me begin with a simple truth, and that's your body
(01:43):
is wired for health. It wants to heal, it wants
to thrive. But the challenge most of us are living
in environments, routines, and mindsets that are constantly nudging us
off balance. Too little movement, too much stress, too many
ultra process foods as meals. But there's good news. Small, consistent,
(02:05):
natural interventions can steer the ship back on course, efficiently, affordably,
and faster than you think. Now here's an empowering reframe.
Your plate is not just a fuel tank, it's a pharmacy.
Nutrient dense foods turn our genes and they protect our heart,
(02:26):

good fats, and fiber. They act like a coordinated wellness team.
Add in joyful movement like brisk walks, light strength training
or mobility work, and you amplify every benefit. The body
(02:46):

two to two. And if you're catching this on replay,

(04:56):
Our digital front door is always open at doctorbob dot com.
Let's make this the day your health story takes a strong,
confident turn towards vitality. Let's get started with something you
probably don't think about. I want to ask you, do
you walk barefoot or you wear tight shoes that could
put you at risk of amputation. I don't say that
(05:19):
to scare you. I say it because every three minutes
and thirty seconds in America someone loses a limb to diabetes,
and by sunset, that's hundreds of lives that are rerouted,
Families adapting to wheelchairs and prosthetics, living rooms, rearranged, jobs
put on hold. As a doctor, I stood at the
(05:39):
edge of that cliff with too many patients. The story
I want to tell you is not about fear. It's
about the quiet decisions that you can do to pull
you back from that edge, and the decisions that you
can start making today. So I want to tell you
about Mary who Mary shuffled into my exam room, her
shoes pinched at the toes. She's as a smile on
(06:02):
her face, but she said, doctor, it's the oddest thing,
she said, Wiggling her feet is if they were trying
to wake up on Q. It feels like my socks
are bunching up, but they aren't. So I asked her
to look away and tell me which toe I touched
with my fingertip. There was silence, then she guessed, and
(06:24):
then a little laugh, maybe maybe light laugh, like she
was embarrassed. But that laugh, it's the sound of danger. Ignored,
that loss of sensation. It's easy to dismiss. If there's
no pain, there's no problem, right. But in diabetes, numbness
is not benign. It's diabetic neuropathy. It's a slow theft
(06:48):
of feeling that starts at the toes and then it climbs,
and up to half of the people diabetes will experience it.
And when you can't feel a pebble, a blister, a splinter,
you don't just adjust your step or change your shoe.
That friction continues. The skin breaks down, a small sore opens,
(07:09):
Bacteria arrives like unwanted guests, and they don't leave when
the party's over. So I walked Mary through a simple
ritual every morning and every night. I said, sit on
the bed, place a mirror on the floor, and scan
your feet like you're studying a map. You see any
redness cracks, blisters are swelling, any spot that looks new
(07:32):
or angry. And I want you to wear white socks.
Yes white, because a pin prick of blood can't hide
in those patterns. Now, run a finger along your toes
while you look away. If you can't feel the touch,
I want you to let us know. She nodded, then
she hesitated. Is this really that serious? I said it is.
(07:56):
It's it's serious in the way a quiet leak is serious.
Walls don't collapse in one day, but given time and neglect,
they do. Folks, my dad was a type one diabetic,
a juvenile diabetic, and more than thirty eight million Americans
have diabetes. About one hundred and sixty thousand amputations occur
(08:16):
a year, and many of those are preventable. Long term
high blood sugar it stiffens in narrows blood vessels until
circulation is less like a river and more like a trickle.
Nerves are starved of oxygen and they missfire and they fade,
and this cuts the healing very slowly, and then infections
(08:37):
can flourish. So if you add a pair of shoes
that rub in the same place every day, day in,
day out, and you have a you then have a
recipe as predictable as it is tragic, and the villain
here it's friction or pressure, heat, the small everyday irritations
we wave off because we've got dinner to make, a
(09:00):
shift to finish, or a grandchild to pick up after school.
So another example, a retired farmer named Bill braced himself
in my office doorway. He was rugged and sheepest all
at the same and he set down his rubber rain boots.
They were cracked at the heel and they were stiff
as buckets. These, he says, these things got me through
(09:22):
twenty harvests. His socks told a different story. There are
streaks of dried, rust colored blood that had seeped and
dried unnoticed. He couldn't feel the blisters blooming on the
sides of his feet. That these rubber boots they don't forgive.
They rub and they hold moisture, and then you add
into ropathy and you've got a perfect storm. So I
(09:45):
showed him those raw patches in the dry blood. I
asked him, did you feel this? He shook his head
with surprise, and maybe his pride was undone. So we
talked about shoes, not the kind you see in glossy magazines,
but the kind that save toes, wide fitting footwear with
a deep toe box to keep nails from ram riding
(10:08):
into the front, smooth interior seems that don't saw against
the skin, insoles that disperse pressure, especially under metatarsal heads
where those ulcers love to start. And for those that
are wearing protective boots, some of those need that wider
toe box again, and they have petted collars to reduce
(10:28):
that rubbing. And for dress shoes to choose lower heels,
heels that high heels, they force pressure onto the forefront
and they can worsen bunions, hammer toes and cause that
Achilles tightness all which causes friction. All right, folks, Again,
we're talking about neuropathy in the diabetic and what we
(10:49):
need to do to change that. But we're coming up
on a break. When we come back, we're going to
get in this a little bit more. You listen to
the doctor Bob Martin show.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Welcome back. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Barton Show,
and I'm doctor Adam Brockman, Doctor Bobb and I We're
all about smarter living and helping you thrive naturally and
teaching you to become your own best doctor. Most of
the time. And remember, if you've got questions about your health,
nutrition or anything in between. Our toll free hotline is
always opened at eight hundred six zero six eight eight
two to two. That's where you'll find Doctor Bob and
(12:30):
I to licensed physicians, and we're sending by to help
you unlock your best self. That's eight hundred six zero
six eight eight two to two. All right, before the break,
we were talking about diabetic neuropathy in shoes and if
you're at risk of amputation, and we left off talking
about shoes in folks. I've seen the toll of shoes
(12:51):
in both farmer fields and boardrooms alike, where friction is
an equal opportunity. Culprit shoes. They should fit your feet
and went in doubt, size up and add a supportive insole.
A shoe that's too tight is never going to be
fixed by good intentions. So I want to tell you
(13:11):
about a golfer. He was eighty two years old with
a swing that was so smooth that could butter toast.
He arrived in my office because his daughter spotted sores
on the outer edges of his feet while helping him
tie his shoes. He had no idea they were there.
His golf shoes. They were narrow, they were sleek. They
were basically a trophy for his feet. So this beauty,
(13:33):
it betrayed him. So we transitioned him to a wider
pair with forgiving uppers and had him wear white diabetic
socks during golf, and he tucked a compact mirror in
his bag, checking his feet just to see if there
was any blood spots or wear spots as he played
(13:53):
his eighteen holes. And so after this, these ulcers started
to heal. He was checking on him, he kept walking
the course. That's what prevented. Prevention looks like. It's not
quitting the things you love. It's how you can reimagine
doing them and keeping things in check. So not all dangers, though,
come dressed as shoes. Sometimes it's the soft green invitation
(14:17):
of that backyard after rain. The question comes up every spring,
can I walk barefoot outside? I you know? I tell them,
you know, you got the sun on the skin, the
grass between the toes, the earth. It's like doing it's
quiet therapy. But when that sensation is dulled barefoot being barefoot,
(14:38):
it's a roll of the dice, and it's a loaded dice.
A thorn doesn't announce itself. A shard of gravel doesn't apologize.
You might step on a nail and then when you're
keeping your tomatoes weeded, or you might have a small
fissure at a callous that opens up like a whisper
and invites infection. So if you're thinking about, you know,
(15:01):
saying come on, I feel that. Remember neuropathy, it changes
the rules. What was obvious at thirty isn't as obvious
at seventy with ten years of diabetes behind you. So
I don't tell people to abandon what matters to them.
I reframe the goal. For instance, when Missus Hargrove asked
(15:23):
if she could walk barefoot in her garden, I asked
what she loved most about it. She said, the quiet,
the smell of basil when I brush by. So we
built a plan to keep the soul of that ritual
while protecting her feet. Support you know, wear supportive garden
shoes with rigid soles dedicated to basically keeping your feet
(15:46):
clean and dry, cushion and also wear moisture wicking socks
and use a post garden inspection under a good lamp
by the kitchen table. Tools organized at waste height to
avoids stepping or getting anything lost in the grass. A
simple foot wash. Afterwards, pat dry, especially between the toes,
(16:09):
fall by a light moisturizer on the tops and bottoms,
and she smiled and said, it's not the barefoot I want.
She didn't realized it's the piece. So protect the feet
and keep the peace. So let's talk more about the
biology of this high glucose. It batters the nerves and
(16:30):
the blood vessels. The nerves miscommunicate, there's tingling, burning and silence.
The vessels start to narrow and harden, and it's starving
tissues of oxygen and nutrients. Skin becomes a fragile parchment
and it has pressure points and it splits like old papers.
The opportunity for bacteria, it's opportunistic and it colonizes the
(16:54):
defect and a healthy tissue immune cells they swarm to repair,
but and dibettics. That cavalry arrives late and it's understaffed. Meanwhile,
walking continues adding pressure and micro trauma without intervention. What
started as a blister becomes an ulcer. Now you start
to add time, a bit of neglect, and perhaps shoes
(17:18):
and socks habit that hides these warning signs, and you've
got an infection that creeps from the skin to deeper tissues.
Some infections they respond to antibiotics and pressure or offloading,
and some don't. That's the street that leads to amputation.
We don't arrive there in a day. We arrive there
(17:38):
with these daily dismissals. So what do we do differently,
or what can you do differently? Starting today, feel for
warmth with the back of your hand. One warm area
can be a sign of inflammation before your eyes can
see it. Note the swelling. Investigate any new callous. That
(17:58):
yellowed armor seems protective, but it often conceals pressure in
pre ulcer changes. So follow these calluses gently with an
emmory board, never cutting them. And keep the nails trimmed
straight across with rounded corners that if they're straight across,
they don't have those rounded corners that invite ingrowns and
ingrons obviously invite infections. So if your vision or your
(18:22):
reach is limited, schedule regular professional care and also pride
that's a poor podiatrist. Let the skilled hands help when needed,
and make footwear your ally in the store. Remove the
insole stand on it. Does your foot spill over the edges?
(18:42):
If so, the shoe is too narrow feel inside for
the seams your fingers will find which your nerves may not.
Lace the shoes snugly over the end step to promote
prevent forward slide. A foot that bins into the front
of the shoe earns bruised nails in forefront four foot blisters.
(19:02):
Rotate the pairs to allow the drying of them in
damp shoes. Nurture bacteria and soften the skin. For special
circumstances like farm work or construction, or long hours on concrete,
invest in purpose built foot where that will have shock
absorption into width. The aim is simple. It's eliminate the
hot spots before they exist and maybe replace barefoot with
(19:26):
bear minimum protected in the house were supportive slippers with
firm soles. In the shower, consider non slipped sandals to
avoid the scalds or cuts on the patio or in
the garden. Choose toe shoes. If you swim at a
public pool, water shoes are your friend. And if you
love the sensation of the ground, try it with your hands. Gardening, kneading,
(19:50):
grounding practices that don't put your feet at risk. A
few harmless habits that I want you to retire gracefully
for good. Using heating pads on numb feet, you can
burn those, burn your feet without feeling it. And quit
the bathroom surgery on those corns and calluses blades they
(20:11):
don't negotiate. Quit wearing tight socks that leave grooves. That
compression is already challenged your circulation, and I'll break those shoes.
In mentality, shoes should fit today, not after your skin
pays the price for it. And for those who love heels,
limit the height in the hours, give your four foot
(20:36):
of rest on those non days that you don't have
to wear them. And for those in rubber boots, line
them with friction reducing moisture wicking socks and swap to
wider pad collars when you can. And if you notice
new tingling, sudden numbness, or an ulcer that doesn't improve
within forty eight to seventy two hours, or any sign
of spreading that well redness or the warm, don't wait.
(20:59):
Call you your clinician. Early action saves tissues, it saves
your toes, it saves your future. So you don't have
to change everything, You just have to change direction. The
difference between a harmless habit and hidden risk often comes
down to a shoe size, a sock color, a one
minute ritual at sunrise or sunset. Every small safeguard you
(21:20):
add is a hand in your shoulder leaning you away
from that cliff. And here's the grace in all this.
The choices that protect your feet, they also protect your freedom,
your right to walk your dog at desk, to wander
your garden on a summer morning, or to play eighteen
rounds of golf with your friends who talk more than
they want to talk about golf itself. Keep your feet
(21:42):
safe and keep your life in motion. All right, folks,
we're coming up on a break, and after the break,
we're going to get into some of our special features
and try to get to some of your calls. You're

if you've got pressing health questions, we're just a phone
call away at eight hundred six zero six eight eight
two to two. That's eight hundred six or six eight
eighty two to two. All right, let's get to our
health alternative of the week. Our health alternative of the
(23:26):
week is what happens to your heart health when you
eat nuts regularly. Here's a simple alternative for you. It's
a delicious daily habit, and that's eating a small handful
of nuts, and it aligns with a lower risk of
dying from heart disease. New research following more than eighty
thousand adults for roughly eleven years found that those who
(23:46):
ate the most nuts had notably better outcomes, a lower
risk of cardiovascular death overall and a lower risk from
heart disease. That's a powerful return on a tiny, tasty investment.
So why might nuts be so heart friendly? It starts
with the fats. Nuts are rich in mono unsaturated and
poly unsaturated fats, the kind that help lower LDL levels,
(24:09):
those lousy cholesterol while supporting HDL levels the helpful cholesterol.
But the benefits don't stop there. Nuts deliver plant sterols
that nudge cholesterol metabolism in a healthier direction, and magnesium
that supports vascular tone and insulin sensitivity in fiber that
feeds your gut microbiome. It also is an underappreciated ally
(24:32):
in cardiovascular health. You add anyoxidants in amino acids like
arginine which is a precursor to nitrica oxide, and you
have a whole food formula that calms inflammation, keeps arteries
more relaxed, and supports better blood pressure in triglyceride profiles
over time. This study, it also modeled that food swaps,
(24:53):
and this is where the strategy gets practical. Replacing just
one serving of less healthy items with nuts about one
ounce or so a handful. Small handful was associated with
over twenty percent lower risk of cardiovascular mortality and almost
thirty percent lower risk of heart disease. So you substitute
tree nuts for unprocessed red meat and it shows the
(25:15):
biggest projected payoff with sizable reductions in both cardiovascular and
heart disease risks. So swapping nuts in for processed meats,
snack foods, sweets, cheese, or even fried potatoes also move
the needle in the right direction. So translation, your snack
bowl is a steering wheel, so use it. So how
(25:36):
do you put this to work today? And for about
one ounce of nuts most days of the week, five
to seven days is an excellent target, and that's a
small handful of almonds, walnuts, pistachios, maybe even cashews, and
rotate the varieties to diversify the nutrients. Almonds are there
for vitamin e, walnuts for omega threes, and pistachios for
(25:57):
looting the cons for polyphenols, hazel nuts for fole eate,
and yes, even peanuts which are technically legumes for their
affordability in their protein. I suggest choosing raw or dry
roasted and unsalted whenever possible, and if you love nut butters,
scan the label the best have two ingredients and that's
(26:18):
nuts and salts, so no added sugars or oils. And
if you want to make smart swaps that you'll actually enjoy,
replace chips with a handful of mixed nuts and maybe
a piece of fruit. You top your morning oatmeal or
yogurt with walnuts or berries instead of sugarygranola. And if
you add in pistachios or pecans to salads for that
(26:38):
crunchy and heart healthy fats, maybe try stirring in cashews
into your vegetable stir fry for that texture. Or try
a walnut mushroom crumble and tacos to reduce that red
meat without sacrificing that satisfaction. Or if you're on a budget,
buy in bulk, store half in the freezer, and portion
out small containers so that you're set for the week
(27:02):
and freshness matters. Nuts can go rancid when the oils oxidize,
so keep them in airtight containers, refrigeratum, or again freeze
them for longer shelf life. So this big picture on
the study is encouraging. When we prioritize nutrient dense, minimally
processed foods, these small daily choices compound into meaningful health benefits.
(27:23):
Nuts are a prime example. They're portable, they're satisfying, they're versatile,
and they're consistently associated with better heart outcomes. So start
with one predictable slot in your day. Maybe that's mid
morning with lunch, or as a late afternoon bridge to dinner,
and make a handful of nuts your new daily default
for snacking. Your heart doesn't need perfection, it needs the consistency,
(27:47):
one ounce at a time. You are steering your health
towards a stronger, steadier heartbeat. Nuts your health alternative of
the week. All right, let's get to some of your questions.
First up, we have Dean in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Good day, We love your radio show. Thank you for
all that you do. Name is Dean, Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
Question.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
Ever since I started eating healthier, I noticed that I'm
farting more more flatulence? Is that something I should be
concerned with? Thank you again and have a blessed day.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
All right, Hi, Dean in Hot Springs, thank you for
your kind words and listening to the show and of
course taking charge of your health. So the short answer
on your question about flatulence is yes, this is common
when you add more vegetables, beans, and whole grains. Your
gut microbiome shifts. These newly fed microbes, they ferment fiber,
(28:55):
making beneficial what's known as short chain fatty acids, and
it has with a bit more gas so folks. Normally,
within a few weeks the gut adapts and things go
back to normal. As far as a concern level with this,
it's pretty low unless there's persistent pain, severe bloating, fever
(29:15):
and unintended weight loss, or you're waking up a night
with pain. Otherwise, this is usually a sign that your
internal garden is growing. So I suggest you ease into fiber,
add one high fiber serving every two to three days.
You can start with gentler options, maybe cook carrots, zucchini,
squash before adding in the big portions of beans, broccoli, cauliflower,
(29:39):
or those things that may cause a little bit more flatulence.
And I also suggest soaking and rinsing your dried beans,
and if you're using canned ones, maybe rinse those thoroughly.
Pressure cooking helps. You can also try to season with curcumin, finyl,
or ginger, and that helps to reduce some of that gassiness.
As far as I I also suggests you chew thoroughly,
(30:02):
maybe move a little bit a ten minute walk after
meals seems to help move that gas along. And also
I suggest using doctor o'here's probiotic that with this. Maybe
start with one capsule daily for about two to four
weeks and then reassess. Maybe you need to go to
more than that. If you're still upset, your stomach still upset,
maybe look at some herbal soothers like peppermint or ginger
(30:25):
tea after the meals and that can calm the gut
and reduce floating sensations. So as far as this goes, Dean,
your gut bugs they're learning a healthier tune. So if
you give them time, feed them wisely, and use those
tools that music so to speaks in your comfort usually
improves within a few weeks. So keep going. You're right
on the right track. All right, thank you, Dean. All Right, folks,
(30:48):
we're coming up on a break. You're listening to the
Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
If you're a big sports fan like me, sometimes the
best part about watching a football game are the pre
and post game shows. Well it's the same for probiotics.
The most important part of probiotics are the prebiotics and
post biotics that come along. Not all probiotics have this
superior combination. That's why I only buy Doctor o'heres probiotics.
You see, prebiotics feed the probiotic colonies and your intestines,
(31:22):
and post biotics are the organic nutrients produced by doctor
o'heres three year fermentation process that become the foundation for
long term colonization of the good bacteria in your body.
This is so important. No other probiotic formula has this.
As I get older, I want to protect my health
the best I can and use only the best supplements
that are available. So score a touchdown for your health.

let's get back in today's conversation with our health outrage
of the week, each for the.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Health outrage, because it's nothing blood.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
All right, folks, This week health outrage of the week
is when a government shutdowns threatens supper in public health
and I wish today's segment was lighter, but health doesn't
wait on politics.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
As the shutdown stretches past the one month mark, we're
staring at a plain, painful truth, and that's interruptions to
the supplemental nutrition assistance program. That's the snap, and it
could push millions to the edge of hunger and sickness.
So this isn't a left or right issue. We're talking
about lunch in supper, and when supper is at risk,
(35:54):
so are blood, sugars, blood pressure, immunity, sleep, insanity. Food.
It's not a luxury item. It's a foundational care. And
if you ever tried to work, parent, heal, or even
think on an empty stomach, you already know what the
steaks are. So here's why this is a true health outrage.
(36:14):
The snap program. It's not just a budget line. It's
a lifeline that stabilizes nutrition for kids, seniors, pregnant women, veterans,
and hardworking families alike. So if you pull that prop away,
the body pays immediately. Hospitals get busier, pharmacies see more
crisises in school. Nurses manage more headaches, stomach aches, and
(36:35):
even behavioral blow ups. Hunger. It's never been about just
the calories. It's also about that immunity, the hormones, the mood,
and the ability to make tomorrow's decisions with a clear
head in the steady hand. Now this fallout, it's fast
and predictable. You know, people with diabetes, they see the crisis.
Miss a meal in their meal time. Insulin might be
(36:56):
missed as well. They can drive up their hypoglycemia they
need to. They start to patients start to ration medication
and their blood sugar can spike. And then you take
an insid a aspirin or a thailanol or a ibuprofen
on an empty stomach, and you raise the risk of
ulcers and bleeding. And then for diabetics taking met form
(37:17):
and without food and you invite nausea as well. But folks.
Mental health suffers to the anxiety, the air ability, in
the poor sleep, the hit Families that are already stretched
thin and children are paying the highest price. They get
less nutrients and that translates to more sick days, attention problems,
in learning struggles. So again, kids are in that critical
(37:40):
growth phase. And also pregnant women and postpardon women are
at risk. Those are ones that need iron, folate and protein,
and seniors on fixed incomes that are juggling multiple medications,
and of course you know anyone with diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease,
or GI disorders. The list goes on and on. In
rule communities suffer the most as well, with longer drives
(38:03):
and fewer affordable options. And from a health perspective, this
is a foundational issue. You can't detox, rebuild, or optimize
a body that isn't being fed. So herbs, supplements and
therapies they may still be helpful, but they can't replace calories, protein, fiber,
and minerals. So let's try to put this outrage to work.
(38:25):
If you start with a family triage plan, verify your
benefit status. If you rely on snap, maybe monitor your
food situation and keep your receipts, so every dollar has
a job and do a pantry audit. Hold onto oats,
brown rice, beans and lentils, maybe even look for canned tomatoes,
frozen vegetables and fruit, peanut butter, eggs, and then when
(38:48):
it's affordable, even can tuna or sardines and basic spices.
So build that emergency cart that stretches, and then map
out a seven day budget menu that you can repeat.
Think about oatmeal with peanut butter and cinnamon in the morning, lentils,
tomato soup over rice or tuna, and wipe bean salad
with onion at launched. Simple dinners that can make a
(39:11):
big difference, maybe even for dinner, chili over rice, pasta
with garlic, tomato sauce, sardines with greens and vinegar over
warm rice. These are simple, affordable options that you can
use and hydrate with water first. Water should always be
be the first first drink that you reach for and
use onions, garlics and spices liberally. They make simple food
(39:34):
satisfying and they curb that junk cravings without adding in
that extra cost and rely on your community. Communities is
are superpower if you're one that is secure in your finances,
be someone else's safety net. Donate dollars to food banks
that can stretch them farther. Volunteer to sword and deliver,
and check on your neighbors. And schools often have grab
(39:56):
and go plans which amplify you. Can also amplify the
those through churches in local social pages, and local grocers
and restaurants can do a pay it forward meal boards
and offer some discounts. So I'll leave you with this
on outrage, and I want you to have a mission.
And you know, beans, they may not be glamorous, but
(40:17):
they're protein in a penny suit and right now they're heroes.
So this has been your health outrage of the week.
And when plates are full, hospitals are quieter, classrooms are calmer,
and families are stronger. So let's make sure no child,
senior or veteran pays for this government stale bate with
our health. Let's go ahead and start today, one meal
(40:40):
at a time, all right, folks, So we're coming up
on a break, and if you've got questions about your health,

(43:11):
doctor Adam Brockman. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show,
and folks, we've already reached the final stretch of our
final hour of the show this week, which means it's
time for our health mystery, folks, our health mystery of
the week. We're talking about gray hairs. Secret is that
(43:32):
a cancer warning? What if those silver strands are not
Vanity's enemy but your body's whisper to pay attention, Let's
follow the clues from scalp to sell encoding. White hair
turns great and what that color shift might be signaling
about your health. Japanese investigators traced a strange connection, and
(43:52):
that is the cells that color your hair and the
cells that can become melling on the rise from the
same source, and that's melanocyte cells. And when these cells
they suffer DNA damage from sun stress, toxins or time,
they face a fateful decision. You got. Option one is
repair the harm. Option two is to self destruct. An
(44:14):
option three it's a darker path, and that's a drift
towards malignancy. But there is a fourth and that's a
protective route. And in this remarkable move, the cell retires
its pigment making powers and it trades vanity for viligence
to avoid turning cancerous. And this is a visible outcome,
and it's simple. The strand loses color and it turns gray.
(44:37):
The invisible outcome is profound, and by sacrificing this pigment
the system may reduce the risk of rogue transformation gray
then it might be a safety light, not a sentence.
So is gray hair a cancer warning? Not exactly. It's
a message about the cellular stress, the oxidative load, the
(44:58):
UV exposure, nutrient gaps, or sleep deprivision. It raises the
steaks if neglected. So the timing and pattern matter in
your overall terrain matter even more so if we treat
gray as data and not doom, we just need to
act upon it. First. Flood the system with colorful antioxidants berries, citrus,
(45:18):
leafy greens, herbs and green tea, and support the hair
pigment with B twelve full eight copper or zinc and
eat real food when possible. And calm the stress circuitry
with brief daily practices, maybe even like some gratitude journey journaling.
And guard your sleep like it's a prescription. Seven to
(45:41):
nine hours per night in a cool dark room and
screens off about an hour before bed. Recovery is the
body's favorite repair shop. Folks be proactive with the screenings
as well. Check monthly for moles and see dermatologists for
anything new or changing. And the final clue on this
gray hair, it's not a diagnosis, it's a dispatch that
(46:03):
your body's biology is your front line. Heat it with nourishment,
recovery in those sunlight habits. Keep your curiosity high, you're
fear low, and remember silver can be a sign that
your cells are choosing wisdom. And your final thought on
this aging is choreography, not collapse. If your hair is
going silver, let your habits go golden. All right, folks,
(46:28):
So thank you and on behalf of Doctor Bob, thank
you for being part of today's show. Keep those questions coming,

me begin with a simple truth, and that's your body
(01:43):
is wired for health. It wants to heal, it wants
to thrive. But the challenge most of us are living
in environments, routines, and mindsets that are constantly nudging us
off balance. Too little movement, too much stress, too many
ultra process foods as meals. But there's good news. Small, consistent,
(02:05):
natural interventions can steer the ship back on course, efficiently, affordably,
and faster than you think. Now here's an empowering reframe.
Your plate is not just a fuel tank, it's a pharmacy.
Nutrient dense foods turn our genes and they protect our heart,
(02:26):
support your liver, and stabilize your mood. Colorful vegetables, clean proteins,
good fats, and fiber. They act like a coordinated wellness team.
Add in joyful movement like brisk walks, light strength training
or mobility work, and you amplify every benefit. The body
(02:46):
loves rhythm. Eat on schedule, move on schedule, rest on schedule.

and it starts being your norm. Folks, Again, we're going

(03:50):
one hundred percent, start with ten percent. Swap one sugary
drink for water today, Add one vegetable to lunch tomorrow,
walk five minutes out after dinner. Strain together a week
of these micro wins and you'll notice tangible shifts like
a steadier mood, clearer skin, better sleep, a lighter step.

two to two. And if you're catching this on replay,
don't worry. You can still learn, plan and act today.
(04:56):
Our digital front door is always open at doctorbob dot com.
Let's make this the day your health story takes a strong,
confident turn towards vitality. Let's get started with something you
probably don't think about. I want to ask you, do
you walk barefoot or you wear tight shoes that could
put you at risk of amputation. I don't say that
(05:19):
to scare you. I say it because every three minutes
and thirty seconds in America someone loses a limb to diabetes,
and by sunset, that's hundreds of lives that are rerouted,
Families adapting to wheelchairs and prosthetics, living rooms, rearranged, jobs
put on hold. As a doctor, I stood at the
(05:39):
edge of that cliff with too many patients. The story
I want to tell you is not about fear. It's
about the quiet decisions that you can do to pull
you back from that edge, and the decisions that you
can start making today. So I want to tell you
about Mary who Mary shuffled into my exam room, her
shoes pinched at the toes. She's as a smile on
(06:02):
her face, but she said, doctor, it's the oddest thing,
she said, Wiggling her feet is if they were trying
to wake up on Q. It feels like my socks
are bunching up, but they aren't. So I asked her
to look away and tell me which toe I touched
with my fingertip. There was silence, then she guessed, and
(06:24):
then a little laugh, maybe maybe light laugh, like she
was embarrassed. But that laugh, it's the sound of danger. Ignored,
that loss of sensation. It's easy to dismiss. If there's
no pain, there's no problem, right. But in diabetes, numbness
is not benign. It's diabetic neuropathy. It's a slow theft
(06:48):
of feeling that starts at the toes and then it climbs,
and up to half of the people diabetes will experience it.
And when you can't feel a pebble, a blister, a splinter,
you don't just adjust your step or change your shoe.
That friction continues. The skin breaks down, a small sore opens,
(07:09):
Bacteria arrives like unwanted guests, and they don't leave when
the party's over. So I walked Mary through a simple
ritual every morning and every night. I said, sit on
the bed, place a mirror on the floor, and scan
your feet like you're studying a map. You see any
redness cracks, blisters are swelling, any spot that looks new
(07:32):
or angry. And I want you to wear white socks.
Yes white, because a pin prick of blood can't hide
in those patterns. Now, run a finger along your toes
while you look away. If you can't feel the touch,
I want you to let us know. She nodded, then
she hesitated. Is this really that serious? I said it is.
(07:56):
It's it's serious in the way a quiet leak is serious.
Walls don't collapse in one day, but given time and neglect,
they do. Folks, my dad was a type one diabetic,
a juvenile diabetic, and more than thirty eight million Americans
have diabetes. About one hundred and sixty thousand amputations occur
(08:16):
a year, and many of those are preventable. Long term
high blood sugar it stiffens in narrows blood vessels until
circulation is less like a river and more like a trickle.
Nerves are starved of oxygen and they missfire and they fade,
and this cuts the healing very slowly, and then infections
(08:37):
can flourish. So if you add a pair of shoes
that rub in the same place every day, day in,
day out, and you have a you then have a
recipe as predictable as it is tragic, and the villain
here it's friction or pressure, heat, the small everyday irritations
we wave off because we've got dinner to make, a
(09:00):
shift to finish, or a grandchild to pick up after school.
So another example, a retired farmer named Bill braced himself
in my office doorway. He was rugged and sheepest all
at the same and he set down his rubber rain boots.
They were cracked at the heel and they were stiff
as buckets. These, he says, these things got me through
(09:22):
twenty harvests. His socks told a different story. There are
streaks of dried, rust colored blood that had seeped and
dried unnoticed. He couldn't feel the blisters blooming on the
sides of his feet. That these rubber boots they don't forgive.
They rub and they hold moisture, and then you add
into ropathy and you've got a perfect storm. So I
(09:45):
showed him those raw patches in the dry blood. I
asked him, did you feel this? He shook his head
with surprise, and maybe his pride was undone. So we
talked about shoes, not the kind you see in glossy magazines,
but the kind that save toes, wide fitting footwear with
a deep toe box to keep nails from ram riding
(10:08):
into the front, smooth interior seems that don't saw against
the skin, insoles that disperse pressure, especially under metatarsal heads
where those ulcers love to start. And for those that
are wearing protective boots, some of those need that wider
toe box again, and they have petted collars to reduce
(10:28):
that rubbing. And for dress shoes to choose lower heels,
heels that high heels, they force pressure onto the forefront
and they can worsen bunions, hammer toes and cause that
Achilles tightness all which causes friction. All right, folks, Again,
we're talking about neuropathy in the diabetic and what we
(10:49):
need to do to change that. But we're coming up
on a break. When we come back, we're going to
get in this a little bit more. You listen to
the doctor Bob Martin show.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Welcome back. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Barton Show,
and I'm doctor Adam Brockman, Doctor Bobb and I We're
all about smarter living and helping you thrive naturally and
teaching you to become your own best doctor. Most of
the time. And remember, if you've got questions about your health,
nutrition or anything in between. Our toll free hotline is
always opened at eight hundred six zero six eight eight
two to two. That's where you'll find Doctor Bob and
(12:30):
I to licensed physicians, and we're sending by to help
you unlock your best self. That's eight hundred six zero
six eight eight two to two. All right, before the break,
we were talking about diabetic neuropathy in shoes and if
you're at risk of amputation, and we left off talking
about shoes in folks. I've seen the toll of shoes
(12:51):
in both farmer fields and boardrooms alike, where friction is
an equal opportunity. Culprit shoes. They should fit your feet
and went in doubt, size up and add a supportive insole.
A shoe that's too tight is never going to be
fixed by good intentions. So I want to tell you
(13:11):
about a golfer. He was eighty two years old with
a swing that was so smooth that could butter toast.
He arrived in my office because his daughter spotted sores
on the outer edges of his feet while helping him
tie his shoes. He had no idea they were there.
His golf shoes. They were narrow, they were sleek. They
were basically a trophy for his feet. So this beauty,
(13:33):
it betrayed him. So we transitioned him to a wider
pair with forgiving uppers and had him wear white diabetic
socks during golf, and he tucked a compact mirror in
his bag, checking his feet just to see if there
was any blood spots or wear spots as he played
(13:53):
his eighteen holes. And so after this, these ulcers started
to heal. He was checking on him, he kept walking
the course. That's what prevented. Prevention looks like. It's not
quitting the things you love. It's how you can reimagine
doing them and keeping things in check. So not all dangers, though,
come dressed as shoes. Sometimes it's the soft green invitation
(14:17):
of that backyard after rain. The question comes up every spring,
can I walk barefoot outside? I you know? I tell them,
you know, you got the sun on the skin, the
grass between the toes, the earth. It's like doing it's
quiet therapy. But when that sensation is dulled barefoot being barefoot,
(14:38):
it's a roll of the dice, and it's a loaded dice.
A thorn doesn't announce itself. A shard of gravel doesn't apologize.
You might step on a nail and then when you're
keeping your tomatoes weeded, or you might have a small
fissure at a callous that opens up like a whisper
and invites infection. So if you're thinking about, you know,
(15:01):
saying come on, I feel that. Remember neuropathy, it changes
the rules. What was obvious at thirty isn't as obvious
at seventy with ten years of diabetes behind you. So
I don't tell people to abandon what matters to them.
I reframe the goal. For instance, when Missus Hargrove asked
(15:23):
if she could walk barefoot in her garden, I asked
what she loved most about it. She said, the quiet,
the smell of basil when I brush by. So we
built a plan to keep the soul of that ritual
while protecting her feet. Support you know, wear supportive garden
shoes with rigid soles dedicated to basically keeping your feet
(15:46):
clean and dry, cushion and also wear moisture wicking socks
and use a post garden inspection under a good lamp
by the kitchen table. Tools organized at waste height to
avoids stepping or getting anything lost in the grass. A
simple foot wash. Afterwards, pat dry, especially between the toes,
(16:09):
fall by a light moisturizer on the tops and bottoms,
and she smiled and said, it's not the barefoot I want.
She didn't realized it's the piece. So protect the feet
and keep the peace. So let's talk more about the
biology of this high glucose. It batters the nerves and
(16:30):
the blood vessels. The nerves miscommunicate, there's tingling, burning and silence.
The vessels start to narrow and harden, and it's starving
tissues of oxygen and nutrients. Skin becomes a fragile parchment
and it has pressure points and it splits like old papers.
The opportunity for bacteria, it's opportunistic and it colonizes the
(16:54):
defect and a healthy tissue immune cells they swarm to repair,
but and dibettics. That cavalry arrives late and it's understaffed. Meanwhile,
walking continues adding pressure and micro trauma without intervention. What
started as a blister becomes an ulcer. Now you start
to add time, a bit of neglect, and perhaps shoes
(17:18):
and socks habit that hides these warning signs, and you've
got an infection that creeps from the skin to deeper tissues.
Some infections they respond to antibiotics and pressure or offloading,
and some don't. That's the street that leads to amputation.
We don't arrive there in a day. We arrive there
(17:38):
with these daily dismissals. So what do we do differently,
or what can you do differently? Starting today, feel for
warmth with the back of your hand. One warm area
can be a sign of inflammation before your eyes can
see it. Note the swelling. Investigate any new callous. That
(17:58):
yellowed armor seems protective, but it often conceals pressure in
pre ulcer changes. So follow these calluses gently with an
emmory board, never cutting them. And keep the nails trimmed
straight across with rounded corners that if they're straight across,
they don't have those rounded corners that invite ingrowns and
ingrons obviously invite infections. So if your vision or your
(18:22):
reach is limited, schedule regular professional care and also pride
that's a poor podiatrist. Let the skilled hands help when needed,
and make footwear your ally in the store. Remove the
insole stand on it. Does your foot spill over the edges?
(18:42):
If so, the shoe is too narrow feel inside for
the seams your fingers will find which your nerves may not.
Lace the shoes snugly over the end step to promote
prevent forward slide. A foot that bins into the front
of the shoe earns bruised nails in forefront four foot blisters.
(19:02):
Rotate the pairs to allow the drying of them in
damp shoes. Nurture bacteria and soften the skin. For special
circumstances like farm work or construction, or long hours on concrete,
invest in purpose built foot where that will have shock
absorption into width. The aim is simple. It's eliminate the
hot spots before they exist and maybe replace barefoot with
(19:26):
bear minimum protected in the house were supportive slippers with
firm soles. In the shower, consider non slipped sandals to
avoid the scalds or cuts on the patio or in
the garden. Choose toe shoes. If you swim at a
public pool, water shoes are your friend. And if you
love the sensation of the ground, try it with your hands. Gardening, kneading,
(19:50):
grounding practices that don't put your feet at risk. A
few harmless habits that I want you to retire gracefully
for good. Using heating pads on numb feet, you can
burn those, burn your feet without feeling it. And quit
the bathroom surgery on those corns and calluses blades they
(20:11):
don't negotiate. Quit wearing tight socks that leave grooves. That
compression is already challenged your circulation, and I'll break those shoes.
In mentality, shoes should fit today, not after your skin
pays the price for it. And for those who love heels,
limit the height in the hours, give your four foot
(20:36):
of rest on those non days that you don't have
to wear them. And for those in rubber boots, line
them with friction reducing moisture wicking socks and swap to
wider pad collars when you can. And if you notice
new tingling, sudden numbness, or an ulcer that doesn't improve
within forty eight to seventy two hours, or any sign
of spreading that well redness or the warm, don't wait.
(20:59):
Call you your clinician. Early action saves tissues, it saves
your toes, it saves your future. So you don't have
to change everything, You just have to change direction. The
difference between a harmless habit and hidden risk often comes
down to a shoe size, a sock color, a one
minute ritual at sunrise or sunset. Every small safeguard you
(21:20):
add is a hand in your shoulder leaning you away
from that cliff. And here's the grace in all this.
The choices that protect your feet, they also protect your freedom,
your right to walk your dog at desk, to wander
your garden on a summer morning, or to play eighteen
rounds of golf with your friends who talk more than
they want to talk about golf itself. Keep your feet
(21:42):
safe and keep your life in motion. All right, folks,
we're coming up on a break, and after the break,
we're going to get into some of our special features
and try to get to some of your calls. You're

Speaker 3 (22:24):
You welcome back. You're tuned in to the Doctor Bob
Martin Show, and I'm doctor Adam Brockman. You're co pilot
on this journey to better living. Before we jump back
in today's conversation, here's your friendly reminder to stay connected
with us. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, x and we
even have a YouTube channel for your daily wellness tips,
breaking health news in a community that's as passionate about
(22:46):
thriving as you are. All you gotta do is search

your favorite platform and join in on the conversation. Remember,
if you've got pressing health questions, we're just a phone
call away at eight hundred six zero six eight eight
two to two. That's eight hundred six or six eight
eighty two to two. All right, let's get to our
health alternative of the week. Our health alternative of the
(23:26):
week is what happens to your heart health when you
eat nuts regularly. Here's a simple alternative for you. It's
a delicious daily habit, and that's eating a small handful
of nuts, and it aligns with a lower risk of
dying from heart disease. New research following more than eighty
thousand adults for roughly eleven years found that those who
(23:46):
ate the most nuts had notably better outcomes, a lower
risk of cardiovascular death overall and a lower risk from
heart disease. That's a powerful return on a tiny, tasty investment.
So why might nuts be so heart friendly? It starts
with the fats. Nuts are rich in mono unsaturated and
poly unsaturated fats, the kind that help lower LDL levels,
(24:09):
those lousy cholesterol while supporting HDL levels the helpful cholesterol.
But the benefits don't stop there. Nuts deliver plant sterols
that nudge cholesterol metabolism in a healthier direction, and magnesium
that supports vascular tone and insulin sensitivity in fiber that
feeds your gut microbiome. It also is an underappreciated ally
(24:32):
in cardiovascular health. You add anyoxidants in amino acids like
arginine which is a precursor to nitrica oxide, and you
have a whole food formula that calms inflammation, keeps arteries
more relaxed, and supports better blood pressure in triglyceride profiles
over time. This study, it also modeled that food swaps,
(24:53):
and this is where the strategy gets practical. Replacing just
one serving of less healthy items with nuts about one
ounce or so a handful. Small handful was associated with
over twenty percent lower risk of cardiovascular mortality and almost
thirty percent lower risk of heart disease. So you substitute
tree nuts for unprocessed red meat and it shows the
(25:15):
biggest projected payoff with sizable reductions in both cardiovascular and
heart disease risks. So swapping nuts in for processed meats,
snack foods, sweets, cheese, or even fried potatoes also move
the needle in the right direction. So translation, your snack
bowl is a steering wheel, so use it. So how
(25:36):
do you put this to work today? And for about
one ounce of nuts most days of the week, five
to seven days is an excellent target, and that's a
small handful of almonds, walnuts, pistachios, maybe even cashews, and
rotate the varieties to diversify the nutrients. Almonds are there
for vitamin e, walnuts for omega threes, and pistachios for
(25:57):
looting the cons for polyphenols, hazel nuts for fole eate,
and yes, even peanuts which are technically legumes for their
affordability in their protein. I suggest choosing raw or dry
roasted and unsalted whenever possible, and if you love nut butters,
scan the label the best have two ingredients and that's
(26:18):
nuts and salts, so no added sugars or oils. And
if you want to make smart swaps that you'll actually enjoy,
replace chips with a handful of mixed nuts and maybe
a piece of fruit. You top your morning oatmeal or
yogurt with walnuts or berries instead of sugarygranola. And if
you add in pistachios or pecans to salads for that
(26:38):
crunchy and heart healthy fats, maybe try stirring in cashews
into your vegetable stir fry for that texture. Or try
a walnut mushroom crumble and tacos to reduce that red
meat without sacrificing that satisfaction. Or if you're on a budget,
buy in bulk, store half in the freezer, and portion
out small containers so that you're set for the week
(27:02):
and freshness matters. Nuts can go rancid when the oils oxidize,
so keep them in airtight containers, refrigeratum, or again freeze
them for longer shelf life. So this big picture on
the study is encouraging. When we prioritize nutrient dense, minimally
processed foods, these small daily choices compound into meaningful health benefits.
(27:23):
Nuts are a prime example. They're portable, they're satisfying, they're versatile,
and they're consistently associated with better heart outcomes. So start
with one predictable slot in your day. Maybe that's mid
morning with lunch, or as a late afternoon bridge to dinner,
and make a handful of nuts your new daily default
for snacking. Your heart doesn't need perfection, it needs the consistency,
(27:47):
one ounce at a time. You are steering your health
towards a stronger, steadier heartbeat. Nuts your health alternative of
the week. All right, let's get to some of your questions.
First up, we have Dean in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Good day, We love your radio show. Thank you for
all that you do. Name is Dean, Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
Question.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
Ever since I started eating healthier, I noticed that I'm
farting more more flatulence? Is that something I should be
concerned with? Thank you again and have a blessed day.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
All right, Hi, Dean in Hot Springs, thank you for
your kind words and listening to the show and of
course taking charge of your health. So the short answer
on your question about flatulence is yes, this is common
when you add more vegetables, beans, and whole grains. Your
gut microbiome shifts. These newly fed microbes, they ferment fiber,
(28:55):
making beneficial what's known as short chain fatty acids, and
it has with a bit more gas so folks. Normally,
within a few weeks the gut adapts and things go
back to normal. As far as a concern level with this,
it's pretty low unless there's persistent pain, severe bloating, fever
(29:15):
and unintended weight loss, or you're waking up a night
with pain. Otherwise, this is usually a sign that your
internal garden is growing. So I suggest you ease into fiber,
add one high fiber serving every two to three days.
You can start with gentler options, maybe cook carrots, zucchini,
squash before adding in the big portions of beans, broccoli, cauliflower,
(29:39):
or those things that may cause a little bit more flatulence.
And I also suggest soaking and rinsing your dried beans,
and if you're using canned ones, maybe rinse those thoroughly.
Pressure cooking helps. You can also try to season with curcumin, finyl,
or ginger, and that helps to reduce some of that gassiness.
As far as I I also suggests you chew thoroughly,
(30:02):
maybe move a little bit a ten minute walk after
meals seems to help move that gas along. And also
I suggest using doctor o'here's probiotic that with this. Maybe
start with one capsule daily for about two to four
weeks and then reassess. Maybe you need to go to
more than that. If you're still upset, your stomach still upset,
maybe look at some herbal soothers like peppermint or ginger
(30:25):
tea after the meals and that can calm the gut
and reduce floating sensations. So as far as this goes, Dean,
your gut bugs they're learning a healthier tune. So if
you give them time, feed them wisely, and use those
tools that music so to speaks in your comfort usually
improves within a few weeks. So keep going. You're right
on the right track. All right, thank you, Dean. All Right, folks,
(30:48):
we're coming up on a break. You're listening to the
Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
If you're a big sports fan like me, sometimes the
best part about watching a football game are the pre
and post game shows. Well it's the same for probiotics.
The most important part of probiotics are the prebiotics and
post biotics that come along. Not all probiotics have this
superior combination. That's why I only buy Doctor o'heres probiotics.
You see, prebiotics feed the probiotic colonies and your intestines,
(31:22):
and post biotics are the organic nutrients produced by doctor
o'heres three year fermentation process that become the foundation for
long term colonization of the good bacteria in your body.
This is so important. No other probiotic formula has this.

let's get back in today's conversation with our health outrage
of the week, each for the.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Health outrage, because it's nothing blood.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
All right, folks, This week health outrage of the week
is when a government shutdowns threatens supper in public health
and I wish today's segment was lighter, but health doesn't
wait on politics.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
As the shutdown stretches past the one month mark, we're
staring at a plain, painful truth, and that's interruptions to
the supplemental nutrition assistance program. That's the snap, and it
could push millions to the edge of hunger and sickness.
So this isn't a left or right issue. We're talking
about lunch in supper, and when supper is at risk,
(35:54):
so are blood, sugars, blood pressure, immunity, sleep, insanity. Food.
It's not a luxury item. It's a foundational care. And
if you ever tried to work, parent, heal, or even
think on an empty stomach, you already know what the
steaks are. So here's why this is a true health outrage.
(36:14):
The snap program. It's not just a budget line. It's
a lifeline that stabilizes nutrition for kids, seniors, pregnant women, veterans,
and hardworking families alike. So if you pull that prop away,
the body pays immediately. Hospitals get busier, pharmacies see more
crisises in school. Nurses manage more headaches, stomach aches, and
(36:35):
even behavioral blow ups. Hunger. It's never been about just
the calories. It's also about that immunity, the hormones, the mood,
and the ability to make tomorrow's decisions with a clear
head in the steady hand. Now this fallout, it's fast
and predictable. You know, people with diabetes, they see the crisis.
Miss a meal in their meal time. Insulin might be
(36:56):
missed as well. They can drive up their hypoglycemia they
need to. They start to patients start to ration medication
and their blood sugar can spike. And then you take
an insid a aspirin or a thailanol or a ibuprofen
on an empty stomach, and you raise the risk of
ulcers and bleeding. And then for diabetics taking met form
(37:17):
and without food and you invite nausea as well. But folks.
Mental health suffers to the anxiety, the air ability, in
the poor sleep, the hit Families that are already stretched
thin and children are paying the highest price. They get
less nutrients and that translates to more sick days, attention problems,
in learning struggles. So again, kids are in that critical
(37:40):
growth phase. And also pregnant women and postpardon women are
at risk. Those are ones that need iron, folate and protein,
and seniors on fixed incomes that are juggling multiple medications,
and of course you know anyone with diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease,
or GI disorders. The list goes on and on. In
rule communities suffer the most as well, with longer drives
(38:03):
and fewer affordable options. And from a health perspective, this
is a foundational issue. You can't detox, rebuild, or optimize
a body that isn't being fed. So herbs, supplements and
therapies they may still be helpful, but they can't replace calories, protein, fiber,
and minerals. So let's try to put this outrage to work.
(38:25):
If you start with a family triage plan, verify your
benefit status. If you rely on snap, maybe monitor your
food situation and keep your receipts, so every dollar has
a job and do a pantry audit. Hold onto oats,
brown rice, beans and lentils, maybe even look for canned tomatoes,
frozen vegetables and fruit, peanut butter, eggs, and then when
(38:48):
it's affordable, even can tuna or sardines and basic spices.
So build that emergency cart that stretches, and then map
out a seven day budget menu that you can repeat.
Think about oatmeal with peanut butter and cinnamon in the morning, lentils,
tomato soup over rice or tuna, and wipe bean salad
with onion at launched. Simple dinners that can make a
(39:11):
big difference, maybe even for dinner, chili over rice, pasta
with garlic, tomato sauce, sardines with greens and vinegar over
warm rice. These are simple, affordable options that you can
use and hydrate with water first. Water should always be
be the first first drink that you reach for and
use onions, garlics and spices liberally. They make simple food
(39:34):
satisfying and they curb that junk cravings without adding in
that extra cost and rely on your community. Communities is
are superpower if you're one that is secure in your finances,
be someone else's safety net. Donate dollars to food banks
that can stretch them farther. Volunteer to sword and deliver,
and check on your neighbors. And schools often have grab
(39:56):
and go plans which amplify you. Can also amplify the
those through churches in local social pages, and local grocers
and restaurants can do a pay it forward meal boards
and offer some discounts. So I'll leave you with this
on outrage, and I want you to have a mission.
And you know, beans, they may not be glamorous, but
(40:17):
they're protein in a penny suit and right now they're heroes.
So this has been your health outrage of the week.
And when plates are full, hospitals are quieter, classrooms are calmer,
and families are stronger. So let's make sure no child,
senior or veteran pays for this government stale bate with
our health. Let's go ahead and start today, one meal
(40:40):
at a time, all right, folks, So we're coming up
on a break, and if you've got questions about your health,

(43:11):
doctor Adam Brockman. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show,
and folks, we've already reached the final stretch of our
final hour of the show this week, which means it's
time for our health mystery, folks, our health mystery of
the week. We're talking about gray hairs. Secret is that
(43:32):
a cancer warning? What if those silver strands are not
Vanity's enemy but your body's whisper to pay attention, Let's
follow the clues from scalp to sell encoding. White hair
turns great and what that color shift might be signaling
about your health. Japanese investigators traced a strange connection, and
(43:52):
that is the cells that color your hair and the
cells that can become melling on the rise from the
same source, and that's melanocyte cells. And when these cells
they suffer DNA damage from sun stress, toxins or time,
they face a fateful decision. You got. Option one is
repair the harm. Option two is to self destruct. An
(44:14):
option three it's a darker path, and that's a drift
towards malignancy. But there is a fourth and that's a
protective route. And in this remarkable move, the cell retires
its pigment making powers and it trades vanity for viligence
to avoid turning cancerous. And this is a visible outcome,
and it's simple. The strand loses color and it turns gray.
(44:37):
The invisible outcome is profound, and by sacrificing this pigment
the system may reduce the risk of rogue transformation gray
then it might be a safety light, not a sentence.
So is gray hair a cancer warning? Not exactly. It's
a message about the cellular stress, the oxidative load, the
(44:58):
UV exposure, nutrient gaps, or sleep deprivision. It raises the
steaks if neglected. So the timing and pattern matter in
your overall terrain matter even more so if we treat
gray as data and not doom, we just need to
act upon it. First. Flood the system with colorful antioxidants berries, citrus,
(45:18):
leafy greens, herbs and green tea, and support the hair
pigment with B twelve full eight copper or zinc and
eat real food when possible. And calm the stress circuitry
with brief daily practices, maybe even like some gratitude journey journaling.
And guard your sleep like it's a prescription. Seven to
(45:41):
nine hours per night in a cool dark room and
screens off about an hour before bed. Recovery is the
body's favorite repair shop. Folks be proactive with the screenings
as well. Check monthly for moles and see dermatologists for
anything new or changing. And the final clue on this
gray hair, it's not a diagnosis, it's a dispatch that
(46:03):
your body's biology is your front line. Heat it with nourishment,
recovery in those sunlight habits. Keep your curiosity high, you're
fear low, and remember silver can be a sign that
your cells are choosing wisdom. And your final thought on
this aging is choreography, not collapse. If your hair is
going silver, let your habits go golden. All right, folks,
(46:28):
So thank you and on behalf of Doctor Bob, thank
you for being part of today's show. Keep those questions coming,
keep sharing what you learn, and most importantly, keep believing
in your ability to thrive until next time. This is
doctor Adam Brockman for the Doctor Bob Martin Show

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant.
