a timeshare? Well, no, it's your health. Without it, success
loses it shine, Relationships lose their rhythm. In life, itself
loses its spark. It's a truth too often realized only
(02:04):
after the fact, after that diagnosis, or after the fatigue,
or after the warning signs that have whispered before they
started to scream. So today we're gonna turn the tables
before that trouble Knox. We're gonna dive into questions you

It's about evidence based natural solutions that respect your body's intelligence.
Think of your body as a symphony, every system, every organ,

every cell that plays its part in perfect rhythm and
tell lifestyle stress or neglect throws one instrument out of tune,
and that's where we come in, helping you learn how
to fine tune those chords naturally so that your health
plays in perfect harmony. Again and speaking of harmony, Doctor Bob,
I've been thinking about something that we talk about in
(03:49):
conversation and also on the show, and that's that the
body never forgets what the mind ignores. And when people
they ignore their health, their their bodies, it starts to
keep score. We hear it, you know, through the voices
and the and they're fatigue, their digestive issues, they're the
mood swings, their blood pressure, it starts to creep up.
(04:12):
So if you're listening right now and thinking, yeah, well
that's me, today's your day to turn that around. And
no matter your age, your background, or even where you're
starting at, reclaiming your health begins with one small, intentional
act and that act could be as simple as making
that phone call. So again, let's keep that handy. It's
eight hundred and six zero six, eight eighty two to two.
(04:34):
That's the number to call with your health question. So
if you're curious about balancing hormones, taming sugar cravings, or
boosting brain focus, or even tackling that mystery chronic fatigue,
doctor Bob ni are we're ready to dive in. Today
We'll bring you the science, the stories, and the strategies
that you can use right now, and you just have
to bring the questions. If that's a fair deal, we'll
(04:55):
go ahead and get started. You don't have to settle
for fine, you're meant to fee fantastic, Doctor Bob Knight.
We're here to help you get there. So doctor Bob,
you're ready, let's go. Okay, all right, all right, we
have an email question. We're getting a little bit behind
on these email questions. I want to get to a
few of those today. It's from Dan out of Redondo Beach, California,
(05:17):
and Dan writes, on your radio show, could you state
your opinion on getting the PSA test for men? And
Doctor Bob, I'll let you go ahead and start.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
All right, Well, I've had the opportunity, after having treated
over thirty thousand patients in my practice career, to see
my fair share of men who were usually over the
age of forty and we're having trouble with frequency of
urination at night, poor urinary stream or function sexually, and
(05:51):
sometimes even some UTIs urinary track confessions. And these are
men who were suffering from classicus state problems. By the
time they got to me, doctor Brockman, they had already
been to their general practitioner general MD practitioner. The general
MD practitioner referred them to a urologist. They went to
(06:14):
the urologist and they had all kinds of different tests
that are often necessary, and the conclusion was, well, we
can put you on these drugs, or if it gets
bad enough and the drugs don't work down the road,
we can always use or perform a surgical procedure to
try to decrease the size of your prostates so that
(06:37):
you don't get up at night and frequently urinate and
have urinary village or frequency of your nation and all
the other things that go along with prostate related problems.
So of course they end up on our doorstep looking
for a safe and effective, science based alternative, and I'm
here to tell you that we were able to solve
most all of them. You're never going to get a
(07:00):
hundred percent when you walk up to the plate the
batter's box. There's always going to be a swing and
a miss. But at least those people who were thinking
outside the box and believing that there are other healing
arts and healing techniques aside from pharmaceutical drugs and surgery,
they would find their way to our office and offices
that offered care like we did, and they were smart
(07:22):
to do so because we were able to extricate them
from a very slippery slope associated with prostate procedures and
prostate related drugs. But look, if you're having trouble and
nothing conservative works, and you've been through the gauntlet of that,
there's always more liberal and radical things to do that
would be medical care. However, with the PSA, if you
(07:46):
look back in the scientific literature, even doctors that have
known about this for years have realized that if a
man is having trouble with his prostate gland and you
intervene on some level, whether it be surgical technique or drugs,
you may actually make them worse than they were before
they got to your office. In fact, many of the
(08:09):
medical research studies have shown that when a man at
a certain age bracket has prostate problems, it's often better
to leave them alone than to intervene, because if you
start doing cutting, slicing and dicing and doing procedures, you
may cause the problem to be permanently worse than it
was and never able to get better. So what we
(08:30):
did with these people is they come in and they have,
of course their PSA the prostate specific antigen blood test,
which is sort of the holy grail of laboratory findings
that doctors use along with symptomatology and examination of the prostate.
You do that directly in a man. They use these
to justify whatever techniques or treatments that they are going
(08:51):
to employ on behalf of the patient to try to
help them out. The problem with the PSA test, the
prostate specific anagen test is it's not that accurate. It
has a lot of false positives associated with it. In
other words, you can have a man come into an
office and have that test done and it could be
like wrong, it could be high, and it may be
(09:11):
a false positive, could be low, and you get different
numbers on it. So relying on that blood test singularly
is not a good idea, but it's justification for the
doctor to do something because that way they get paid
for it. The insurance companies, Oh, okay, you've done the
PSA test, it's high, you've done the examination. Okay, if
you think you're feeling it, even though you can only
(09:32):
feel a fourth of the prostate with a digital rectal
examin fourth of it, so you're not feeling the whole process,
you just sort of like in the dark a little bit,
and of course they have symptoms. So with a man
with a PSA, we never say to them, look, okay,
go get the procedure. Now, what we tell them to
do is go have a sonogram performed, which is a
(09:56):
ultrasound of the prostate to see the size of the state,
which normally is about the size of a small walnut. Normally,
once you had a baseline on the size of that
man's prostate with a sonogram, an actual picture of it,
just like a baby. The sonogram is just like a
(10:16):
pregnant mother having an ultrasound to see what's going on
with a baby, which we don't recommend either, but in
this case it's recommended for men because you know, it
gives you the size and then you can do something
and then go back doctor Brockman and check it and
see if it's gone down or it's the same, or
it went up, so you know what your course of
care is going to be. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. What
(10:39):
happens is these men get procedures and things done to
them that ought not happen.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
And so let's come let's come back to that after break,
Doctor Bob, All right, so we'll be back and more
on the PSA. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 5 (11:00):

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Because that's what you want. Welcome back. You're listening to
the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and
we're answering your questions today. If you've got questions about
(12:21):
natural health, nutrition, or anything in between, our toll free
hotline is open for you at eight hundred six zero
six eight eight two two. That's where you're going to
find doctor Bob and I and we're standing by to
help unlock your best self again. That's eight hundred six
zero six eight eight two two. All right. We were
answering Dan's question about a slightly elevated PSAU, and I
(12:43):
want to say it doesn't automatically mean cancer, as doctor
Bob was explaining. I also want to say, in fact,
lots of men have mild elevation simply from aging, or
it can be from vigorous activity, and it can even
be from sexual activity right before a test. On one hand,
some men with prostate cancer have normal PSA readings. So
(13:05):
that's why we need to see PSA as part of
a bigger picture and not the whole painting. So doctor Bob,
you're explaining before break the right approach, and I want
to want you to dig into that a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Which that I'm necessarily a right approach is the approach
that I took in helping the hundreds and hundreds of
men that came into our practice who had prostate problems
and they were fearing getting medical procedures done because they
had heard all the same nightmares we all hear, and
that is, if you take a man and you start
(13:39):
surgically messing with their prostate glan, you can have a
surgical mishap wherein you damage their nerves related to the prostate,
related to the bladder, and now that man has to
wear diapers the rest of his life because of a
medical procedure. And had that man known that that risk
was real and that risk could be happening, they may
(14:02):
have decided to go and look for all options and alternatives.
But what happens, doctor Brockwin, as you well know, is
men are called Look, this is your only option. This
is a last game in town. There's nothing else available
to you. It's either the drugs which haven't worked to
the DHT inhibitors, the dihydro testosterone inhibitors to block the
(14:24):
testosterone from irritating or causing hyperplasia of the prostate glant
or you've already been through there telling these men you've
already been through that didn't work, so now it's surgical time. Well,
that same man may not have had other options availed
to them because the urologists didn't know about it. For example,
(14:45):
back to the PSA for those who are just tuning
into the program, we're talking about a test, a blood
test that men get when they start having frequency of
urination at night, or their urinary stream is down, or
they have other problems related to your nation. They go
into their doctor, and the doctors quite rightly, we'll do
a DSA test, a prostate specific antigen test, and if
(15:09):
that's elevated, their general doctor may refer them to a urologist.
Gurologist looks at the test and he does what he
or she does, and then that doesn't work, or the
drugs quit working, or the patient has adverse side effects
to the drug, like they're impotent. Because when you give
drugs to block DHT, you also mess with a man's testosterone,
(15:33):
and suddenly his sex life circles the drain and he
would rather have urination all night long than have his
sex life go away. There's no option there. But I digress.
So the PSA shouldn't be the gold standard by itself. Yes,
you need to do a physical examination of the patient,
need to get symptoms. Do you do a prostate digital
(15:54):
prostate exam. You do the PSA, and you always, always,
before any other consideration, do a sonogram that's an ultrasound
of the prostate glen to get a visual picture on
the size of prostate gland. Once you have that as
a baseline, you go forth with telling that man, that
person who has the bloated, swollen, expanded prostate glen that
(16:18):
is not working well and choking down on the urinary
stream and that's why he's frequently up all night long
because he can't drain the urinary bladder correctly. You tell him, look,
you're sitting all day long. You shouldn't sit more than
twenty minutes at a time without getting up and moving around,
even if it's ten steps. Because they have a desk
job all day long, so they sit all day long. Next,
(16:40):
we tell that man, if you are consuming alcohol, dairy products,
smoking cigarettes, or using a lot of caffeine, you're on
the standard American diet, you will have prostate problems. It's
not a matter of if, but when, and it'll depend
on how bad it is. Depending on your consumption. So
they're not willing to give up the alcohol, the cheese,
(17:03):
the ice cream, the hogandas the dairy foods, which are
the worst defenders. They cause swelling in the prostate gland.
We know this for a fact because when you take
those men off of those products, you get them away
from it, Suddenly they're sleeping through the night like Maybes.
So we get them on that lifestyle tweak and then
we give them an exercise which everybody can do. Walking
(17:27):
Walking is the exercise for prostate problem. We have him
walk one to three miles a day, which is the
equivalent of a man massaging his prostate gland. There is,
by the way, a procedure you can actually do that
self prostate massage. All urologists know how to do it,
and they used to teach their patients how to do
it right in their offices, but they quit doing that
(17:48):
because there's no money in it, so they'd rather do
the surgical procedure and have a big check show up.
I digress again. So the man needs to be walking,
he needs to be taking fifty milligrams of zinc per
day because usually a man with the prostate problem has
a zinc deficiency. We also put them on herbal DHT
(18:09):
or herbal dihydro testosterone inhibitors, which are which mimic the
drug the pharmaceutical drugs that they give out cross scar
and all these different other drugs that have side effects
including impotence and lack of sexual desire and everything else.
We put them on beta sitis sterol, which is an
herbal supplement and get it in any health foo store.
(18:30):
Has no adverse side effects, works unbelievably well, and that
in combination with the zinc african pygeum, which is another herb.
Over time, that man's prostate will get better and his
frequency of er nation at night will go way down.
He may not even get up at all and problems solve.
(18:54):
But most men, as you well know, doctor Brockman, they think, well, okay,
my doctor is the end all of information in the
healthcare universe. So whatever my doctor says, I'm going to
go with it. Unfortunately, that is a very risky proposition
because as doctors, the more we know, the more we realize,
(19:15):
we don't know. If you're really going to be honest
as a doctor, you're going to say, look, I think
this is not a life threatening situation. To have a
man with a prostate prom especially if it's benign, and
most of them are, and even if it wasn't, the
course of care would be the same. Let's at least
try a three month to six month course of conservative
(19:35):
care before we start chopping and channeling and cutting, slicing
and dicing on this man, because if we do, we
mess him up, which many of them are, he'll be
in diapers the rest of his life and wished he'd
never walked into my office. But doctors will be doctors.
It's sort of like a carpenter. You put a a
hammer in a carpenter's hand and everything's a nail. That's
(19:56):
what they do. They're businessmen and women and so conservative
first in non life threatening situations, which is what we
do with men with bloated prostate glands. Give them three
to six months of lifestyle changes, supplementation, self prostate massage,
get them on the right diet, and the vast majority,
(20:16):
i'd say, like ninety five percent are going to get
well without any pharmaceutical drugs, without any medical intervention. That
other five percent, usually they're so chronic, they've been there
so long now they're recalcitrant, the prostate gland is hardened.
Everything's hardened, and they may require sort of a Hail Mary,
(20:37):
if you will, surgical procedure in order to stop them
from urinating at night. But there again, they risk being
in diapers to risk their life, so they have to
make that decision.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, and doctor Bob, you know this is a great question.
So I want men to always remember that overtesting can
lead to overtreatment. So balance awareness, like what you have
been discussing, that's where it needs to happen. We've sworn
from don't test at all to test everyone annually. But
(21:09):
the truth is, as anything, it usually lives in the middle.
The goal is that early detection, not an automatic intervention.
And what doctor Bob was saying, from a natural health standpoint,
prevention still wins each day. You maintain a diet that's
rich in vegetables like broccoli, lycopene rich tomatoes, you know,
(21:31):
and even green tea and reduced that dairy and process
meets So Dan the bottom line, I'm for p s
A testing with context in follow through. All right, we'll
be right back. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin show.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Everybody's got a fame, mistakes, but everybody's.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Got a choice to make. Everybody needs to leave the faith.
Many taking you us money you infom.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Welcome back, doctor Adam Brockman here, and you're tune into
the Doctor Bob Martin Show and we're talking about your
health today. And I want to remind you about our
listener resources, in one being our email health question form.
If you've got a health question or a topic that
you'd love Doctor Bob or I to explore, all you
gotta do is head over to doctor Bob dot com
and submit your question through are easy to use form
(22:43):
there doctor Bob dot com spelling have the word doctor
d oct o r bob dot com. You can also
give us a call at our toll free hotline which
is eight hundred six zero six eighty two two. Again,
that's eight hundred six zero six eight eight two to two.
All right, let's get back into some of your questions.
Going to get to a color question from Heidi in Bristol, Virginia.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Hi, this is Heidi from Bristol, Virginia, and I've been
using an app for grocery shopping, nutritional app called Yuka
y u Ka, and I just was curious of your
opinion of that app.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Thank you, hi, Heidi, and thank you for bringing that up,
because it's one of those those things that we're getting
to the modern crossroads in health. Are the new nutrition
by app tools actually helping us get healthier or they
just making us digitally dependent to know what's good good
for our plate or dinner. Now, for anyone that's unfamiliar,
(23:48):
Yuka spelled you. Why you Ka. It's a food scanning app.
You scan a barcode at the at the grocery store
and it instantly scores the product on a new traditional
quality and it also tell you about the additives, and
it flags things like excess sugar, salt, or processed ingredients.
(24:09):
So on paper, that's fantastic. It helps people make quick
visual decisions in the grocery aisle without needing a nutrition degree.
But here's what I remind my patients and listeners. Like algorithms,
they can't taste your food, or read your lab work
or know your individual needs. They use standardized databases and
(24:30):
ingredient lists, which means context matters. For instance, Yuca might
red flag an organic olive oil for its caloric account,
while it might give a high score to a synthetic
diet yogurt that's full of gums and fake sweeteners. So
if you see the problem here, it's sometimes that algorithm.
(24:52):
It knows numbers but not actual nutrition. And that said,
the app it does have some major upsides. Raises awareness,
it gets people looking at ingredients, and it empowers consumers,
especially those that are just starting their label reading journey.
And so that's that's huge progress. A decade ago, nobody
(25:13):
even cared what some of these actives might look like,
and now now people are scanning to avoid them. That's
what I call nutritional literacy in action. So if you
want my take, I say, use Yuka again it's spelled
why Uka as a compass, but not as the captain
of the ship. Let it guide you towards cleaner, less
(25:36):
processed food, but use your own critical thinking to interpret
the results. So if you trust real food over ratings
like fresh produce and wild fish, organic meats, lagoons, nuts,
you don't need to scan a banana to know what's
good for you. And I want you to also pay
attention and know how your body feels after eating, because
(26:00):
no app can track that better than you can. So Heidi,
keep up the curiosity that yuca is a great entry
tool for awareness. Just pair it with real life wisdom
like eat close to the to the source, and you know,
shop the perimeter of the store. And when in doubt,
simpler is always better because whether it's a barcode scan
(26:25):
or your gut instinct, the goal is the same knowing
what you're putting in your body in also owning those choices.
So that's that's the smart nutrition in the in the
tech age. All right, and uh, let's see doctor Bob.
Let's get let's get to another caller question. This one
(26:46):
is from Vaughn in Beaumont, Texas.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Vonn Beaumont, Texas. So you were speaking about the incident
of cancer after the stopping drugs intake. Well, that must
be a relative number rather than an absolute number. Look
(27:12):
at the number of people who are on long term drugs.
I mean that should raise the cancer rate very very
high in itself, and then when they could discontinue it,
that should be also a very very higher rate of
cancer based upon the numbers that you've mentioned. And anyway,
(27:38):
when they discontinue the drugs, then there is a continuance
of something that will cause the cancer that's glifosate. So
there's no mention about anything like that. I think somebody
is just trying to muddy the waters to get you
a look elsewhere instead of at other you know, things
(27:59):
like go slate anyway, Yeah, thank you, all.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Right, doctor Bob, you want to start this question off.
We only got just just a couple of minutes before break.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Yes, like you say, it is a big problem. It's
not anything new, been around for what seventy five years
or something. They've been using this herbicide to interfere with
the reproductive cycle of insects and things that would eat
the crops and farmers would have less yield and so
on and so forth. So yeah, we should be conscious
(28:37):
and conscientious about what we put on our food. There
are more toxins in the environment today than there ever
has been before, and the reason is because they can.
So that's the problem. We've allowed it to happen. USDA, FDA,
all the you know, the letters street letter or organizations
(28:57):
for letter organizations, they all are implicating in it. And
many of them have had lots of contributions and payoffs
from big Agra, meaning that if these big agricultural companies
can increase their profitability by virtue of using glyphasay. They're
going to do it if they're allowed to do it.
But anything that kills bugs, whether it be insects or
(29:19):
verbon or anything, can also impact human beings, which means
when we consume glyphasay, that's just one thing along with
all the thousands and thousands of other chemicals petrochemicals which
this is in the environment, it adds up. Our body
can only take so much of a toxic burden, be
where something finally breaks. So yes, I'm glad you brought
(29:41):
it up. I mean we can parse, you know, hairs
here between absolute and this, that and the other thing.
But the reality is being more conscious about our food.
Supplying what we're getting into is a really good thing,
and the best way to hedge that is to make
sure you know what you're putting in your mouth. Always.
When you can try to purchase and consume organic products today,
(30:05):
the constraints of that are, especially from the regulatory standpoint,
are good because in order for a company or a
product to say it's organic, they have to go through
some rigid standards. So if you're looking to eat as
purely as you can grow your own food, if you
can if you're a farmer and you have the ability
to do that. Second, go to a place like natural grocers,

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Welcome back, doctor Adam Brockman here as we return to
the Doctor Bob Martin Show, America's number one health talk
radio program. Before we jump back into your caller questions,
I want to remind you that your wellness journey continues
even when we're off air. First, our physician team is
always available at eight hundred six zero six eight eight
two to two. Again that's eight hundred six zero six
(34:34):
eight eight two two. And second, don't forget you can
access our entire podcast library anytime at doctor bob dot com.
Spalled out the word doctor doct o r bob dot com.
All right, doctor Bob. I want to get into a
fun email question that we got, and it was from
Marcia in Greenville, South Carolina, and she asked, Doctor Bob,
(34:56):
are you retiring?
Speaker 4 (35:00):
I am not here as often as I was in
the past, and that's true. And when you have somebody
who assuming as good a Jones, doctor Adam Riekman is,
you don't need to be. But I assure everyone this
thing that I am working behind the scenes you may
not hear me as often on the air, but I'm
working behind the scenes, coming on periodically. I'm out doing
(35:21):
field research, traveling to different areas of the world and
looking at cultures that live long and prosper those cultures,
because that's part of my expertise is longevity medicine, anti
aging medicine, as you know doctor Rock when I'm board
certified in anti aging medicine through the American Academy of
Anti Aging Medicine, and that's been ongoing for twenty five years.
(35:47):
But now I have the opportunity to travel the world
and find out why it is that, let's say these
blue zone areas of the world, why people live longer
than Americans do, How they how do they outlive Americans?
We are so poor on the list of longevity compared
to other industrialized countries or like at the bottom of
(36:10):
the barrel. Why is that? If we're a superpower, if
we are an affluent nation, why is it that we
can't keep people alive on average, males past the age
of maybe seventy six to seventy nine and women past
eighty maybe eighty one. Why can't we do that? And
it really boils down to education or the lack thereof,
(36:32):
and the fact that in America we don't have a
healthcare system. We have a sick care system predicated upon
helping people once they break and then trying to fix them,
rather than teaching them how to prevent mostly preventable diseases,
chronic diseases, mostly because there's more profitability in sick care
in disease than there is in prevention and health. And
(36:54):
that's why this show exists. That's why this show has
existed for thirty years because it is other shows like
it have been trying to fill that gap where consumers
are just wanting to know more about health and how
to take better care of themselves that they can't find
in their medical doctor's office because the doctor doesn't have
enough time in that sixth minute to seven eight minute visit.
(37:17):
And when they do go in there, what they do
is they get pharmaceuticals. That's it. And if that doesn't work,
they get more pharmaceuticals. So they're looking for something, they
find a radio show like this and others, and they
attached to it and they are taught what they need
to know so that they can be their own best doctors.
(37:38):
Most of the time, or their own best nutritionous most
of the time, or their best exercise physiologists most of
the time, whatever it may be. And so no, I'm
not retiring. I may not be as frequently on the microphone,
but that's why I have Doctor Brockman, and I gotta
tell you, doctor Brockman, I'm getting great feedback from our
(38:00):
audience members who send emails and send notes to us
telling us how you're doing a fantastic job. And inasmuch
as they would like to hear me more, they're not
unhappy with you. They're very happy with what you bring
to the table. But I hope that that person sending
in that message is reassured that I'm not going anywhere.
(38:22):
I'm still here fighting for you all, and I love
doing it. It's my calling in life, if you will,
and I don't think there's any higher calling than to
try to help other people with their health.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Well, doctor Bob, that's a great response to that. And again, Marsha,
thanks for your question, and I want to explain a
little little bit that the short answer, because the show
and also your health journey deserves what I'd like to
say two voices now men, doctor Bob, and I we
try to work in harmony. And so if we explain
(38:56):
it a little bit further, to doctor Bob Martin show
has always thrived on one goal, and that's empowering you
to become your own best doctor most of the time.
And now we're expanding that mission by teaming up. So
we got two slightly different backgrounds, but of course we
have your health in mind. So doctor Bob he brings
(39:18):
decades of authority in natural medicine, clinical nutrition, anti aging medicine,
and patient education. And in myself I have a nature
pathic in a chiropractic doctorates with a background in sports medicine,
movement science, and regenda medicine. So together we cover a
(39:39):
full playing field. And so if you think of it again,
I like to use the term of a symphony. One
of us lays down maybe that melody of holistic wisdom,
and the other brings in fresh harmonies from the latest
functional medicine research. So we got two voices and twice
the perspective, and so maybe it's a faster path to
(40:01):
practical solutions that you can use right away. So the
beauty of this is, also, like doctor Bob said, is
we can tackle more questions, bring broader insights and bridge
that gap between the timeless natural principles and then cutting
edge science. So when you hear both of us on
air and know this, it's this is still your show.
(40:22):
It's just amplified for reach in the in the relevance
of it. So yes, what I'd like to say is
two hosts and that we have one mission, and that
is to keep Americans healthy. So with that, Doctor Bob,
we gotta we got to take a quick break, and folks,
don't go anywhere you don't want to hear what we
got next. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
(40:57):

Speaker 4 (42:01):
Now.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
More than ever, it is important to have a healthy
immune system. Many health professionals agree that probiotics are a
leading natural therapy for boosting immune health. Why because seventy
percent of your body's immune cells reside in the GI tract.
By taking a superior probiotic daily, like doctor Oheres probiotics,
you can enhance your overall immune system and immune response.
(42:23):
The key to doctor ohero success is the five hundred
plus post biotic metabolites that are in each capsule. Post
Biotic metabolites are important to the regulation of most systems
in our body. For a short term immune boost, try
doctor Oheres Propolis plus. Merging nature and science, Doctor o'heres
Propolis plus combines Brazilian green propolis, vitamin E, astxanthon, and
(42:47):
tocotrianols for additional and powerful immune support. Be proactive about
your immune health. Ask your retailer today about doctor Oheres
Probiotics and doctor Oheres Propolis Plus today also available online.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
Welcome back, Doctor Adam Brockman here and you're tuned into
the Doctor Bob Martin Show. If you're loving our conversation today,
why not share the health wisdom. Tell a friend, a
family member, or a loved one to join us. Together
we can continue to build this community that's committed to
a better living, all right. And that's that's our hour
for today. And we've answered real questions from real people,
(43:33):
and we've given real answers about the everyday challenges that
shape your health. So we covered a lot of ground.
But if there's one takeaway I want you to remember,
it's this. Your body is designed to heal itself when
you give it the right conditions. All right, And Doctor Bob,
I want to get just a few final thoughts from
you before we hit the pavement.
Speaker 4 (43:57):
Diverse background and get off track. The good news is
we have a person that's sort of like helps to
monitor the show and helps to contribute to the show.
And that's doctor Brockman's wife, Megan, who happens to be
involved in the medical food chain as a registered nurse
nurse practitioner. So you know, if we ever get stumped
(44:21):
or there's something going on that kind of she needs
to bring us back to the reality. Megan's there for us.
And so there's a medical component of this show that
everybody can be assured of as well. And I just
wanted to throw that in on behalf of Megan because
I think she is a very knowledgeable lady.
Speaker 3 (44:38):
Yeah, I agree with that. I always you know, can't
do it without the background, and she's a great one
to have in our corner with that integrative medical approach. So, folks,
you know, if something you heard today struck a chord
or opened your eyes to a better way forward, you
don't have to wait. You can always reach out to us,
(44:58):
connect and become part of our growing community that believes
in taking control of your health. So you can pick
up the phone and join the conversation at eight hundred
six zero six eight a two two. Again, that's eight
hundred six zero six eight eight two to two. If
you've got a burning question, a success story, a simple
curiosity about how to build your best life. We want
to hear from you. And also, don't forget the conversation

(45:43):
And don't just visit it, book market, share it, and
make it part of your weekly wellness routine. And before
we close, I want to leave you with this. Every
day that you wake up is another opportunity to start fresh.
You can you can't necessarily rewrite yesterday, but you can
absolutely redirect. So instead of chasing perfection, chase progress, and
(46:04):
instead of waiting for motivation, create momentum, and those small
victories start to add up. And the power that made
the body heals the body. That's not just philosophy, it's physiology.
Your body is resilient, it's adaptable, and it's far more
capable than anything that you've ever been led to believe
the all it asks is that you listen to it,

All right, All right, Well, before we get started, let
me ask everyone this, what's the greatest wealth that you possess.
Is it a house? Is it a car? Is it
a timeshare? Well, no, it's your health. Without it, success
loses it shine, Relationships lose their rhythm. In life, itself
loses its spark. It's a truth too often realized only
(02:04):
after the fact, after that diagnosis, or after the fatigue,
or after the warning signs that have whispered before they
started to scream. So today we're gonna turn the tables
before that trouble Knox. We're gonna dive into questions you
have about anything from energy and immunity to hormones, to memory,
(02:24):
to metabolism, whatever's on your mind. The phone lines are open,
so pick up the phone and call eight hundred six
zero six eight eight two to two. That's eight hundred

because this hour isn't about gimmicks, fads, or celebrity detox tease.
It's about evidence based natural solutions that respect your body's intelligence.
Think of your body as a symphony, every system, every organ,
(03:27):
every cell that plays its part in perfect rhythm and
tell lifestyle stress or neglect throws one instrument out of tune,
and that's where we come in, helping you learn how
to fine tune those chords naturally so that your health
plays in perfect harmony. Again and speaking of harmony, Doctor Bob,
I've been thinking about something that we talk about in
(03:49):
conversation and also on the show, and that's that the
body never forgets what the mind ignores. And when people
they ignore their health, their their bodies, it starts to
keep score. We hear it, you know, through the voices
and the and they're fatigue, their digestive issues, they're the
mood swings, their blood pressure, it starts to creep up.
(04:12):
So if you're listening right now and thinking, yeah, well
that's me, today's your day to turn that around. And
no matter your age, your background, or even where you're
starting at, reclaiming your health begins with one small, intentional
act and that act could be as simple as making
that phone call. So again, let's keep that handy. It's
eight hundred and six zero six, eight eighty two to two.
(04:34):
That's the number to call with your health question. So
if you're curious about balancing hormones, taming sugar cravings, or
boosting brain focus, or even tackling that mystery chronic fatigue,
doctor Bob ni are we're ready to dive in. Today
We'll bring you the science, the stories, and the strategies
that you can use right now, and you just have
to bring the questions. If that's a fair deal, we'll
(04:55):
go ahead and get started. You don't have to settle
for fine, you're meant to fee fantastic, Doctor Bob Knight.
We're here to help you get there. So doctor Bob,
you're ready, let's go. Okay, all right, all right, we
have an email question. We're getting a little bit behind
on these email questions. I want to get to a
few of those today. It's from Dan out of Redondo Beach, California,
(05:17):
and Dan writes, on your radio show, could you state
your opinion on getting the PSA test for men? And
Doctor Bob, I'll let you go ahead and start.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
All right, Well, I've had the opportunity, after having treated
over thirty thousand patients in my practice career, to see
my fair share of men who were usually over the
age of forty and we're having trouble with frequency of
urination at night, poor urinary stream or function sexually, and
(05:51):
sometimes even some UTIs urinary track confessions. And these are
men who were suffering from classicus state problems. By the
time they got to me, doctor Brockman, they had already
been to their general practitioner general MD practitioner. The general
MD practitioner referred them to a urologist. They went to
(06:14):
the urologist and they had all kinds of different tests
that are often necessary, and the conclusion was, well, we
can put you on these drugs, or if it gets
bad enough and the drugs don't work down the road,
we can always use or perform a surgical procedure to
try to decrease the size of your prostates so that
(06:37):
you don't get up at night and frequently urinate and
have urinary village or frequency of your nation and all
the other things that go along with prostate related problems.
So of course they end up on our doorstep looking
for a safe and effective, science based alternative, and I'm
here to tell you that we were able to solve
most all of them. You're never going to get a
(07:00):
hundred percent when you walk up to the plate the
batter's box. There's always going to be a swing and
a miss. But at least those people who were thinking
outside the box and believing that there are other healing
arts and healing techniques aside from pharmaceutical drugs and surgery,
they would find their way to our office and offices
that offered care like we did, and they were smart
(07:22):
to do so because we were able to extricate them
from a very slippery slope associated with prostate procedures and
prostate related drugs. But look, if you're having trouble and
nothing conservative works, and you've been through the gauntlet of that,
there's always more liberal and radical things to do that
would be medical care. However, with the PSA, if you
(07:46):
look back in the scientific literature, even doctors that have
known about this for years have realized that if a
man is having trouble with his prostate gland and you
intervene on some level, whether it be surgical technique or drugs,
you may actually make them worse than they were before
they got to your office. In fact, many of the
(08:09):
medical research studies have shown that when a man at
a certain age bracket has prostate problems, it's often better
to leave them alone than to intervene, because if you
start doing cutting, slicing and dicing and doing procedures, you
may cause the problem to be permanently worse than it
was and never able to get better. So what we
(08:30):
did with these people is they come in and they have,
of course their PSA the prostate specific antigen blood test,
which is sort of the holy grail of laboratory findings
that doctors use along with symptomatology and examination of the prostate.
You do that directly in a man. They use these
to justify whatever techniques or treatments that they are going
(08:51):
to employ on behalf of the patient to try to
help them out. The problem with the PSA test, the
prostate specific anagen test is it's not that accurate. It
has a lot of false positives associated with it. In
other words, you can have a man come into an
office and have that test done and it could be
like wrong, it could be high, and it may be
(09:11):
a false positive, could be low, and you get different
numbers on it. So relying on that blood test singularly
is not a good idea, but it's justification for the
doctor to do something because that way they get paid
for it. The insurance companies, Oh, okay, you've done the
PSA test, it's high, you've done the examination. Okay, if
you think you're feeling it, even though you can only
(09:32):
feel a fourth of the prostate with a digital rectal
examin fourth of it, so you're not feeling the whole process,
you just sort of like in the dark a little bit,
and of course they have symptoms. So with a man
with a PSA, we never say to them, look, okay,
go get the procedure. Now, what we tell them to
do is go have a sonogram performed, which is a
(09:56):
ultrasound of the prostate to see the size of the state,
which normally is about the size of a small walnut. Normally,
once you had a baseline on the size of that
man's prostate with a sonogram, an actual picture of it,
just like a baby. The sonogram is just like a
(10:16):
pregnant mother having an ultrasound to see what's going on
with a baby, which we don't recommend either, but in
this case it's recommended for men because you know, it
gives you the size and then you can do something
and then go back doctor Brockman and check it and
see if it's gone down or it's the same, or
it went up, so you know what your course of
care is going to be. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. What
(10:39):
happens is these men get procedures and things done to
them that ought not happen.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
And so let's come let's come back to that after break,
Doctor Bob, All right, so we'll be back and more
on the PSA. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Cold and Flu season is here, and my listeners want
to know how to build an amazing immune system and

three oh nine.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Because that's what you want. Welcome back. You're listening to
the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and
we're answering your questions today. If you've got questions about
(12:21):
natural health, nutrition, or anything in between, our toll free
hotline is open for you at eight hundred six zero
six eight eight two two. That's where you're going to
find doctor Bob and I and we're standing by to
help unlock your best self again. That's eight hundred six
zero six eight eight two two. All right. We were
answering Dan's question about a slightly elevated PSAU, and I
(12:43):
want to say it doesn't automatically mean cancer, as doctor
Bob was explaining. I also want to say, in fact,
lots of men have mild elevation simply from aging, or
it can be from vigorous activity, and it can even
be from sexual activity right before a test. On one hand,
some men with prostate cancer have normal PSA readings. So
(13:05):
that's why we need to see PSA as part of
a bigger picture and not the whole painting. So doctor Bob,
you're explaining before break the right approach, and I want
to want you to dig into that a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Which that I'm necessarily a right approach is the approach
that I took in helping the hundreds and hundreds of
men that came into our practice who had prostate problems
and they were fearing getting medical procedures done because they
had heard all the same nightmares we all hear, and
that is, if you take a man and you start
(13:39):
surgically messing with their prostate glan, you can have a
surgical mishap wherein you damage their nerves related to the prostate,
related to the bladder, and now that man has to
wear diapers the rest of his life because of a
medical procedure. And had that man known that that risk
was real and that risk could be happening, they may
(14:02):
have decided to go and look for all options and alternatives.
But what happens, doctor Brockwin, as you well know, is
men are called Look, this is your only option. This
is a last game in town. There's nothing else available
to you. It's either the drugs which haven't worked to
the DHT inhibitors, the dihydro testosterone inhibitors to block the
(14:24):
testosterone from irritating or causing hyperplasia of the prostate glant
or you've already been through there telling these men you've
already been through that didn't work, so now it's surgical time. Well,
that same man may not have had other options availed
to them because the urologists didn't know about it. For example,
(14:45):
back to the PSA for those who are just tuning
into the program, we're talking about a test, a blood
test that men get when they start having frequency of
urination at night, or their urinary stream is down, or
they have other problems related to your nation. They go
into their doctor, and the doctors quite rightly, we'll do
a DSA test, a prostate specific antigen test, and if
(15:09):
that's elevated, their general doctor may refer them to a urologist.
Gurologist looks at the test and he does what he
or she does, and then that doesn't work, or the
drugs quit working, or the patient has adverse side effects
to the drug, like they're impotent. Because when you give
drugs to block DHT, you also mess with a man's testosterone,
(15:33):
and suddenly his sex life circles the drain and he
would rather have urination all night long than have his
sex life go away. There's no option there. But I digress.
So the PSA shouldn't be the gold standard by itself. Yes,
you need to do a physical examination of the patient,
need to get symptoms. Do you do a prostate digital
(15:54):
prostate exam. You do the PSA, and you always, always,
before any other consideration, do a sonogram that's an ultrasound
of the prostate glen to get a visual picture on
the size of prostate gland. Once you have that as
a baseline, you go forth with telling that man, that
person who has the bloated, swollen, expanded prostate glen that
(16:18):
is not working well and choking down on the urinary
stream and that's why he's frequently up all night long
because he can't drain the urinary bladder correctly. You tell him, look,
you're sitting all day long. You shouldn't sit more than
twenty minutes at a time without getting up and moving around,
even if it's ten steps. Because they have a desk
job all day long, so they sit all day long. Next,
(16:40):
we tell that man, if you are consuming alcohol, dairy products,
smoking cigarettes, or using a lot of caffeine, you're on
the standard American diet, you will have prostate problems. It's
not a matter of if, but when, and it'll depend
on how bad it is. Depending on your consumption. So
they're not willing to give up the alcohol, the cheese,
(17:03):
the ice cream, the hogandas the dairy foods, which are
the worst defenders. They cause swelling in the prostate gland.
We know this for a fact because when you take
those men off of those products, you get them away
from it, Suddenly they're sleeping through the night like Maybes.
So we get them on that lifestyle tweak and then
we give them an exercise which everybody can do. Walking
(17:27):
Walking is the exercise for prostate problem. We have him
walk one to three miles a day, which is the
equivalent of a man massaging his prostate gland. There is,
by the way, a procedure you can actually do that
self prostate massage. All urologists know how to do it,
and they used to teach their patients how to do
it right in their offices, but they quit doing that
(17:48):
because there's no money in it, so they'd rather do
the surgical procedure and have a big check show up.
I digress again. So the man needs to be walking,
he needs to be taking fifty milligrams of zinc per
day because usually a man with the prostate problem has
a zinc deficiency. We also put them on herbal DHT
(18:09):
or herbal dihydro testosterone inhibitors, which are which mimic the
drug the pharmaceutical drugs that they give out cross scar
and all these different other drugs that have side effects
including impotence and lack of sexual desire and everything else.
We put them on beta sitis sterol, which is an
herbal supplement and get it in any health foo store.
(18:30):
Has no adverse side effects, works unbelievably well, and that
in combination with the zinc african pygeum, which is another herb.
Over time, that man's prostate will get better and his
frequency of er nation at night will go way down.
He may not even get up at all and problems solve.
(18:54):
But most men, as you well know, doctor Brockman, they think, well, okay,
my doctor is the end all of information in the
healthcare universe. So whatever my doctor says, I'm going to
go with it. Unfortunately, that is a very risky proposition
because as doctors, the more we know, the more we realize,
(19:15):
we don't know. If you're really going to be honest
as a doctor, you're going to say, look, I think
this is not a life threatening situation. To have a
man with a prostate prom especially if it's benign, and
most of them are, and even if it wasn't, the
course of care would be the same. Let's at least
try a three month to six month course of conservative
(19:35):
care before we start chopping and channeling and cutting, slicing
and dicing on this man, because if we do, we
mess him up, which many of them are, he'll be
in diapers the rest of his life and wished he'd
never walked into my office. But doctors will be doctors.
It's sort of like a carpenter. You put a a
hammer in a carpenter's hand and everything's a nail. That's
(19:56):
what they do. They're businessmen and women and so conservative
first in non life threatening situations, which is what we
do with men with bloated prostate glands. Give them three
to six months of lifestyle changes, supplementation, self prostate massage,
get them on the right diet, and the vast majority,
(20:16):
i'd say, like ninety five percent are going to get
well without any pharmaceutical drugs, without any medical intervention. That
other five percent, usually they're so chronic, they've been there
so long now they're recalcitrant, the prostate gland is hardened.
Everything's hardened, and they may require sort of a Hail Mary,
(20:37):
if you will, surgical procedure in order to stop them
from urinating at night. But there again, they risk being
in diapers to risk their life, so they have to
make that decision.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, and doctor Bob, you know this is a great question.
So I want men to always remember that overtesting can
lead to overtreatment. So balance awareness, like what you have
been discussing, that's where it needs to happen. We've sworn
from don't test at all to test everyone annually. But
(21:09):
the truth is, as anything, it usually lives in the middle.
The goal is that early detection, not an automatic intervention.
And what doctor Bob was saying, from a natural health standpoint,
prevention still wins each day. You maintain a diet that's
rich in vegetables like broccoli, lycopene rich tomatoes, you know,
(21:31):
and even green tea and reduced that dairy and process
meets So Dan the bottom line, I'm for p s
A testing with context in follow through. All right, we'll
be right back. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin show.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Everybody's got a fame, mistakes, but everybody's.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Got a choice to make. Everybody needs to leave the faith.
Many taking you us money you infom.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Welcome back, doctor Adam Brockman here, and you're tune into
the Doctor Bob Martin Show and we're talking about your
health today. And I want to remind you about our
listener resources, in one being our email health question form.
If you've got a health question or a topic that
you'd love Doctor Bob or I to explore, all you
gotta do is head over to doctor Bob dot com
and submit your question through are easy to use form
(22:43):
there doctor Bob dot com spelling have the word doctor
d oct o r bob dot com. You can also
give us a call at our toll free hotline which
is eight hundred six zero six eighty two two. Again,
that's eight hundred six zero six eight eight two to two.
All right, let's get back into some of your questions.
Going to get to a color question from Heidi in Bristol, Virginia.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Hi, this is Heidi from Bristol, Virginia, and I've been
using an app for grocery shopping, nutritional app called Yuka
y u Ka, and I just was curious of your
opinion of that app.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Thank you, hi, Heidi, and thank you for bringing that up,
because it's one of those those things that we're getting
to the modern crossroads in health. Are the new nutrition
by app tools actually helping us get healthier or they
just making us digitally dependent to know what's good good
for our plate or dinner. Now, for anyone that's unfamiliar,
(23:48):
Yuka spelled you. Why you Ka. It's a food scanning app.
You scan a barcode at the at the grocery store
and it instantly scores the product on a new traditional
quality and it also tell you about the additives, and
it flags things like excess sugar, salt, or processed ingredients.
(24:09):
So on paper, that's fantastic. It helps people make quick
visual decisions in the grocery aisle without needing a nutrition degree.
But here's what I remind my patients and listeners. Like algorithms,
they can't taste your food, or read your lab work
or know your individual needs. They use standardized databases and
(24:30):
ingredient lists, which means context matters. For instance, Yuca might
red flag an organic olive oil for its caloric account,
while it might give a high score to a synthetic
diet yogurt that's full of gums and fake sweeteners. So
if you see the problem here, it's sometimes that algorithm.
(24:52):
It knows numbers but not actual nutrition. And that said,
the app it does have some major upsides. Raises awareness,
it gets people looking at ingredients, and it empowers consumers,
especially those that are just starting their label reading journey.
And so that's that's huge progress. A decade ago, nobody
(25:13):
even cared what some of these actives might look like,
and now now people are scanning to avoid them. That's
what I call nutritional literacy in action. So if you
want my take, I say, use Yuka again it's spelled
why Uka as a compass, but not as the captain
of the ship. Let it guide you towards cleaner, less
(25:36):
processed food, but use your own critical thinking to interpret
the results. So if you trust real food over ratings
like fresh produce and wild fish, organic meats, lagoons, nuts,
you don't need to scan a banana to know what's
good for you. And I want you to also pay
attention and know how your body feels after eating, because
(26:00):
no app can track that better than you can. So Heidi,
keep up the curiosity that yuca is a great entry
tool for awareness. Just pair it with real life wisdom
like eat close to the to the source, and you know,
shop the perimeter of the store. And when in doubt,
simpler is always better because whether it's a barcode scan
(26:25):
or your gut instinct, the goal is the same knowing
what you're putting in your body in also owning those choices.
So that's that's the smart nutrition in the in the
tech age. All right, and uh, let's see doctor Bob.
Let's get let's get to another caller question. This one
(26:46):
is from Vaughn in Beaumont, Texas.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Vonn Beaumont, Texas. So you were speaking about the incident
of cancer after the stopping drugs intake. Well, that must
be a relative number rather than an absolute number. Look
(27:12):
at the number of people who are on long term drugs.
I mean that should raise the cancer rate very very
high in itself, and then when they could discontinue it,
that should be also a very very higher rate of
cancer based upon the numbers that you've mentioned. And anyway,
(27:38):
when they discontinue the drugs, then there is a continuance
of something that will cause the cancer that's glifosate. So
there's no mention about anything like that. I think somebody
is just trying to muddy the waters to get you
a look elsewhere instead of at other you know, things
(27:59):
like go slate anyway, Yeah, thank you, all.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Right, doctor Bob, you want to start this question off.
We only got just just a couple of minutes before break.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Yes, like you say, it is a big problem. It's
not anything new, been around for what seventy five years
or something. They've been using this herbicide to interfere with
the reproductive cycle of insects and things that would eat
the crops and farmers would have less yield and so
on and so forth. So yeah, we should be conscious
(28:37):
and conscientious about what we put on our food. There
are more toxins in the environment today than there ever
has been before, and the reason is because they can.
So that's the problem. We've allowed it to happen. USDA, FDA,
all the you know, the letters street letter or organizations
(28:57):
for letter organizations, they all are implicating in it. And
many of them have had lots of contributions and payoffs
from big Agra, meaning that if these big agricultural companies
can increase their profitability by virtue of using glyphasay. They're
going to do it if they're allowed to do it.
But anything that kills bugs, whether it be insects or
(29:19):
verbon or anything, can also impact human beings, which means
when we consume glyphasay, that's just one thing along with
all the thousands and thousands of other chemicals petrochemicals which
this is in the environment, it adds up. Our body
can only take so much of a toxic burden, be
where something finally breaks. So yes, I'm glad you brought
(29:41):
it up. I mean we can parse, you know, hairs
here between absolute and this, that and the other thing.
But the reality is being more conscious about our food.
Supplying what we're getting into is a really good thing,
and the best way to hedge that is to make
sure you know what you're putting in your mouth. Always.
When you can try to purchase and consume organic products today,
(30:05):
the constraints of that are, especially from the regulatory standpoint,
are good because in order for a company or a
product to say it's organic, they have to go through
some rigid standards. So if you're looking to eat as
purely as you can grow your own food, if you
can if you're a farmer and you have the ability
to do that. Second, go to a place like natural grocers,
(30:26):
which are grocery stores that are one hundred percent organic,
which means every fruit, every vegetable is one hundred percent organic.
There's been no spray in the soil, nothing, and you
can be assured of excellent food going into your body
and the life has saved free, which you want to
try to get to as much as you can.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Welcome back, doctor Adam Brockman here as we return to
the Doctor Bob Martin Show, America's number one health talk
radio program. Before we jump back into your caller questions,
I want to remind you that your wellness journey continues
even when we're off air. First, our physician team is
always available at eight hundred six zero six eight eight
two to two. Again that's eight hundred six zero six
(34:34):
eight eight two two. And second, don't forget you can
access our entire podcast library anytime at doctor bob dot com.
Spalled out the word doctor doct o r bob dot com.
All right, doctor Bob. I want to get into a
fun email question that we got, and it was from
Marcia in Greenville, South Carolina, and she asked, Doctor Bob,
(34:56):
are you retiring?
Speaker 4 (35:00):
I am not here as often as I was in
the past, and that's true. And when you have somebody
who assuming as good a Jones, doctor Adam Riekman is,
you don't need to be. But I assure everyone this
thing that I am working behind the scenes you may
not hear me as often on the air, but I'm
working behind the scenes, coming on periodically. I'm out doing
(35:21):
field research, traveling to different areas of the world and
looking at cultures that live long and prosper those cultures,
because that's part of my expertise is longevity medicine, anti
aging medicine, as you know doctor Rock when I'm board
certified in anti aging medicine through the American Academy of
Anti Aging Medicine, and that's been ongoing for twenty five years.
(35:47):
But now I have the opportunity to travel the world
and find out why it is that, let's say these
blue zone areas of the world, why people live longer
than Americans do, How they how do they outlive Americans?
We are so poor on the list of longevity compared
to other industrialized countries or like at the bottom of
(36:10):
the barrel. Why is that? If we're a superpower, if
we are an affluent nation, why is it that we
can't keep people alive on average, males past the age
of maybe seventy six to seventy nine and women past
eighty maybe eighty one. Why can't we do that? And
it really boils down to education or the lack thereof,
(36:32):
and the fact that in America we don't have a
healthcare system. We have a sick care system predicated upon
helping people once they break and then trying to fix them,
rather than teaching them how to prevent mostly preventable diseases,
chronic diseases, mostly because there's more profitability in sick care
in disease than there is in prevention and health. And
(36:54):
that's why this show exists. That's why this show has
existed for thirty years because it is other shows like
it have been trying to fill that gap where consumers
are just wanting to know more about health and how
to take better care of themselves that they can't find
in their medical doctor's office because the doctor doesn't have
enough time in that sixth minute to seven eight minute visit.
(37:17):
And when they do go in there, what they do
is they get pharmaceuticals. That's it. And if that doesn't work,
they get more pharmaceuticals. So they're looking for something, they
find a radio show like this and others, and they
attached to it and they are taught what they need
to know so that they can be their own best doctors.
(37:38):
Most of the time, or their own best nutritionous most
of the time, or their best exercise physiologists most of
the time, whatever it may be. And so no, I'm
not retiring. I may not be as frequently on the microphone,
but that's why I have Doctor Brockman, and I gotta
tell you, doctor Brockman, I'm getting great feedback from our
(38:00):
audience members who send emails and send notes to us
telling us how you're doing a fantastic job. And inasmuch
as they would like to hear me more, they're not
unhappy with you. They're very happy with what you bring
to the table. But I hope that that person sending
in that message is reassured that I'm not going anywhere.
(38:22):
I'm still here fighting for you all, and I love
doing it. It's my calling in life, if you will,
and I don't think there's any higher calling than to
try to help other people with their health.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Well, doctor Bob, that's a great response to that. And again, Marsha,
thanks for your question, and I want to explain a
little little bit that the short answer, because the show
and also your health journey deserves what I'd like to
say two voices now men, doctor Bob, and I we
try to work in harmony. And so if we explain
(38:56):
it a little bit further, to doctor Bob Martin show
has always thrived on one goal, and that's empowering you
to become your own best doctor most of the time.
And now we're expanding that mission by teaming up. So
we got two slightly different backgrounds, but of course we
have your health in mind. So doctor Bob he brings
(39:18):
decades of authority in natural medicine, clinical nutrition, anti aging medicine,
and patient education. And in myself I have a nature
pathic in a chiropractic doctorates with a background in sports medicine,
movement science, and regenda medicine. So together we cover a
(39:39):
full playing field. And so if you think of it again,
I like to use the term of a symphony. One
of us lays down maybe that melody of holistic wisdom,
and the other brings in fresh harmonies from the latest
functional medicine research. So we got two voices and twice
the perspective, and so maybe it's a faster path to
(40:01):
practical solutions that you can use right away. So the
beauty of this is, also, like doctor Bob said, is
we can tackle more questions, bring broader insights and bridge
that gap between the timeless natural principles and then cutting
edge science. So when you hear both of us on
air and know this, it's this is still your show.
(40:22):
It's just amplified for reach in the in the relevance
of it. So yes, what I'd like to say is
two hosts and that we have one mission, and that
is to keep Americans healthy. So with that, Doctor Bob,
we gotta we got to take a quick break, and folks,
don't go anywhere you don't want to hear what we
got next. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
(40:57):

Speaker 2 (42:01):
More than ever, it is important to have a healthy
immune system. Many health professionals agree that probiotics are a
leading natural therapy for boosting immune health. Why because seventy
percent of your body's immune cells reside in the GI tract.
By taking a superior probiotic daily, like doctor Oheres probiotics,
you can enhance your overall immune system and immune response.
(42:23):

plus post biotic metabolites that are in each capsule. Post
Biotic metabolites are important to the regulation of most systems
in our body. For a short term immune boost, try
doctor Oheres Propolis plus. Merging nature and science, Doctor o'heres
Propolis plus combines Brazilian green propolis, vitamin E, astxanthon, and
(42:47):
tocotrianols for additional and powerful immune support. Be proactive about
your immune health. Ask your retailer today about doctor Oheres

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Welcome back, Doctor Adam Brockman here and you're tuned into
the Doctor Bob Martin Show. If you're loving our conversation today,
why not share the health wisdom. Tell a friend, a
family member, or a loved one to join us. Together
we can continue to build this community that's committed to
a better living, all right. And that's that's our hour
for today. And we've answered real questions from real people,
(43:33):
and we've given real answers about the everyday challenges that
shape your health. So we covered a lot of ground.
But if there's one takeaway I want you to remember,
it's this. Your body is designed to heal itself when
you give it the right conditions. All right, And Doctor Bob,
I want to get just a few final thoughts from
you before we hit the pavement.
Speaker 4 (43:57):
Diverse background and get off track. The good news is
we have a person that's sort of like helps to
monitor the show and helps to contribute to the show.
And that's doctor Brockman's wife, Megan, who happens to be
involved in the medical food chain as a registered nurse
nurse practitioner. So you know, if we ever get stumped
(44:21):
or there's something going on that kind of she needs
to bring us back to the reality. Megan's there for us.
And so there's a medical component of this show that
everybody can be assured of as well. And I just
wanted to throw that in on behalf of Megan because
I think she is a very knowledgeable lady.
Speaker 3 (44:38):
Yeah, I agree with that. I always you know, can't
do it without the background, and she's a great one
to have in our corner with that integrative medical approach. So, folks,
you know, if something you heard today struck a chord
or opened your eyes to a better way forward, you
don't have to wait. You can always reach out to us,
(44:58):
connect and become part of our growing community that believes

make it part of your weekly wellness routine. And before
we close, I want to leave you with this. Every
day that you wake up is another opportunity to start fresh.
You can you can't necessarily rewrite yesterday, but you can
absolutely redirect. So instead of chasing perfection, chase progress, and
(46:04):
instead of waiting for motivation, create momentum, and those small
victories start to add up. And the power that made
the body heals the body. That's not just philosophy, it's physiology.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
