Speaker 1 (00:10):
Welcome to the number one radio health talk show in America,
The Doctor Bob Martin Show. Doctor Martin is a chiropractic physician,
a board certified clinical nutritionist, and diplomat of the American
Academy of Anti Aging Medicine.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
The information presented.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
On this show is educational in nature.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Please consult your personal healthcare provider regarding health issues. You
may have got a health related problem or challenge, not
feeling well, and you just don't know where to turner
what to do. Doctor Bob Martin is here for you
and will do his very best to answer your health question.
The tone free number to ask Doctor Martin a health
question or to make a health related comment is eight
(00:48):
hundred six oh six eighty eight twenty two. Eight hundred
six oh six eighty eight twenty two. That's eight hundred
six zero six eighty eight twenty two. It's the Doctor
Bob Martin and Show.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Good morning, good afternoon, and hello to everyone tuning in
from coast to coast. You are listening to Health Talk
America presents The Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman,
and folks, we have a massive hour lined up for you.
Whether you're listening in your car, at the gym, or
streaming us live at doctor bob dot com. I want
you to go ahead and lean in this hour, turn
(01:22):
up that volume and get ready to be empowered. And
we've got the phone lines open at eight hundred and
six zero six eight eight two to two if you
want to jump into the fray and trust me, there's
plenty to talk about. Today. We're going to transverse the
landscape of health from the high stakes federal courtrooms in Newark,
(01:42):
to the scientific laboratories in Wales, and finally right into
your own backyard. It's a it's a wild time to
be alive. But as always, knowledge is the best medicine.
So let's go ahead and dive right into the deep
end with our health headlines. This week, we start with
(02:11):
a story that has been decades in the making. This
week is what many are calling the day of Reckoning
for the opiate crisis. In a federal courtroom in Newark,
Purdue Pharma, the company that became a household name for
all the wrong reasons, is facing its final criminal sentencing.
Now we've talked about this on the show before, but
(02:34):
the scale of this is staggering. We aren't just talking
about a company filing for bankruptcy. We are talking about
a total dissolution of a corporate giant that critics say
fueled a fire that has claimed hundreds of thousands of
American lives. This is about corporate accountability, or rather the
(02:55):
lack thereof for far too long. And the twist here
is that the victims are speaking for the first time.
Families who lost children, are parents and also siblings to
this oxy cycle, are standing face to face with the
legal representation of the Sackler legacy. The court is prepared
(03:16):
to transition what's left of this company into a public
benefit company, but the question still remains, can a company
that's born of such controversy ever truly benefit the public.
This is a reminder to every single one of us
you have to be your own best doctor. When a
so called miracle pill like an opiate is pushed with
(03:40):
a ninety percent promise of safety and that number turns
out to be a fabrication, the cost isn't just a
fine in this case, it's a generation. We're watching this
sencing closely because it sets the stage for how the
government handles big pharma greed moving forward. And if you've
been affected by this, I want you to give us
(04:01):
a call at eight hundred six zero six eight eight
two to two. We want to hear your take on
whether justice is actually being served. This week and moving
on from the courtroom to regulatory battlefields, we have what
I'm calling a melanoma flashpoint. This is a major medical
outrage that has oncologists across the country fuming. The FDA
(04:26):
has just issued its second rejection of the skin cancer
drug called rp one. Now why does this matter Because
RP one isn't just another drug, It's in oncology immunotherapy
designed for patients with advanced melanoma who have literally run
out of options. We're talking about people who have failed
(04:48):
every standard of care and are looking at a terminal diagnosis.
So this controversy is reaching a boiling point because the
FDA is sticking to this high evidence rule that requires massive,
years long trials before approval. And this is while the
medical community is shouting from the rooftops that the drug
(05:09):
is already saving lives in smaller controlled settings. And to
make things even more interesting, the political heat is rising.
RFK Junior has been vocal about the need to clean
house at the FDA to stop these kind of delays.
But the FDA leadership is pushing back, saying they won't
sacrifice safety for speed. So here we got the conflict,
(05:32):
the classic conflict of government versus clinical reality. And while
they argue over the paperwork, many of these patients in
these late stage trials are just looking for a chance
to see another birthday. It is troubling to see this
life saving innovation stalled by red tape. So we're going
to try to stay on top of this, but it's
a clear sign that the system is still broken. All right,
(05:54):
let's pivot to some good news, and I mean really
good news for your cardiovascular system. If you've been worried
about your cholesterol are your heart health, you need to
listen up. New research just out of Cardiff University in
the UK has found a secret weapon inside the humble
pomegran The star of the show is a compound called
(06:16):
euro lithin a. Now here's the fascinating part. Your gut
bacteria actually produces this compound when you eat Pomegrants and
researchers are finding that eurolithin a has a shocking ability
to stabilize arterial plaque and This is a big deal
because most people think the goal is to just lower
(06:36):
cholesterol numbers. But the real danger isn't necessarily in having
that plaque. It's having vulnerable or soft plaque that can
rupture and cause a heart attack or stroke. So this
Cardiff study showed that eurolithin A makes these plaques tougher
and less likely to break off, regardless of what your
cholesterol levels are. So this is a game changer for longevity.
(06:59):
It's a natural food based intervention that works with your
microbiome to protect your pipes. It's exactly the kind of
health alternative we love to champion here at the Doctor
Bob Martin Show. So maybe it's time to add some
pomegrant seeds to your salad or grab a glass of
pure unsweetened juice. Finally, we have a common sense alert
(07:22):
from the CDC. I know everyone loves their backyard chickens.
It's a massive trend over the last few years, especially
for those of us looking to control our food source
and get those fresh organic eggs. But the CDC has
just issued a warning after at least thirty four people
in thirteen states fell ill with salomonila. Here's the troubling part.
(07:44):
These aren't your run of the mill bacteria. Some of
these strains are showing signs of antibiotic resistance. This means
that the standard treatments might not work as well even
if you get hit hard with this. So look saying
to get rid of your flock. We are saying to
be smart. The CDC report found that people were getting
(08:08):
sick because they were believe it, are not snuggling and
kissing their chickens. These birds, I get it, they're cute,
but they also are a literal walking petrie dish of salmonilla.
So if you get a coop, keep your shoes that
you wear in the coop outside your house. Wash your
(08:31):
hands like you're prepping for surgery. After you handle the
birds or the eggs. It's about sixty percent more likely
that you'll avoid that nasty gut infection of salmonilla just
by following basic hygiene. So don't let this hobby turn
into a hospital stay all right, coming up after the break,
(08:53):
we're just getting started, folks. When we come back, we
are going to spotlight women's health and plus we'll be
taking your calls at eight hundred six zero six eight
eight two two again. That's eight hundred six zero six
eight eight two two. I want you to tell us.
Are you fed up with the FDA, are you ready
to ditch the statins for pomegrants, or maybe you just
(09:16):
want to tell me about your prize winning rooster. Whatever
it is I want to hear from you. I don't
want you to go anywhere. You're listening to Doctor Adam
Brockman on the Doctor Bob Martin Show. We'll be right
back after this short break. And also remember you can
catch replays of the show, or you can submit your
question online at doctor Bob dot com or health Talkamerica
(09:41):

talk coming your way. Doctor Adam Brockman here. You've heard
(10:02):
us say it before. Your mouth is the gateway to
your body's health. But what if your dental problems could
actually be repaired, not just patched. If you're struggling with
painful gums, jawbone loss, implant failure, are chronic dental infections,
don't settle for more drilling or medications that just mask
the problem. At American Holistic Care Center, healing starts from
(10:26):
the inside out. Imagine regenerating, healthy gum and bone tissue,
eliminating toxic materials in restoring balance to your entire body,
starting with your smile. Call now to schedule your consultation
at eight seven seven two zero seven zero eight two four.
That's eight seven seven two zero seven zero eight two four,
(10:48):
or visit Americanholisticcare dot com. Because your smile is more
than cosmetic, It's a reflection of your whole body health
American Holistic Care, what if? And we are back. You're
(11:14):
listening to Health Talk America presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and if you're just joining us,
we spent the first segment tearing into the FDA's red
tape in the day of Reckoning for pharmaceutical giants. But
right now I want to pivot to a story that
is very timely this month. It's a story about half
(11:36):
the population that has been ignored, sidelined, and has been
treated small by the medical establishment for over a century.
And we're talking about the female biological rhythm for years.
If a woman said I feel different during certain weeks
of the month, or my workout feels impossible today even
(11:58):
though I crushed it last Tuesday, the traditional medical community
treated it kind of like this, Oh, it's just hormones,
Take an aspirin and keep pushing. Well, folks, the time
of the month just became hard science. There's a new
study out that just dropped in Natural Medicine and we're
(12:21):
talking fresh off the press, and it's officially mapped nearly
three thousand different proteins in the female bloodstream that fluctuate
in a perfect systemic symphony across the mentro cycle. Now,
let's get into the outrage for a second. It's twenty
twenty six. We have self driving cars, we're looking at Mars,
(12:45):
and we have AI that can write poetry. Yet it
took us until now to map the basic protein fluctuations
of the female body. For decades, clinical trials excluded women
because they're cycles were too complicated and would mess up
the data. So what did researchers do. They studied men
(13:08):
and acted like women were basically the same model with
a different paint job. But let's be serious. Men are
like jeeps therefore getting around, and women are like a
finely tuned sports car. So this is just lazy science.
It's also dangerous medicine and the downstream effects they've been
(13:30):
staggering for nearly a century or more. Women report adverse
drug reactions at higher rates than men in many categories.
Women are also more likely to have their symptoms minimized,
especially when fatigue or pain or mood changes or sleep
disruption or exercise intolerance are involved. This has created this reality.
(13:53):
Millions of women have been told they're changing energy, recovery, hunger,
or focus are somehow personal failings, when in fact they
may be part of this normal biological shift that's happening
on schedule. So what this twenty twenty six study proves
is that a woman's body doesn't just have a period.
(14:16):
It undergoes a massive systemic whole body reset every single month.
We're talking about the immune system, the cardiovascular function, metabolism,
tissue remodeling, and even brain related signaling change in this
predictable rhythmic pattern. And that matters because proteins are not fluff.
(14:39):
Proteins are also the body's working crew. They are the
form and the messengers, the repair texts, and the traffic
controllers of human biology. And if nearly three thousand of
them are shifting across the cycle, that means that your
body is not operating in the same internal environment every
day of the month, same person, Yes, same physiology, absolutely not.
(15:04):
So this isn't just about reproduction, folks. This is about
survival performance in longevity. And as a guy who spends
his days in a clinical setting, let me tell you
this plainly. If you ignore these rhythms, you're not being tough.
You are making your body pay interest on a biological
credit card. So we've talked about cycle sinking on the
(15:29):
show before, but now we have the protein map to
help explain why so many women have said for years,
I know my body changes week to week. If you
think of the month not as a straight line, but
as four distinct seasons. Once you start seeing it that way,
a lot of the mystery starts turning into strategy. So
(15:53):
if we talk about this phase one, let's call that
the filecular phase, that's your internal sprain. In Phase two
is ovulation, that's the summer peak. Phase three is the
louteal phase, and that's that autumn or fall shift. And
finally phase four is that menstrual phase, and that's that
(16:16):
winter reset. And here's where I want to get practical,
because this is a one conversation that you don't want
to miss. Whether you're a female or a male, cycle
awareness isn't just for elite athletes or wellness influencers or
women trying to get pregnant. It matters for moms and
(16:38):
business owners, in nurses, teachers, executives, and any woman that
is trying to get through life with more energy and
less friction. And if you know that one week of
the month your recovery is usually excellent, that's valuable knowledge.
If you know another week yet your sleep gets shaky
(16:59):
and your appet type jumps by twenty percent, that is
valuable too. And instead of judging yourself, you can prepare.
So this may look like scheduling harder workouts earlier in
the month when that's possible, our planning more recovery and
mobility in the late late phases or menstrual phase, including
(17:21):
increasing your calories slightly when hunger and metabolic demand rise,
or maybe it's reducing alcohol when sleep and inflammation are
already vulnerable. So tracking your symptoms for three months so
patterns can become obvious is essential, and adjusting that communication
at home and work when you know that your bandwidth
(17:42):
is shifting. And this is not about becoming obsessed with
a pattern. It's been about becoming informed and there's a
big difference there. And if you've been listening to doctor
Bob or myself for any length of time, you know
that we are obsessed with longevity. We want you to
live to be a hundred, but we want those years
(18:05):
to be vibrant and mobile and independent and mentally sharp.
And here's the real truth. Longevity isn't just about adding years.
It's about reducing the unnecessary wear and tear. It's about
keeping inflammation in check and protecting lean muscle and preserving
(18:25):
that sleep quality and supporting metabolic flexibility, and also avoiding
the slow leak of energy that drains quality alife. So
when a woman ignores these rhythms and tries to live
on a rigid, twenty four hour hustle cycle every single
day of the month, she often ends up paying for it.
(18:46):
So in a clinic, that can show up as chronic
fatigue or slow fat loss, persistent bloating or low mood.
You know, repeated flare ups, headaches, nagging back pain, name it.
It's these these overused type of injuries and symptoms that
never quite resolve. And we see it. We see it
(19:08):
all the time a woman comes in with a mystery
hip pain, for instance, or a shoulder that won't calm down,
and we review her habits. She has been redlining her workouts,
under eating, and sleeping poorly through that Loutell phase for months.
You cannot outtrain your biology, and why would you want to.
(19:31):
When you align your nutrition or movement and recovery to
these rhythms, you stop chairing, you stop picking these fights
with your own physiology, and you start working with the
most sophisticated machinery on the planet that's not giving in.
That's about getting smarter, all right. If you're sitting right
(19:53):
now thinking I've felt like this my whole life, but
nobody believe me, I want you you to hear this clearly,
the science finally has your back. You're not unstable, you're
not unpredictable. You are are in the in these in
these cycles, these weekly cycles. If you want to break
(20:14):
it down, and that is your biology, and that's your
strength when you understand how to work with it. So
we need to stop treating the female cycle as a
burden and start treating it as a vital sign. If
your cycle is off, your health is probably off too.
Period It deserves the same respect we give blood pressure
(20:35):
or resting heart rate, or sleep quality or blood sugar
and also recovery. All right, so we're gonna take a
quick break, but don't go anywhere. When we come back,
we're going to get to our health alternative of the week.
Stay tuned because you're listening to Health Talk America presents
the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockbin and
we'll be right back after the short break.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Anybody's got a fame, mistakes, but everybody's got a choice
to make. Everybody needs to leave the faithing you.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Welcome back everyone. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Doctor Adam Brockman here, and let me ask you, how
often do you stop and truly listen to what your
body's trying to tell you. Those nagging symptoms, the persistent discomfort,
they're not just inconveniences. They're important messages from your body
that deserves attention. The good news you don't have to
(21:34):
wait weeks or sitting crowded waiting rooms to get answers.
Right now, you can connect with a healthcare professional through
our telehealth service from the comfort of your own home.
Just call eight hundred six zero six eight eight two
to two or visit doctor Bob dot com to speak
with a doctor chosen by doctor Bob or myself. And
(21:54):
that's also by filling out the short telehealth form that's
eight hundred six zero six eighty two to or doctor
Bob dot com. Because your health can't wait. Now, let's
get back in today's conversation. And folks, let me tell
you about myself, my entire family. In most of my
healthcare colleagues who are interested in avoiding tooth decay, gingivitis,
(22:16):
paradontal disease, and bad breath use Spry toothpaste and spry
Mouth Rents. And I'm going to tell you why. If
you want a spotless checkup to the dental provider, here's
what I do to be my own best dental hygienist
and dentist. Most of the time, I brush my teeth
with Spry toothpaste, I rinse my mouth with spry Mouth Rents,
(22:38):
and I chew spry gum. And Spry comes in delicious
flavors including peppermint, cinnamon, and spearmint. The secret sauce, which
really isn't a secret anymore because of the research in
science behind it. It's xylotol and it's used by millions
of Spry users. Xylotol is a plant based ingredient in
(22:58):
the Spray dental defenses And again that's the toothpaste, the
mouth rents. The gum in the mints in the Spray
Dental Defense system is anti cavity, it's anti plaque in
its anti bad news. The next time your DNIS peers
into your mouth and whispers, what have you been using?
Your teeth and your gums look great, and you can
(23:19):
tell your DNIS you have been using the Spray Dental
Defense System. It's an easy and an inexpensive way to
have the benefits of xylotol throughout the day without needing
to change your habits. So if you want squeaky clean teeth,
gums and breath, then use the Spray Dental Defense system.
The Spray Dental Defense System is available at CBS Target
(23:41):
Vitamin Shop, Sprouts in all natural grocers' locations. And if
you want to know more about the Spray Dental Defense System,
I encourage you to head over to clear dot com
that's x L e a r dot com to find
Spry and also you can read up about the Clear
Nasal spray, which you should try and have in your
(24:02):
wellness arsenal as well. Again, that's the Spry dental defense
system by Clear. Okay, folks, it's time for this week's
health alternative. If you've ever felt like your body is
(24:34):
a high performance vehicle being driven with the emergency break on,
you are not alone. For millions of women, that break
is actually a hormonal imbalance that feels less like a
minor glitch and more like a total system failure. We're
talking about the wild, unpredictable fluctuations of pcos and the
(24:58):
grueling exhaustion of perimenopause in the agonizing frustration of unexplained infertility.
Enter our health alternative of the weak. Shadavari. In the
ancient world, it's known as the queen of herbs. But
here in twenty twenty six, thanks to some new clinical data,
(25:19):
we are seeing that this just isn't folklore. It's a
metabolic inhormonal powerhouse that is changing the game for women's longevity.
But before we get into the how, let's talk about
the why. It is shocking to realize that nearly one
in ten women of reproductive age are walking around with PCOS.
(25:39):
That's polycystic ovarian syndrome. That's not just a statistic. That's
a massive portion of our sisters, our daughters, and our
friends living with a condition that increases the risk of
type two diabetes by four hundred percent. And the conventional
approach often leaves women feeling unheard. You're told to lose
(26:00):
weight or take met foreman, but these suggestions often ignore
the underlying architectural damage happening within the ovaries themselves. We
see increased ovarian volume, this string of pearls follicular count
that indicates stuck ovulation in a metabolic environment that is
(26:21):
essentially on fire. So chet avari it translates literally to
she who possesses a hundred husbands.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
So I'm not sure that that is something any woman wants.
I know there are days my wife doesn't even want one.
But that traditional meaning refers to the herb's ability to
support vitality in reproductive strength through every stage of a
woman's life. But I'm a man of science, and I
(26:53):
know you are too, or a woman of science, So
don't just look at that tradition. Look at these double
blinded studies, and as we move through right now the
data is coming out of journals like the Frontiers in Endocrinology,
in Food and Nutritional research, and it's quite frankly, it's revolutionary. Then,
(27:15):
the most troubling part of PCOS is the hormonal aging
in the physical change in those ovaries. And the study
researchers looked at the impact of standardized Shadavari extract on
what we call the ovarian architecture and the results were great.
Participants used this clinically backed Shadavari extract and it saw
(27:38):
a reduction in ovarian cys size by forty percent in
just twelve weeks. And we're not just talking about masking
the symptoms. We're seeing a physical remodeling of that tissue.
In the study also noted a significant reduction in total
ovarian volume in a decrease in the antral follical camp,
meaning that the ovaries they stopped over producing these immature
(28:01):
follicles that never actually release an egg. And there is
a restoration of the LH and FSH ratio, which is
the gold standard for hormonal balance. So this is the
difference between clearing the weeds and actually changing that soil.
Satavari works on the HPO axis that's a hypothalmic pituitary
(28:22):
ovarian axis, and it acts as a gentle reset button
for communication between your brain and your reproductive system. So
I don't want you to just run out and buy
the cheapest form of Shadavari powder you find at the
grocery store. Quality is everything in the world of longevity science.
So when you're looking for a supplement, you want to
(28:44):
look for clinically backstandardized extracts. One name that is consistently
appearing in the literature is Zaya and that's xe Ya,
and that's a specific extract that's standardized to ensure that
you're actually getting what you need. Okay, folks, So we're
living a time where you no longer have to be
(29:04):
a passenger in your own body. The days of just
dealing with hormonal chaos are over, and that is with
Shadabari our health alternative.
Speaker 6 (29:13):

and I. We don't pull punches. We're here to give
you the truth, even when the truth is uncomfortable, and
especially when the truth is downright dangerous. Now, before the break,
we were talking about the incredible benefits of shadavare and
(33:25):
how it supports the female rhythm. But right now it's
time for our health Outrage of the week.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Each for the health outbreage, because it's nothing but.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I want to talk to every woman listening right now
and every man who has a wife, a daughter, or
a mother. I want to talk about the male DeFi
and I'm talking about this staggering, systemic, in scientifically lazy
practice of treating the female body like it's just a
smaller version of a man. I briefly mentioned this earlier
(34:13):
in the hour, and now it's time to shed some
more light on it. We just saw this massive study
published in Nature Medicine, in Communications Medicine. It's a wake
up call that most of the medical establishment is still
hitting the snooze button on these researchers looked at NIH
funded studies and found something that's shocking. While sixty one
(34:35):
percent of these studies actually included both sexes, only forty
four percent of them bothered to report the results by sex.
And did you hear that they're doing the work, they're
collecting the data, but then there's just lumping everyone into
one big human bucket. They are essentially erasing the biological
(34:56):
reality of being a woman. It's it's a scientific ghosting
of half the population and it has lethal consequences. You know,
for decades, the medical world of these trials, these clinical trials,
has operated under the myth of that women are simply
small men with different plumbing. That's a flat out lie.
(35:20):
Women's biology is complex, it's beautiful, and it's uniquely symphonic.
Women have different fat distributions, which matters because many drugs
are fat soluble. Women's immune systems are more reactive, kidneys
clear waste at different rates. And then there's the obvious,
(35:41):
the hormonal cycles. But for years researchers said, oh, women's
hormones are too complicated, they just mess up the data.
Let's just use male mice or male college students, and
then we'll give woman a slightly smaller dose. That's not science,
that's a crapshoot. And women, they're the ones that are
(36:04):
paying the price. Because of this male default, women are
about fifty to seventy five percent more likely to suffer
from adverse drug reactions. When you take a pill and
you get a rash, or your heart starts racing, or
you feel dizzy, it's not because you're sensitive. It's because
that pill was never tested on a body that looks
(36:24):
or functions like yours. So let's look at these receipts.
You remember, ambient, For years, millions of women were taking
the same dose as men. Then we found out decades
later that women metabolized the drug much slower. So women
were waking up the next morning getting behind the wheel
of a car with high levels of the sedative still
(36:47):
in their blood, and then they were crashing, crashing their cars.
So it took the FDA until twenty thirteen to finally say, oops,
maybe women should only take half the dose. Or how
about heart health? We see it in my practice all
the time when women are given beta blockers after a
heart attack, drugs that were primarily tested on men, they
(37:09):
often have worse outcomes and more side effects. And then,
don't even get me started on oncology. The latest data
shows that cancer treatment toxicticity, it's twelve percent higher in
women than men for the same treatments. And that question
is why, Because the standard of care was built for
one hundred and seventy pounds male baseline, we are literally
(37:32):
poisoning women in the name of standardized medicine. So what
do we do. We don't get mad, We get informed.
The next time your doctor hands you a prescription, I
want you to ask these simple words, is this tested
on both sexes? Ask them if the clinical trials for
the drugs show the same results and safety profiles for
men and women if they don't tell them to look
(37:55):
them up, or if they don't know. We have to
stop accepting the one size fit it's all medicine because
in the world of healthcare, one size fits all usually
fits men and fails women. We need to push for
sex informed medicine. We need to demand that the NIH
in the pharmaceutical giants stop lumping this data. All right,
(38:16):
I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and this has been the health
outrage of the week. I don't want you to go anywhere.
We're coming back with a health mystery right after this. Hi,
It's doctor Adam Brockman. We talk about health every week.
(38:37):
When your joints hurt, everything hurts, you lose that freedom
to move and bind and stretch and do the things
you love. And that's why I want to tell you
about something truly special, and that's APEX joint minerals. This
isn't another gimmick or quick fix. It's a mineral complex
and it's inspired by a discovery high in the Sierra Mountains.
And it's minerals that your body actually recognizes and uses
(39:00):
to restore joint flexibility and comfort. And what makes APEX
Joint Minerals different. Is it's science seeing what happens when
people give their joints the nutrients they've been missing and
they get their life back. And that's what I want
for you. So if you're ready to move freely again,
go to Jointminerals dot com or call eight four four
nine four three one one four fours Jointminerals dot com
(39:24):
or call now at eight four four nine four three
one one four four a text Joint Minerals. Because movement
is the gift worth protecting.

I was told when I get old to almaheser strength,
but now I'm insecure and to caure what people think.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Welcome back to the Doctor Bob Bardon Show. I'm doctor
Adam Brockman, and if you just joined us, you're hitting
the airwaves just in time for our health Mystery of
the Week. I want you to imagine this. You're standing
in the middle of your kitchen, your car keys gripped
in your hands, and suddenly the room feels like a
(40:08):
foreign country. You know you were supposed to be somewhere
five minutes ago, but the why has completely evaporated from
your brain. Your heart starts to race, you think, is
this it is this the beginning of the end for
my brain. Lately, I've been seeing this staggering influx of women, vibrant,
high achieving sharp as attack women in their forties and fifties,
(40:31):
asking questions with a terrifying fear. Let's call it the
case of the vanishing vitality. They aren't just tired. They
feel like their cognitive hardware is glitching. And they're being
told by Google University and sadly, even some well meaning
doctors that they might be looking at early onset cognitive
(40:52):
decline or even dementia. But here's the shocking truth that
modern medicine is just starting to admit for many of you,
it's not your brain that's failing. It's your ovaries that
are changing the channel. We are witnessing this massive epidemic
of misdiagnosis. When a woman walks into a standard clinical
setting complaining of brain fog or memory lapses or the
(41:14):
inability to focus, the conventional medical machine often looks at
these symptoms in a vacuum. They see a neurological issue.
They might run a few basic tests, look for some
biomarkers for cognitive decay or worse, yet handout a prescription
for an anti anxiety medicine or an antidepressant and send
you on your way. But here's the statistic. Research suggests
(41:38):
that up to sixty percent of women experiencing cognitive shifts
during their mid forties are actually experiencing the neurological fallout
of ovarian aging, not a primary brain disease. So we've
been conditioned to think that ovaries are only about fertility,
in that the time of the month we've been lied to,
your ovaries are actually your primary power plants for your
(42:01):
brain's neuro wellness. And when the production of esrigen or
progesteron begins to fluctuate, what we call that very menopausal transition,
it's like someone is messing with the voltage of your
entire nervous system. All right, folks, So there you have it.
Your ovaries might be your health mystery. If you have
(42:23):
some brain fog or cognitive decline, that may be something
to look at. But in folks, we're wrapping up today's
journey through this landscape of health, and I want to
leave you with one final thought. We live in a
world that tries to convince us that fading away is
just the price of admission to this well lived life.
They tell us the brain fog, the fatigue, the vanishing vitality.
(42:43):
They're inevitable. But I'm here to tell you that's a lie.
Whether we're talking about the male default and medicine that
ignores a woman's unique biology, or a health mystery about
shifting the brain and shifting our thoughts, the solution always insane.
Knowledge is your armor. You are the CEO of your
own health. You are the one who decides how you're
(43:05):
going to feel when you wake up ten or twenty
or thirty years from now. So until next time, I
want you to stay curious, stay bold, and most importantly,
stay healthy. I'm doctor Adam Brocklin for Health Talk America
presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show. We'll see you back
here next time.
