Speaker 3 (01:01):
Good day, health seekers, You are locked into Health Talk
America presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman,
and I'm fired up to be with you today. You know,
we're living in a whirlwind of medical breakthroughs, shifting guidelines
and Let's be honest, some pretty shocking headlines that are
going to change the way you look at your medicine
(01:23):
cabinet and also your social calendar, and whether you're out
for your morning walk, prepping your Sunday meal, or just
relaxing with a cup of green tea or coffee. I
want you to lean in. We've got a packed hour
ahead today. We're talking about mega dose weight loss revolution,
a silent epidemic affecting women's brains, and why your heart
(01:47):
might be on a protection clock you didn't know existed
before we dive in the deep end today. Let's remember
that this is your show. If a headline sparks a question,
or you've got a health win to share, I want
you to give us a shout at eight hundred six
zero six eight a two two. Again, that's eight hundred
(02:08):
six zero six eight eight two two. And as always,
everything we discuss, plus our deep dive archives can be
found over at doctor Bob dot com. That's spelling out
the word doctor doct o r bob dot com. All right,
so let's go ahead and get into the news that matters.
This is your health headlines for the week. We're starting
(02:40):
with a headline that hits the wires just days ago,
the FDA has officially green lit the Wagovi HD. That's
a massive seven point two milligram dose of semiglutide. And
for context, the previous ceiling for this was two point
four milligrams, So we're not just nud the needle here,
(03:00):
we are trippling it. The data from the step up
trials is staggering. We're seeing patients lose nearly twenty percent
of their body weight. That's a life changing for someone
that's struggling with morbid obesity. But and there is always
a butt in the world of high dose pharmacology, the
side effects are ramping up. Alongside that efficiency. We're seeing
(03:25):
a significant jump in diesthesia. So what is that. That's
a fancy term for skin sensations that have gone haywire.
We're talking about patients reporting burning, tingling, or extreme sensitivity
to touch, almost like a localized sunburn that really isn't there.
And if you couple that with the standard will go
(03:46):
be nausea. We're asking a lot of the human body.
And for those who hate needles, the FDA has also
approved a twenty five milligram oral version it's convenient, but
it raises the stakes on how we manage these medications
long term. So if you are on a GLP one
(04:07):
and you've hit that plateau, don't just demand that HD
version immediately. Your nervous system needs a vote here as well,
So discuss that potential for the skin sensitivity. Discuss that
with your doctor, your healthcare provider, and ensure that your
protein intake is high enough to protect your muscle mass
as that fat starts to drop off. And if you've
(04:28):
got questions about the new doses, remember you can always
ask us a question at eight hundred six zero six
eight eight two to two or by visiting our website
that's doctor Bob dot com. And next next up is
a real wake up call for the quick fixed crowd.
We've known that GLP one drugs like will Go be
an ozempic, they offer these incredible, almost unbelievable in some cases,
(04:53):
these heart protective benefits. It reduces the risk of strokes
and heart attacks. But a massive new study involving over
three hundred and thirty thousand patients has revealed a clip.
This study found that once a patient stops the medication,
those heart benefits start to evaporate. So within six months
(05:14):
the protection begins to fade, and by eighteen months the
cardiovascular risk it returns to exactly where it was before
taking the drug. So if you think of that as
like an umbrella, it keeps you dry while you're holding it,
but the second you put it down, you're getting soaked. Right.
This proves that drugs aren't curing the underlying that, in
(05:37):
this case, the metabolic dysfunction. They are simply managing it,
which in some cases is very much needed. So don't
view these medications as a six month reset. If you
plan to transition off, you also need to change your lifestyle,
your diet, your movement, your stress management. That must be
(06:00):
in place before you stop the medication. So it can't
park the car and expect it to keep moving without
an engine. All right, So this next headline, it breaks
my heart, but it's one we absolutely need to talk
about and tackle. There's new research that has uncovered a
staggering connection between social isolation in the female brain, and
(06:23):
for women that have going through menopause, being lonely or
socially isolated increases the risk of cognitive decline by eight times.
So when we talk about cognitive decline. If we're talking
about in plain English, we're talking about the brain losing
its edge. It starts to have memory lapses, the brain
(06:44):
fog in a faster slide towards dementia and menopause is
already a period of massive hormonal transition. And so when
you add that with loneliness into this mix, it creates
a neurological perfect storm. Our brains, they're social organs. They
(07:04):
require the voltage of human interaction to stay sharp. So
this is a social prescription here. If you are in
this stage of life, your social calendar is just as
important as a calcium supplement. So join a walking club,
a book club or group, or a community garden. Reach
(07:25):
out to one person each day. Protecting your brain requires
protecting your tribe as well. And we have new guidelines
for dyslipidemia, which is a medical term for unhealthy levels
of fat in the blood, and it's officially officially it's shifted.
The medical community is finally realizing that waiting until someone
(07:48):
is fifty five or sixty to look at their arteries
is like waiting for a house to be on fire
before checking the smoke detector. This new push, it's easy
in it's earlier for heart screening, specifically utilizing calcium scans.
These are quick scans and they look for hard plaque
(08:10):
in your coronary arteries. We're also looking at advanced lipid
markers like APO B and LPA, which give us a
much clearer picture of your risk rather than just the
total cholesterol levels. So we're seeing forty year olds with
arteries of seventy year olds because of processed diets and
(08:32):
sedentary lifestyles, and catching this early means we can reverse
that trend without needing a bypass surgery down the line.
So for you listening, you can ask your doctor for
a baseline heart health panel that includes a calcium scan
in that ApoB test. Knowledge is power, but only if
(08:54):
you have it before that event happens. So we have
to also talk about what's happened in South Carolina. We're
seeing a surge that has hit nearly a thousand cases
and we're talking about that measles in twenty twenty six.
This is shocking. The measles isn't just a rash in
a fever. It's a highly contagious respiratory virus that can
(09:16):
lead to serious complications. So the big part of this
is how quickly it spreads in pockets and where vaccine
uptake has dropped. And this is not to be a
political debate. It's a biological reality. When the herd immunity
breaks that the most vulnerable among us infants in those
(09:37):
immunal compromise are the ones that pay the price. So
if you're a nice high outbreak, areas ensure that you
and your family or protected boost your immune system, look
at your community health. So, folks, the world of health
is moving faster than ever, from the seven point two
milligram injections to that simple, profound power of a conversation
that can save your brain. The common trend in control.
(10:01):
You have the power to take control of your longevity.
You're not a passenger in your own body. You are
the pilot, whether it's getting that calcium scan, joining a
social group, or being cautious with the latest megadose trend.
Your choices today dictate the quality of life ten years
from now. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and it's a privilege
(10:23):

zero eight two four or Americanholisticcare dot com. Just welcome
(12:35):
back to Health Talk America. You're listening to the Doctor
Bob Martin Show, and I'm doctor Adam Brockman, your guide
through the wilderness of modern wellness. This month is National
Nutrition Month, and I want to discuss this today. Now.
I know what some of you are already thinking, Oh great,
another month where someone tells me I can't have my
(12:58):
Friday night pizza. But hang on for a second, and
we're not talking about deprivation. We're talking about propulsion. We're
talking about the high octane biofuel that determines whether your
body runs like a precision tuned Italian sports car or
a rusted out today and that's been left in the
(13:20):
field since nineteen ninety four. So if you're just joining us,
you can always catch the full archives of this show
over at Doctor Bob dot com. Again, that's doctor Bob
dot com. Spell with the word doctor doct r Bob
dot com. And remember our phone lines are open. If
you've got a question about your own internal fuel tank,
(13:42):
you can give us a rain at eight hundred six
zero six eight eight two two. Again that's eight hundred
six zero six eight eight two two. So let's go
ahead and get real for a minute. We're living in
a time of nutritional irony. We have more food available
to us than any civilization in human history, yet we
(14:03):
are arguably the most malnourished generation to walk the earth.
And you think, well, how is that possible? Because we've
swapped food for food like substances. I call it nutritional bankruptcy.
We are overfed but undernourished. We are filling our bellies
(14:25):
with nutritional ghost towns. Or we're talking about processed snacks
in convenient meals. You know, we're talking about you know,
in our body, our body's chemistry, the enzymes, the vitality,
they're processed right out of our foods. It's shocking to
realize that nearly sixty percent I think maybe even higher
than that of our calories against sixty percent of our
(14:47):
calories in the American diet now are from ultra processed foods.
These aren't just empty calories. These are biological disruptors. They
mess with your whole They spike your insulin levels, your
blood sugar levels, and they send a red alert signal
to your immune system that triggers systemic inflammation. And when
(15:11):
we talk about chronic diseases, you know, the diabetes, the
heart disease, the obesity, we often treat them like they
are just random lightning bolts from the sky, and they aren't.
Research shows that a huge eighty percent of chronic conditions
are directly linked to lifestyle and diet. Let me repeat
(15:33):
that eighty percent of chronic conditions are linked to lifestyle
and diet. That that should be a wake up call
for all of us, but more importantly, it should also
be an empowerment call. It means that the steering wheel
is in your hands. So in my practices, I don't
(15:53):
just look at how you are moving today. I look
at how you're going to be moving twenty years from now.
If you want to use the term biohacking, I want
to see you biohack your way to one hundred, which
is something we've talked about on the show before and
nutrition is the foundation of that longevity. And so every
(16:17):
time you pick up a fork, you are literally talking
to your genes. It's called nutri genomics. It's the signals
of repair and thrive, or it can make signals of
decay and decline. And if you think about your cells
like a construction site, if you are sending the workers
(16:37):
nothing but cheap, flimsy plastic instead of solid steel in
season timber, the building just isn't going to stand the
test of time. Your steel is your high quality proteins,
your timber is your healthy fats, and your electrical system
is that vast array of vitamins and minerals that are
(16:59):
found and colorful and whole foods. So this year we're
you know, this month here we're talking about nutrition and
uh and it, you know, urge you to power your
day with that nutrition. It shifts the focus from what
can't I have to what can I add to make
(17:20):
me feel more like a superhero. We need to stop
looking at the grocery store as a place to satisfy
cravings and start looking at as a as a pharmacy.
When you walk into that produce section, you are looking
at nature's most potent medicine. Those deep reds in your beats,
(17:41):
they are are essential for supporting detoxification and heart health.
And the vibrant blues that are in blueberries. They act
as a shield for your brain with those antioxidants. So
we've got to get to get back to that power
of color. If your plate is mostly beige or brown
(18:02):
bread or meat potatoes, you're missing out on the spectrum
of light and energy that your body needs to fight
off oxidative stress. I tell my patients all the time,
if it comes from a plant, eat it. If it's
made in a plant, we're talking about a factory, got
to be you gotta be careful of those choices. Moderation
is the key there. And I know, I know it's
(18:26):
tempting to look for that magic pill, like we just
talked about in our health headlines about the new megadose
weight loss drugs and also these latest reset buttons, And
while those do have their place in clinical medicine, they're
not a substitute for the fundamental building blocks of human
(18:46):
health that you need through nutrition. And in fact, new
data is suggesting that the heart protective benefits of some
of these blockbuster. The drugs, the weight loss drugs can
actually start to fade this, as we discussed in the
health headlines, if the underlying nutritional intake isn't addressed. It's
(19:08):
a classic case of conventional versus holistic medicine. I don't
want to give you just the what. I also want
to show you the how. So here are just three
simple steps that you can do today to celebrate Nutrition
Month and start firing up your own health. Let's talk
about a eighty twenty rule, but maybe make it with
(19:31):
a twist. So aim for eighty percent of your food
to be from single ingredient foods. If the ingredient list
is just apple or salmon or spinach, you're winning. In
the other twenty percent, that's your wiggle room, that's your moderation.
So life is for living, right after all? Right, you
can't deprive yourself all the time. And I also wants
(19:52):
you to hydrate with intent, and before you reach for
that second cup of coffee or a diet soft drink,
drink sixteen ounces of pure filtered water. Your cell They
need a fluid environment to conduct the business of life.
So dehydration is often mistaken for hunger and it's the
fastest way to feel sluggish and foggy. And go ahead
(20:15):
and audit your pantry this month. Go through your cabinets.
If you see high fruitose, corn syrup, or hydrogenated oils,
or a list of chemicals that you can't pronounce, consider
it hazard waste. Toss it. Your body will thank you
for that. So we are arming you with the truth
because we want you to take control of your health destiny.
(20:37):
You aren't a victim of genetics as you may have
been told. You're actually the architect of your own health
and vitality. And folks, we've got a massive community of
like minded health seekers that I want you to take
advantage of on our social media pages. Go find us

That's eight hundred six zero six eight eight to two
(23:02):
to two. All right, folks, If you are ready for
a fresh start when it comes to your oral health,
then it's time you meet the Spry Dental Defense System.
It's a natural, science based way to protect your smile.
Spry is more than toothpaste and mouthwash. It's a full
system designed to support your teeth and gums day after day.
(23:25):
I've personally made it part of my routine and let
me tell you, my dentis can tell the difference. And
if you're asking what makes Spry stand out, it's one
powerful plant based ingredient and that's xylotol. And this isn't
your average sweetener. Xylotol is nature's way of saying goodbye
to cavities and plaque while keeping your breath fresh all
(23:47):
day long. You see harmful bacteria in your mouth love sugar,
but they can't digest xylotol. Instead. When you use Spry products,
those bad bacteria they're star out and your mouth stays imbalanced,
it stays in a healthy state, and your enamel stays strong.
And the Spry system uses xylotol in every product, from
(24:11):
their refreshing toothpaste and soothing mouthwashes to their delicious gum
and mints. And you can choose classic flavors like peppermint
or spearmint, or you can you can even choose warming cinnamon,
and each one leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean,
without harsh chemicals or artificial aftertastes. It's a smart way
(24:32):
to care for your smile naturally. And here's my daily routine,
and this is what it looks like. I brush with
Spry toothpaste, I rinse with Spry mouthwash, and I grab
a piece of Spry xylotol gum after meals. It's quick,
it's easy, and it works around the clock. The healthier
your mouth in, the healthier you are. And it starts
(24:54):
with that oral health connection, and it's directly a gateway
to your entire body, from your heart to your immune system.
And whether you're shopping at CBS, Target sprouts or natural grossers,
you'll find Spry ready to join in your routine. And
if you're curious to learn more about how xylotol supports
overall health and wellness, including that oral cavity, visit Clear
(25:15):
dot com. That's spelled x L e a r dot com.
They also make a xylotol based nasal spray, which you
can find out more about there at clear dot com.
So your smile, it's your introduction to the world, so
why not make it into your healthiest feature. Protect it
the natural way with the spray dental defense system. Your
(25:37):
teeth will feel cleaner, your breath fresher, and your confidence
higher than ever. So go ahead, make this the day
you give your smile a fresh start with Spry. All right,
it's time for this week's health alternative. I want you
(26:06):
to picture your DNA like a high security vault, and
modern life keeps trying to pick that lock. We got
exhaust fumes and industrial chemicals, pesticide residues, even that new
car smell. It all adds up to this daily molecular
mess that your body has to process. And so as
(26:27):
we're continuing this nutrition moth, let's dive in today to
the microscopic world of your cells, where longevity is either
getting built or it's quietly being bulldozed. And most people
look at nutrition like a simple math equation. You got
calories in versus calories out. But if you've been hanging
out with us for some time on the show, you
(26:49):
know that that's high school level stuff. We're moving on
to a different level of wellness today. We're not just
talking about fueling your body. We're talking about programming biological software.
So every single breath that you take in our modern world,
especially if you live in a city or near an
industrial zone, that's a gamble. We are swimming in the
(27:11):
sea of benzene pollutants and oxidative stress. But what if
I told you that there was a master switch inside
your DNA that could flip on a localized pharmacy producing
the most powerful antioxidants that are known to man. So
this week's health alternative isn't a fancy new pharmaceutical drug
(27:33):
with a list of side effects longer than a CBS receipt.
It's a compound called sephora fane and it's found in
a humble little vegetable that you probably pushed around your
plate as a kit. So let's be honest. The standard
American diet is it's a cellular disaster. We are overfed
and under nourished. But the real strategy is how we've
(27:55):
lost our ability to detoxify. Our bodies are equipped with
phase two detoxification system. It's a built in ganitor crew
that mops up these carcinogens and neutralizes free radicals. But
the problem is that the crew has been on strike
for decades because we're not giving them the right chemical signals.
(28:18):
This is where most people reach for a vitamin C
tablet or a generic multi vitamin. Now, don't get me wrong,
those are fine, we need those, but direct antioxidants are
the one and done. One molecule of vitamin C neutralizes
one free radical and then it's spent. It's like trying
to put out a forest fire with a single squirt gun.
(28:40):
So we need to sprinkler system. We need a fire hydrant.
We need to activate something known as the n r
F two pathway. So if you want to live to
be one hundred, or live healthy through the years that
you are and actually enjoy that ride, you need to
memorize these four characters and r F two. Think of
(29:01):
nr F two as a master regulator or a general
of your cellular defense. When n r F two is activated,
it travels through the nucleus of your cells and it
tells your DNA to start cranking out antioxidants like glutathione
or other catalysts for this. These aren't just settlements that
(29:21):
you swallow. These are heavy hitters your body actually creates internally.
So one molecule of n r F two activated enzyme,
it can neutralize thousands of free radicals every second, and
it works for hours, even days. It's the ultimate DNA
detox in. The most potent natural activator of this pathway
(29:42):
is it's sulfur of fame. And now this is this
is what matters here because it's very simple. It's in.
It's in brocoly So if you want that real biological gold,
you have to go even smaller. I'm talking about broccol sprouts.
Research has shown that three day old broccoli sprouts contain
(30:03):
anywhere from fifty to one hundred times the concentration of
the precursor of Sephora fane than a mature plant. So
you could literally eat a bucket of steam broccoli and
still not get the NRF two activation you get from
a small handful of fresh sprouts on your salad every day.
It's broccoli sprouts. It's pretty simple, it's easy to find,
(30:26):
it's readily available. So again, folks, if you have questions
how to integrate this into a specific health regime, or
if you have a chronic issue that you're dealing with,
or you need a nutritional intervention, you can always reach
out to us. So don't let DNA be a victim
of your environment. Arm yourself with the science of sulfora
fane and broccoli sprouts. That's been your health alternative of
(30:49):
the week, the DNA detox broccoli sprouts. All right, don't
go anywhere. When we come back from a quick break,
we'll keep the momentum going with more smart, practical ways
to protect your by in a not so healthy well.
This is the doctor Bob Martinshell, Doctor Bob Martin with

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Sorry, the number one.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Welcome back to the Doctor Bob Martin Show right here
on Health Talk America. Doctor Adam Brockman with you today
and again. We've been talking about nutrition moth and I
want you to picture something inflammation. It's not like a
loud siren. It's more like a slow, smoky kitchen fire
that's behind a You don't always see it, you don't
(34:03):
always feel it, until those alarms go off as joint
pain or stubborn belly fat, high blood pressure, brain fog,
or labs that suddenly look troubling. And here's the part
I want you to know. Chronic inflammatory diseases are linked
to nearly sixty percent of deaths worldwide. That's why I
don't really care about your chronological age. I care about
(34:26):
your biological age. That's the real world wear and tear
that's happening inside your tissues right now. And one of
the most common markers we look at is see reactive protein.
And if the CRP is elevated, your body is basically
in a tinder box. It's it's prime to flare. But
you don't always have to wait for a lab test
(34:47):
to start putting out that fire. So today we're going
to talk about something that's simple, doable, and surprisingly powerful,
and that's a few basic anti inflammatory drinks. Now, let's
this isn't permission to eat ultra process junk all day
and cancel it out with a magic tea at night.
This is about stacking those odds in your favor, and
(35:08):
that's one smart choice at a time. So let's go
ahead and dive in. Let's start with the gold standard
and that's green tea. And if you aren't sipping this
on a regular basis, you're leaving a major longevity tool
on the table. You see, green tea is loaded with
a powerhouse polyphenol that helps to neutralize oxidative stress, which
(35:29):
that oxidative stress, as we discuss, is like brust on
your cells. And this is why green tea shows up
in so many those centurian conversations, the ones that live longer.
It doesn't just support your inflammation balance, it supports your
gut microbiome. And roughly seventy percent of your immune system
(35:51):
is tied to the gut associated lymph tissue. So the
translation is when your gut is inflamed, your whole system
pays the price. And those here's a quick reality check.
Those coffee shop green tea lattes are often more milk
and sugar dessert than actually a health drink. So if
your goal is to cool that inflammation, sugar is continuing
(36:14):
to be that gasoline. So keep it simple, plain green
tea macha with unsweetened milk or even a squeeze of lemon.
So for the sports medicine crowd and honestly, anybody with
cranky joints. This next drink is big. It's it's tart
cherry juice. It's packed with anthoscians that those are the
(36:34):
pigments that give cherries that deep red color, and these
compounds are well known for helping reduce exercise, induce muscle soreness,
and also systemic inflammation. So in practice, I've seen people
with gout tendencies and nagging joint pain do really well
adding tart cherry consistently, and it's not crazy to see
(36:54):
something like a thirty to fifty percent reduction in flare
ups for some folks when the rest their lifestyle is
moving in that right direction too. So next up, let's
talk about kombuka. And I get it that fermented smell
can be a little intense, but if you're dealing with
chronic inflammation, we have to talk about this. A lot
(37:15):
of systemic inflammation starts with gut dysfunction and when people
commonly call leaky gut, where the barrier gets irritated and
you end up with more immune activation than you should.
Systemic inflammation, right, So, kombuka can deliver live cultures plus
plant compounds like those polyphenols, which help to support a
(37:35):
healthier gut environment. So let's talk about ginger. Ginger contains compounds,
and these aren't just tummy remedy type of compounds. These
are inhibit these pro inflammation cid of kins, which are
basically like chemical text messages that tell your immune system
to stay on high alert. So I'm a big fan
(37:56):
of ginger tea because it's simple and it's cheap, and
if you're waking up stiff, or you're feeling puffy, or
your digestion of sluggish, this is one of the easiest
swaps that you can make. Fresh ginger slices steeped in
hot water and maybe a little lemon and that's it.
It's like turning down the volume on inflammation without needing
a medicine cabinet full of stuff. So this next one
(38:19):
is when I get asked about quite a bit. It's
tumeric and it's the active compound in curcumin, and research
suggests that it can influence up to fifty different inflammatory
pathways in a body, and that's a wide net. But
we've got to be honest about the fine print kurcumin.
We need to increase its bioavailability. So if you're just
(38:39):
sprinkling turmeric into hot water. You're not doing the trick here.
So to actually get kurcumin into your system, you also
want two things, and that's black pepper in a healthy fat.
So that's why I've suggested before a golden milk, and
it works so well. Use coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk,
add turmeric, a pinch of black pepper, maybe cinnamon, and
(39:01):
now you've got a kitchen spice into something that behaves
more like a targeted anti inflammatory tool. So the difference
between that nice idea in this actually moves the needle
is again that black pepper in the healthy fat. And
last on the list today is pomegrant juice, and this
is one of those small amount, big benefit drinks, and
(39:24):
it contains these unique compounds that are only found in
pomegrant that are like antioxidants, and it's been studied for
cardiovascular support and in some research pomegrant intake has even
been associated with improvements and markers that are tied to
that carotid artery health. And so the translation here is
better blood flow and it decreases that inflammatory grime build
(39:47):
up when you don't want it. So here's the truth.
Inflammation doesn't always have to respond to one heroic choice.
It can respond to a pattern. And if you increase
that pro inflammatory lifestyle, well you will do that. So
decrease your ultra processed foods, your sugar intake, and maybe
and add some of these drinks in the mix. All right, folks,
(40:08):
we're coming up on a brake. Stay right there. We're
going to hit our final stretch with the help mystery.
You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 5 (40:19):
Have you ever heard someone say that probiotics didn't work
for them. Since all probiotics are not the same, the
probiotic you choose can make the difference between superior results
and no results. Look for an enriched formula containing these
three key components for best results. Probiotics, prebiotics, and post biotics.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
You can Doctor dot Old Banging. Welcome back to Health
Talk America presents The Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm your host,
Doctor Adam Brockman. Today we're gonna wrap up with our
health mystery. We're diving into a health mystery that affects millions.
(41:59):
It is often treated with the medical equivalent of putting
a piece of tape over a flashing check engine light.
I'm talking about a chronic soul crushing heartburn that refuses
to quit. So let's go ahead and set the scene.
I had a patient come in recently. Jim is fifty two.
He's active, he watches his macros in, he's a regular
at the gym. But for two years Jim felt like
(42:23):
he was swallowing a little blowtorch every time he ate
a steak or a piece of chicken. He did what
many people do. He went and he got a prescription
for a proton pump inhibitor a PPI. So he took
the little purple pill and the fire dimmed, but it
never went out. Then came the side effects, the bloating,
the fatigue, the weird heaviness after meals. So he tried
(42:45):
to switch his diet with no spicy food and no
coffee and let's just say no fun. Right. Still, the
burning persisted. His doctors they told him they had something
known as refractory gird and he might need a higher
dose of acid blocks for the rest of his life.
But here's the problem. Jim wasn't suffering from too much
stomach acid. He was suffering from a little cork shaped
(43:09):
invader that was actually lowering his acid at dangerous levels.
So as a medical detective, you have to ask why
is the body behaving this way. If PPIs weren't working,
it's because they were treating the symptom and not the source.
So I ordered a specific breath test in a comprehensive
stool analysis. So the result was this huge overgrowth of
(43:34):
h Pylori and now H. Plori. It's a fascinating, devious bacteria.
It doesn't just hain out in your gut. It burrows
into the mucous lining of your stomach. So to survive
this acidic environment, it secretes an enzyme and this neutralizes
the acid around it, So it essentially creates its own
(43:56):
safe zone by making your stomach less acidic. So you
might be thinking, well, wait, doctor Adam, what if it
makes this the stomach less acidic, why does Jim feel
like this has its burn? Well, this is a great
paradox of the GI system. When your stomach acid is
too low, your food doesn't digest. It starts to just
(44:18):
sit there and ferments, and it creates gas and it
pushes that tiny bit of remaining acid back up through
the esophagus. So the burning isn't from high acid, it's
from the wrong acid in the wrong place. So, instead
of more acid blockers, which would have played right in
the hands of the bacteria, we went the other way.
We used a natural protocol designed to eradicate that H.
(44:41):
Pylori without nuking the rest of his microbiome in his gut.
So we brought in some heavy hitters mastic gum, and
that's a resin from the Mediterranean that has been shown
to physically disrupt the H. Pylori cell wall. All right,
there you have it. So this wraps up this hour
of the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor ad and
Brahman and I want to thank you for spending this
(45:02):
time with me and please join us next time.

eight twenty two.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It's the Doctor Bob Martin and Show.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Good day, health seekers, You are locked into Health Talk
America presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman,
and I'm fired up to be with you today. You know,
we're living in a whirlwind of medical breakthroughs, shifting guidelines
and Let's be honest, some pretty shocking headlines that are
going to change the way you look at your medicine
(01:23):
cabinet and also your social calendar, and whether you're out
for your morning walk, prepping your Sunday meal, or just
relaxing with a cup of green tea or coffee. I
want you to lean in. We've got a packed hour
ahead today. We're talking about mega dose weight loss revolution,
a silent epidemic affecting women's brains, and why your heart
(01:47):
might be on a protection clock you didn't know existed
before we dive in the deep end today. Let's remember
that this is your show. If a headline sparks a question,
or you've got a health win to share, I want
you to give us a shout at eight hundred six
zero six eight a two two. Again, that's eight hundred
(02:08):
six zero six eight eight two two. And as always,
everything we discuss, plus our deep dive archives can be
found over at doctor Bob dot com. That's spelling out
the word doctor doct o r bob dot com. All right,
so let's go ahead and get into the news that matters.
This is your health headlines for the week. We're starting
(02:40):
with a headline that hits the wires just days ago,
the FDA has officially green lit the Wagovi HD. That's
a massive seven point two milligram dose of semiglutide. And
for context, the previous ceiling for this was two point
four milligrams, So we're not just nud the needle here,
(03:00):
we are trippling it. The data from the step up
trials is staggering. We're seeing patients lose nearly twenty percent
of their body weight. That's a life changing for someone
that's struggling with morbid obesity. But and there is always
a butt in the world of high dose pharmacology, the
side effects are ramping up. Alongside that efficiency. We're seeing
(03:25):
a significant jump in diesthesia. So what is that. That's
a fancy term for skin sensations that have gone haywire.
We're talking about patients reporting burning, tingling, or extreme sensitivity
to touch, almost like a localized sunburn that really isn't there.
And if you couple that with the standard will go
(03:46):
be nausea. We're asking a lot of the human body.
And for those who hate needles, the FDA has also
approved a twenty five milligram oral version it's convenient, but
it raises the stakes on how we manage these medications
long term. So if you are on a GLP one
(04:07):
and you've hit that plateau, don't just demand that HD
version immediately. Your nervous system needs a vote here as well,
So discuss that potential for the skin sensitivity. Discuss that
with your doctor, your healthcare provider, and ensure that your
protein intake is high enough to protect your muscle mass
as that fat starts to drop off. And if you've
(04:28):
got questions about the new doses, remember you can always
ask us a question at eight hundred six zero six
eight eight two to two or by visiting our website
that's doctor Bob dot com. And next next up is
a real wake up call for the quick fixed crowd.
We've known that GLP one drugs like will Go be
an ozempic, they offer these incredible, almost unbelievable in some cases,
(04:53):
these heart protective benefits. It reduces the risk of strokes
and heart attacks. But a massive new study involving over
three hundred and thirty thousand patients has revealed a clip.
This study found that once a patient stops the medication,
those heart benefits start to evaporate. So within six months
(05:14):
the protection begins to fade, and by eighteen months the
cardiovascular risk it returns to exactly where it was before
taking the drug. So if you think of that as
like an umbrella, it keeps you dry while you're holding it,
but the second you put it down, you're getting soaked. Right.
This proves that drugs aren't curing the underlying that, in
(05:37):
this case, the metabolic dysfunction. They are simply managing it,
which in some cases is very much needed. So don't
view these medications as a six month reset. If you
plan to transition off, you also need to change your lifestyle,
your diet, your movement, your stress management. That must be
(06:00):
in place before you stop the medication. So it can't
park the car and expect it to keep moving without
an engine. All right, So this next headline, it breaks
my heart, but it's one we absolutely need to talk
about and tackle. There's new research that has uncovered a
staggering connection between social isolation in the female brain, and
(06:23):
for women that have going through menopause, being lonely or
socially isolated increases the risk of cognitive decline by eight times.
So when we talk about cognitive decline. If we're talking
about in plain English, we're talking about the brain losing
its edge. It starts to have memory lapses, the brain
(06:44):
fog in a faster slide towards dementia and menopause is
already a period of massive hormonal transition. And so when
you add that with loneliness into this mix, it creates
a neurological perfect storm. Our brains, they're social organs. They
(07:04):
require the voltage of human interaction to stay sharp. So
this is a social prescription here. If you are in
this stage of life, your social calendar is just as
important as a calcium supplement. So join a walking club,
a book club or group, or a community garden. Reach
(07:25):
out to one person each day. Protecting your brain requires
protecting your tribe as well. And we have new guidelines
for dyslipidemia, which is a medical term for unhealthy levels
of fat in the blood, and it's officially officially it's shifted.
The medical community is finally realizing that waiting until someone
(07:48):
is fifty five or sixty to look at their arteries
is like waiting for a house to be on fire
before checking the smoke detector. This new push, it's easy
in it's earlier for heart screening, specifically utilizing calcium scans.
These are quick scans and they look for hard plaque
(08:10):
in your coronary arteries. We're also looking at advanced lipid
markers like APO B and LPA, which give us a
much clearer picture of your risk rather than just the
total cholesterol levels. So we're seeing forty year olds with
arteries of seventy year olds because of processed diets and
(08:32):
sedentary lifestyles, and catching this early means we can reverse
that trend without needing a bypass surgery down the line.
So for you listening, you can ask your doctor for
a baseline heart health panel that includes a calcium scan
in that ApoB test. Knowledge is power, but only if
(08:54):
you have it before that event happens. So we have
to also talk about what's happened in South Carolina. We're
seeing a surge that has hit nearly a thousand cases
and we're talking about that measles in twenty twenty six.
This is shocking. The measles isn't just a rash in
a fever. It's a highly contagious respiratory virus that can
(09:16):
lead to serious complications. So the big part of this
is how quickly it spreads in pockets and where vaccine
uptake has dropped. And this is not to be a
political debate. It's a biological reality. When the herd immunity
breaks that the most vulnerable among us infants in those
(09:37):
immunal compromise are the ones that pay the price. So
if you're a nice high outbreak, areas ensure that you
and your family or protected boost your immune system, look
at your community health. So, folks, the world of health
is moving faster than ever, from the seven point two
milligram injections to that simple, profound power of a conversation
that can save your brain. The common trend in control.
(10:01):
You have the power to take control of your longevity.
You're not a passenger in your own body. You are
the pilot, whether it's getting that calcium scan, joining a
social group, or being cautious with the latest megadose trend.
Your choices today dictate the quality of life ten years
from now. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and it's a privilege

(12:35):
back to Health Talk America. You're listening to the Doctor
Bob Martin Show, and I'm doctor Adam Brockman, your guide
through the wilderness of modern wellness. This month is National
Nutrition Month, and I want to discuss this today. Now.
I know what some of you are already thinking, Oh great,
another month where someone tells me I can't have my
(12:58):
Friday night pizza. But hang on for a second, and
we're not talking about deprivation. We're talking about propulsion. We're
talking about the high octane biofuel that determines whether your
body runs like a precision tuned Italian sports car or
a rusted out today and that's been left in the
(13:20):
field since nineteen ninety four. So if you're just joining us,
you can always catch the full archives of this show
over at Doctor Bob dot com. Again, that's doctor Bob
dot com. Spell with the word doctor doct r Bob
dot com. And remember our phone lines are open. If
you've got a question about your own internal fuel tank,
(13:42):
you can give us a rain at eight hundred six
zero six eight eight two two. Again that's eight hundred
six zero six eight eight two two. So let's go
ahead and get real for a minute. We're living in
a time of nutritional irony. We have more food available
to us than any civilization in human history, yet we
(14:03):
are arguably the most malnourished generation to walk the earth.
And you think, well, how is that possible? Because we've
swapped food for food like substances. I call it nutritional bankruptcy.
We are overfed but undernourished. We are filling our bellies
(14:25):
with nutritional ghost towns. Or we're talking about processed snacks
in convenient meals. You know, we're talking about you know,
in our body, our body's chemistry, the enzymes, the vitality,
they're processed right out of our foods. It's shocking to
realize that nearly sixty percent I think maybe even higher
than that of our calories against sixty percent of our
(14:47):
calories in the American diet now are from ultra processed foods.
These aren't just empty calories. These are biological disruptors. They
mess with your whole They spike your insulin levels, your
blood sugar levels, and they send a red alert signal
to your immune system that triggers systemic inflammation. And when
(15:11):
we talk about chronic diseases, you know, the diabetes, the
heart disease, the obesity, we often treat them like they
are just random lightning bolts from the sky, and they aren't.
Research shows that a huge eighty percent of chronic conditions
are directly linked to lifestyle and diet. Let me repeat
(15:33):
that eighty percent of chronic conditions are linked to lifestyle
and diet. That that should be a wake up call
for all of us, but more importantly, it should also
be an empowerment call. It means that the steering wheel
is in your hands. So in my practices, I don't
(15:53):
just look at how you are moving today. I look
at how you're going to be moving twenty years from now.
If you want to use the term biohacking, I want
to see you biohack your way to one hundred, which
is something we've talked about on the show before and
nutrition is the foundation of that longevity. And so every
(16:17):
time you pick up a fork, you are literally talking
to your genes. It's called nutri genomics. It's the signals
of repair and thrive, or it can make signals of
decay and decline. And if you think about your cells
like a construction site, if you are sending the workers
(16:37):
nothing but cheap, flimsy plastic instead of solid steel in
season timber, the building just isn't going to stand the
test of time. Your steel is your high quality proteins,
your timber is your healthy fats, and your electrical system
is that vast array of vitamins and minerals that are
(16:59):
found and colorful and whole foods. So this year we're
you know, this month here we're talking about nutrition and
uh and it, you know, urge you to power your
day with that nutrition. It shifts the focus from what
can't I have to what can I add to make
(17:20):
me feel more like a superhero. We need to stop
looking at the grocery store as a place to satisfy
cravings and start looking at as a as a pharmacy.
When you walk into that produce section, you are looking
at nature's most potent medicine. Those deep reds in your beats,
(17:41):
they are are essential for supporting detoxification and heart health.
And the vibrant blues that are in blueberries. They act
as a shield for your brain with those antioxidants. So
we've got to get to get back to that power
of color. If your plate is mostly beige or brown
(18:02):
bread or meat potatoes, you're missing out on the spectrum
of light and energy that your body needs to fight
off oxidative stress. I tell my patients all the time,
if it comes from a plant, eat it. If it's
made in a plant, we're talking about a factory, got
to be you gotta be careful of those choices. Moderation
is the key there. And I know, I know it's
(18:26):
tempting to look for that magic pill, like we just
talked about in our health headlines about the new megadose
weight loss drugs and also these latest reset buttons, And
while those do have their place in clinical medicine, they're
not a substitute for the fundamental building blocks of human
(18:46):
health that you need through nutrition. And in fact, new
data is suggesting that the heart protective benefits of some
of these blockbuster. The drugs, the weight loss drugs can
actually start to fade this, as we discussed in the
health headlines, if the underlying nutritional intake isn't addressed. It's
(19:08):
a classic case of conventional versus holistic medicine. I don't
want to give you just the what. I also want
to show you the how. So here are just three
simple steps that you can do today to celebrate Nutrition
Month and start firing up your own health. Let's talk
about a eighty twenty rule, but maybe make it with
(19:31):
a twist. So aim for eighty percent of your food
to be from single ingredient foods. If the ingredient list
is just apple or salmon or spinach, you're winning. In
the other twenty percent, that's your wiggle room, that's your moderation.
So life is for living, right after all? Right, you
can't deprive yourself all the time. And I also wants
(19:52):
you to hydrate with intent, and before you reach for
that second cup of coffee or a diet soft drink,
drink sixteen ounces of pure filtered water. Your cell They
need a fluid environment to conduct the business of life.
So dehydration is often mistaken for hunger and it's the
fastest way to feel sluggish and foggy. And go ahead
(20:15):
and audit your pantry this month. Go through your cabinets.
If you see high fruitose, corn syrup, or hydrogenated oils,
or a list of chemicals that you can't pronounce, consider
it hazard waste. Toss it. Your body will thank you
for that. So we are arming you with the truth
because we want you to take control of your health destiny.
(20:37):
You aren't a victim of genetics as you may have
been told. You're actually the architect of your own health
and vitality. And folks, we've got a massive community of
like minded health seekers that I want you to take

taking you.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Welcome back, Doctor Adam Brockman here, and you're tuned into
the Doctor Bob Martin Show. As we're navigating today's health conversation,
I want to remind you about our incredible listener resources,
one being our email health question for him. If you've

(23:02):
to two. All right, folks, If you are ready for
a fresh start when it comes to your oral health,
then it's time you meet the Spry Dental Defense System.
It's a natural, science based way to protect your smile.
Spry is more than toothpaste and mouthwash. It's a full
system designed to support your teeth and gums day after day.
(23:25):
I've personally made it part of my routine and let
me tell you, my dentis can tell the difference. And
if you're asking what makes Spry stand out, it's one
powerful plant based ingredient and that's xylotol. And this isn't
your average sweetener. Xylotol is nature's way of saying goodbye
to cavities and plaque while keeping your breath fresh all
(23:47):
day long. You see harmful bacteria in your mouth love sugar,
but they can't digest xylotol. Instead. When you use Spry products,
those bad bacteria they're star out and your mouth stays imbalanced,
it stays in a healthy state, and your enamel stays strong.
And the Spry system uses xylotol in every product, from
(24:11):
their refreshing toothpaste and soothing mouthwashes to their delicious gum
and mints. And you can choose classic flavors like peppermint
or spearmint, or you can you can even choose warming cinnamon,
and each one leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean,
without harsh chemicals or artificial aftertastes. It's a smart way
(24:32):
to care for your smile naturally. And here's my daily routine,
and this is what it looks like. I brush with
Spry toothpaste, I rinse with Spry mouthwash, and I grab
a piece of Spry xylotol gum after meals. It's quick,
it's easy, and it works around the clock. The healthier
your mouth in, the healthier you are. And it starts
(24:54):
with that oral health connection, and it's directly a gateway
to your entire body, from your heart to your immune system.
And whether you're shopping at CBS, Target sprouts or natural grossers,
you'll find Spry ready to join in your routine. And
if you're curious to learn more about how xylotol supports
overall health and wellness, including that oral cavity, visit Clear
(25:15):
dot com. That's spelled x L e a r dot com.
They also make a xylotol based nasal spray, which you
can find out more about there at clear dot com.
So your smile, it's your introduction to the world, so
why not make it into your healthiest feature. Protect it
the natural way with the spray dental defense system. Your
(25:37):
teeth will feel cleaner, your breath fresher, and your confidence
higher than ever. So go ahead, make this the day
you give your smile a fresh start with Spry. All right,
it's time for this week's health alternative. I want you
(26:06):
to picture your DNA like a high security vault, and
modern life keeps trying to pick that lock. We got
exhaust fumes and industrial chemicals, pesticide residues, even that new
car smell. It all adds up to this daily molecular
mess that your body has to process. And so as
(26:27):
we're continuing this nutrition moth, let's dive in today to
the microscopic world of your cells, where longevity is either
getting built or it's quietly being bulldozed. And most people
look at nutrition like a simple math equation. You got
calories in versus calories out. But if you've been hanging
out with us for some time on the show, you
(26:49):
know that that's high school level stuff. We're moving on
to a different level of wellness today. We're not just
talking about fueling your body. We're talking about programming biological software.
So every single breath that you take in our modern world,
especially if you live in a city or near an
industrial zone, that's a gamble. We are swimming in the
(27:11):
sea of benzene pollutants and oxidative stress. But what if
I told you that there was a master switch inside
your DNA that could flip on a localized pharmacy producing
the most powerful antioxidants that are known to man. So
this week's health alternative isn't a fancy new pharmaceutical drug
(27:33):
with a list of side effects longer than a CBS receipt.
It's a compound called sephora fane and it's found in
a humble little vegetable that you probably pushed around your
plate as a kit. So let's be honest. The standard
American diet is it's a cellular disaster. We are overfed
and under nourished. But the real strategy is how we've
(27:55):
lost our ability to detoxify. Our bodies are equipped with
phase two detoxification system. It's a built in ganitor crew
that mops up these carcinogens and neutralizes free radicals. But
the problem is that the crew has been on strike
for decades because we're not giving them the right chemical signals.
(28:18):
This is where most people reach for a vitamin C
tablet or a generic multi vitamin. Now, don't get me wrong,
those are fine, we need those, but direct antioxidants are
the one and done. One molecule of vitamin C neutralizes
one free radical and then it's spent. It's like trying
to put out a forest fire with a single squirt gun.
(28:40):
So we need to sprinkler system. We need a fire hydrant.
We need to activate something known as the n r
F two pathway. So if you want to live to
be one hundred, or live healthy through the years that
you are and actually enjoy that ride, you need to
memorize these four characters and r F two. Think of
(29:01):
nr F two as a master regulator or a general
of your cellular defense. When n r F two is activated,
it travels through the nucleus of your cells and it
tells your DNA to start cranking out antioxidants like glutathione
or other catalysts for this. These aren't just settlements that
(29:21):
you swallow. These are heavy hitters your body actually creates internally.
So one molecule of n r F two activated enzyme,
it can neutralize thousands of free radicals every second, and
it works for hours, even days. It's the ultimate DNA
detox in. The most potent natural activator of this pathway
(29:42):
is it's sulfur of fame. And now this is this
is what matters here because it's very simple. It's in.
It's in brocoly So if you want that real biological gold,
you have to go even smaller. I'm talking about broccol sprouts.
Research has shown that three day old broccoli sprouts contain
(30:03):
anywhere from fifty to one hundred times the concentration of
the precursor of Sephora fane than a mature plant. So
you could literally eat a bucket of steam broccoli and
still not get the NRF two activation you get from
a small handful of fresh sprouts on your salad every day.
It's broccoli sprouts. It's pretty simple, it's easy to find,
(30:26):
it's readily available. So again, folks, if you have questions
how to integrate this into a specific health regime, or
if you have a chronic issue that you're dealing with,
or you need a nutritional intervention, you can always reach
out to us. So don't let DNA be a victim
of your environment. Arm yourself with the science of sulfora
fane and broccoli sprouts. That's been your health alternative of
(30:49):
the week, the DNA detox broccoli sprouts. All right, don't
go anywhere. When we come back from a quick break,
we'll keep the momentum going with more smart, practical ways
to protect your by in a not so healthy well.
This is the doctor Bob Martinshell, Doctor Bob Martin with
(31:09):
an important message from doctor Earle Mendel, PhD, pharmacist and author.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Welcome back to the Doctor Bob Martin Show right here
on Health Talk America. Doctor Adam Brockman with you today
and again. We've been talking about nutrition moth and I
want you to picture something inflammation. It's not like a
loud siren. It's more like a slow, smoky kitchen fire
that's behind a You don't always see it, you don't
(34:03):
always feel it, until those alarms go off as joint
pain or stubborn belly fat, high blood pressure, brain fog,
or labs that suddenly look troubling. And here's the part
I want you to know. Chronic inflammatory diseases are linked
to nearly sixty percent of deaths worldwide. That's why I
don't really care about your chronological age. I care about
(34:26):
your biological age. That's the real world wear and tear
that's happening inside your tissues right now. And one of
the most common markers we look at is see reactive protein.
And if the CRP is elevated, your body is basically
in a tinder box. It's it's prime to flare. But
you don't always have to wait for a lab test
(34:47):
to start putting out that fire. So today we're going
to talk about something that's simple, doable, and surprisingly powerful,
and that's a few basic anti inflammatory drinks. Now, let's
this isn't permission to eat ultra process junk all day
and cancel it out with a magic tea at night.
This is about stacking those odds in your favor, and
(35:08):
that's one smart choice at a time. So let's go
ahead and dive in. Let's start with the gold standard
and that's green tea. And if you aren't sipping this
on a regular basis, you're leaving a major longevity tool
on the table. You see, green tea is loaded with
a powerhouse polyphenol that helps to neutralize oxidative stress, which
(35:29):
that oxidative stress, as we discuss, is like brust on
your cells. And this is why green tea shows up
in so many those centurian conversations, the ones that live longer.
It doesn't just support your inflammation balance, it supports your
gut microbiome. And roughly seventy percent of your immune system
(35:51):
is tied to the gut associated lymph tissue. So the
translation is when your gut is inflamed, your whole system
pays the price. And those here's a quick reality check.
Those coffee shop green tea lattes are often more milk
and sugar dessert than actually a health drink. So if
your goal is to cool that inflammation, sugar is continuing
(36:14):
to be that gasoline. So keep it simple, plain green
tea macha with unsweetened milk or even a squeeze of lemon.
So for the sports medicine crowd and honestly, anybody with
cranky joints. This next drink is big. It's it's tart
cherry juice. It's packed with anthoscians that those are the
(36:34):
pigments that give cherries that deep red color, and these
compounds are well known for helping reduce exercise, induce muscle soreness,
and also systemic inflammation. So in practice, I've seen people
with gout tendencies and nagging joint pain do really well
adding tart cherry consistently, and it's not crazy to see
(36:54):
something like a thirty to fifty percent reduction in flare
ups for some folks when the rest their lifestyle is
moving in that right direction too. So next up, let's
talk about kombuka. And I get it that fermented smell
can be a little intense, but if you're dealing with
chronic inflammation, we have to talk about this. A lot
(37:15):
of systemic inflammation starts with gut dysfunction and when people
commonly call leaky gut, where the barrier gets irritated and
you end up with more immune activation than you should.
Systemic inflammation, right, So, kombuka can deliver live cultures plus
plant compounds like those polyphenols, which help to support a
(37:35):
healthier gut environment. So let's talk about ginger. Ginger contains compounds,
and these aren't just tummy remedy type of compounds. These
are inhibit these pro inflammation cid of kins, which are
basically like chemical text messages that tell your immune system
to stay on high alert. So I'm a big fan
(37:56):
of ginger tea because it's simple and it's cheap, and
if you're waking up stiff, or you're feeling puffy, or
your digestion of sluggish, this is one of the easiest
swaps that you can make. Fresh ginger slices steeped in
hot water and maybe a little lemon and that's it.
It's like turning down the volume on inflammation without needing
a medicine cabinet full of stuff. So this next one
(38:19):
is when I get asked about quite a bit. It's
tumeric and it's the active compound in curcumin, and research
suggests that it can influence up to fifty different inflammatory
pathways in a body, and that's a wide net. But
we've got to be honest about the fine print kurcumin.
We need to increase its bioavailability. So if you're just
(38:39):
sprinkling turmeric into hot water. You're not doing the trick here.
So to actually get kurcumin into your system, you also
want two things, and that's black pepper in a healthy fat.
So that's why I've suggested before a golden milk, and
it works so well. Use coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk,
add turmeric, a pinch of black pepper, maybe cinnamon, and
(39:01):
now you've got a kitchen spice into something that behaves
more like a targeted anti inflammatory tool. So the difference
between that nice idea in this actually moves the needle
is again that black pepper in the healthy fat. And
last on the list today is pomegrant juice, and this
is one of those small amount, big benefit drinks, and
(39:24):
it contains these unique compounds that are only found in
pomegrant that are like antioxidants, and it's been studied for
cardiovascular support and in some research pomegrant intake has even
been associated with improvements and markers that are tied to
that carotid artery health. And so the translation here is
better blood flow and it decreases that inflammatory grime build
(39:47):
up when you don't want it. So here's the truth.
Inflammation doesn't always have to respond to one heroic choice.
It can respond to a pattern. And if you increase
that pro inflammatory lifestyle, well you will do that. So
decrease your ultra processed foods, your sugar intake, and maybe
and add some of these drinks in the mix. All right, folks,
(40:08):
we're coming up on a brake. Stay right there. We're
going to hit our final stretch with the help mystery.
You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
You can Doctor dot Old Banging. Welcome back to Health
Talk America presents The Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm your host,
Doctor Adam Brockman. Today we're gonna wrap up with our
health mystery. We're diving into a health mystery that affects millions.
(41:59):
It is often treated with the medical equivalent of putting
a piece of tape over a flashing check engine light.
I'm talking about a chronic soul crushing heartburn that refuses
to quit. So let's go ahead and set the scene.
I had a patient come in recently. Jim is fifty two.
He's active, he watches his macros in, he's a regular
at the gym. But for two years Jim felt like
(42:23):
he was swallowing a little blowtorch every time he ate
a steak or a piece of chicken. He did what
many people do. He went and he got a prescription
for a proton pump inhibitor a PPI. So he took
the little purple pill and the fire dimmed, but it
never went out. Then came the side effects, the bloating,
the fatigue, the weird heaviness after meals. So he tried
(42:45):
to switch his diet with no spicy food and no
coffee and let's just say no fun. Right. Still, the
burning persisted. His doctors they told him they had something
known as refractory gird and he might need a higher
dose of acid blocks for the rest of his life.
But here's the problem. Jim wasn't suffering from too much
stomach acid. He was suffering from a little cork shaped
(43:09):
invader that was actually lowering his acid at dangerous levels.
So as a medical detective, you have to ask why
is the body behaving this way. If PPIs weren't working,
it's because they were treating the symptom and not the source.
So I ordered a specific breath test in a comprehensive
stool analysis. So the result was this huge overgrowth of
(43:34):
h Pylori and now H. Plori. It's a fascinating, devious bacteria.
It doesn't just hain out in your gut. It burrows
into the mucous lining of your stomach. So to survive
this acidic environment, it secretes an enzyme and this neutralizes
the acid around it, So it essentially creates its own
(43:56):
safe zone by making your stomach less acidic. So you
might be thinking, well, wait, doctor Adam, what if it
makes this the stomach less acidic, why does Jim feel
like this has its burn? Well, this is a great
paradox of the GI system. When your stomach acid is
too low, your food doesn't digest. It starts to just
(44:18):
sit there and ferments, and it creates gas and it
pushes that tiny bit of remaining acid back up through
the esophagus. So the burning isn't from high acid, it's
from the wrong acid in the wrong place. So, instead
of more acid blockers, which would have played right in
the hands of the bacteria, we went the other way.
We used a natural protocol designed to eradicate that H.
(44:41):
Pylori without nuking the rest of his microbiome in his gut.
So we brought in some heavy hitters mastic gum, and
that's a resin from the Mediterranean that has been shown
to physically disrupt the H. Pylori cell wall. All right,
there you have it. So this wraps up this hour
of the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor ad and
Brahman and I want to thank you for spending this
(45:02):
time with me and please join us next time.
