It's the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Gooday, and welcome to the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm
doctor Adam Brockman, and folks, I've got to tell you
about a topic that was just discussed in our clinic
just last week that's going to make you think about
your own winter immunity So I'm talking to a patient
who comes in exhausted fighting her third cold in just
two months. She's doing everything that she thinks is right.
(01:24):
She's taken vitamin C, she washes her hands religiously, she
even got her flu shot. But here's the missing link.
She's been averaging just four and a half hours of
sleep per night because of work stress in she's doing
this doom scrolling on social media until two am in
the morning. And when I explained that sleep deprivation makes
(01:48):
you nearly three times more likely to catch a cold,
her jaw dropped. That phone addiction is literally destroying her
immune system. That's exactly what's happened to millions of Americans
right now. And it's just the tip of the iceberg
in today's winter immunity crisis. We're we know, we're facing
(02:08):
this perfect storm that we talked about on the show.
COVID variants are circulating, RSV is spiking early in the
flu season is predicting predicted to be pretty brutal. But
here's the truth. Your immune system, it doesn't have to
be that sitting duck. There are immune hacks that can
dramatically boost your defenses. And I'm gonna try to arm
(02:31):
you with about ten today. So if you're feeling run down,
you're catching every bug that comes through the office or
your workplace, or your from your grandkids, or you're that
person who gets sick the moment that the temperature drops.
I want you to join in the conversation with us
by calling at eight hundred six zero six eight eight
(02:52):
two to two. That's the Doctor Bob Martin caller hotline.
It's eight hundred six zero six eight eight two to two.
So don't wait. We're going to take your immunity questions,
and I guarantee you're going to walk away from this
show with a game plan that actually works. Now, let
me paint you a picture of what's really happening out there.
New research shows that nearly eighty six percent of Americans
(03:15):
are deficient in at least one critical immune supporting nutrient
during the winter months. That's eighty six percent. We're talking
about a massive vulnerability that's completely preventable. But big pharma
they would rather sell you that symptom suppressing drug than
teach you how to build an immune system that's so
(03:36):
bulletproof that viruses will just bounce right off. And that's
where we come in today today's show is your immunity arsenal.
We're going to cover the lifestyle hacks that cost you
nearly nothing, but they deliver everything that those targeted nutrition,
the targeted nutrients that can cut your sick days and
a half in the daily practices that will transform your
(03:59):
body into a virus fighting machine. And let's start with
three immunity game changers you can implement before the show ends.
Number one is nose breathing. It sounds simple, but mouth
breathing invites pathogens straight into your system, while nose breathing
filters them out naturally. And number two, fresh air exposure.
(04:23):
Just fifteen minutes of outdoor air daily can reduce your
infection risk by nearly seventy percent. And the third one
is the power of steam. At the first sign of symptoms,
hot steam inhalation disrupts viral activity in your respiratory track.
So go take that hot shower again, folks, Our phone
(04:44):
lines are open at eight hundred six or O six
eighty two to two, or head over to doctor Bob
dot com. That's spelling out the word doctor docto r
Bob dot com. And whether you're dealing with reincurring infections,
you're worried about your kid's health, or you're that person
who just can't shake that brain fog when it comes
with those those low grade illnesses. We've got answers for you.
(05:07):
And here's what I love about today's topic. Winter immunity
isn't about pharmaceuticals or complicated protocols. It's about simple, science
based strategies that cost practically nothing, but they can deliver
life changing results. We're talking about hacks that are so
effective that when you implement them consistently, your family and
your friends will start asking what you're doing differently. The
(05:29):
bottom line is this your immune system. It's incredibly intelligent,
but it needs the right support to function optimally. Today,
we're going to give you that blueprint. So stay with us,
take notes, and get ready to transform your own health.
I want you to grab a pen right now, because
we're going to get tactical today. This is the doctor
(05:51):
Bob Martin Show and we're just getting started. Don't touch
a dial and keep those calls coming eight hundred and
six zero six eight eighty two to two, or join
in the conversation online at Doctorbob dot com. That's where
We're going to build a community of people who refuse
to accept sickness as inevitable. Your immune system is about
to get that upgrade it deserves. Let's go ahead and
dive in, all right, folks, Today we're talking about winter
(06:15):
immunity hacks and winters inching in, the thermometers dropping, and
I'm willing to bet half of you listening are either
fighting something off or know someone who's been knocked flat
by the latest bug that's been going around. That average
American catches two to four colds per year per year,
in seventy five percent of those happen between October and March.
(06:36):
That's not a coincidence. People. While your coworkers they're dropping
like flies, there are folks who sail right through winter
without as much as a single sniffle. So you might
ask what's their secret. Today, we're going to count down
the top ten winter immunity hacks that separate the sick
from the super healthy. These aren't your grandmother's old wives tale,
(07:00):
although she might have used these, and they might she
might have been onto something here. These are evidence based,
their doctor approof strategies that can transform your winner from
a season of survival into a season of thriving. So
let's start. Let's go ahead and dive in. Let's get
to hack number ten, which is the citrus strategy. It's
(07:20):
your vitamin c's power play. Now, before you start thinking,
you roll your eyes, you think, oh, here's another orange
juice lecture. I want you to hear me out. Yes,
vitamin C is critical, it's crucial. It boosts those white
blood cell production by as much as thirty percent. But
here's where most people mess up. They think orange juice
is the only answer. Folks that store bought orange juice
(07:43):
is basically sugar water with a little bit of a
vitamin sprinkled in. You want the real deal, go for
one cup of organic strawberries and that gives you one
hundred and fifty percent of your daily vitamin C needs.
And bell peppers they even have more vitamin C. And
here's a fun fact that will blow your mind. A
single Kiwi fruit packs more vitamin C than entire orange.
(08:05):
So how about starting your morning with a smoothie with
frozen berries, spinach, and a squeeze of fresh lemon. All right,
let's move on to hack number nine. That's the forgotten mineral,
which is zinc. Here's a staggering statistic for you, folks.
Two billion people world worldwide or zinc deficient and most
(08:26):
don't even know it. And just two medium size oysters
they give you nearly three hundred percent of your daily
zinc needs. And if you don't like oysters, there's other
things out there, like a three ounce serving of beef
provides about thirty five percent of your daily zinc requirement.
And vegetarians think of pumpkin seeds. They are zinc powerhouses.
(08:50):
And zinc is fine with supplementation, but look for high
quality options. As the low quality zinc options out there
they may mess with copp absorption. So again, quality over
quantity or price. Hack number eight is a sleep conspiracy.
Why the seven hours that you've been told the six
(09:11):
to eight hours isn't enough. I want you to imagine
your immune system as an elite military unit. Now imagine
sending that unit into battle after they've been awake for
twenty hours straight. That's what you're doing when you skimp
on your sleep. Recent research shows that people getting less
than six hours of sleep are four point two times
(09:33):
more likely to catch a cold. But here's what you're
also not being told. It's not about the duration, it's
about the quality. We recently did this did dove into
more sleep information for you, and it's all about that
quality of sleep, your deep sleep cycles. Those phases are
(09:53):
when your body produces the most infection fighting cells. So
again I've said this often, room temp is between about
sixty five to sixty eight degrees fahrenheit. Blackout curtains, and
this is critical. No screens for about thirty minutes before bedtime.
Your phone's blue light is literally affecting your immune system
(10:15):
and that's not in a good way. All Right, folks,
we're coming up on a stop and I want you
to know if you've got questions about your immune system,
don't hesitate to give us a call. Our numbers eight
hundred six zero six eight eight two two again, that's
eight hundred and six zero six eight eight two to two,
or you can head over to our website at doctor
(10:36):
Bob dot com to submit your question. All right, we're
going to coming up after the break with our top
seven packs per immune system. You're listening to the Doctor
Bob Martin show.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Coyolic Age garlic extract is considered by many to be
the goat of garlic the greatest garlic supplement of all time.
For over fifty years, Coyolic Age Garlic extract has been
the trusted choice for millions for safe, effective, cardiovascular and
immune support. Age garlic extracts effectiveness is well documented in
over nine hundred published scientific papers and studies. Kyolic age
(11:24):
garlic extract is created by aging organically grown garlic for
up to twenty months. This unique aging process makes age
garlic extract gentle on the stomach, eliminates the offensive garlic
odor and taste, and results in safe, beneficial compounds found
only in Kyolic age garlic extract products. Whether you're seeking
ways to maintain healthy cholesterol or blood pressure levels, or
(11:46):
strengthen your immunity, there is a Coyolic formula right for you.
Visit coyolic dot com and learn about Coyolic's many health benefits.
That's Kyolic dot Com. Look for Coyolic at natural health
stores nationwide and online.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Cat Welcome back. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and today we're talking about immunity
hacks and how you can arm yourself for the winter.
(12:22):
We went through the We went through three already, and
let's go ahead and get to those other seven of
the top ten. The next one is the probiotics and
in what your gut needs to guard itself. This is
hack number seven. And one thing we discussed here on
our latest interview was that eighty percent of your immune
(12:44):
system lives in your gut, and that's your stomach is
basically your immune system headquarters. But here's where it gets
really interesting. Not all probiotics are created equal. Those expensive
probiotics supplements that they sit on those pharmacy shelves, many
of them are dead by the time they reach you.
That's why doctor Bob and I we recommend doctor Ohira's
(13:07):
probioducts with a three year fermentation process. And if you
want food options, Kiefer is a good option that contains
up to sixty one different strains of beneficial bacteria. Greek
yogurt they have live cultures. That's another winner. And of
course everyone's favorite sour crap those two tablespoons. It gives
(13:30):
you more probiotics than most supplements and plus vitamin C.
So listeners, I want to ask you what is your
favorite fermented foods that you've tried and liked? So join
in the conversation by calling the show or heading over
to the website and let us know that's at doctor
Bob dot com. Let's move on to hack number six.
(13:51):
That's the just trying to get some movement, exercise heels
and also, but you can also decrease your immune system.
So here's that something that might shock you. Moderate exercise
boost immunity by up to forty percent, but intense exercise
can suppress it for up to seventy two hours. It's
(14:12):
called the open window effect, and it explains why marathon
runners often get sick right after races. If you want
to know your sweet spot, look for thirty to forty
five minutes of brisk walking, light jogging, or yoga, anything
that gets you slightly breathless but still able to hold
on a conversation. And here's a winter specific tip. Bundle
(14:35):
up and get outside. That cold air exposure in small
doses actually stimulates your immune system and it simulates immune
cell production. All right, let's move on to hack number five,
and that's a hydration hack. It's not just about water.
Everyone tells you to drink more water, but they're missing
half the story. And when a your mucous membranes, you're
(15:00):
bodies first line of defense. They dry out from heated
indoor air. But chugging plain water won't fix that. You
need electrolytes, a pinch of high quality se salt in
your water, maybe coconut water or bone broth. And here's
a game changer. Warm liquids are actually better than cold
ones in winter. They help to maintain your body's core
(15:23):
temperature and it keeps those nasal passages moist. And if
we're talking about those nasal passages, let's talk about clear
nasal spray. That's the xylotol based nasal spray that cleans
and moisturizes. Doctor Bob and I. We've been recommended to
patients and listeners for years and the feedback has been phenomenal.
So again, that's clear nasal spray. Let's move on to
(15:46):
hack number four, and that's your superfoods and what really works, folks.
I've got a stack of studies here and they all
lead to garlic as an immune superfood. Fresh gar like
it contains a compound that's been shown to reduce cold
symptoms by over sixty percent. And here's the catch again,
(16:08):
it's high quality garlic and another recommendation that we have
used for years is kyolic age garlic extract. The other
superfoods mushrooms, particularly shaitaki and rishi. These contain beta glue
cans that they literally train your immune system to recognize
(16:29):
and fight threats faster. And if you want another show favorite,
it's radiant greens that have an anoxidant blend that includes
spillina to arm your immune system. All great options here.
I hope you're taking notes. Let's get to hack number three,
and that is the vitamin D crisis. And this one's huge. People.
(16:52):
Vitamin D isn't actually a vitamin, it's a hormone. In winter,
when we're getting minimal sunics bosure, eighty percent of Americans
become deficient without even knowing it. And here's the scary part.
People with vitamin D levels below twenty twenty grand nanograms
per mil leader there they're twice as likely to develop
(17:15):
respiratory infections. But here's the empowering part. You can fix this.
Fatty fish like wild salmon, sardines, and mackerel. They're good
food options and supplementation might be necessary, but get tested first.
Your optimal level should be between forty and sixty nanograms
per mili leader not the twenty that the labs call normal.
(17:40):
So find a healthcare professional that knows the right way
to supplement vitamin D many times, you also need to
have a combination of vitamin D three in vitamin K two.
All right, let's get to hack number two, and that's
the stress immunity connection in your mind as your medicine. Now,
I want to go ahead and give you an email
(18:01):
question from Tom and Denver. He says, Hi, doctors, I
noticed I always get sick during busy periods at work.
Is this a coincidence? So Tom, I want to answer
this for everyone. And you've stumbled on something that's huge.
Chronic stress. It increases cortisol, which suppresses immune function by
up to fifty percent. So your observation, it's back by
(18:24):
solid science. And here's what happens. Stress hormones they literally
tell your immune system to take a break. It's your
body's way of prioritizing immediate survival over long time, long
term health. But we can hack the system. Just doing
five minutes of deep breathing daily can reduce cortisol by
(18:46):
twenty five percent, and meditation even just ten minutes a
boost antibody production. And here's something that's that's very simple,
just gratitude journal and for just two it's before betted
immunes immune. It helps to improve your immune function within
just a few short weeks. All right, let's get to
(19:08):
our hack number one, and that's a timing revolution, and
that this is matters more than what you think. So
this is our number one hack today, folks. It's not
just about what you do, it's when you do it.
Your immune system follows that circadian rhythm. It t cells,
or your immune cells. They're most active between ten pm
(19:30):
and two am, but that's only if you're sleeping. Your
your body temperature, it naturally drops in the evening when
you're That triggers your immune cell production. If you fight
that drop and you do something like a late night
Netflix binges, you're sabotaging your defenses. And meal timing matters too.
(19:53):
Eating late disrupts the guts microbiome. It's natural rhythm. Your
last meal should be about two to three hours before bedtime.
You can do a light snack, but again that meal
timing matters. And here's here's something that you should consider
as well. When we're talking about eating like a time
restricted eating, eating about within about a ten hour window
(20:18):
throughout the day. It boosts your immune system by up
to forty percent. It gives your digestive system time to repair,
in your immune system time to patrol your body. So
look into intermittent fasting and something that I do is
I usually eat between between ten am to six to
eight pm. It works very well keeps your immune system
(20:42):
in chat All right, So listeners, that's a lot of
information unpacked today, but here's your homework and I want
to hear from you as well. Pick three of these
hacks and commit to them for just the next thirty days.
Track how you feel and call us or email us
with your results. And for those of you that are
(21:02):
looking for high quality supplements and whole foods, I recommend
checking out Natural Grocers. They've got strict standards and knowledgeable

if you're close to a store, visit it, and if

just needs the right fuel in the right environment to
do its job. You don't need to do everything perfectly,
but you do need to do some of these hacks consistently.
Your best health is just a few of these hacks away,
all right, So stay healthy throughout the holiday season. The
winter Immunity Boost here, you have it to arm yourself
(21:47):
and folks. And when we come back, I'm going to
get to a health alternativeve the week that will also
help your immune system. You're listening to the Doctor Bob
Martin Show.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Anybody's got a main mistakes, but everybody's got a choice
to make. Everybody needs to lead the faith. Money taking

Speaker 3 (22:12):

eight hundred six zero six eight eight two to two.
Don't hesitate. Your health journey matters to us and we're
here to help you every step of the way. And folks,
we're going to continue talking about how you can boost
your immune system this week with our health alternative. The
(23:30):
average American consumes over one hundred and fifty pounds of
refined sugar annually, while completely ignoring one of nature's most
powerful immune boosting sweeteners that's sitting right on the grocery
store shelf. In today's health alternative spotlight, we're talking about
organic honey, and not just any honey, but the real
(23:52):
deal that supports your immune system naturally, the golden elixir
that's in your pantry. It can work like an immune warrior,
fighting off infections while simultaneously nourishing your body with over
one hundred and eighty beneficial compounds. That's exactly what we're
talking about when we discuss organic honey as this week's
(24:12):
game changing health alternative. Let's cut through the marketing noise
and get to the real truth about organic honey. When
I say organic honey, I'm talking about that, you know,
to ignore that process heat traps syrup that's masquerading as
honey in those plastic, bare bottles. We're discussing raw, unfiltered,
(24:33):
certified organic honey that maintains its full spectrum of bioactive compounds.
Here's what makes that golden treasure so remarkable. Organic honey
contains a complex matrix of antioxidants, including polyphenyls, flavonoids, and
phenolinic acids that rival the antioxidant powers of many fruits
(24:54):
and vegetables. But here's what's else. Raw organic honey actively
simulates your immune system by boosting cytokin production, those specialized
proteins that coordinate your body's defense mechanisms, and the phytal
nutrients that are in organic honey. These are the same
plant compounds that protect the original flower from disease, and
(25:17):
it transfers those protective benefits directly onto you. Think of
it as borrowing nature's own immune defense for your personal use. Now,
let's talk about what's actually happening in your body when
you consume quality organic honey. And it's not just folk medicine.
We've got solid research that back the claims. First, organic
(25:38):
honey demonstrates proven antibacterial and anti viral properties. Studies show
that specific variants like eucalyptus and citrus honey can suppress
costs more effectively than many over the counter medications while
simultaneously helping your body combat that upper respiratory infections in
all natural But here's where organic honey really shines as
(26:03):
an immune powerhouse. It contains b propylists in traces of
local pollen. B propolis acts like nature's antibiotic, providing anti
fungal and antibacterial protection in those tiny amounts of local pollen.
They're like a gentle vaccine, gradually building your immunity to
environmental allergens when consumed regularly before allergy season. And your
(26:29):
gut health plays a critical role in immune function and function,
We're talking about eighty percent of your immune system residing
in your digestive track. Organic honey contains beneficial prebiotics that
feed the good bacteria in your intestines, creating a stronger
gut barrier in a more robust immune system. All right, now,
(26:49):
let's get practical. How do you actually harness these immune
boosting benefits without turning into a sugar consuming machine. I
suggest just starting with one to two ts spoons daily.
That's your therapeutic dose. I recommend taking it first thing
in the morning, either straight off the spoon or mixing
it with warm water, in fresh lemon or even in
(27:11):
an herbal tea. That creates an immediate alkalizing effect, and
it gives your immune system an early morning boost. And
for more acute immune support during cold and flu season,
increase to one teaspoon every four hours, but never exceeding
for tea spoons daily. Remember we're talking about using honey
(27:32):
as medicine, not as a free for all sweetener. Here's
a I want to give you a tip for my
clinical experience. Create immune boosting honey pearls by mixing organic
honey with fresh grated ginger in a pinch of tumeric.
You can roll those into small balls and store them
in the refrigerator and you can just take one or
give to a family member when you feel the first
(27:54):
tickle of a sore throat. And here's where I need
you to protect from the shocking truth about honey fraud.
Up to seventy five percent of honey sold in American
supermarkets has been ultra filtered, in adulterated, stripping away the
very compounds that make honey beneficial. So I want you
(28:15):
to look for these type of qualities in your honey.
It's certified organic, it's raw, it's unfiltered, and preferably local.
The label should clearly state raw and unfiltered. And if
it's crystal clear and it flows like syrup, go ahead
and walk away. Real honey crystallizes and it looks cloudy.
(28:35):
I suggest you shop at farmers' markets, health food stores
like natural grocers, or buy directly from local beekeepers. And yes,
authentic organic honey. It costs more. Expect to pay about
eight to fifteen dollars per pound, but again, you're investing
in medicine, not just a sweetener. And before you rush
(28:56):
out to stock up, let's address some safety considerations. Raw
hone honey is absolutely off limits for infants under twelve
twelve months old. They're digestive systems. They simply can't handle
the naturally occurring bacteria just yet. And if you have
severe pollen allergies, start with tiny amounts and monitor your
reaction carefully. While local honey it can help to build
(29:18):
allergy tolerance, it can occasionally trigger reactions in highly sensitive individuals,
and diabetics need to approach honey cautiously. While it's a
more complex sugar than refined options, it still can impact
blood glucose levels, So work with your healthcare provider to
determine if and how honey can fit into your regular
(29:39):
management plan. Folks, here's the bottom line. If you have
the power to upgrade your immune system naturally, why don't
we do it with this remarkable gift from nature? Instead
of reaching for synthetic immune boosters that are loaded with
questionable ingredients, you can harness thousands of years of traditional
wisdom backed by modern science. So start small, source wisely,
(30:00):
and pay attention to how your body responds. Within just
a few weeks of incorporating quality organic honey into your
daily routine, many of my patients report fewer cold symptoms,
improved energy in that wonderful feeling of knowing that they've
nourished their body with something pure and powerful. This is
about taking control of your health story one golden spoonful
(30:23):
of time. Your immune system deserves nothing less than nature's
finess protection. And remember, we're not just talking about sweetening
your tea. We're talking about sweetening your entire approach to
immune health naturally and effectively with organic honey, your health
alternative of the week.
Speaker 5 (31:00):

Today, kids don't just bring home homework, They bring home germs,
and those germs don't just stay with them, they spread
to the whole household. That's why Clear Nasal Spray was

Speaker 3 (34:24):
Welcome back Doctor Adam Brockman here and you're tuned into
the Doctor Bob Martin Show, America's number one health talk
radio program. And before we can jump in today's product recall,
I want to remind you that your wellness journey continues
even when we're off air. Our physician team is always
available at eight hundred six zero six eight eight two
two with your health questions. That's eight hundred six zero
(34:47):
six eight eight two to two. And you can also
access our entire podcast library anytime at doctor Bob dot com.
That's fine the word doctor D O C T O
R Bob dot com. All right, let's get in our
product recall, and as the holidays are coming up, it
might be something that you have in your refrigerator right now.
(35:09):
Did you know that something as simple as sprinkling shreaded
cheese on your pizza could potentially send you to the
emergency room. In this week's product recall, we're spotlighting a
staggering food crisis that's sweeping across thirty one states in
Puerto Rico, and it might be sitting at a refrigerator
right now. Over one point five million bags of shredded
(35:30):
cheese have been yanked from store shelves due to dangerous
metal fragmentation. And we're talking about Great Lakes Cheese company.
They issued a Class two recall after discovering that metal
pieces could be lurking in their products, turning your family's
favorite comfort food into a potentially weapon against your digestive system.
(35:53):
And here's what makes this recall troubling. These contaminated products
were distributed under more than twenty different brand names across
major retailers you trust every day. And we're talking about
brands like Great Value at Walmart, Good and Gather at Target,
Happy Farms at Aldi, and dozens more. It's not talking
(36:14):
about obscure product from a questionable manufacturer. This is mainstream
cheese that's sold at stores where millions of families shop weekly.
So the scope of this recall it reads like a
who's who of American grocery stores. The effective brands include
Always Save, Borden Brookshires, Cachet Valley Creamery, Chestnut Hill, Coburn Farms,
(36:42):
Food Club Food, Lion, Good and Gather, Great Lakes Cheese,
Great Value, Happy Farms by Aldi, Know and Love, Public, Snook,
Simple Go, and many many moors. But what's particularly shocking
is the variety of cheese products affected. This isn't limited
(37:03):
to one type. We're seeing contamination across mozzarella, Italian blends,
pizza blends, provolone, and even parmesan varieties all carry best
by dates between January and March twenty twenty six, meaning
those potentially dangerous products that were manufactured recently and they
may be sitting in your refrigerator so unknown to you,
(37:26):
their microscopic metal fragments that are mixed in with innocent
looking shreds of cheese. One bite, it could result in
cuts in your mouth, your throat, or your digestive track
and words. Yet, these metal fragments, they could damage your teeth,
they could cause choking or even require surgical removal from
your intestinal track. So the FDA it classifies these as
(37:49):
a Class two recall, meaning these products have potentially they
can potentially cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,
So don't let the temporary designation for you. We're talking
about some internal injuries that could require emergency medical intervention.
So this is what I want you to do. I
want you to locate and isolate, open your refrigerator and
(38:10):
remove any shredded cheese products with best buy dates between
January and March twenty twenty six. I want you to
check the label on these and before you dispose of anything,
take a photo of that label. That's your documentation in
case you do want to obtain a refund for this
and use safe disposable disposal for these products. Do not
(38:32):
attempt to pick through the cheese looking for metal fragments.
You can't see all the contamination with the naked eye,
so seal the entire package in a plastic bag and
dispose of it in your trash. So, if you want
to want to contact the retailer get a refund, all
you've got to do is make sure that you can
identify what products were involved with this recall, and if
(38:55):
anyone in your household has consumed these potentially contaminated cheese
products and experiences any of these symptoms, I want you
to seek medical care. So sharp or Protestant mouth, throat
or stomach pain difficulties, swallowing or unusual throat sensations, or
dental pain sensitivity, any sensation that of something that's stuck
(39:16):
in your throat or digestive track. I don't want you
to wait until these symptoms worse, and these metal fragments
can embed themselves in that digestive track. So again, the
recall was originated with Great Lakes Cheese Company and was
alerted to possible contamination in the raw materials back in
October of twenty twenty five. So this massive recall, it
(39:39):
represents more than just a manufacturing era. It's a reminder
that you must become the ultimate guardian of your family's health.
In our modern food system, products travel thousands of miles
and they pass through numerous hands before reaching your table.
Every step in that journey presents opportunities for contamination or
a decrease in quality. So your health it's too precious
(40:03):
to leave entirely in someone else's hands. By staying informed
about recalls, you can choose your suppliers carefully, and you
can trust your instincts about food quality. You're taking control
of the most fundamental aspects of your well being and
your family's well being. So, folks, I want you to remember,
every meal is an opportunity to nourish your body or
(40:26):
expose it to harm. Choose wisely, state diligent, and never
hesitate to prioritize safety over convenience. All right, folks, So
that's been your product recall the of the week, A

(42:51):
Call eight hundred sixt zero six eight eight two to
two and ask for Nouvasel today. Welcome back. This is
(43:13):
doctor Adam Brockman for the Doctor Bob Martin Show and
it's time for our health mystery of the week. Did
you know that the same pill that can calm symptoms
at eight am, they may fizzle them at eight pm,
(43:36):
or vice versa. This is where compelling evidence meets scientific uncertainty.
Your body circadian clock is the conductor that can sharpen
or blunt a drugs effect without changing the dose. Here's
the clinical puzzle. It's the same medication, but different results
depending on when you take it. For some drugs, morning
(43:57):
versus bedtime isn't just a footnote the difference between clear
skies and morning fog, And here's your evidence. Like cholesterol,
the short acting statins, they tend to work best at
night because liver cholesterol making machinery at peaks during sleep,
but many clinicians still recommend the short acting for night
(44:17):
in the long acting they're more flexible the lone acting statins.
And for blood pressure, early studies hinted that bedtime dosing
they restored a healthy night time dipping in that blood pressure,
but a large modern trial found no meaningful difference in
hard events between morning and evening dosing, So it raises
a debate of better numbers versus better outcomes. If we're
(44:41):
looking at allergy medication, those antihistamines at night they can
line up with our sleep, but those non drowsy options
often perform best when taken before your personal symptoms peak,
like mourning for some pollens, and evening for others. And
if we're talking about people with arthritis, in taking pain medication,
(45:01):
they may often feel worse stiffness on waking. So if
you time that pain medication or insids and sids for
that peak effect while waking in the morning. So some
extended release anti inflammatory drugs are out there or steroid
formulations that they're designed for nighttime dosing to target those
morning flare ups. And this is what's happening. That circadian rhythm.
(45:24):
It coordinates hormones like cortisol rises near dawn, melatonin surges
a night. In those liver enzymes, the stomach acid, the
kidney filtration, they're like organ clocks. The rhythms they alter absorption,
the transporters in the metabolism. So this is what happens
in how fast a drug gets in, how long it lasts,
(45:45):
and what side effects show up. Things like shift work,
jet lag, light exposure, and even your meal timing can
scramble your internal clock in the medicine's performance. So why
two people differ on the same drug, It just depends
on how maybe their age, their sex, or if they're
(46:06):
a lark versus an al, they're chronotype, and even genetics.
So if we're looking at this. You just need to
stay consistent with a routine. If a plan is set
where you're getting where your performance on the drug is
fine if you're taking it at night or in the
morning and you don't need to switch anything. But if
it does seem like it doesn't work for you well
(46:28):
at different times, talk with your prescriber or your doctor.
They may be able to come up with a plan
that works better for you. So folks, again, stay curious.
Science evolves. Thank you so much for joining us this week.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
It's the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Gooday, and welcome to the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm
doctor Adam Brockman, and folks, I've got to tell you
about a topic that was just discussed in our clinic
just last week that's going to make you think about
your own winter immunity So I'm talking to a patient
who comes in exhausted fighting her third cold in just
two months. She's doing everything that she thinks is right.
(01:24):
She's taken vitamin C, she washes her hands religiously, she
even got her flu shot. But here's the missing link.
She's been averaging just four and a half hours of
sleep per night because of work stress in she's doing
this doom scrolling on social media until two am in
the morning. And when I explained that sleep deprivation makes
(01:48):
you nearly three times more likely to catch a cold,
her jaw dropped. That phone addiction is literally destroying her
immune system. That's exactly what's happened to millions of Americans
right now. And it's just the tip of the iceberg
in today's winter immunity crisis. We're we know, we're facing
(02:08):
this perfect storm that we talked about on the show.
COVID variants are circulating, RSV is spiking early in the
flu season is predicting predicted to be pretty brutal. But
here's the truth. Your immune system, it doesn't have to
be that sitting duck. There are immune hacks that can
dramatically boost your defenses. And I'm gonna try to arm
(02:31):
you with about ten today. So if you're feeling run down,
you're catching every bug that comes through the office or
your workplace, or your from your grandkids, or you're that
person who gets sick the moment that the temperature drops.
I want you to join in the conversation with us
by calling at eight hundred six zero six eight eight
(02:52):
two to two. That's the Doctor Bob Martin caller hotline.
It's eight hundred six zero six eight eight two to two.
So don't wait. We're going to take your immunity questions,
and I guarantee you're going to walk away from this
show with a game plan that actually works. Now, let
me paint you a picture of what's really happening out there.
New research shows that nearly eighty six percent of Americans
(03:15):
are deficient in at least one critical immune supporting nutrient
during the winter months. That's eighty six percent. We're talking
about a massive vulnerability that's completely preventable. But big pharma
they would rather sell you that symptom suppressing drug than
teach you how to build an immune system that's so
(03:36):
bulletproof that viruses will just bounce right off. And that's
where we come in today today's show is your immunity arsenal.
We're going to cover the lifestyle hacks that cost you
nearly nothing, but they deliver everything that those targeted nutrition,
the targeted nutrients that can cut your sick days and
a half in the daily practices that will transform your
(03:59):
body into a virus fighting machine. And let's start with
three immunity game changers you can implement before the show ends.
Number one is nose breathing. It sounds simple, but mouth
breathing invites pathogens straight into your system, while nose breathing
filters them out naturally. And number two, fresh air exposure.
(04:23):
Just fifteen minutes of outdoor air daily can reduce your
infection risk by nearly seventy percent. And the third one
is the power of steam. At the first sign of symptoms,
hot steam inhalation disrupts viral activity in your respiratory track.
So go take that hot shower again, folks, Our phone
(04:44):
lines are open at eight hundred six or O six
eighty two to two, or head over to doctor Bob
dot com. That's spelling out the word doctor docto r
Bob dot com. And whether you're dealing with reincurring infections,
you're worried about your kid's health, or you're that person
who just can't shake that brain fog when it comes
with those those low grade illnesses. We've got answers for you.
(05:07):
And here's what I love about today's topic. Winter immunity
isn't about pharmaceuticals or complicated protocols. It's about simple, science
based strategies that cost practically nothing, but they can deliver
life changing results. We're talking about hacks that are so
effective that when you implement them consistently, your family and
your friends will start asking what you're doing differently. The
(05:29):
bottom line is this your immune system. It's incredibly intelligent,
but it needs the right support to function optimally. Today,
we're going to give you that blueprint. So stay with us,
take notes, and get ready to transform your own health.
I want you to grab a pen right now, because
we're going to get tactical today. This is the doctor
(05:51):
Bob Martin Show and we're just getting started. Don't touch
a dial and keep those calls coming eight hundred and
six zero six eight eighty two to two, or join
in the conversation online at Doctorbob dot com. That's where
We're going to build a community of people who refuse
to accept sickness as inevitable. Your immune system is about
to get that upgrade it deserves. Let's go ahead and
dive in, all right, folks, Today we're talking about winter
(06:15):
immunity hacks and winters inching in, the thermometers dropping, and
I'm willing to bet half of you listening are either
fighting something off or know someone who's been knocked flat
by the latest bug that's been going around. That average
American catches two to four colds per year per year,
in seventy five percent of those happen between October and March.
(06:36):
That's not a coincidence. People. While your coworkers they're dropping
like flies, there are folks who sail right through winter
without as much as a single sniffle. So you might
ask what's their secret. Today, we're going to count down
the top ten winter immunity hacks that separate the sick
from the super healthy. These aren't your grandmother's old wives tale,
(07:00):
although she might have used these, and they might she
might have been onto something here. These are evidence based,
their doctor approof strategies that can transform your winner from
a season of survival into a season of thriving. So
let's start. Let's go ahead and dive in. Let's get
to hack number ten, which is the citrus strategy. It's
(07:20):
your vitamin c's power play. Now, before you start thinking,
you roll your eyes, you think, oh, here's another orange
juice lecture. I want you to hear me out. Yes,
vitamin C is critical, it's crucial. It boosts those white
blood cell production by as much as thirty percent. But
here's where most people mess up. They think orange juice
is the only answer. Folks that store bought orange juice
(07:43):
is basically sugar water with a little bit of a
vitamin sprinkled in. You want the real deal, go for
one cup of organic strawberries and that gives you one
hundred and fifty percent of your daily vitamin C needs.
And bell peppers they even have more vitamin C. And
here's a fun fact that will blow your mind. A
single Kiwi fruit packs more vitamin C than entire orange.
(08:05):
So how about starting your morning with a smoothie with
frozen berries, spinach, and a squeeze of fresh lemon. All right,
let's move on to hack number nine. That's the forgotten mineral,
which is zinc. Here's a staggering statistic for you, folks.
Two billion people world worldwide or zinc deficient and most
(08:26):
don't even know it. And just two medium size oysters
they give you nearly three hundred percent of your daily
zinc needs. And if you don't like oysters, there's other
things out there, like a three ounce serving of beef
provides about thirty five percent of your daily zinc requirement.
And vegetarians think of pumpkin seeds. They are zinc powerhouses.
(08:50):
And zinc is fine with supplementation, but look for high
quality options. As the low quality zinc options out there
they may mess with copp absorption. So again, quality over
quantity or price. Hack number eight is a sleep conspiracy.
Why the seven hours that you've been told the six
(09:11):
to eight hours isn't enough. I want you to imagine
your immune system as an elite military unit. Now imagine
sending that unit into battle after they've been awake for
twenty hours straight. That's what you're doing when you skimp
on your sleep. Recent research shows that people getting less
than six hours of sleep are four point two times
(09:33):
more likely to catch a cold. But here's what you're
also not being told. It's not about the duration, it's
about the quality. We recently did this did dove into
more sleep information for you, and it's all about that
quality of sleep, your deep sleep cycles. Those phases are
(09:53):
when your body produces the most infection fighting cells. So
again I've said this often, room temp is between about
sixty five to sixty eight degrees fahrenheit. Blackout curtains, and
this is critical. No screens for about thirty minutes before bedtime.
Your phone's blue light is literally affecting your immune system
(10:15):
and that's not in a good way. All Right, folks,
we're coming up on a stop and I want you
to know if you've got questions about your immune system,
don't hesitate to give us a call. Our numbers eight
hundred six zero six eight eight two two again, that's
eight hundred and six zero six eight eight two to two,
or you can head over to our website at doctor
(10:36):
Bob dot com to submit your question. All right, we're
going to coming up after the break with our top
seven packs per immune system. You're listening to the Doctor
Bob Martin show.
Speaker 4 (11:00):

the goat of garlic the greatest garlic supplement of all time.

stores nationwide and online.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Cat Welcome back. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and today we're talking about immunity
hacks and how you can arm yourself for the winter.
(12:22):
We went through the We went through three already, and
let's go ahead and get to those other seven of
the top ten. The next one is the probiotics and
in what your gut needs to guard itself. This is
hack number seven. And one thing we discussed here on
our latest interview was that eighty percent of your immune
(12:44):
system lives in your gut, and that's your stomach is
basically your immune system headquarters. But here's where it gets
really interesting. Not all probiotics are created equal. Those expensive
probiotics supplements that they sit on those pharmacy shelves, many
of them are dead by the time they reach you.
That's why doctor Bob and I we recommend doctor Ohira's
(13:07):
probioducts with a three year fermentation process. And if you
want food options, Kiefer is a good option that contains
up to sixty one different strains of beneficial bacteria. Greek
yogurt they have live cultures. That's another winner. And of
course everyone's favorite sour crap those two tablespoons. It gives
(13:30):
you more probiotics than most supplements and plus vitamin C.
So listeners, I want to ask you what is your
favorite fermented foods that you've tried and liked? So join
in the conversation by calling the show or heading over
to the website and let us know that's at doctor
Bob dot com. Let's move on to hack number six.
(13:51):
That's the just trying to get some movement, exercise heels
and also, but you can also decrease your immune system.
So here's that something that might shock you. Moderate exercise
boost immunity by up to forty percent, but intense exercise
can suppress it for up to seventy two hours. It's
(14:12):
called the open window effect, and it explains why marathon
runners often get sick right after races. If you want
to know your sweet spot, look for thirty to forty
five minutes of brisk walking, light jogging, or yoga, anything
that gets you slightly breathless but still able to hold
on a conversation. And here's a winter specific tip. Bundle
(14:35):
up and get outside. That cold air exposure in small
doses actually stimulates your immune system and it simulates immune
cell production. All right, let's move on to hack number five,
and that's a hydration hack. It's not just about water.
Everyone tells you to drink more water, but they're missing
half the story. And when a your mucous membranes, you're
(15:00):
bodies first line of defense. They dry out from heated
indoor air. But chugging plain water won't fix that. You
need electrolytes, a pinch of high quality se salt in
your water, maybe coconut water or bone broth. And here's
a game changer. Warm liquids are actually better than cold
ones in winter. They help to maintain your body's core
(15:23):
temperature and it keeps those nasal passages moist. And if
we're talking about those nasal passages, let's talk about clear
nasal spray. That's the xylotol based nasal spray that cleans
and moisturizes. Doctor Bob and I. We've been recommended to
patients and listeners for years and the feedback has been phenomenal.
So again, that's clear nasal spray. Let's move on to
(15:46):
hack number four, and that's your superfoods and what really works, folks.
I've got a stack of studies here and they all
lead to garlic as an immune superfood. Fresh gar like
it contains a compound that's been shown to reduce cold
symptoms by over sixty percent. And here's the catch again,
(16:08):
it's high quality garlic and another recommendation that we have
used for years is kyolic age garlic extract. The other
superfoods mushrooms, particularly shaitaki and rishi. These contain beta glue
cans that they literally train your immune system to recognize
(16:29):
and fight threats faster. And if you want another show favorite,
it's radiant greens that have an anoxidant blend that includes
spillina to arm your immune system. All great options here.
I hope you're taking notes. Let's get to hack number three,
and that is the vitamin D crisis. And this one's huge. People.
(16:52):
Vitamin D isn't actually a vitamin, it's a hormone. In winter,
when we're getting minimal sunics bosure, eighty percent of Americans
become deficient without even knowing it. And here's the scary part.
People with vitamin D levels below twenty twenty grand nanograms
per mil leader there they're twice as likely to develop
(17:15):
respiratory infections. But here's the empowering part. You can fix this.
Fatty fish like wild salmon, sardines, and mackerel. They're good
food options and supplementation might be necessary, but get tested first.
Your optimal level should be between forty and sixty nanograms
per mili leader not the twenty that the labs call normal.
(17:40):
So find a healthcare professional that knows the right way
to supplement vitamin D many times, you also need to
have a combination of vitamin D three in vitamin K two.
All right, let's get to hack number two, and that's
the stress immunity connection in your mind as your medicine. Now,
I want to go ahead and give you an email
(18:01):
question from Tom and Denver. He says, Hi, doctors, I
noticed I always get sick during busy periods at work.
Is this a coincidence? So Tom, I want to answer
this for everyone. And you've stumbled on something that's huge.
Chronic stress. It increases cortisol, which suppresses immune function by
up to fifty percent. So your observation, it's back by
(18:24):
solid science. And here's what happens. Stress hormones they literally
tell your immune system to take a break. It's your
body's way of prioritizing immediate survival over long time, long
term health. But we can hack the system. Just doing
five minutes of deep breathing daily can reduce cortisol by
(18:46):
twenty five percent, and meditation even just ten minutes a
boost antibody production. And here's something that's that's very simple,
just gratitude journal and for just two it's before betted
immunes immune. It helps to improve your immune function within
just a few short weeks. All right, let's get to
(19:08):
our hack number one, and that's a timing revolution, and
that this is matters more than what you think. So
this is our number one hack today, folks. It's not
just about what you do, it's when you do it.
Your immune system follows that circadian rhythm. It t cells,
or your immune cells. They're most active between ten pm
(19:30):
and two am, but that's only if you're sleeping. Your
your body temperature, it naturally drops in the evening when
you're That triggers your immune cell production. If you fight
that drop and you do something like a late night
Netflix binges, you're sabotaging your defenses. And meal timing matters too.
(19:53):
Eating late disrupts the guts microbiome. It's natural rhythm. Your
last meal should be about two to three hours before bedtime.
You can do a light snack, but again that meal
timing matters. And here's here's something that you should consider
as well. When we're talking about eating like a time
restricted eating, eating about within about a ten hour window
(20:18):
throughout the day. It boosts your immune system by up
to forty percent. It gives your digestive system time to repair,
in your immune system time to patrol your body. So
look into intermittent fasting and something that I do is
I usually eat between between ten am to six to
eight pm. It works very well keeps your immune system
(20:42):
in chat All right, So listeners, that's a lot of
information unpacked today, but here's your homework and I want

hacks and commit to them for just the next thirty days.

Don't hesitate. Your health journey matters to us and we're
here to help you every step of the way. And folks,
we're going to continue talking about how you can boost
your immune system this week with our health alternative. The
(23:30):
average American consumes over one hundred and fifty pounds of
refined sugar annually, while completely ignoring one of nature's most
powerful immune boosting sweeteners that's sitting right on the grocery
store shelf. In today's health alternative spotlight, we're talking about
organic honey, and not just any honey, but the real
(23:52):
deal that supports your immune system naturally, the golden elixir
that's in your pantry. It can work like an immune warrior,
fighting off infections while simultaneously nourishing your body with over
one hundred and eighty beneficial compounds. That's exactly what we're
talking about when we discuss organic honey as this week's
(24:12):
game changing health alternative. Let's cut through the marketing noise
and get to the real truth about organic honey. When
I say organic honey, I'm talking about that, you know,
to ignore that process heat traps syrup that's masquerading as
honey in those plastic, bare bottles. We're discussing raw, unfiltered,
(24:33):
certified organic honey that maintains its full spectrum of bioactive compounds.
Here's what makes that golden treasure so remarkable. Organic honey
contains a complex matrix of antioxidants, including polyphenyls, flavonoids, and
phenolinic acids that rival the antioxidant powers of many fruits
(24:54):
and vegetables. But here's what's else. Raw organic honey actively
simulates your immune system by boosting cytokin production, those specialized
proteins that coordinate your body's defense mechanisms, and the phytal
nutrients that are in organic honey. These are the same
plant compounds that protect the original flower from disease, and
(25:17):
it transfers those protective benefits directly onto you. Think of
it as borrowing nature's own immune defense for your personal use. Now,
let's talk about what's actually happening in your body when
you consume quality organic honey. And it's not just folk medicine.
We've got solid research that back the claims. First, organic
(25:38):
honey demonstrates proven antibacterial and anti viral properties. Studies show
that specific variants like eucalyptus and citrus honey can suppress
costs more effectively than many over the counter medications while
simultaneously helping your body combat that upper respiratory infections in
all natural But here's where organic honey really shines as
(26:03):
an immune powerhouse. It contains b propylists in traces of
local pollen. B propolis acts like nature's antibiotic, providing anti
fungal and antibacterial protection in those tiny amounts of local pollen.
They're like a gentle vaccine, gradually building your immunity to
environmental allergens when consumed regularly before allergy season. And your
(26:29):
gut health plays a critical role in immune function and function,
We're talking about eighty percent of your immune system residing
in your digestive track. Organic honey contains beneficial prebiotics that
feed the good bacteria in your intestines, creating a stronger
gut barrier in a more robust immune system. All right, now,
(26:49):
let's get practical. How do you actually harness these immune
boosting benefits without turning into a sugar consuming machine. I
suggest just starting with one to two ts spoons daily.
That's your therapeutic dose. I recommend taking it first thing
in the morning, either straight off the spoon or mixing
it with warm water, in fresh lemon or even in
(27:11):
an herbal tea. That creates an immediate alkalizing effect, and
it gives your immune system an early morning boost. And
for more acute immune support during cold and flu season,
increase to one teaspoon every four hours, but never exceeding
for tea spoons daily. Remember we're talking about using honey
(27:32):
as medicine, not as a free for all sweetener. Here's
a I want to give you a tip for my
clinical experience. Create immune boosting honey pearls by mixing organic
honey with fresh grated ginger in a pinch of tumeric.
You can roll those into small balls and store them
in the refrigerator and you can just take one or
give to a family member when you feel the first
(27:54):
tickle of a sore throat. And here's where I need
you to protect from the shocking truth about honey fraud.
Up to seventy five percent of honey sold in American
supermarkets has been ultra filtered, in adulterated, stripping away the
very compounds that make honey beneficial. So I want you
(28:15):
to look for these type of qualities in your honey.
It's certified organic, it's raw, it's unfiltered, and preferably local.
The label should clearly state raw and unfiltered. And if
it's crystal clear and it flows like syrup, go ahead
and walk away. Real honey crystallizes and it looks cloudy.
(28:35):
I suggest you shop at farmers' markets, health food stores
like natural grocers, or buy directly from local beekeepers. And yes,
authentic organic honey. It costs more. Expect to pay about
eight to fifteen dollars per pound, but again, you're investing
in medicine, not just a sweetener. And before you rush
(28:56):
out to stock up, let's address some safety considerations. Raw
hone honey is absolutely off limits for infants under twelve
twelve months old. They're digestive systems. They simply can't handle
the naturally occurring bacteria just yet. And if you have
severe pollen allergies, start with tiny amounts and monitor your
reaction carefully. While local honey it can help to build
(29:18):
allergy tolerance, it can occasionally trigger reactions in highly sensitive individuals,
and diabetics need to approach honey cautiously. While it's a
more complex sugar than refined options, it still can impact
blood glucose levels, So work with your healthcare provider to
determine if and how honey can fit into your regular
(29:39):
management plan. Folks, here's the bottom line. If you have
the power to upgrade your immune system naturally, why don't
we do it with this remarkable gift from nature? Instead
of reaching for synthetic immune boosters that are loaded with
questionable ingredients, you can harness thousands of years of traditional
wisdom backed by modern science. So start small, source wisely,
(30:00):
and pay attention to how your body responds. Within just
a few weeks of incorporating quality organic honey into your
daily routine, many of my patients report fewer cold symptoms,
improved energy in that wonderful feeling of knowing that they've
nourished their body with something pure and powerful. This is
about taking control of your health story one golden spoonful
(30:23):
of time. Your immune system deserves nothing less than nature's
finess protection. And remember, we're not just talking about sweetening
your tea. We're talking about sweetening your entire approach to
immune health naturally and effectively with organic honey, your health
alternative of the week.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
Welcome back Doctor Adam Brockman here and you're tuned into
the Doctor Bob Martin Show, America's number one health talk
radio program. And before we can jump in today's product recall,
I want to remind you that your wellness journey continues
even when we're off air. Our physician team is always
available at eight hundred six zero six eight eight two
two with your health questions. That's eight hundred six zero
(34:47):
six eight eight two to two. And you can also
access our entire podcast library anytime at doctor Bob dot com.
That's fine the word doctor D O C T O
R Bob dot com. All right, let's get in our
product recall, and as the holidays are coming up, it
might be something that you have in your refrigerator right now.
(35:09):
Did you know that something as simple as sprinkling shreaded
cheese on your pizza could potentially send you to the
emergency room. In this week's product recall, we're spotlighting a
staggering food crisis that's sweeping across thirty one states in
Puerto Rico, and it might be sitting at a refrigerator
right now. Over one point five million bags of shredded
(35:30):
cheese have been yanked from store shelves due to dangerous
metal fragmentation. And we're talking about Great Lakes Cheese company.
They issued a Class two recall after discovering that metal
pieces could be lurking in their products, turning your family's
favorite comfort food into a potentially weapon against your digestive system.
(35:53):
And here's what makes this recall troubling. These contaminated products
were distributed under more than twenty different brand names across
major retailers you trust every day. And we're talking about
brands like Great Value at Walmart, Good and Gather at Target,
Happy Farms at Aldi, and dozens more. It's not talking
(36:14):
about obscure product from a questionable manufacturer. This is mainstream
cheese that's sold at stores where millions of families shop weekly.
So the scope of this recall it reads like a
who's who of American grocery stores. The effective brands include
Always Save, Borden Brookshires, Cachet Valley Creamery, Chestnut Hill, Coburn Farms,
(36:42):
Food Club Food, Lion, Good and Gather, Great Lakes Cheese,
Great Value, Happy Farms by Aldi, Know and Love, Public, Snook,
Simple Go, and many many moors. But what's particularly shocking
is the variety of cheese products affected. This isn't limited
(37:03):
to one type. We're seeing contamination across mozzarella, Italian blends,
pizza blends, provolone, and even parmesan varieties all carry best
by dates between January and March twenty twenty six, meaning
those potentially dangerous products that were manufactured recently and they
may be sitting in your refrigerator so unknown to you,
(37:26):
their microscopic metal fragments that are mixed in with innocent
looking shreds of cheese. One bite, it could result in
cuts in your mouth, your throat, or your digestive track
and words. Yet, these metal fragments, they could damage your teeth,
they could cause choking or even require surgical removal from
your intestinal track. So the FDA it classifies these as
(37:49):
a Class two recall, meaning these products have potentially they
can potentially cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,
So don't let the temporary designation for you. We're talking
about some internal injuries that could require emergency medical intervention.
So this is what I want you to do. I
want you to locate and isolate, open your refrigerator and
(38:10):
remove any shredded cheese products with best buy dates between
January and March twenty twenty six. I want you to
check the label on these and before you dispose of anything,
take a photo of that label. That's your documentation in
case you do want to obtain a refund for this
and use safe disposable disposal for these products. Do not
(38:32):
attempt to pick through the cheese looking for metal fragments.
You can't see all the contamination with the naked eye,
so seal the entire package in a plastic bag and
dispose of it in your trash. So, if you want
to want to contact the retailer get a refund, all
you've got to do is make sure that you can
identify what products were involved with this recall, and if
(38:55):
anyone in your household has consumed these potentially contaminated cheese
products and experiences any of these symptoms, I want you
to seek medical care. So sharp or Protestant mouth, throat
or stomach pain difficulties, swallowing or unusual throat sensations, or
dental pain sensitivity, any sensation that of something that's stuck
(39:16):
in your throat or digestive track. I don't want you
to wait until these symptoms worse, and these metal fragments
can embed themselves in that digestive track. So again, the
recall was originated with Great Lakes Cheese Company and was
alerted to possible contamination in the raw materials back in
October of twenty twenty five. So this massive recall, it
(39:39):
represents more than just a manufacturing era. It's a reminder
that you must become the ultimate guardian of your family's health.
In our modern food system, products travel thousands of miles
and they pass through numerous hands before reaching your table.
Every step in that journey presents opportunities for contamination or
a decrease in quality. So your health it's too precious
(40:03):
to leave entirely in someone else's hands. By staying informed
about recalls, you can choose your suppliers carefully, and you
can trust your instincts about food quality. You're taking control
of the most fundamental aspects of your well being and
your family's well being. So, folks, I want you to remember,
every meal is an opportunity to nourish your body or
(40:26):
expose it to harm. Choose wisely, state diligent, and never
hesitate to prioritize safety over convenience. All right, folks, So
that's been your product recall the of the week, A
cheese recall here recently. All right, you're listening to the
Doctor Bob Martin Show. We'll be back with our final stretch.

(42:51):
Call eight hundred sixt zero six eight eight two to
two and ask for Nouvasel today. Welcome back. This is
(43:13):
doctor Adam Brockman for the Doctor Bob Martin Show and
it's time for our health mystery of the week. Did
you know that the same pill that can calm symptoms
at eight am, they may fizzle them at eight pm,
(43:36):
or vice versa. This is where compelling evidence meets scientific uncertainty.
Your body circadian clock is the conductor that can sharpen
or blunt a drugs effect without changing the dose. Here's
the clinical puzzle. It's the same medication, but different results
depending on when you take it. For some drugs, morning
(43:57):
versus bedtime isn't just a footnote the difference between clear
skies and morning fog, And here's your evidence. Like cholesterol,
the short acting statins, they tend to work best at
night because liver cholesterol making machinery at peaks during sleep,
but many clinicians still recommend the short acting for night
(44:17):
in the long acting they're more flexible the lone acting statins.
And for blood pressure, early studies hinted that bedtime dosing
they restored a healthy night time dipping in that blood pressure,
but a large modern trial found no meaningful difference in
hard events between morning and evening dosing, So it raises
a debate of better numbers versus better outcomes. If we're
(44:41):
looking at allergy medication, those antihistamines at night they can
line up with our sleep, but those non drowsy options
often perform best when taken before your personal symptoms peak,
like mourning for some pollens, and evening for others. And
if we're talking about people with arthritis, in taking pain medication,
(45:01):
they may often feel worse stiffness on waking. So if
you time that pain medication or insids and sids for
that peak effect while waking in the morning. So some
extended release anti inflammatory drugs are out there or steroid
formulations that they're designed for nighttime dosing to target those
morning flare ups. And this is what's happening. That circadian rhythm.
(45:24):
It coordinates hormones like cortisol rises near dawn, melatonin surges
a night. In those liver enzymes, the stomach acid, the
kidney filtration, they're like organ clocks. The rhythms they alter absorption,
the transporters in the metabolism. So this is what happens
in how fast a drug gets in, how long it lasts,
(45:45):
and what side effects show up. Things like shift work,
jet lag, light exposure, and even your meal timing can
scramble your internal clock in the medicine's performance. So why
two people differ on the same drug, It just depends
on how maybe their age, their sex, or if they're
(46:06):
a lark versus an al, they're chronotype, and even genetics.
So if we're looking at this. You just need to
stay consistent with a routine. If a plan is set
where you're getting where your performance on the drug is
fine if you're taking it at night or in the
morning and you don't need to switch anything. But if
it does seem like it doesn't work for you well
(46:28):
at different times, talk with your prescriber or your doctor.
They may be able to come up with a plan
that works better for you. So folks, again, stay curious.
Science evolves. Thank you so much for joining us this week.
This is doctor Adam Brockman, and you've been listening to
the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
