six zero six eighty eight twenty two. It's the Doctor
Bob Martin and Show.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Good day to you. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and this
is the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Have you ever noticed
that the modern health news can feel like standing in
front of a fire hose with your mouth wide open.
You got one headline that tells you breakfast is killing you,
and another says that a new drug will save you.
And by the time you finish your coffee, you're not
(01:23):
sure whether you should go for a walk or hide
under your kitchen table. And that's exactly why we're here today.
I want to arm you with clarity, cut through that noise,
and to give you a practical roadmap for better living
and living longer. And here on the Doctor Bob Martin Show,
we don't just toss scary headlines at you and leave
(01:44):
you hayning. We break them down, We ask what they
really mean for your body, and most importantly, we talk
about what you can do about them starting today, and
your participation and your own health is encouraged on the show.
If you have a health related question, please feel free
to join in by calling our hotline which is eight
(02:07):
hundred six zero six eight A two two. Again that's
eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two, or
you can send a question through our email health question
form on our website which is at doctor Bob dot com.
Again that's doctor Bob dot com spelling out the word
doctor d O C t R Bob dot com. So
(02:27):
join me as we start to uncover this hour with
the major health stories that are making waves right now,
and every one of these headlines touches real life. We're
talking about your brain, we're talking about your immune system,
we're talking about your metabolism. We're talking about your mood
and your future. So let's go ahead and dive in
with our health headlines of the week. Okay, first up,
(02:59):
let's about food, because this story, it's shocking and frankly,
it's way too relevant for the average American household. We're
talking about a large European cohort study found that people
whose diets were made up of more than thirty percent
ultra processed foods had a forty percent higher risk of
memory impairment before the age of sixty, and that should
(03:22):
stop most of us in our tracks. We're not talking
about the occasional bag of chips or a frozen pizza
on a busy Friday night. We're talking about this steady
pattern of packaged snacks and sugary cereals in these industrial breads,
fast food, the convenient meals. This dominates most of our plates.
(03:43):
In these products, they're designed to be hyper palatable, in
shelf stable, and they're very hard to stop eating. But
your brain pays a price for that convenience. If you
think of ultraprocessed foods like the static in the wiring
of your nervous system, they don't just add the calories,
They drive inflammation and blood sugar cravings and oxidative stress
(04:07):
in that metabolic dysfunction, all of which can chip away
at cognitive performance over time. And when your brain is
constantly dealing with this inflammatory stress or smoke, memory and
focus can start to slip long before anyone expects it too.
So you don't need a perfect diet to move the needle.
(04:27):
You just need to start crowding out that fake stuff
with real food. I start adding more eggs and fish, vegetables, fruit, beans, nuts,
solid oil in high quality proteins. If you shop that
perimeter of the store more often than those middle aisles
and read the labels. If the ingredient list sounds like
(04:48):
a lab experiment, that's your clue. Your brain wants nourishment,
not a chemistry experiment. So if you've been feeling foggy
or sluggish, or just not as sharp as you used
to be, this is one the first places that I'd look.
Protecting your cognition isn't about crossword puzzles and supplements. It
also starts with what lands on your fork. Now, let's
(05:12):
move on from the pantry to the hospital, because this
next story is deeply troubling. The World Health Organization has
continued sounding the alarm on antibiotic resistance, especially in healthcare settings,
where dangerous infections are learning to outsmart the very drugs
that are designed to stop them. These resistant hot zones
(05:34):
are a reminder that our old strategy of throwing antibio
antibiotics at everything is coming back to hanaus. And for decades,
antibiotics they've been used like a magic eraser. If you've
got an ear infection, you get antibiotic. A sinus pressure,
you get an antibiotic. A cough that might be viral
sometimes still an antibiotic. In that over use in both
(05:57):
medicine and agriculture has created enormous evolutionary pressure. The bacteria adapts,
and they mutate, and they share survival tricks, and before long,
what used to be treatable becomes harder to control. And
that's why this issue matters to you. Even if you're
healthy today. Antibiotic resistance isn't some distant problem. It affects
(06:22):
surgeries and wound care and dental procedures and hospital stays,
and these vulnerable patients whose immune systems are already under stress.
It can turn routine care into a risky event. So
what's the takeaway without sliding into panic. We need to
start a smarter relationship with antibiotics. Antibiotics absolutely save lives
(06:44):
when they're used appropriately, but they are not always harmless
and they're not always the answer. This is where prevention
becomes powerful. If you build the host, and that's you.
You support your immune system, You prioritize sleep, nutrition, exercise,
blood sugar control, and gut health. You ask better questions
when medications are prescribed, use when necessary and not just
(07:07):
when it's convenient. So your body it shouldn't be this battleground.
It's an ecosystem. The stronger and more resilient that that
terrain is, the better prepared you are when the exposure happens.
This is one of those headlines that sounds intimidating, but
it should motivate us. So there you have it, And
now for some good news, and honestly, I really like
(07:29):
this one. There's research out of Harvard that highlighted that
brisk walking for just twenty to thirty minutes a day
may reduce all causes of mortality by up to thirty
five percent. I want to go ahead and say that again.
One of the most powerful longevity tools on the planet
is not locked in a bottle, hidden behind a prescription pad,
(07:50):
or sold in a flashing biohacking package. It's simple. It's movement.
Walking is incredibly underrated because it just looks too simple.
People assume it if it doesn't leave you gasping on
the floor for air. It's not doing that much, but
your body responds beautifully to regular, consistent motion. Walking supports
(08:14):
circulation and insolence, sensitivity and lymphatic flow. It helps your
joints and your bones, and it also regulates your mood.
It tells your system we are alive, we are adapting,
and we're not going to shut down. In my clinics,
I see this every day. People often wait until pain
(08:35):
forces them to pay attention. But movement is one of
the best ways to keep the body from sliding into
that downrolled spiral in the first place. It's maintenance for
your machine. And let's be honest, the side effect profile
of walking is pretty amazing. You get better sleep and
better energy, and better mental clarity and better digestion and
(08:57):
overall a better attitude. If you want to live longer
and live better, start with what your body was built
to do. Walk after meals and walk in the morning,
walk during phone calls. Let's get moving all right, And finally,
let's continue this talk about mood and resilience and one
of the most overlooked nutrients that we have, and that's
(09:19):
vitamin D. In a large analysis of thirty seven studies
found that vitamin D deficiency may triple the risk of
depression in adults. It triples it. That is a huge association,
and it deserves way more attention than it gets. We
become this indoor civilization. We wake up indoors, we commute indoors,
(09:39):
we work indoors, We exercise under fluorescent lighting, and we
unwind in front of screens. Then we are surprised when
so many people are running on empty physically and emotionally.
Vitamin D is not just about bones. It functions as
a pro hormone and it influences immune balance and inflammation
(10:00):
and in brain health. So you know, if we're talking
about this, the empowering move here is simple. Get your
levels checked talk with your healthcare provider about what's optimal
and not just what barely avoids that deficiency. And get
that safe sun exposure when you can, and make sure
you got magnesium other nutrient cofactors in the picture, and
(10:21):
if supplementation is appropriate, use it intentionally. All right. So
there you have it the health headlines. But there's one
big message. Your longevity is shaped by daily choices far
more than people realize. And so don't just consume this
health news. Use it. Let it motivate you, let it
sharpen your questions, Let it push you towards habits that
(10:41):
build resistance and resilience instead of dependency. All right, folks,
So we got more to come, including practical strategies that
you can actually use in real life. I want you
to stay with us. You're listening to the Doctor Bob
Martin Show, and I'm doctor Adam Brockman. We'll be right back.
Do you know about your body's most important signaling molecule.
(11:03):
It's called nitric oxide, and without it you lose energy,
endurance in circulation from head to toe. That's where doctor
Nathan Bryan's N one oh one comes in. They're the
world's nitric oxide innovation experts back by Nobel Prize winning
science helping your body restore its natural power to expand
(11:23):
blood vessels, deliver oxygen and energize every cell. More nitric
oxide means better heart health, faster recovery, and sharper mental focus.
And whether you're an athlete dealing with blood pressure issues,
are just wanting to feel years younger, N one oh
one has the proven science based solutions to get you
there naturally and safely. So don't wait for fatigue or
(11:47):
poor circulation to slow you down. Call eight three two

or go online to N one oh one dot com.
That's N one oh one dot com. And he said, Sunday,
out of the chambers to them.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Black guy, iorgle, what's your gift?
Speaker 4 (12:16):
And you gotta.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Turned to think about what you do with it?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
What did you do it?
Speaker 5 (12:26):
What did I do with it?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
What would I do it?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Got?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Welcome back everyone. You're listening to Health Talk America presents
the Doctor Bob Martin Show, and I'm your host, Doctor
Adam Brockman. Before we went to break, I was just
starting to digest a call that came in from Al
in Mountain Home, Arkansas, and let's go ahead and have
you take a listen.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Hi, I'm Al Mountain Home, Arkansas, the VA. Yeah, have
me get Oh geez, what do they call it? It's
like when they stick needles in you, only they stuck
in little chunks of gold in my ears. And I
(13:16):
did it about eight six eight times so far, and
I have absolutely no pain.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
After them doing that. And I was wondering if you've
heard of this.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
It seems like it's some kind of a miracle procedure.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Okay, Hey, I'm thanks what I appreciate your shoul.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Okay, Al, well, thanks for your call, and I want
to dive a little bit deeper into what you experienced.
So Al told us that during a visit to the VA,
he received a treatment where tiny pieces of gold were
placed just under the surface of the skin in his ears.
He described the relief as miraculous, taking him from chronic
(14:05):
grinding pain to a state of ease that he hadn't
felt in years. And now, to most this is going
to seem impossible, But what Al experienced is a profound
intersection of ancient wisdom and modern neurology that is known
as a recular therapy. It's a specialized form of acupuncture
(14:26):
that treats the entire body through the gateway of the
external ear. So let's go ahead and pull this back
a little bit further. Imagine that your body. It's this massive,
complex skyscraper. And usually if there's a fire on the
fourteenth floor, let's just call that your lower back, or
a plumbing issue in your basement, let's call that your
(14:47):
digestive track. You have to go to a specific floor
to fix it. A recular therapy suggests that the ear
is that security office or the main control room for
the entire building, and you have every square millimeter of
your outer ear, and that corresponds to a specific organ
(15:10):
or a system or a nerve pathway. It's a microsystem.
It's a literal map of basically your body etched into
cartilage and into your skin. And so when we stimulate
these points, we aren't just poking the ear. We are
sending a high speed fiber optic signal directly to the
brain and through that throughout the body. So these tiny
(15:34):
acupuncture needles are placed, or in Al's case, these tiny
dots that are left in the ear as a semi
permanent seed or a stimulator. So these needles are seeds
in this world of energy medicine. It's it's believed to
have specific vibrational properties that help to balance those cellular
(15:56):
fields throughout the body. And while conventional medicine might scoff
at the word vibration, neurology cannot ignore the results that
it has. So you've got research that shows that stimulating
these these these trigger points in the brain release a
flood of endorphins, your body's natural heavy hitting pain killers,
(16:19):
and it modulates how our nerves perceive threats or pain signals.
And so we know we live in this world where
the standard response to chronic pain is a prescription pad
in a good luck But here it's a staggering statistic
for you. Research into a regular therapy has shown that
(16:39):
just one week of treatment can reduce pain intensity by
approximately forty five percent, and by the fourth week that
that pain relief often deepens further, is relieved completely. So
if you compare that to the side effect profile of
long term and said or ibuprofen use or opiate use,
(17:00):
and you start to see why al says this was
a miracle. So we're talking about this non invasive drug
free intervention that is actually FDA approved and it's used
by the military. You can even in some instances call
it a battlefield acupuncture, and that is to treat trauma
(17:23):
on the front lines. So if we're talking about it's
good enough to help our veterans find that piece from services,
whether that's trauma, mentally or pain, it's certainly something that
we should be talking about basically in every clinic across America.
And then Al you also touched on something. You asked
(17:44):
if I was familiar with this, and the answer is
a resounding yes. In my practice, I don't just look
at the ear for pain. I look at these reflex
points as a way to talk to the immune system
as well, so aurricular therapy. It has been used with
incredible success for things like allergies and anxiety and even
(18:08):
addiction recovery. And this is called immune modulation. We're not
just suppressing a symptom like a maybe an anahistamine may do.
We are retraining the body's response to the world around it.
So let's talk about topic that's very relevant in Owl's
Neck of the Woods in Arkansas and across much of
(18:29):
the United States now and this is alpha gu syndrome.
And for those who don't know, this is a life
altering allergy to red meat, specifically this alpha goal sugar molecule,
and it's triggered by the bite of a lone star tick.
It is a condition where a simple burger continding into
anaphylactic shock within minutes or hours after you've eaten it.
(18:53):
So in our clinic, we use the same philosophy that
governs auricular therapy and stimulates the bodies innate, feeling intelligent
to tackle conditions like alpha gal in other complex sensitivities.
And I also want to talk about something that is
known as low dose immunotherapy or LDI. So if we
(19:15):
think of LDI as this software update for your immune system.
So instead of using these massive doses of a drug
that's going to shut down your immune response, it's introducing
these extremely diluted antigens, essentially a digital thumbprint of a
trigger to tell the T cell regulator cells to calm down.
(19:38):
So it's the same principle as what else talking about.
With these gold seeds, we're not overriding the body, we're
whispering to it we're saying, hey, that red meat protein,
that's not the enemy. You can go ahead and take
a seat down, right. So, when we combine these types
(19:59):
of comple wellness strategies, we are seeing these outcomes that
conventional medicine seems like it's impossible. So we've seen patients
who couldn't walk through a grocery store without an inflammatory
flare up suddenly find their lives again. So it's not magic.
It's the result of respecting the body's biological map and
using the right tools to help navigate it. And so
(20:23):
you know, when we're talking about this ol, you know
your story. It's a beacon of hope for anyone that's
listening who feels trapped by chronic pain or a haywire
immune system. You were told at the VA, who generally
sticks pretty tied to that conventional model of care, that
this unconventional therapy was the answer. In this case, it
(20:45):
was a regular therapy and it was the answer. So
this is a message that I want to go ahead
and leave you listeners with as we had to break.
Don't accept a life of managing symptoms when you could
be resolving the underlying dysfunction, whether it's it's through a
regular therapy or specialized probiotics to heal that gut, brain
(21:06):
access or low dose immunotherapy to to quiet and overactive
immune system. The tools for that miracle, they're already here.
You have the power, and you have to retrain your
nervous system. You have to to have the power to
demand more than a pill. We are you know, we're
(21:26):
here to help you arm with that knowledge to make
those decisions. So if you're you're dealing with chronic pain,
don't just wait for it to go away. Look into
these reflex therapies. Look into practitioners who understand that the
ear is a doorway to the to the to your
entire body and out. Thanks for your call and bring
this up. You remind us that sometimes the best way
(21:48):
to look forward is to look at what we've been
using for a thousand years or more. All Right, folks,
I want you to go ahead and stay tuned. You're
listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman,
and we'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Everybody's got mistakes, but everybody's got a choice to make.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Everybody needs to leave the faith. When are you taking yours?
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Mon?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Are you in.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Welcome back to the show. Everybody you're listening to help
Talk America presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor
Adam Brockman, and we were just talking with Al from
Mountain Home, Arkansas about his incredible journey with auricular therapy
and that's that tiny points in the ear that essentially
helped him to reboot his system. And now it sounds
(22:48):
like science fiction to some, but when you understand the
ear as a neurological microsystem, it's just pure beautiful physiology.
And Folks, if you miss part of that conversation, I
strongly encourage you to head back and listen to it
at our website through the podcast library, and that's at
doctor Bob dot com. Again, that's doctor Bob dot com
(23:11):
spelling out the word doctor docto r Bob dot com
and there you can catch it up on the show.
Because understanding how these distal points in the body can
affect your central nervous system, it's a total game changer
for anyone that has been dealing with chronic pain or
neurological hurdles. But before we jump back into more of
(23:33):
your health questions, I want to pivot to a different
kind of entry point to your health. We just talked
about the ears, but we often overlook the most significant
gateway to your internal environment, and that is your mouth.
So if you're ready to have a fresh start with
your oral care, I want to introduce you to the
(23:55):
Spry Dental Defense System. It's my personal secret to a
healthier smile in today I'm going to share it with
you because a healthy mouth it's cornerstone for a long
life in longevity and the magic ingredient with Spried Dental
Defense System is xylotol. It's a plant based powerhouse that
(24:17):
does what traditional toothpaste simply can't. Xylotol it's a structural miracle.
It helps to fight cavities, it reduces plaque in, it
helps to keep your breath fresh by targeting the very
root of the problem. Now, you see, most oral health
issues are caused by a specific type of bacteria. It's
(24:40):
a bad guy and it's called Streptococcus mutans.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
In.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
These bugs, they love sugar, but when they try to
eat xylotol, they get tricked because xylotol is something that
the bad bacteria can't digest. They literally starve to death.
The bad bacteria that is while trying to process it.
So xylotol it's a natural. It's a non toxic way
(25:05):
to clear out that biological squatters that are in your mouth.
And Spry has perfected the delivery of xylotol in every
product they make, and I'm talking about their toothpaste, Spry mouthwash, gum,
and mints. And they've done it in flavors that you
already love and enjoy, like peppermint, spearmint, and cinnamon. And
(25:26):
here's how the science works. Xylotol helps to balance the
pH in your mouth, and when your mouth is to acidic,
your enamel dissolves in that bacteria thrive. But Spry it
shifts that balance and it creates an alkaline environment where
harmful bacteria simply can't survive. It's a natural. It's a
(25:48):
proactive way to protect your teeth and your gums from
the inside out. So if you want to know my
personal routine, I brush with Spry toothpaste, I rense with
Spry mouthwash, and I always have Spry gum or mints
handy to chew after meals. It's simple, it's effective, and
it makes a world of difference for your long term wellness.
(26:10):
If you want to know where to find SPRY, you
can find it at your favorite local spots like CBS,
Target sprouts, and natural grossers. And if you want to
dive in deeper to the research behind it, visit Clear
dot com. It's spelled x L e a r dot com.
There are also the makers of xylotol based nasal spray
(26:31):
by the name of Clear. So your smile, your confidence,
all of that will thank you, and it's time to
start that fresh start with SPRY. All right, it's time
for our health alternative of the week. Today, we're talking
(27:05):
about the heavy hitter, the big boss, vitamin D three. Now,
let's get one thing straight, right of a gait, Calling
D three a vitamin is like calling a ferrari a scooter.
It's a massive understatement. Vitamin D three is actually a
potent neurosteroid hormone that influences over two thousand genes in
(27:31):
your body. That's nearly ten percent of your entire human genome.
So I want you to think about that, when you
are low on D three, you're not just a little tired.
You are essentially dimming the lights on your body's operating system.
You're leaving the gates wide open for invaders. We see
(27:52):
people coming into the clinic every day with chronic back pain,
that are dragging their feet with fatigue, or catching every
single buz that goes around. They're not just getting old.
I tell them, you may be just starve for the sun. Now,
why D three is the superior health alternative, it's because
(28:13):
in the world of supplements, there's a major impostor that's
called vitamin D two. You'll see that in cheap multi
vitamins and fortified cereals. But here's the shocking truth. D
two is often plant derived and it's way less effective.
Your body craves D three and it's coly calcifer all
(28:34):
that's where the stuff that your skin produces when you're
out there at the beach, and research shows that D
three is significantly more potent at raising your blood levels
and keeping than where it needs to be compared to
D two. If you want that, and you want that
to protect your bones, you need that D three to
(28:55):
absorb the calcium. And without it, you could drink a
whole gallon of milk a day and it wouldn't matter.
That calcium is just going to end up flowing through
through your veins and arteries instead of getting into your
skeletal system. So if you want to keep your brain
sharp and ward off the blues, D three is your
best friend. That's the ultimate biological insurance policy. So my
(29:18):
advice is to stop guessing, get your levels checked, ask
for twenty five hydroxy vitamin D test. You want to
be in that sweet spot of fifty to eighty nanograms
per mill leader, and you don't want to just be
in that Barreler surviving level of thirty that most tests
say is okay, we don't want you to just survive.
(29:40):
We want you to thrive for that one hundred years.
So I use vitamin D three as a cornerstone in
my practice from anything from sports rehab to holistic wellness,
because you can not heal a body that is chemically
deprived of a primary conductor. It's effective and it's a
(30:01):
game changer for your immune system, your tyre immune system.
It's vitamin D three and that is your health alternative
of the week. All right, folks, I want to just
stick around because we've got more to cover on this hour,
how to optimize your life. We're heading to a quick
break to hear from our sponsors, but don't go anywhere.
(30:22):
You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show and we'll
be right back.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Now. More than ever, it is important to have a
healthy immune system. Many health professionals agree that probiotics are
a leading natural therapy for boosting immune health. Why because
seventy percent of your body's immune cells reside in the
GI tract. By taking a superior probiotic daily, like Doctor
o Heroes probiotics, you can enhance your overall immune system
(30:55):
and immune response. The key to Doctor o Heroes success
is the five one hundred plus post biotic metabolites that
are in each capsule. Post Biotic metabolites are important to
the regulation of most systems in our body. For a
short term immune boost, try Doctor o'heres propolists Plus merging
nature and science. Doctor o'heres propolist plus combines Brazilian green propolis,

Speaker 3 (33:32):
Welcome back to help Talk America presents the Doctor Bob
Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and I'm thrilled that
you're spending this hour with us. We've been diving deep
into the world of longevity and metabolic health today and
the energy in our studio is high and we're trying
to keep it that way without the sugar crash. And
speaking of sugar crashes, we have a great question from
(33:55):
one of our listeners. Kel Kel writes in with a
problem that it's a violent epidemic in this entire country.
Kel asks what is the best way to quickly reduce
spiking your blood glucose after it occurs? And Kel was say,
thanks for this question. We've all been there. You think
you're making a healthy choice, or maybe you've decided that
(34:18):
you're enjoying that extra slice of a birthday cake, and
then suddenly you feel it. You feel like that brain
fog and the fatigue in that internal alarm bell that
goes off that's telling that your blood sugar is currently
performing this vertical climb and it seems like it's climbing
Mount Everest. And before we dive into that fire extinguisher
(34:39):
method to put out that glucose fire, let's look at
the reality I want you to know that eighty eight
percent of Americans are considered metabolically unhealthy, and that's a
huge statistic. Most of us are walking around with blood
sugar levels that resemble a rollercoaster more so than a
steady stream like we want. And when the spike happens,
(35:02):
we're not just having this temporary inconvenience. It's a direct
assault on your cellular longevity. So let's talk about how
to ground the fire and just have a cruising, steady stream.
So if you've you've checked your monitor, or you feel
like this familiar postcarb thump in your chest, the absolute
(35:25):
best thing that you can do is to move. And
I'm not talking about hitting a personal best on a
bench press or running a five K. I'm talking about
a simple, brisk, ten to fifteen minute walk. So think
of your muscles as this giant metabolic sponge. When you
engage in light physical activity, your muscles are requiring energy,
(35:46):
so you don't have to wait for that slow mail
of insulin to unlock the doors. This movement opens up
the pathways and it sucks in that excess glucose out
of your bloodstream and it burns it for fuel. It's
the most natural, effective and immediate way to blunt a
blood sugar spike. So I tell my patients all the time,
a ten minute walk after a meal is worth an
(36:09):
hour in the gym later. So if you're stuck in
an office, walk the stairs, if you're at home, pace
while you're on your phone, all you got to do
is move. Your longevity depends on your muscles ability to
go ahead and get that glucose level where it should be.
So the next step to manage a spike is often
(36:29):
overlooked as well, and that is hydration. So when your
blood sugar is high, your blood ineffectively becomes more like
maple syrup than it does water. It's thick, it's sticky,
and it's hard on your kidneys. And by drinking a
large glass or two of filtered water, you're helping your
body dilute that excess sugar and it assists your kidneys
(36:50):
in filtering at it through your urine, so proper fluid.
That balance is the grease of your metabolic engine. Without it,
your metabolic phoneunction grinds to screeching halt. So reach for
a diet soda. That's just more chemical confusion for your body.
Reach for pure clean water. It's a simple way to
support your system in in help during that blue that
(37:14):
glucose spike. So, now, if you want to arm yourself
with some serious metabolic backup, there are specific nutrients that
act like a swat team for your blood sugar. They're
not we're not talking about magic pills, but they are
powerful biochemical levers that help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.
And we're talking about magnesium chromium berberine, and we're talking
(37:38):
about a LA. It's a that's a powerful antioxidant that
helps your cells turn glucose into energy. So if you're
someone who struggle with these frequent spikes, having these in
your cabinet is a game changer. So cal while we
want you to put out that fire today, we also
want to prevent that arson from showing up tomorrow. So
(38:01):
the best way to reduce spikes is to stop them
before they start. And the secret isn't necessarily zero carbs,
it's how you dress them up. We want to build
a sugar shield around every meal. This means never eating
a naked carb. If you're going to have a potato
and apple or a piece of sour dough, you must
(38:21):
pair it with a protein or a healthy fat and
also fiber. So when you combine these macro nutrients, you
slow down that gastric emptying and so instead of the
sugar hitting your bloodstring like this wave, it's released in
a slow, steady state. This helps keep your energy stable
and your brain sharp. And also those longevity markers in
(38:43):
the green so kel your body. It's incredibly resilient if
you give it those right tools. Take a walk, drink
the water and consider the nutrients that I mentioned to
keep your metabolism heading in the right direction. And Folks,
if you want to dive deeper into these topics, or
you have a questionnaire your own you'd like me to
(39:04):
answer on air, head over to doctor Bob dot com
and drop me a line. Again, that's doctor Bob dot Com.
I remember we're a community here on the show, and
we're all in this race for better health together. All Right,
we have to step away for a very short break,
but don't go anywhere. I'm doctor Adam Brockman and this
is the Doctor Bob Martin Show. We'll be right back
after these messages. Stay tuned. Doctor Bob Martin with an
(39:45):
important message from doctor Earle Mendel, PhD. Pharmacist and author.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Mineral Welcome back to the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm
your host, doctor Adam Brockman. So today we've been talking
about the incredible resilience of the human body, and for
(41:12):
this segment, I want to pivot to something that it's
more of a story that challenges everything we know about
biological growth and stability. And it's time for our health
mystery of the week. I want you to imagine for
a second that you're tucking your six year old daughter
(41:34):
in bed. You've done this a thousand times, but tonight,
as you pull the covers up, you notice something and
something's off. Her right foot looks smaller than her left.
You shrug it off as this trick of light. But
over the next five months, the trick of the light
turns into a living nightmare. And we're talking about the
(41:56):
reality of a girl named Valerie and her family and
I to ho and Valerie was a vibrant she was
an active little girl until one month that started to
roll around something that her parents were noticing over time.
It started with a simple complaint of leg pain, the
kind of thing that we usually dismiss as growing pains
(42:17):
with our children. But instead of growing, Valerie began to
do the opposite. She began to shrink. I'm talking about
muscle wasting, invisible atrophy in her right foot that quickly
climbed up her entire right side. And we're not talking
about a little bit of weight loss. Here, folks, we
are talking about a systemic, unilateral recession. Her right ear
(42:40):
is smaller than her left, her right hand, her right arm,
her right leg, all of them physically smaller than the
corresponding parts on her left side. So she had every
test in the book and the result everything came back normal.
And in Valerie's cases, the doctors were leaning towards a
diagnosis of Hemi trophy. And that's a condition where one
(43:01):
side of the body essentially gives up growing or maintaining itself.
So some theories suggest that the left side of her brain,
the side that controls the right side of her body,
may not be developing correctly and it causes us massive
disconnect in the bioelectrical signals being sent to the body's tissues.
And for those of you that are listening at home,
(43:24):
valerie story needs to be a wake up call. According
to research, nearly one in ten Americans will suffer from
a rare disease at some point in their lives. In
many of those cases will present with normal initial testing.
So we cannot afford to be passive observers in our
own health. If you feel something is wrong, if your
gate's off. If your grip strength is fading or you
(43:44):
feel a short circuit in your system, don't let a
normal test result silence your intuition. So Valerie, she's currently
enrolled in a massive DNA research study at the University
of Utah. So again, folks, as wrapping up today's show,
I want to leave you with this, health is not
merely the absence of disease. It's the presence of vitality
(44:05):
and balance in the nervous system that needs to be
firing on all cylinders. So, whether you're dealing with a
mystery of your own or you're just trying to live
to be one hundred with the energy of a forty
year old, remember you have the power to take control. Again,
I want to thank you for tuning in today. It's
been an absolute pressure sharing these stories and the insights
with you. So I want you to stay curious, stay active,
(44:27):
and most importantly, stay healthy. This has been Health Talk

Good day to you. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and this
is the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Have you ever noticed
that the modern health news can feel like standing in
front of a fire hose with your mouth wide open.
You got one headline that tells you breakfast is killing you,
and another says that a new drug will save you.
And by the time you finish your coffee, you're not
(01:23):
sure whether you should go for a walk or hide
under your kitchen table. And that's exactly why we're here today.
I want to arm you with clarity, cut through that noise,
and to give you a practical roadmap for better living
and living longer. And here on the Doctor Bob Martin Show,
we don't just toss scary headlines at you and leave
(01:44):
you hayning. We break them down, We ask what they
really mean for your body, and most importantly, we talk
about what you can do about them starting today, and
your participation and your own health is encouraged on the show.

Again that's doctor Bob dot com spelling out the word
doctor d O C t R Bob dot com. So
(02:27):
join me as we start to uncover this hour with
the major health stories that are making waves right now,
and every one of these headlines touches real life. We're
talking about your brain, we're talking about your immune system,
we're talking about your metabolism. We're talking about your mood
and your future. So let's go ahead and dive in
with our health headlines of the week. Okay, first up,
(02:59):
let's about food, because this story, it's shocking and frankly,
it's way too relevant for the average American household. We're
talking about a large European cohort study found that people
whose diets were made up of more than thirty percent
ultra processed foods had a forty percent higher risk of
memory impairment before the age of sixty, and that should
(03:22):
stop most of us in our tracks. We're not talking
about the occasional bag of chips or a frozen pizza
on a busy Friday night. We're talking about this steady
pattern of packaged snacks and sugary cereals in these industrial breads,
fast food, the convenient meals. This dominates most of our plates.
(03:43):
In these products, they're designed to be hyper palatable, in
shelf stable, and they're very hard to stop eating. But
your brain pays a price for that convenience. If you
think of ultraprocessed foods like the static in the wiring
of your nervous system, they don't just add the calories,
They drive inflammation and blood sugar cravings and oxidative stress
(04:07):
in that metabolic dysfunction, all of which can chip away
at cognitive performance over time. And when your brain is
constantly dealing with this inflammatory stress or smoke, memory and
focus can start to slip long before anyone expects it too.
So you don't need a perfect diet to move the needle.
(04:27):
You just need to start crowding out that fake stuff
with real food. I start adding more eggs and fish, vegetables, fruit, beans, nuts,
solid oil in high quality proteins. If you shop that
perimeter of the store more often than those middle aisles
and read the labels. If the ingredient list sounds like
(04:48):
a lab experiment, that's your clue. Your brain wants nourishment,
not a chemistry experiment. So if you've been feeling foggy
or sluggish, or just not as sharp as you used
to be, this is one the first places that I'd look.
Protecting your cognition isn't about crossword puzzles and supplements. It
also starts with what lands on your fork. Now, let's
(05:12):
move on from the pantry to the hospital, because this
next story is deeply troubling. The World Health Organization has
continued sounding the alarm on antibiotic resistance, especially in healthcare settings,
where dangerous infections are learning to outsmart the very drugs
that are designed to stop them. These resistant hot zones
(05:34):
are a reminder that our old strategy of throwing antibio
antibiotics at everything is coming back to hanaus. And for decades,
antibiotics they've been used like a magic eraser. If you've
got an ear infection, you get antibiotic. A sinus pressure,
you get an antibiotic. A cough that might be viral
sometimes still an antibiotic. In that over use in both
(05:57):
medicine and agriculture has created enormous evolutionary pressure. The bacteria adapts,
and they mutate, and they share survival tricks, and before long,
what used to be treatable becomes harder to control. And
that's why this issue matters to you. Even if you're
healthy today. Antibiotic resistance isn't some distant problem. It affects
(06:22):
surgeries and wound care and dental procedures and hospital stays,
and these vulnerable patients whose immune systems are already under stress.
It can turn routine care into a risky event. So
what's the takeaway without sliding into panic. We need to
start a smarter relationship with antibiotics. Antibiotics absolutely save lives
(06:44):
when they're used appropriately, but they are not always harmless
and they're not always the answer. This is where prevention
becomes powerful. If you build the host, and that's you.
You support your immune system, You prioritize sleep, nutrition, exercise,
blood sugar control, and gut health. You ask better questions
when medications are prescribed, use when necessary and not just
(07:07):
when it's convenient. So your body it shouldn't be this battleground.
It's an ecosystem. The stronger and more resilient that that
terrain is, the better prepared you are when the exposure happens.
This is one of those headlines that sounds intimidating, but
it should motivate us. So there you have it, And
now for some good news, and honestly, I really like
(07:29):
this one. There's research out of Harvard that highlighted that
brisk walking for just twenty to thirty minutes a day
may reduce all causes of mortality by up to thirty
five percent. I want to go ahead and say that again.
One of the most powerful longevity tools on the planet
is not locked in a bottle, hidden behind a prescription pad,
(07:50):
or sold in a flashing biohacking package. It's simple. It's movement.
Walking is incredibly underrated because it just looks too simple.
People assume it if it doesn't leave you gasping on
the floor for air. It's not doing that much, but
your body responds beautifully to regular, consistent motion. Walking supports
(08:14):
circulation and insolence, sensitivity and lymphatic flow. It helps your
joints and your bones, and it also regulates your mood.
It tells your system we are alive, we are adapting,
and we're not going to shut down. In my clinics,
I see this every day. People often wait until pain
(08:35):
forces them to pay attention. But movement is one of
the best ways to keep the body from sliding into
that downrolled spiral in the first place. It's maintenance for
your machine. And let's be honest, the side effect profile
of walking is pretty amazing. You get better sleep and
better energy, and better mental clarity and better digestion and
(08:57):
overall a better attitude. If you want to live longer
and live better, start with what your body was built
to do. Walk after meals and walk in the morning,
walk during phone calls. Let's get moving all right, And finally,
let's continue this talk about mood and resilience and one
of the most overlooked nutrients that we have, and that's
(09:19):
vitamin D. In a large analysis of thirty seven studies
found that vitamin D deficiency may triple the risk of
depression in adults. It triples it. That is a huge association,
and it deserves way more attention than it gets. We
become this indoor civilization. We wake up indoors, we commute indoors,
(09:39):
we work indoors, We exercise under fluorescent lighting, and we
unwind in front of screens. Then we are surprised when
so many people are running on empty physically and emotionally.
Vitamin D is not just about bones. It functions as
a pro hormone and it influences immune balance and inflammation
(10:00):
and in brain health. So you know, if we're talking
about this, the empowering move here is simple. Get your
levels checked talk with your healthcare provider about what's optimal
and not just what barely avoids that deficiency. And get
that safe sun exposure when you can, and make sure
you got magnesium other nutrient cofactors in the picture, and
(10:21):
if supplementation is appropriate, use it intentionally. All right. So
there you have it the health headlines. But there's one
big message. Your longevity is shaped by daily choices far
more than people realize. And so don't just consume this
health news. Use it. Let it motivate you, let it
sharpen your questions, Let it push you towards habits that
(10:41):
build resistance and resilience instead of dependency. All right, folks,
So we got more to come, including practical strategies that
you can actually use in real life. I want you
to stay with us. You're listening to the Doctor Bob
Martin Show, and I'm doctor Adam Brockman. We'll be right back.
Do you know about your body's most important signaling molecule.
(11:03):
It's called nitric oxide, and without it you lose energy,
endurance in circulation from head to toe. That's where doctor
Nathan Bryan's N one oh one comes in. They're the
world's nitric oxide innovation experts back by Nobel Prize winning
science helping your body restore its natural power to expand
(11:23):
blood vessels, deliver oxygen and energize every cell. More nitric
oxide means better heart health, faster recovery, and sharper mental focus.
And whether you're an athlete dealing with blood pressure issues,

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Black guy, iorgle, what's your gift?
Speaker 4 (12:16):
And you gotta.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Turned to think about what you do with it?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
What did you do it?
Speaker 5 (12:26):
What did I do with it?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
What would I do it?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Got?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Welcome back everyone. You're listening to Health Talk America presents
the Doctor Bob Martin Show, and I'm your host, Doctor
Adam Brockman. Before we went to break, I was just
starting to digest a call that came in from Al
in Mountain Home, Arkansas, and let's go ahead and have
you take a listen.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Hi, I'm Al Mountain Home, Arkansas, the VA. Yeah, have
me get Oh geez, what do they call it? It's
like when they stick needles in you, only they stuck
in little chunks of gold in my ears. And I
(13:16):
did it about eight six eight times so far, and
I have absolutely no pain.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
After them doing that. And I was wondering if you've
heard of this.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
It seems like it's some kind of a miracle procedure.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Okay, Hey, I'm thanks what I appreciate your shoul.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Okay, Al, well, thanks for your call, and I want
to dive a little bit deeper into what you experienced.
So Al told us that during a visit to the VA,
he received a treatment where tiny pieces of gold were
placed just under the surface of the skin in his ears.
He described the relief as miraculous, taking him from chronic
(14:05):
grinding pain to a state of ease that he hadn't
felt in years. And now, to most this is going
to seem impossible, But what Al experienced is a profound
intersection of ancient wisdom and modern neurology that is known
as a recular therapy. It's a specialized form of acupuncture
(14:26):
that treats the entire body through the gateway of the
external ear. So let's go ahead and pull this back
a little bit further. Imagine that your body. It's this massive,
complex skyscraper. And usually if there's a fire on the
fourteenth floor, let's just call that your lower back, or
a plumbing issue in your basement, let's call that your
(14:47):
digestive track. You have to go to a specific floor
to fix it. A recular therapy suggests that the ear
is that security office or the main control room for
the entire building, and you have every square millimeter of
your outer ear, and that corresponds to a specific organ
(15:10):
or a system or a nerve pathway. It's a microsystem.
It's a literal map of basically your body etched into
cartilage and into your skin. And so when we stimulate
these points, we aren't just poking the ear. We are
sending a high speed fiber optic signal directly to the
brain and through that throughout the body. So these tiny
(15:34):
acupuncture needles are placed, or in Al's case, these tiny
dots that are left in the ear as a semi
permanent seed or a stimulator. So these needles are seeds
in this world of energy medicine. It's it's believed to
have specific vibrational properties that help to balance those cellular
(15:56):
fields throughout the body. And while conventional medicine might scoff
at the word vibration, neurology cannot ignore the results that
it has. So you've got research that shows that stimulating
these these these trigger points in the brain release a
flood of endorphins, your body's natural heavy hitting pain killers,
(16:19):
and it modulates how our nerves perceive threats or pain signals.
And so we know we live in this world where
the standard response to chronic pain is a prescription pad
in a good luck But here it's a staggering statistic
for you. Research into a regular therapy has shown that
(16:39):
just one week of treatment can reduce pain intensity by
approximately forty five percent, and by the fourth week that
that pain relief often deepens further, is relieved completely. So
if you compare that to the side effect profile of
long term and said or ibuprofen use or opiate use,
(17:00):
and you start to see why al says this was
a miracle. So we're talking about this non invasive drug
free intervention that is actually FDA approved and it's used
by the military. You can even in some instances call
it a battlefield acupuncture, and that is to treat trauma
(17:23):
on the front lines. So if we're talking about it's
good enough to help our veterans find that piece from services,
whether that's trauma, mentally or pain, it's certainly something that
we should be talking about basically in every clinic across America.
And then Al you also touched on something. You asked
(17:44):
if I was familiar with this, and the answer is
a resounding yes. In my practice, I don't just look
at the ear for pain. I look at these reflex
points as a way to talk to the immune system
as well, so aurricular therapy. It has been used with
incredible success for things like allergies and anxiety and even
(18:08):
addiction recovery. And this is called immune modulation. We're not
just suppressing a symptom like a maybe an anahistamine may do.
We are retraining the body's response to the world around it.
So let's talk about topic that's very relevant in Owl's
Neck of the Woods in Arkansas and across much of
(18:29):
the United States now and this is alpha gu syndrome.
And for those who don't know, this is a life
altering allergy to red meat, specifically this alpha goal sugar molecule,
and it's triggered by the bite of a lone star tick.
It is a condition where a simple burger continding into
anaphylactic shock within minutes or hours after you've eaten it.
(18:53):
So in our clinic, we use the same philosophy that
governs auricular therapy and stimulates the bodies innate, feeling intelligent
to tackle conditions like alpha gal in other complex sensitivities.
And I also want to talk about something that is
known as low dose immunotherapy or LDI. So if we
(19:15):
think of LDI as this software update for your immune system.
So instead of using these massive doses of a drug
that's going to shut down your immune response, it's introducing
these extremely diluted antigens, essentially a digital thumbprint of a
trigger to tell the T cell regulator cells to calm down.
(19:38):
So it's the same principle as what else talking about.
With these gold seeds, we're not overriding the body, we're
whispering to it we're saying, hey, that red meat protein,
that's not the enemy. You can go ahead and take
a seat down, right. So, when we combine these types
(19:59):
of comple wellness strategies, we are seeing these outcomes that
conventional medicine seems like it's impossible. So we've seen patients
who couldn't walk through a grocery store without an inflammatory
flare up suddenly find their lives again. So it's not magic.
It's the result of respecting the body's biological map and
using the right tools to help navigate it. And so
(20:23):
you know, when we're talking about this ol, you know
your story. It's a beacon of hope for anyone that's
listening who feels trapped by chronic pain or a haywire
immune system. You were told at the VA, who generally
sticks pretty tied to that conventional model of care, that
this unconventional therapy was the answer. In this case, it
(20:45):
was a regular therapy and it was the answer. So
this is a message that I want to go ahead
and leave you listeners with as we had to break.
Don't accept a life of managing symptoms when you could
be resolving the underlying dysfunction, whether it's it's through a
regular therapy or specialized probiotics to heal that gut, brain
(21:06):
access or low dose immunotherapy to to quiet and overactive
immune system. The tools for that miracle, they're already here.
You have the power, and you have to retrain your
nervous system. You have to to have the power to
demand more than a pill. We are you know, we're
(21:26):
here to help you arm with that knowledge to make
those decisions. So if you're you're dealing with chronic pain,
don't just wait for it to go away. Look into
these reflex therapies. Look into practitioners who understand that the
ear is a doorway to the to the to your
entire body and out. Thanks for your call and bring
this up. You remind us that sometimes the best way
(21:48):
to look forward is to look at what we've been
using for a thousand years or more. All Right, folks,
I want you to go ahead and stay tuned. You're
listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman,
and we'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Everybody's got mistakes, but everybody's got a choice to make.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Everybody needs to leave the faith. When are you taking yours?
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Mon?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Are you in.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Welcome back to the show. Everybody you're listening to help
Talk America presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor
Adam Brockman, and we were just talking with Al from
Mountain Home, Arkansas about his incredible journey with auricular therapy
and that's that tiny points in the ear that essentially
helped him to reboot his system. And now it sounds
(22:48):
like science fiction to some, but when you understand the
ear as a neurological microsystem, it's just pure beautiful physiology.
And Folks, if you miss part of that conversation, I
strongly encourage you to head back and listen to it
at our website through the podcast library, and that's at
doctor Bob dot com. Again, that's doctor Bob dot com
(23:11):
spelling out the word doctor docto r Bob dot com
and there you can catch it up on the show.
Because understanding how these distal points in the body can
affect your central nervous system, it's a total game changer
for anyone that has been dealing with chronic pain or
neurological hurdles. But before we jump back into more of
(23:33):
your health questions, I want to pivot to a different
kind of entry point to your health. We just talked
about the ears, but we often overlook the most significant
gateway to your internal environment, and that is your mouth.
So if you're ready to have a fresh start with
your oral care, I want to introduce you to the
(23:55):
Spry Dental Defense System. It's my personal secret to a
healthier smile in today I'm going to share it with
you because a healthy mouth it's cornerstone for a long
life in longevity and the magic ingredient with Spried Dental
Defense System is xylotol. It's a plant based powerhouse that
(24:17):
does what traditional toothpaste simply can't. Xylotol it's a structural miracle.
It helps to fight cavities, it reduces plaque in, it
helps to keep your breath fresh by targeting the very
root of the problem. Now, you see, most oral health
issues are caused by a specific type of bacteria. It's
(24:40):
a bad guy and it's called Streptococcus mutans.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
In.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
These bugs, they love sugar, but when they try to
eat xylotol, they get tricked because xylotol is something that
the bad bacteria can't digest. They literally starve to death.
The bad bacteria that is while trying to process it.
So xylotol it's a natural. It's a non toxic way
(25:05):
to clear out that biological squatters that are in your mouth.
And Spry has perfected the delivery of xylotol in every
product they make, and I'm talking about their toothpaste, Spry mouthwash, gum,
and mints. And they've done it in flavors that you
already love and enjoy, like peppermint, spearmint, and cinnamon. And
(25:26):
here's how the science works. Xylotol helps to balance the
pH in your mouth, and when your mouth is to acidic,
your enamel dissolves in that bacteria thrive. But Spry it
shifts that balance and it creates an alkaline environment where
harmful bacteria simply can't survive. It's a natural. It's a
(25:48):
proactive way to protect your teeth and your gums from
the inside out. So if you want to know my
personal routine, I brush with Spry toothpaste, I rense with
Spry mouthwash, and I always have Spry gum or mints
handy to chew after meals. It's simple, it's effective, and
it makes a world of difference for your long term wellness.
(26:10):
If you want to know where to find SPRY, you
can find it at your favorite local spots like CBS,
Target sprouts, and natural grossers. And if you want to
dive in deeper to the research behind it, visit Clear
dot com. It's spelled x L e a r dot com.
There are also the makers of xylotol based nasal spray
(26:31):
by the name of Clear. So your smile, your confidence,
all of that will thank you, and it's time to
start that fresh start with SPRY. All right, it's time
for our health alternative of the week. Today, we're talking
(27:05):
about the heavy hitter, the big boss, vitamin D three. Now,
let's get one thing straight, right of a gait, Calling
D three a vitamin is like calling a ferrari a scooter.
It's a massive understatement. Vitamin D three is actually a
potent neurosteroid hormone that influences over two thousand genes in
(27:31):
your body. That's nearly ten percent of your entire human genome.
So I want you to think about that, when you
are low on D three, you're not just a little tired.
You are essentially dimming the lights on your body's operating system.
You're leaving the gates wide open for invaders. We see
(27:52):
people coming into the clinic every day with chronic back pain,
that are dragging their feet with fatigue, or catching every
single buz that goes around. They're not just getting old.
I tell them, you may be just starve for the sun. Now,
why D three is the superior health alternative, it's because
(28:13):
in the world of supplements, there's a major impostor that's
called vitamin D two. You'll see that in cheap multi
vitamins and fortified cereals. But here's the shocking truth. D
two is often plant derived and it's way less effective.
Your body craves D three and it's coly calcifer all
(28:34):
that's where the stuff that your skin produces when you're
out there at the beach, and research shows that D
three is significantly more potent at raising your blood levels
and keeping than where it needs to be compared to
D two. If you want that, and you want that
to protect your bones, you need that D three to
(28:55):
absorb the calcium. And without it, you could drink a
whole gallon of milk a day and it wouldn't matter.
That calcium is just going to end up flowing through
through your veins and arteries instead of getting into your
skeletal system. So if you want to keep your brain
sharp and ward off the blues, D three is your
best friend. That's the ultimate biological insurance policy. So my
(29:18):
advice is to stop guessing, get your levels checked, ask
for twenty five hydroxy vitamin D test. You want to
be in that sweet spot of fifty to eighty nanograms
per mill leader, and you don't want to just be
in that Barreler surviving level of thirty that most tests
say is okay, we don't want you to just survive.
(29:40):
We want you to thrive for that one hundred years.
So I use vitamin D three as a cornerstone in
my practice from anything from sports rehab to holistic wellness,
because you can not heal a body that is chemically
deprived of a primary conductor. It's effective and it's a
(30:01):
game changer for your immune system, your tyre immune system.
It's vitamin D three and that is your health alternative
of the week. All right, folks, I want to just
stick around because we've got more to cover on this hour,
how to optimize your life. We're heading to a quick
break to hear from our sponsors, but don't go anywhere.
(30:22):
You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show and we'll
be right back.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Now. More than ever, it is important to have a
healthy immune system. Many health professionals agree that probiotics are
a leading natural therapy for boosting immune health. Why because
seventy percent of your body's immune cells reside in the
GI tract. By taking a superior probiotic daily, like Doctor
o Heroes probiotics, you can enhance your overall immune system
(30:55):
and immune response. The key to Doctor o Heroes success
is the five one hundred plus post biotic metabolites that
are in each capsule. Post Biotic metabolites are important to
the regulation of most systems in our body. For a
short term immune boost, try Doctor o'heres propolists Plus merging
nature and science. Doctor o'heres propolist plus combines Brazilian green propolis,
(31:18):
vitamin E, astaxanthon in, tocotrianols for additional and powerful immune support.
Be proactive about your immune health. Ask your retailer today

I want to stop love today.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Down to.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Welcome back to help Talk America presents the Doctor Bob
Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and I'm thrilled that
you're spending this hour with us. We've been diving deep
into the world of longevity and metabolic health today and
the energy in our studio is high and we're trying
to keep it that way without the sugar crash. And
speaking of sugar crashes, we have a great question from
(33:55):
one of our listeners. Kel Kel writes in with a
problem that it's a violent epidemic in this entire country.
Kel asks what is the best way to quickly reduce
spiking your blood glucose after it occurs? And Kel was say,
thanks for this question. We've all been there. You think
you're making a healthy choice, or maybe you've decided that
(34:18):
you're enjoying that extra slice of a birthday cake, and
then suddenly you feel it. You feel like that brain
fog and the fatigue in that internal alarm bell that
goes off that's telling that your blood sugar is currently
performing this vertical climb and it seems like it's climbing
Mount Everest. And before we dive into that fire extinguisher
(34:39):
method to put out that glucose fire, let's look at
the reality I want you to know that eighty eight
percent of Americans are considered metabolically unhealthy, and that's a
huge statistic. Most of us are walking around with blood
sugar levels that resemble a rollercoaster more so than a
steady stream like we want. And when the spike happens,
(35:02):
we're not just having this temporary inconvenience. It's a direct
assault on your cellular longevity. So let's talk about how
to ground the fire and just have a cruising, steady stream.
So if you've you've checked your monitor, or you feel
like this familiar postcarb thump in your chest, the absolute
(35:25):
best thing that you can do is to move. And
I'm not talking about hitting a personal best on a
bench press or running a five K. I'm talking about
a simple, brisk, ten to fifteen minute walk. So think
of your muscles as this giant metabolic sponge. When you
engage in light physical activity, your muscles are requiring energy,
(35:46):
so you don't have to wait for that slow mail
of insulin to unlock the doors. This movement opens up
the pathways and it sucks in that excess glucose out
of your bloodstream and it burns it for fuel. It's
the most natural, effective and immediate way to blunt a
blood sugar spike. So I tell my patients all the time,
a ten minute walk after a meal is worth an
(36:09):
hour in the gym later. So if you're stuck in
an office, walk the stairs, if you're at home, pace
while you're on your phone, all you got to do
is move. Your longevity depends on your muscles ability to
go ahead and get that glucose level where it should be.
So the next step to manage a spike is often
(36:29):
overlooked as well, and that is hydration. So when your
blood sugar is high, your blood ineffectively becomes more like
maple syrup than it does water. It's thick, it's sticky,
and it's hard on your kidneys. And by drinking a
large glass or two of filtered water, you're helping your
body dilute that excess sugar and it assists your kidneys
(36:50):
in filtering at it through your urine, so proper fluid.
That balance is the grease of your metabolic engine. Without it,
your metabolic phoneunction grinds to screeching halt. So reach for
a diet soda. That's just more chemical confusion for your body.
Reach for pure clean water. It's a simple way to
support your system in in help during that blue that
(37:14):
glucose spike. So, now, if you want to arm yourself
with some serious metabolic backup, there are specific nutrients that
act like a swat team for your blood sugar. They're
not we're not talking about magic pills, but they are
powerful biochemical levers that help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.
And we're talking about magnesium chromium berberine, and we're talking
(37:38):
about a LA. It's a that's a powerful antioxidant that
helps your cells turn glucose into energy. So if you're
someone who struggle with these frequent spikes, having these in
your cabinet is a game changer. So cal while we
want you to put out that fire today, we also
want to prevent that arson from showing up tomorrow. So
(38:01):
the best way to reduce spikes is to stop them
before they start. And the secret isn't necessarily zero carbs,
it's how you dress them up. We want to build
a sugar shield around every meal. This means never eating
a naked carb. If you're going to have a potato
and apple or a piece of sour dough, you must
(38:21):
pair it with a protein or a healthy fat and
also fiber. So when you combine these macro nutrients, you
slow down that gastric emptying and so instead of the
sugar hitting your bloodstring like this wave, it's released in
a slow, steady state. This helps keep your energy stable
and your brain sharp. And also those longevity markers in
(38:43):
the green so kel your body. It's incredibly resilient if
you give it those right tools. Take a walk, drink
the water and consider the nutrients that I mentioned to
keep your metabolism heading in the right direction. And Folks,
if you want to dive deeper into these topics, or
you have a questionnaire your own you'd like me to
(39:04):
answer on air, head over to doctor Bob dot com
and drop me a line. Again, that's doctor Bob dot Com.
I remember we're a community here on the show, and
we're all in this race for better health together. All Right,
we have to step away for a very short break,
but don't go anywhere. I'm doctor Adam Brockman and this
is the Doctor Bob Martin Show. We'll be right back
after these messages. Stay tuned. Doctor Bob Martin with an
(39:45):
important message from doctor Earle Mendel, PhD. Pharmacist and author.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Mineral Welcome back to the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm
your host, doctor Adam Brockman. So today we've been talking
about the incredible resilience of the human body, and for
(41:12):
this segment, I want to pivot to something that it's
more of a story that challenges everything we know about
biological growth and stability. And it's time for our health
mystery of the week. I want you to imagine for
a second that you're tucking your six year old daughter
(41:34):
in bed. You've done this a thousand times, but tonight,
as you pull the covers up, you notice something and
something's off. Her right foot looks smaller than her left.
You shrug it off as this trick of light. But
over the next five months, the trick of the light
turns into a living nightmare. And we're talking about the
(41:56):
reality of a girl named Valerie and her family and
I to ho and Valerie was a vibrant she was
an active little girl until one month that started to
roll around something that her parents were noticing over time.
It started with a simple complaint of leg pain, the
kind of thing that we usually dismiss as growing pains
(42:17):
with our children. But instead of growing, Valerie began to
do the opposite. She began to shrink. I'm talking about
muscle wasting, invisible atrophy in her right foot that quickly
climbed up her entire right side. And we're not talking
about a little bit of weight loss. Here, folks, we
are talking about a systemic, unilateral recession. Her right ear
(42:40):
is smaller than her left, her right hand, her right arm,
her right leg, all of them physically smaller than the
corresponding parts on her left side. So she had every
test in the book and the result everything came back normal.
And in Valerie's cases, the doctors were leaning towards a
diagnosis of Hemi trophy. And that's a condition where one
(43:01):
side of the body essentially gives up growing or maintaining itself.
So some theories suggest that the left side of her brain,
the side that controls the right side of her body,
may not be developing correctly and it causes us massive
disconnect in the bioelectrical signals being sent to the body's tissues.
And for those of you that are listening at home,
(43:24):
valerie story needs to be a wake up call. According
to research, nearly one in ten Americans will suffer from
a rare disease at some point in their lives. In
many of those cases will present with normal initial testing.
So we cannot afford to be passive observers in our
own health. If you feel something is wrong, if your
gate's off. If your grip strength is fading or you
(43:44):
feel a short circuit in your system, don't let a
normal test result silence your intuition. So Valerie, she's currently
enrolled in a massive DNA research study at the University
of Utah. So again, folks, as wrapping up today's show,
I want to leave you with this, health is not
merely the absence of disease. It's the presence of vitality
(44:05):
and balance in the nervous system that needs to be
firing on all cylinders. So, whether you're dealing with a
mystery of your own or you're just trying to live
to be one hundred with the energy of a forty
year old, remember you have the power to take control. Again,
I want to thank you for tuning in today. It's
been an absolute pressure sharing these stories and the insights
with you. So I want you to stay curious, stay active,
(44:27):
and most importantly, stay healthy. This has been Health Talk
America presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman,
and I'll see you right here next time. Until then,
