out, you're going to be
despondent.
And if you go further, furtherout, you're going to be
despondent, and if you gofurther, further out, you're
going to hit depression on theacidic side, first you'll be
impatient, then you'll lose yoursocial graces, then you hit
anger and road rage and if it'soutward directed, that that's
(11:41):
the rage out.
If it's inward directed, you'llbe anxious, and that would be.
You could be anxious about yourpast, reliving your failings
and going over that, or anxiousabout your future, just painting
pictures in your head just howbad things are going to turn out
right and so we, and this isthen affected.
(12:04):
This way the fast oxidizer ismade more alkaline, or actually
all oxidizers are made morealkaline by fats and proteins,
and they're also made acidic bycarbohydrates.
But the autonomics are flipped.
They are more alkal, outlinedby carb, and more acidic by fats
(12:26):
and proteins.
So it's sort of like beingleft-handed or right-handed
right, you can't play aleft-handed guitar.
If you're a right-handed person, it's just not going to work.
The strings are in the wrongplaces and everything.
Yes, fascinating to explain itfurther.
So we now have people reactingto a meal depending on how it's
(12:54):
combined.
If it's rich in carbs, youcould be drifting into
alkalinity or acidity, dependingon your genetics.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
That's the bottom line.
So here you are eating food andone of us is becoming anxious.
Another person is becomingdespondent from that same meal.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yes, I'm really thinking about my own personal
life.
My husband and I have talkedabout this.
I feel like I had no idea therewas a whole world that would
study this.
And that makes sense, becausewe've done the genetic ancestry
map and we know we shared nogenetic overlays and we've
talked about well, probably yourancestors ate totally different
(13:42):
foods than my ancestors, right,and I think our reactions to it
would be different, but we'resharing the same meals, right,
and that makes sense.
And then add the layer ofprobably now the way our food is
made Like that's another layer.
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, so the best example I can give you is a
cocktail party where alcohol ismade Like that's another layer,
yes, yeah.
So the best example I can giveyou as a cocktail party where
alcohol is served.
The people who get acidified byalcohol those are the oxidizers
.
They will start getting louderand then argumentative and then,
if they keep going, they'llactually pick a fight.
Keep going, they'll actuallypick a fight.
(14:27):
The autonomics they start withbeing a little too emotional,
they start oversharing, sayingthings they wish they didn't say
, and then they start cryingabout things and then they go to
sleep wow, yes so you can watchnext time you go to a cocktail
party where there's alcohol.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Be watching yes.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You watch.
This person reacts tocarbohydrates by becoming more
acidic.
And this one by becoming morealkaline.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That's fascinating.
How do you even go aboutfiguring out what type you are,
or if you tend to go more acidic?
I mean, I'm sure it's.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You can do it.
You can do a direct challengelike eat some fat, like take a
spoonful of coconut oil and lickit right off the spoon and
within 15 minutes you will haveyour reaction to fat.
And so if that drives you intothe anxiety kind of thing, then
you're autonomic dominant.
If it drives you into feelingmore peaceful and calm, then
(15:26):
you're an oxidizer.
And then you can do an oppositechallenge.
You can just do a glucosechallenge.
Like I mentioned, alcoholthat's a fine source of carbs,
but you can go eat a banana anddrink some orange juice or have
a bowl of porridge or somethinglike that, right, and that's a
(15:46):
straight hit of carbs and youwill have your answer out.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
The way I react to carbs is Wow, and this is huge,
then, in terms of your foodchoice, for your mental health
and your mindset and everything.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
And also now you know your antidote.
So if you are, for example,feeling anxious and you know
that you're an oxidizer, youknow you must reach for some
fats to calm yourself down.
Or if you happen to be justtotally lazy, not wanting to do
anything, and you know you're anautonomic, you know you're too
alkaline, you need to hityourself with some fats.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So it's always oh yeah, it's a very empowering
thing too, then it's anempowerment for the individual
to take also some sense ofcontrol, if you will, over their
own health.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
And here it goes.
75% of all prescriptions thatare filled are for mind-altering
substances, either dealing withanxiety or depression.
Let that sink in.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Wow, that's a huge.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Probably 80% of that is correctable with diet alone,
not diet Choices Right.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Okay, you can have a potato.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
That's a straight carb.
Yeah, you can have a potato,that's a straight carb.
You can put butter or sourcream or bacon bits on it.
That's fats and proteins.
They are balancing each otherout, okay a bowl of rice with a
salad.
That's all carby.
(17:31):
Pile on some olive oil, pile ona piece of fish, salmon,
something like that.
That's fats and proteins.
Now you're steering.
All of a sudden, you have atool that lets you stay in the
middle of the road rather thanbeing in the ditch.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Wow, I'm just thinking of all the implications
for our own, of course, mentalhealth, but also the statistics
for children.
Children are showing somereally concerning rates as a
therapist myself who's worked inschools and with kids for
anxiety depression.
It's huge.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
ADD behaviors are largely food driven.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I've seen the emerging research on sleep and
ADHD.
Right, maybe there's sleepapnea or maybe it's sleep, but
we don, you have to get out ofit and you need to switch into
the rest-repair parasympathetic,otherwise you will not fall
asleep.
You'll be sitting there wired.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
And you think, about everything.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
You're tired but wired.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yes, yes, yes.
So with food, you need to firstknow am I autonomic or am I
oxidized?
Oxidizer must push fats,autonomic must push carbs to
calm down.
The most calming mineral, ofcourse, is magnesium.
The most calming food ischlorophyll, which happens to be
(19:18):
also rich in magnesium.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Wow, yeah, be also rich in magnesium, wow, yeah.
So when you talk about thingslike magnesium, I'm thinking
also like supplementation, right, so?
And this is one of your areasof expertise, so what is the
role of supplementation inachieving?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
this.
Look at this one.
Yeah, so the autonomic nervoussystem is driven by calcium
magnesium balances.
Calcium is the driver towardssympathetic magnesium, toward
Paris.
So with every musclecontraction, calcium is the
contraction, magnesium is therelaxation.
(19:56):
Right, so your heart, yourheart, 60 beats a minute.
Calcium, magnesium, calcium ohwow, yeah, and calcium magnesium
calcium magnesium.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh, wow, yeah, and I'm even thinking the brain, I
mean there's all kinds ofthere's so much involved, to
have our thoughts to make, tomove our body wake up, push
calcium.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
If you have a overly active elimination peristalsis,
something like diarrhea calciumwill slow it down.
Magnesium will speed it up.
If you tend to be constipated,you need to push magnesium.
If you're nervous, you need topush magnesium.
If you're overly sedated, youneed to push calcium wow, yes
(20:49):
and then, of course, there'smore right.
So there's the eating for yourblood type, peter the atom.
Oh, he put that out so we haveblood type o, a, b and a b.
What he discovered is thatthere are genetic misses, as in
you do not have the equipment todigest certain foods.
So, in short, like, for example, blood type O's do badly on
(21:13):
grains and dairy cow dairy, theblood type A's don't do great on
chicken, blood type B's don'tdo great with pork and shrimp.
Well, go figure, people fromMiddle East, like Jewish and
Arabs, they are mostly bloodtype Bs.
It's right in the Old Testamentdo not eat pork and do not eat
(21:34):
shrimp.
Well, I can confirm for youthat you don't have the
equipment to do well on that.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Right, yes.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
So that is also part of if you tell us your blood
type, we'll tell you how tostructure your immune system, as
in what you delete, what youdon't need.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Wow, can I ask so?
Because you've helped so manypeople and you have courses.
I forget the platform you haveyour courses on Udemy Udemy.
You have helped so many I meantruly thousands of people.
What does it look like forsomeone wanting to do a session
(22:16):
with you or start this journeyand they decide you know what I
want to be healthy.
What would that look like?
I know that every individual isdifferent.
Right, because I'm excited,because I feel like I could
refer clients who don't have aclinical diagnosis right, so we
(22:37):
can get into like looking forproblems and help.
I've been someone who's had towork through insurance as well
and do I get a session or haveto prove that they need sessions
and looking at?
Yeah, that's for that'sprobably like a series two on
that, but I'm so excited aboutwhat you can do.
(22:58):
What does that look like forsomeone who wants?
To work with you do.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
What does that look like for someone who wants to
work with you, right?
So well I have.
The philosophy is if you wantto do the work yourself, I'll
give you the tools.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Or if you want a shortcut, if you want the, do it
for me.
Okay, I have some tools.
They will cost you money, butI'll get you to the goal faster,
yeah.
So if you don't have the funds,but you have the will, I offer
you all the bits and pieces thatyou can actually learn and
figure out what you need tofigure out.
(23:34):
And if you're one of theexecutive types who wants to,
just hey, come on, just tell me.
I say, well, it'll cost you.
And here we go, and it's notexpensive.
I mean hundred dollars.
Buys you the test and aninitial orientation oh, wow then
we need to you can.
(23:55):
We don't charge lots, we chargeno, because even if I'm thinking
of even if you have insurance.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I mean, I've had to pay at least that just for to
meet my, you know for a visit.
You know, just for a visit,yeah we're, we're about to copay
, yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I always laugh because people contact me and
say well, I met this functionaldoctor and he says yeah, yeah,
yeah, we can do this.
Please come up with sixthousand dollars, we'll do the
tests and I have all the answersfor you.
I talked to people who spent$30,000 and didn't get any
further ahead because they justkept testing and testing, and
(24:32):
testing.
I'll give you an illustration.
A lot of problems happen becauseof the industrial age.
People are toxic.
There is a lot of heavy metalsand volatile organic compounds
and plastic type of things in usand they cause a lot of
(24:53):
dysfunction, dysregulation, theyblock normal expression of the
internal systems, of theinternal systems.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
So nobody is going to get right until they detox.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
So you can spend a lot of money testing whether you
are or aren't toxic or howtoxic you are.
Yes, or you can just do thedetox In general.
You can spend $300 on an ICP-MSurine test that tells you
what's in you, or you can spend$150 on a hair trace mineral
analysis.
And then you need to do theactual detox, and that's usually
(25:35):
about $300, $400.
And then, if you really need toknow, then you need to spend
the test again.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Like if it was effective.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, but at the end of the detox you'll feel better
because your functionality orfunctioning, is going to start
improving.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Right, right, yeah, that's fascinating.
So yeah, the detox.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
So the process?
Yeah, you asked me how do we dothat?
Yeah, I was just so.
Yeah, the detox we do a sessionhow to now teach you to
understand what's going to go onafter you eat a specific meal,
and then we have these toolsthat help you steer better, and
we keep narrowing until you arepretty clear.
(26:35):
You will know how to run yourlife with that.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Wow, that's incredible and so empowering.
I think that's huge.
Unfortunately, sometimesmedical model can be very
disempowering and I love thatyou're bringing empowerment to
people about your metabolic typeand things for weight and I
(27:05):
mean this is so much more thanweight.
It sounds like it's so muchmore than weight.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, we didn't get to mention or I didn't get to
mention the second part of thetest.
We will also answer.
What's your endocrine dominance, of which there are four
thyroid, adrenal, pituitary and,in women, also could be ovarian
.
And the thyroid types usuallycrave starchy foods and gain
(27:35):
weights with carbs and loseweight with fat.
So the thyroid types on a ketodiet will be skinny, but the
adrenal types on that same dietwill be gaining weight because
their food attraction is usuallysavory and they gain weight all
over, not on the belly buteverywhere.
And then the pituitary they areattracted to start to creamy
(28:03):
foods like whipping cream, icecream, fluffy stuff, brain foods
they tend to be the nerdy types, their body type is sort of
like a cabbage patch doll modeland for them the most healthy
food are off.
All as in the brain, hearttongue, all the hype you're in
(28:25):
food.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Oh wow, that's very cool.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Now we of course have all of these glands, all of us
right.
So, the dominant will push youinto one of the four corners.
You still have the wholepicture, but you will have a
preference how your body willact in its most.
What is it common mode?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I'm going to ask a question that may be a little
bit loaded, but it's a topic ofconversation, a hot topic of
conversation, which is Ozempic.
What are like all those forweight control?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
What have you seen?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
in research when it comes to people trying.
Yeah, because it's pretty new.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
You know you're throwing in a very, very big
question.
I don't know just how deep Iwant to go with it.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Okay, yeah, I realize there's a lot there, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Well, the starting point is this the industrial
complex which consists ofbanking, food, agriculture,
fertilizers, insurance, medicine, all of that they all are
motivated financially to keepyou sick, heal person, lose a
(29:44):
client or a customer.
They don't want to heal you,they want you sick and on the
drip.
So they grow foods, food-likesubstances, that keep us quite
sick.
I mean, the data is showing itclearly.
The rates of obesity, heartdisease, autism, all of that,
(30:06):
those are all rising.
They're rising mainly becausewe have such crappy foods sold
in stores that are then causefor illness, which is then
healed not healed, treated bythe medical system.
So Ozempic is a fantasticsolution for overeating.
(30:28):
So the the food industry isproducing highly addictive food,
like substances that are ultraprocessed that you end up eating
and they force you to eat morethan you should have, or then
you naturally would have.
So you're now gaining weight.
So now we're going to use atechnological solution in the
form of this thing that numbs orblocks your stomach from
(30:52):
working right.
Stomach paralysis is a commonside effect of taking a zempig.
Well, don't get me started onthe side effects Thyroid cancer,
pancreatitis, blah, blah, blah.
The problems that are going tocome with this are huge.
(31:13):
But our society has beentraining people to demand an
easy button.
Push the easy button.
Don't make it hard.
Help me quick.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Right, and probably too, like you mentioned.
Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt, butalso, like you mentioned,
martin, in the beginning, wetrust people who have the
diploma, the white coat, andthere are wonderful physicians
out there.
I know that there's a place, aspace of course, but I think
sometimes, like your experience,where you present with an issue
and you are trusting theirsuggestion and you had the
(31:57):
long-term effects of that, Ihear your protective heart for
people who may come to aprovider, and this is the best
for me, because this is whatit's what I've been told and
it's easy and it's the paththat's I can check off and for
insurance maybe, and but, but Ihope.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, well, you know to say this, most doctors
probably go to school thinkingthat they're going to be helping
people.
Yeah probably go to schoolthinking that they're going to
be helping people.
Yeah, but because the entireeducation system and the
prescription system and thepharmacies and whatever is owned
by the cartel, they really justbecome salespeople for drugs.
(32:37):
And the only thing they'retaught in their school is not
nutrition, they're taughtprescription.
So they diagnose a problem andprescribe for it, and they do
not go for the cause, they gofor the symptom.
So if your symptom is obesity,ozempic is a wonderful solution,
but you should be asking whatis the cause of this obesity?
(33:02):
And it is food that's too richin calories and too poor in
nutrients Food-like.
I call it food porn.
It addicts you because it feelsin your mouth that you want to
eat more of it.
It's designed that way.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Right.
So it's not your fault in a way,right, and what you're saying
now, now that we have thetechnology to measure what's
going on in the brain, what'sgoing on in the body with these
foods, it's really what you'resaying.
I'm sure it was like veryradical when you first started
(33:43):
diving into, like you said,there was no Google to go search
up a lot of these articles.
I mean, we now definitely havethe technology to show what
you're saying to the point where, well, some of it right, but to
the point where, you know, I, Ilook at like for me, as a, I'm
thinking as a mom with youngkids, I look at what's in the
cafeteria, I look at what foodsare in the grocery stores here
(34:06):
that are banned in othercountries because of their
ingredients, because, yes, theycan become altered to be more,
like you mentioned, addictive orI mean there's no carcinogenic
or toxic ingredients and it'salarming.
It's alarming.
So we need people like you tobring some of this information.
(34:32):
Some people listening right now.
This might be the first timethat they've heard some of this.
For me, I didn't know aboutlooking at your metabolic type
and looking at your blood andlook at the alkaline.
I hadn't.
It wasn't until I started doingresearch for this episode that
I learned more.
So you, this might be blowingsomeone's mind, if you're
(34:53):
listening and it's blowing yourmind, I mean it's I'm sure
there's so much to look into.
What would you say for those,especially like parents I'm
thinking parents and because wetend to, you know, do things for
others before we might do forourselves, especially as parents
yeah, yeah, very good.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Well, you have the right instincts.
If you're a mother, you'regoing to die for your child
right.
You're going to do everything.
You will kill yourself tryingto make sure your child is right
, which is the correct instinct.
The dna is programmed toprocreate right.
The next generation has tosurvive.
(35:35):
If they don't, we're done.
Well, the dna is done right so,uh, what do you do?
Well, number one, you need torealize that the system is
rigged against you.
Products like hygiene andlaundry and furniture and car
(36:03):
and everything those are allmade with no regard to how it
affects you.
The number one environment youneed to protect is the
microbiome within within you andwithin your child, and if that
microbiome isn't developedcorrectly, the whole thing goes
bad.
One of the worst things are whydo we put chlorine in water?
(36:29):
To kill microbes?
If you drink chlorinated water,you're killing the internal
environment.
The other really horribleantibiotic is called Roundup or
glyphosate.
That thing is now used on foods.
It's used on wheat, lentils,chickpeas and probably other
things.
(36:50):
So, if you are taking even justtrace amounts of this thing into
you and you are, because thisthing is water soluble and it's
on foods.
Therefore you are killing themicrobiome.
If you're killing themicrobiome, you'll have
dysbiosis and, for example, gofind the study autism or ADD or
(37:16):
whatever is associated withspecific microbiome
misconfigurations.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yes, I am seeing some of that emerging research.
It's there In peer-reviewedjournals.
It's there too, you know it'sthere, and with anxiety is a big
one too.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
So there is a lot to be said about the diet and
environment and how you treatyourself and what you know about
yourself and how you startinteracting with your family,
with your food, with everythingaround you, but it's a big story
, so maybe we should just pausehere and start at the beginning
(37:56):
next time.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Absolutely.
Thank you so much, martin.
Stay tuned, listen in on thenext episode, where we're going
to dive into what you can do inyour home, in your environment,
looking at the big story of howthis impacts our life.
Thank you so much, martin, forbeing a part of our wellness
journey today.
Welcome, friends, to the Telewellness Hub podcast.
I'm Marta Hamilton, your host.
It's a space where listening isnot just a simple passive act,
but it's an act of self-care.
And today we get to check inwith Martin Patella, who is a
proven functional medicineexpert and metabolic typing
coach.
His mission is restoringvitality to you and the planet.
(00:22):
He uses his vast knowledge andexperience to help thousands
around the world discover howthey can improve their health.
Martin has coached over 12,000clients very impressive since
2011,.
And his courses have over19,000 students.
Natural healing is an art andnot an easy feat.
(00:42):
In today's fast food societythat has us eating foods grown
in depleted soils, overcooked,over-processed or hormone
injected and loaded withantibiotics, foods in our
supermarkets can't give the bodywhat it needs.
Even if we eat only organicallygrown raw vegetables and
organically grown meats, thenutrients are simply not there.
(01:03):
So today's supplementation is anecessity, and so, martin,
welcome.
I'm so excited to talk to youtoday.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I'm really happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yes, my background is as we shared before we hit
record is in health psychology.
I'm a counselor, but I'm alsoreally as a parent, as a person
who grew up with a father inagriculture, his PhD in
agriculture when I saw you, yourbackground, what you offer, and
just when thinking about theconcerns about our diet, our
(01:35):
nutrition, the intersectionbetween what we eat and how we
feel and what we think, I justI'm so grateful for you taking
the time to share your insightand your wisdom.
And before we dive into some ofthat and I shared, I should
preface by saying that I sharedbefore we hit record.
Like this might need to be amulti-episode series, so we'll
(01:56):
try to get as much as we can now, but there's so much knowledge
here that I'm excited foreveryone to hear.
Before we dive into that, I'mcurious if you don't mind
sharing with us a little bitabout why do you do the wellness
work that you do.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Right, you know, classic typical wounded hero
journey.
I grew up happy.
I grew up my dad was aveterinarian.
I believed in science and themedical method and all of that,
and I trusted the professionals.
And I came in naive and at 25years of age, with freshly
(02:33):
earned health insurance anddental coverage.
I walked into a dentist'soffice and I said I haven't had
a checkup in a couple of years.
What do you want Check me out?
And the first question out oftheir mouth was do you have
dental insurance?
I proudly said yes, I do.
I didn't realize that was ohyeah, he won't care what we do.
(02:59):
And I didn't.
And so I trusted this guy withwhite coat and diploma on the
wall.
And well, they told me that Ineeded 12 fillings because my
teeth were not right and theinsurance plan covered mercury
amalgam fillings not the fancierback when this was 1977,
(03:25):
composite fillings.
And so I said, oh sure, goahead.
And in four sessions they putin 12 mercury fillings and then
my health took a total nosedive.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
My original education is computer science and
business administration, so Iwas working in the field of
computer science and that thenemerging personal computers.
I was there and we were teachingpeople what computer aided
drafting and publishing was atthe frontier yeah, oh yeah,
(04:01):
young, young days, and so I wasearning well, but my health was
taking a total nosedive.
First my body started breakingdown Carpotanol, plantar
fasciitis, dental problems,periodontal disease, and then
allergies and then metabolicproblems, like it was piling on
(04:25):
and I kept seeing professionalsfor it.
I saw an orthopedic surgeonthat didn't help Chiropractic.
I became quite addicted tochiropractic because, as my body
was falling apart, they werealways able to put it back
together.
But it wouldn't hold, so I hadto go in every three, four days
(04:45):
to put it back together.
Or it wouldn't hold, so I hadto go in every three, four days
to put it back together, else Ibecame very debilitated.
And I saw naturopaths for theallergies and, and I started
learning things and at somepoint I think it was about seven
or eight years in I had thisrealization that there's no way
that these professionals aregoing to help me.
So I went and started reading.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Which is long before internet.
This is like early 80s, yeah,to late 80s, and so there was
libraries and books, and I havea whole lot of books.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
More than what's behind of that.
I've read and reports andstudies and the name it, and so
at some point I finally had thisillumination.
In business consulting, you doalways ask if there's a problem,
you ask what's causing it.
In medical world, they don't.
They say oh, you have a symptom, let's work on that.
(05:45):
So all these people would youknow oh, you have a symptom,
let's work on that.
All these people would you knowyou have a back problem, we'll
put the back together.
Oh, you have an allergy?
Well, we'll take someantioxidants or antihistamines
or whatever.
I remember the doctor tellingme yeah, yeah, we have Benadryl
for that.
And I asked so is that going tocure me?
And he said, no, that's alifetime.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, that's a very hopeless place to be, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, that's not how I was trained and that's not
what I was going to accept.
Right right.
At some point I gained enoughunderstanding and I figured out
what the problem was, which wasmy entire metabolic system in
the body was breaking downbecause of the high levels of
mercury and I had some lead too.
(06:33):
So once that set in, I figuredout how to undo it and I figured
out the whole methodology, thewhole methodology.
So at some point I decided topay it forward.
I wanted to.
I switched my careers frombeing a business management
consultant to being a health nutand talking to people.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I'm sure, very transformative process you went
through.
Transformative process you wentthrough, but I imagine how
rewarding to see thetransformation and healing on a
root cause level, like youmentioned, for thousands.
I mean what a way to spreadwellness into the world.
I mean truly, and that's why,I'm just so fascinated when
(07:20):
people turn their pain into theopportunity to share with
humanity.
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, this is where your schooling kicks in.
I also, along the way, becamequite educated in the way of how
the head works.
Right, it's not what happens,it's what you do with it, it's
how you respond to the inputs,and I absolutely refused to be a
victim.
I decided that I had to own theproblem, and that's actually
(07:53):
the single one thing thatdifferentiates a person with a
chronic health problem the onewho gets better and who does not
is how they perceive themselves.
The victim perception is notvery helpful.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So, speaking of that, I'm curious if we could dive in
.
Oh, there's just so much I wantto ask, but maybe for those
listening in for the first time,they've never even heard of
this idea of looking at likeyour metabolic type.
Can you share a little bitabout cause?
I'm anticipating a multi-serieson this, so if we could start
there just to share a little bitabout how this experience led
(08:33):
for you to deep dive intoresearch, use your skills, your
training to to put thisknowledge and and create
something, a path forward, aplan it sounds like for you to
find healing.
And how did that become a coreof looking at how your genetics
(08:53):
and lifestyle can intersect forhealth?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Right, yeah, in 2010, 2011,.
I fell upon this.
This whole thing was publishedin 1987.
Based on a whole lot ofprevious research.
It was known that people aremore acidic or more alkaline,
but it was not really understoodthat it was actually affected
(09:22):
by how we eat foods, and it'sthe macronutrients carbohydrates
, fats and proteins and thecombination of those will affect
how the internal works, reactand creates a pH shift and
creates a pH shift and theinternal pH venous blood pH is
(09:47):
either more alkaline or moreacidic in response to what we're
eating, and so we knew we hadthese terms from before.
There was this term calledoxidizer.
We had a fast oxidizer and slowoxidizer.
The fast oxidizer is somebodywho's really good at converting
food into energy.
They're typically the hunter,genetics hunters and fishermen.
(10:07):
And the slow oxidizers werepeople who were poor converters
of food into energy.
They needed to be fed thefarmer food or the tropical food
type of things.
And then we had another systemwhich was known as the autonomic
nervous system, which is thecontrol mechanism of all things
(10:29):
related to the digestion andmetabolics and whatever, and we
had either sympathetic side orparasympathetic side dominant,
and they actually controlwhether you are in the fight or
flight the sympathetic side, orrepair and digest the
parasympathetic side, and thatalso regulates all the pH, or is
(10:53):
affected by the internal pH.
And so here comes the importantbit when you're overly acidic,
when you're overly acidic, let'sdefine the middle.
The middle is 7.35 on the pHscale or minus 25 millivolts on
the ORP scale.
If you're drifting intoalkalinity, you're going to be
(11:17):
procrastinating, and if you gofurther out, you're going to be
despondent.
And if you go further, furtherout, you're going to be
despondent, and if you gofurther, further out, you're
going to hit depression on theacidic side, first you'll be
impatient, then you'll lose yoursocial graces, then you hit
anger and road rage and if it'soutward directed, that that's
(11:41):
the rage out.
If it's inward directed, you'llbe anxious, and that would be.
You could be anxious about yourpast, reliving your failings
and going over that, or anxiousabout your future, just painting
pictures in your head just howbad things are going to turn out
right and so we, and this isthen affected.
(12:04):
This way the fast oxidizer ismade more alkaline, or actually
all oxidizers are made morealkaline by fats and proteins,
and they're also made acidic bycarbohydrates.
But the autonomics are flipped.
They are more alkal, outlinedby carb, and more acidic by fats
(12:26):
and proteins.
So it's sort of like beingleft-handed or right-handed
right, you can't play aleft-handed guitar.
If you're a right-handed person, it's just not going to work.
The strings are in the wrongplaces and everything.
Yes, fascinating to explain itfurther.
So we now have people reactingto a meal depending on how it's
(12:54):
combined.
If it's rich in carbs, youcould be drifting into
alkalinity or acidity, dependingon your genetics.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
That's the bottom line.
So here you are eating food andone of us is becoming anxious.
Another person is becomingdespondent from that same meal.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yes, I'm really thinking about my own personal
life.
My husband and I have talkedabout this.
I feel like I had no idea therewas a whole world that would
study this.
And that makes sense, becausewe've done the genetic ancestry
map and we know we shared nogenetic overlays and we've
talked about well, probably yourancestors ate totally different
(13:42):
foods than my ancestors, right,and I think our reactions to it
would be different, but we'resharing the same meals, right,
and that makes sense.
And then add the layer ofprobably now the way our food is
made Like that's another layer.
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, so the best example I can give you is a
cocktail party where alcohol ismade Like that's another layer,
yes, yeah.
So the best example I can giveyou as a cocktail party where
alcohol is served.
The people who get acidified byalcohol those are the oxidizers
.
They will start getting louderand then argumentative and then,
if they keep going, they'llactually pick a fight.
Keep going, they'll actuallypick a fight.
(14:27):
The autonomics they start withbeing a little too emotional,
they start oversharing, sayingthings they wish they didn't say
, and then they start cryingabout things and then they go to
sleep wow, yes so you can watchnext time you go to a cocktail
party where there's alcohol.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Be watching yes.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You watch.
This person reacts tocarbohydrates by becoming more
acidic.
And this one by becoming morealkaline.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That's fascinating.
How do you even go aboutfiguring out what type you are,
or if you tend to go more acidic?
I mean, I'm sure it's.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You can do it.
You can do a direct challengelike eat some fat, like take a
spoonful of coconut oil and lickit right off the spoon and
within 15 minutes you will haveyour reaction to fat.
And so if that drives you intothe anxiety kind of thing, then
you're autonomic dominant.
If it drives you into feelingmore peaceful and calm, then
(15:26):
you're an oxidizer.
And then you can do an oppositechallenge.
You can just do a glucosechallenge.
Like I mentioned, alcoholthat's a fine source of carbs,
but you can go eat a banana anddrink some orange juice or have
a bowl of porridge or somethinglike that, right, and that's a
(15:46):
straight hit of carbs and youwill have your answer out.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
The way I react to carbs is Wow, and this is huge,
then, in terms of your foodchoice, for your mental health
and your mindset and everything.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
And also now you know your antidote.
So if you are, for example,feeling anxious and you know
that you're an oxidizer, youknow you must reach for some
fats to calm yourself down.
Or if you happen to be justtotally lazy, not wanting to do
anything, and you know you're anautonomic, you know you're too
alkaline, you need to hityourself with some fats.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So it's always oh yeah, it's a very empowering
thing too, then it's anempowerment for the individual
to take also some sense ofcontrol, if you will, over their
own health.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
And here it goes.
75% of all prescriptions thatare filled are for mind-altering
substances, either dealing withanxiety or depression.
Let that sink in.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Wow, that's a huge.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Probably 80% of that is correctable with diet alone,
not diet Choices Right.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Okay, you can have a potato.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
That's a straight carb.
Yeah, you can have a potato,that's a straight carb.
You can put butter or sourcream or bacon bits on it.
That's fats and proteins.
They are balancing each otherout, okay a bowl of rice with a
salad.
That's all carby.
(17:31):
Pile on some olive oil, pile ona piece of fish, salmon,
something like that.
That's fats and proteins.
Now you're steering.
All of a sudden, you have atool that lets you stay in the
middle of the road rather thanbeing in the ditch.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Wow, I'm just thinking of all the implications
for our own, of course, mentalhealth, but also the statistics
for children.
Children are showing somereally concerning rates as a
therapist myself who's worked inschools and with kids for
anxiety depression.
It's huge.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
ADD behaviors are largely food driven.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I've seen the emerging research on sleep and
ADHD.
Right, maybe there's sleepapnea or maybe it's sleep, but
we don, you have to get out ofit and you need to switch into
the rest-repair parasympathetic,otherwise you will not fall
asleep.
You'll be sitting there wired.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
And you think, about everything.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
You're tired but wired.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yes, yes, yes.
So with food, you need to firstknow am I autonomic or am I
oxidized?
Oxidizer must push fats,autonomic must push carbs to
calm down.
The most calming mineral, ofcourse, is magnesium.
The most calming food ischlorophyll, which happens to be
(19:18):
also rich in magnesium.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Wow, yeah, be also rich in magnesium, wow, yeah.
So when you talk about thingslike magnesium, I'm thinking
also like supplementation, right, so?
And this is one of your areasof expertise, so what is the
role of supplementation inachieving?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
this.
Look at this one.
Yeah, so the autonomic nervoussystem is driven by calcium
magnesium balances.
Calcium is the driver towardssympathetic magnesium, toward
Paris.
So with every musclecontraction, calcium is the
contraction, magnesium is therelaxation.
(19:56):
Right, so your heart, yourheart, 60 beats a minute.
Calcium, magnesium, calcium ohwow, yeah, and calcium magnesium
calcium magnesium.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh, wow, yeah, and I'm even thinking the brain, I
mean there's all kinds ofthere's so much involved, to
have our thoughts to make, tomove our body wake up, push
calcium.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
If you have a overly active elimination peristalsis,
something like diarrhea calciumwill slow it down.
Magnesium will speed it up.
If you tend to be constipated,you need to push magnesium.
If you're nervous, you need topush magnesium.
If you're overly sedated, youneed to push calcium wow, yes
(20:49):
and then, of course, there'smore right.
So there's the eating for yourblood type, peter the atom.
Oh, he put that out so we haveblood type o, a, b and a b.
What he discovered is thatthere are genetic misses, as in
you do not have the equipment todigest certain foods.
So, in short, like, for example, blood type O's do badly on
(21:13):
grains and dairy cow dairy, theblood type A's don't do great on
chicken, blood type B's don'tdo great with pork and shrimp.
Well, go figure, people fromMiddle East, like Jewish and
Arabs, they are mostly bloodtype Bs.
It's right in the Old Testamentdo not eat pork and do not eat
(21:34):
shrimp.
Well, I can confirm for youthat you don't have the
equipment to do well on that.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Right, yes.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
So that is also part of if you tell us your blood
type, we'll tell you how tostructure your immune system, as
in what you delete, what youdon't need.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Wow, can I ask so?
Because you've helped so manypeople and you have courses.
I forget the platform you haveyour courses on Udemy Udemy.
You have helped so many I meantruly thousands of people.
What does it look like forsomeone wanting to do a session
(22:16):
with you or start this journeyand they decide you know what I
want to be healthy.
What would that look like?
I know that every individual isdifferent.
Right, because I'm excited,because I feel like I could
refer clients who don't have aclinical diagnosis right, so we
(22:37):
can get into like looking forproblems and help.
I've been someone who's had towork through insurance as well
and do I get a session or haveto prove that they need sessions
and looking at?
Yeah, that's for that'sprobably like a series two on
that, but I'm so excited aboutwhat you can do.
(22:58):
What does that look like forsomeone who wants?
To work with you do.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
What does that look like for someone who wants to
work with you, right?
So well I have.
The philosophy is if you wantto do the work yourself, I'll
give you the tools.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Or if you want a shortcut, if you want the, do it
for me.
Okay, I have some tools.
They will cost you money, butI'll get you to the goal faster,
yeah.
So if you don't have the funds,but you have the will, I offer
you all the bits and pieces thatyou can actually learn and
figure out what you need tofigure out.
(23:34):
And if you're one of theexecutive types who wants to,
just hey, come on, just tell me.
I say, well, it'll cost you.
And here we go, and it's notexpensive.
I mean hundred dollars.
Buys you the test and aninitial orientation oh, wow then
we need to you can.
(23:55):
We don't charge lots, we chargeno, because even if I'm thinking
of even if you have insurance.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I mean, I've had to pay at least that just for to
meet my, you know for a visit.
You know, just for a visit,yeah we're, we're about to copay
, yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I always laugh because people contact me and
say well, I met this functionaldoctor and he says yeah, yeah,
yeah, we can do this.
Please come up with sixthousand dollars, we'll do the
tests and I have all the answersfor you.
I talked to people who spent$30,000 and didn't get any
further ahead because they justkept testing and testing, and
(24:32):
testing.
I'll give you an illustration.
A lot of problems happen becauseof the industrial age.
People are toxic.
There is a lot of heavy metalsand volatile organic compounds
and plastic type of things in usand they cause a lot of
(24:53):
dysfunction, dysregulation, theyblock normal expression of the
internal systems, of theinternal systems.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
So nobody is going to get right until they detox.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
So you can spend a lot of money testing whether you
are or aren't toxic or howtoxic you are.
Yes, or you can just do thedetox In general.
You can spend $300 on an ICP-MSurine test that tells you
what's in you, or you can spend$150 on a hair trace mineral
analysis.
And then you need to do theactual detox, and that's usually
(25:35):
about $300, $400.
And then, if you really need toknow, then you need to spend
the test again.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Like if it was effective.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, but at the end of the detox you'll feel better
because your functionality orfunctioning, is going to start
improving.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Right, right, yeah, that's fascinating.
So yeah, the detox.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
So the process?
Yeah, you asked me how do we dothat?
Yeah, I was just so.
Yeah, the detox we do a sessionhow to now teach you to
understand what's going to go onafter you eat a specific meal,
and then we have these toolsthat help you steer better, and
we keep narrowing until you arepretty clear.
(26:35):
You will know how to run yourlife with that.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Wow, that's incredible and so empowering.
I think that's huge.
Unfortunately, sometimesmedical model can be very
disempowering and I love thatyou're bringing empowerment to
people about your metabolic typeand things for weight and I
(27:05):
mean this is so much more thanweight.
It sounds like it's so muchmore than weight.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, we didn't get to mention or I didn't get to
mention the second part of thetest.
We will also answer.
What's your endocrine dominance, of which there are four
thyroid, adrenal, pituitary and,in women, also could be ovarian
.
And the thyroid types usuallycrave starchy foods and gain
(27:35):
weights with carbs and loseweight with fat.
So the thyroid types on a ketodiet will be skinny, but the
adrenal types on that same dietwill be gaining weight because
their food attraction is usuallysavory and they gain weight all
over, not on the belly buteverywhere.
And then the pituitary they areattracted to start to creamy
(28:03):
foods like whipping cream, icecream, fluffy stuff, brain foods
they tend to be the nerdy types, their body type is sort of
like a cabbage patch doll modeland for them the most healthy
food are off.
All as in the brain, hearttongue, all the hype you're in
(28:25):
food.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Oh wow, that's very cool.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Now we of course have all of these glands, all of us
right.
So, the dominant will push youinto one of the four corners.
You still have the wholepicture, but you will have a
preference how your body willact in its most.
What is it common mode?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I'm going to ask a question that may be a little
bit loaded, but it's a topic ofconversation, a hot topic of
conversation, which is Ozempic.
What are like all those forweight control?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
What have you seen?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
in research when it comes to people trying.
Yeah, because it's pretty new.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
You know you're throwing in a very, very big
question.
I don't know just how deep Iwant to go with it.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Okay, yeah, I realize there's a lot there, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Well, the starting point is this the industrial
complex which consists ofbanking, food, agriculture,
fertilizers, insurance, medicine, all of that they all are
motivated financially to keepyou sick, heal person, lose a
(29:44):
client or a customer.
They don't want to heal you,they want you sick and on the
drip.
So they grow foods, food-likesubstances, that keep us quite
sick.
I mean, the data is showing itclearly.
The rates of obesity, heartdisease, autism, all of that,
(30:06):
those are all rising.
They're rising mainly becausewe have such crappy foods sold
in stores that are then causefor illness, which is then
healed not healed, treated bythe medical system.
So Ozempic is a fantasticsolution for overeating.
(30:28):
So the the food industry isproducing highly addictive food,
like substances that are ultraprocessed that you end up eating
and they force you to eat morethan you should have, or then
you naturally would have.
So you're now gaining weight.
So now we're going to use atechnological solution in the
form of this thing that numbs orblocks your stomach from
(30:52):
working right.
Stomach paralysis is a commonside effect of taking a zempig.
Well, don't get me started onthe side effects Thyroid cancer,
pancreatitis, blah, blah, blah.
The problems that are going tocome with this are huge.
(31:13):
But our society has beentraining people to demand an
easy button.
Push the easy button.
Don't make it hard.
Help me quick.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Right, and probably too, like you mentioned.
Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt, butalso, like you mentioned,
martin, in the beginning, wetrust people who have the
diploma, the white coat, andthere are wonderful physicians
out there.
I know that there's a place, aspace of course, but I think
sometimes, like your experience,where you present with an issue
and you are trusting theirsuggestion and you had the
(31:57):
long-term effects of that, Ihear your protective heart for
people who may come to aprovider, and this is the best
for me, because this is whatit's what I've been told and
it's easy and it's the paththat's I can check off and for
insurance maybe, and but, but Ihope.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, well, you know to say this, most doctors
probably go to school thinkingthat they're going to be helping
people.
Yeah probably go to schoolthinking that they're going to
be helping people.
Yeah, but because the entireeducation system and the
prescription system and thepharmacies and whatever is owned
by the cartel, they really justbecome salespeople for drugs.
(32:37):
And the only thing they'retaught in their school is not
nutrition, they're taughtprescription.
So they diagnose a problem andprescribe for it, and they do
not go for the cause, they gofor the symptom.
So if your symptom is obesity,ozempic is a wonderful solution,
but you should be asking whatis the cause of this obesity?
(33:02):
And it is food that's too richin calories and too poor in
nutrients Food-like.
I call it food porn.
It addicts you because it feelsin your mouth that you want to
eat more of it.
It's designed that way.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Right.
So it's not your fault in a way,right, and what you're saying
now, now that we have thetechnology to measure what's
going on in the brain, what'sgoing on in the body with these
foods, it's really what you'resaying.
I'm sure it was like veryradical when you first started
(33:43):
diving into, like you said,there was no Google to go search
up a lot of these articles.
I mean, we now definitely havethe technology to show what
you're saying to the point where, well, some of it right, but to
the point where, you know, I, Ilook at like for me, as a, I'm
thinking as a mom with youngkids, I look at what's in the
cafeteria, I look at what foodsare in the grocery stores here
(34:06):
that are banned in othercountries because of their
ingredients, because, yes, theycan become altered to be more,
like you mentioned, addictive orI mean there's no carcinogenic
or toxic ingredients and it'salarming.
It's alarming.
So we need people like you tobring some of this information.
(34:32):
Some people listening right now.
This might be the first timethat they've heard some of this.
For me, I didn't know aboutlooking at your metabolic type
and looking at your blood andlook at the alkaline.
I hadn't.
It wasn't until I started doingresearch for this episode that
I learned more.
So you, this might be blowingsomeone's mind, if you're
(34:53):
listening and it's blowing yourmind, I mean it's I'm sure
there's so much to look into.
What would you say for those,especially like parents I'm
thinking parents and because wetend to, you know, do things for
others before we might do forourselves, especially as parents
yeah, yeah, very good.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Well, you have the right instincts.
If you're a mother, you'regoing to die for your child
right.
You're going to do everything.
You will kill yourself tryingto make sure your child is right
, which is the correct instinct.
The dna is programmed toprocreate right.
The next generation has tosurvive.
(35:35):
If they don't, we're done.
Well, the dna is done right so,uh, what do you do?
Well, number one, you need torealize that the system is
rigged against you.
Products like hygiene andlaundry and furniture and car
(36:03):
and everything those are allmade with no regard to how it
affects you.
The number one environment youneed to protect is the
microbiome within within you andwithin your child, and if that
microbiome isn't developedcorrectly, the whole thing goes
bad.
One of the worst things are whydo we put chlorine in water?
(36:29):
To kill microbes?
If you drink chlorinated water,you're killing the internal
environment.
The other really horribleantibiotic is called Roundup or
glyphosate.
That thing is now used on foods.
It's used on wheat, lentils,chickpeas and probably other
things.
(36:50):
So, if you are taking even justtrace amounts of this thing into
you and you are, because thisthing is water soluble and it's
on foods.
Therefore you are killing themicrobiome.
If you're killing themicrobiome, you'll have
dysbiosis and, for example, gofind the study autism or ADD or
(37:16):
whatever is associated withspecific microbiome
misconfigurations.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yes, I am seeing some of that emerging research.
It's there In peer-reviewedjournals.
It's there too, you know it'sthere, and with anxiety is a big
one too.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
So there is a lot to be said about the diet and
environment and how you treatyourself and what you know about
yourself and how you startinteracting with your family,
with your food, with everythingaround you, but it's a big story
, so maybe we should just pausehere and start at the beginning
(37:56):
next time.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Absolutely.
Thank you so much, martin.
Stay tuned, listen in on thenext episode, where we're going
to dive into what you can do inyour home, in your environment,
looking at the big story of howthis impacts our life.
Thank you so much, martin, forbeing a part of our wellness
journey today.
