A landmark 21-year NIH study just confirmed what integrative medicine has argued for decades —
lifestyle beats drugs for preventing chronic disease. Dr. Adam Brockman breaks down the week's top health headlines, delivers a must-hear message for Men's Health Month, answers a listener who's
exhausted, foggy, and gaining weight despite "normal" bloodwork, and closes with the most counterintuitive medical reveal of the year: why daily cannabis users are flooding emergency rooms with uncontrollable vomiting — and why the treatment that actually works is a hot shower and capsaicin cream. All of that, plus the gut-healing supplement your doctor has probably never mentioned. Find show notes and research references at healthtalkamerica.com.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Welcome to Health Talk America presents the Doctor Bob Martin
Show of Doctor Adam Brockman, and this right here is
America's most dynamic conversation in health and medicine, reaching more
and more listeners every week across this great nation, in
across the world. This is the program where science meets
(01:20):
real life, and where the latest research collides with practical wisdom,
and where we refuse to let the health headlines pass
without giving them the honest, informed commentary that you deserve.
Here is what I want you to understand about the show.
We're not one dimensional. We do not live exclusively in
(01:44):
any single lane of medicine. We explore conventional research, integrative approaches,
nutritional science, emerging therapies, public health policy, and the frontier
ideas that are quietly re shaping what it means to
be healthy. And if this affects your body, your mind,
(02:07):
your longevity, or the health of your family, it belongs
on this program. And folks, the lines are open for
your commentary, your health questions, and that is eight hundred
six zero six eight a two two.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Again, that's eight.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Hundred six zero six eight eight two two. I want
you to call me with your questions. Your stories are
a headline that you want me to tackle and for
every show, reference every study, link and resource that we're
covering a day. I want you to head over to
doctor Bob dot com. That's spelling out the word doctor
doc t O R Bob dot com or Healthtalkamerica dot com.
(02:49):
It's free there, it's thorough, and there's something for everyone there.
You can go to it anytime. Now, let's get into
this week's health headlines, where every single week, the journals,
the studies, the policy rooms, and the clinical trenches they're
they're producing ideas that have the power to change your
(03:10):
life if someone takes the time to translate them into
language that actually means something to you. And that is
exactly what we're doing here. Those are this week's headlines.
They span the full spectrum, from a twenty one year
clinical bombshell published in the Journal of American Medicine, to
an amino acid that your body uses to build dopamine
(03:32):
and thyroid hormones, to a national trust crisis that is
fundamentally reshaping how Americans relate to the healthcare system. Every
story connects, each one matters, and I promise you by
the time we go to break you will think a
little bit differently about your health. So with that, this
is this week's health headlines. First up, we have a
(04:01):
twenty one year NIH study that was just confirmed that
lifestyle intervention beats medication for preventing chronic disease and This
is the headline I have been waiting years to read
in a major medical journal, and this week it has
finally arrived. A landmark twenty one year clinical trial that
(04:21):
was published in the Journal of American Medicine that it
followed more than eleven hundred adults diagnosed with pre diabetes.
Researchers compared three groups, those on a structured lifestyle intervention,
those on met Foreman, and those on a placebo. In
the result, the lifestyle group reduced their risk of developing
(04:42):
multiple chronic conditions by twenty one to twenty five percent.
The met Foreman group showed no statistically significant difference from
the placebo and two decades of data. It's peer reviewed,
and it's published in the gold standard of medical journals.
In the intervention that one was not a drug. It
(05:04):
was diet, movement and consistency. And I want to be
clear about what the study represents. It's not fringe, it's
not alternative medicine. It is mainstream clinical science that's delivering
a verdict that integrative health practitioners have been pointing towards
for generations. When you give the human body what it
(05:24):
actually needs, it does not merely survive. It thrives the
question every one of our listeners should now be asking
their physician, is this before we talk about medication? What
is my lifestyle intervention plan?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Now?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Okay, next up, we got a study that shows that
the supplement revolution is real. We're talking about sixty percent
of Americans are now supplementing and the data is fascinating.
So this was a sweeping twenty five year analysis drowing
over sixty three thousand participants from the National Health in
New Nutritional Examination Survey. It was published this week in
(06:04):
JAMMA Network Open, and it confirms that dietary supplementation is
being used by more and more Americans all the time.
Is climbed from fifty one percent to sixty percent over
the past two decades. So six and ten Americans are
now proactively supplementing their nutrition. And so it's not a fad,
it's a movement. But here is the detail that tells
(06:28):
the real story that traditional multi vitamin supplements are declining
in its placed. Americans are turning to more targeted and
condition specific supplements. We're talking vitamin D and zinc, collagen,
and probiotics and these are all surging. So people are
no longer satisfied with this broad spectrum guests, they want
(06:50):
to know what their body actually needs and what it's
division in, and they want solutions that are precise in
evidence based assults driven. So this is one of the
most meaningful shifts in consumer health behavior that we have
seen in a generation. The gap between conventional medicine and
(07:13):
informed self care is closing, and supplementation is one of
those bridges. The challenge, as always is quality. Not all
supplements are formulated equally in the space between a clinical
result in a marketing claim can be enormous, So we'll
keep breaking that down for you here on the show. Okay,
(07:35):
and we all got new research links that amino acid
tirazine and it's linked to healthier aging, and it also
might already be in your kitchen. So this was published
this week in the peer journal Aging US and it's
showing that researchers have identified a compelling association between elevated
(07:58):
blood levels of tirasine and that's a naturally occurring amino
acid in measurably healthy aging biomarkers. So individuals with high
circulating tyrazine appear to be aging more favorably at the
cellular level. Now, why does this matter beyond the science
because tyrazine, it's not something that's exotic. It is a
(08:20):
precursor to dopamine and to the thyroid hormones T three
and T four, and also to adrenaline. So it plays
this direct role in mental sharpness, metabolic function, stress hormone regulation,
and also mood stability. So you'll find it in eggs,
dairy lean poultry, fish, in pumpkin seeds. So these are
(08:45):
foods that your grandmother has been telling you to eat.
And this research is part of a larger emerging narrative
in medicine, one that connects nutritional biochemistry to longevity and
in ways that are only now being quantified. That the
longevity industry has spent billions chasing these synthetic interventions, and
(09:08):
so this data keeps pointing back to the foundational nutrition.
I find this both humbling and incredibly empowering because it
means that the tools for a longer, sharper life are
far more accessible than a lot of the market wants
you to believe. And finally, today we got public trust
(09:29):
in federal health guidelines has dropped sharply, and seven and
ten Americans want a new model. So the latest American
Health Index delivers a number that should stop all of
us in our tracks, and that's public trust in federal
childhood health guidelines has fallen from seventy one percent to
(09:49):
sixty percent in a single year. So that is eleven
point drop in just twelve months. So simultaneously, seven and
ten Americans, cutting across every political affiliation say that they
want the government to invest more in lowering health care costs.
So this is about accountability. The American public is not
turning away from health information. They want the transparency and
(10:12):
how guidelines are developed, who funds the research behind them.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
So again, I.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Believe this movement, as uncomfortable as it is for established medicine,
is one that is needed and it's a great opportunity
here that our health administration is asking for. So that's
your headlines for the weak stories that are reshaping medicine, nutrition,
and public trust, and also the way that we think
about aging and prevention in this country. All right, folks,
(10:38):
we're just getting started. When we come back, we'll get
into more health news. And this is Health Talk America
presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Stay with me. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Doctor Bob margin with an important message from doctor Earle Mendel, PhD,
pharmacist and author.
Speaker 4 (11:07):

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Welcome back to Health Talk America presents the Doctor Bob
Bardin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and if you're just
joining us, you've tuned in to the right place. At
the right time. This is where informed health conversations happen.
Where we take the research that matters most, the ideas
that are reshaping medicine, and the health challenges that touch
(12:41):
real families, and we bring it all to you straight,
unfiltered and ready to use. And whether you caught us
coming out of the break or you've been with us
from the open, thank you for being here. This program
runs on your engagement, curiosity, and your willingness to ask
(13:03):
better questions about your health. This is what drives everything
we do. And folks, the lines are open at eight
hundred six zero six eight A two two. It's eight
hundred six zero six eight A two to two. I
want you to call in. I want you to share
what's on your mind, and let's talk. Every show reference
(13:23):
and every resource we cover is also available at doctor
Bob dot com. That's found out the word doctor doctrbob
dot com and also at Healthtalkamerica dot com. It's free
and it's always current. I want you to bookmarket if
you haven't already. But before we get back in today's conversation,
I want to take a moment because something is coming
(13:45):
to this program that I am genuinely excited about, and
I think you will be two. We are making some
significant changes to the show over the coming weeks and months,
changes that are going to elevate the depth of what
we cover, the voices and the guests that we bring
to the table, and the way we serve this audience.
(14:07):
This program has always been committed to being at the
leading edge of health in medicine, and what's coming is
a natural extension of that commitment and also some added benefits.
We are not going to give everything away right now.
Part of what makes this a great reveal is the anticipation,
(14:31):
So I want you to stay tuned over the next
few weeks. I want you to pay attention, and if
you have not already subscribed, shared, or told someone about
this program, now is a great time because what's coming
is worth showing up for.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Details will unfold.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Right here on air and also at Healthtalkamerica dot com,
and I want you to miss it. In the meantime,
I want to encourage you to keep doing exactly what
you're doing. I want you to keep your questions coming in.
Every caller who gets on this line moves the conversation forward,
(15:11):
not just for themselves, but for every listener who has
been sitting on the same question and needed someone to
ask it first. That is the power of this community.
We grow together and keep showing up for your health,
not just when something goes wrong, not just when a
(15:32):
diagnosis forces your hand, show up on the ordinary days.
The Tuesday morning when you don't feel like cooking a
real meal, or the Thursday night when you skip the
walk because you're feeling tired. Those are the moments that
define your health far more than any single medical appointment
(15:53):
I ever do. Consistency is always that intervention. Again, call
us an eight hundred zero six eight eighty two to two.
Let's talk about what consistency looks like in your life
right now? Okay, next up, I do want to make
a spotlight for the fellas and sometimes the question is
just making that appointment and is necessary. And it's Men's
(16:18):
Health Month, so I want to focus on why men
are still the hardest patients to reach. So this year's
theme for Men's Health Month is partners in Care, and
it's a recognition of something that the clinical community has
known for decades and struggle to act on, and that
is that men do not take care of themselves the
(16:41):
way that they should, and the people who love them
often bear the consequences. So let's start with the data,
because the numbers tell a story that is hard to
look away from. Men in the US and the United
States live on average five to six years less than women.
(17:01):
That's not months, that's years, and the gap is not closing.
In fact, for certain demographics it is actually widening. Men
are nearly twenty five percent less likely than women to
have visited a physician in the past year. Men account
for a disproportionate share of late stage cancer diagnosis or
(17:27):
advanced cardiovascular presentations and also unmanaged metabolic diseases, and these
are conditions where early detection and intervention change everything. Let's
take prostate cancer. We know prostate cancer is one of
the most treatable cancers when caught early. Yet men delay
the conversation, they postpone the screening, and they rationalize away
(17:52):
the appointment until the window narrows. In cardiovascular disease, it
remains the leading cause of death in American men, and
the majority of these hard texts that kill men under
the age of sixty five. There's years of warning signs
that are being ignored or minimized or attributed to stress
or aging, and this is not biological inevitability. It is
(18:16):
a behavioral pattern, and the behavioral pattern needs to change.
The reasons men are avoiding care, they're well documented. Some
are cultural, that persistent mythology that needing medical attention signals weakness.
And some of the reasons are logistical men consistently prioritize
(18:39):
work schedules over personal health apployments. And some reasons are
emotional the discomfort of confronting a body that may not
be performing the way it once did. All of these
things are understandable. None of them are acceptable trade offs
for your life. So what the partner's theme gets right
(18:59):
is this your health questions, your health decisions do not
belong to you alone. When a man refuses to get screened,
refuses to discuss these symptoms, or refuse us to follow
up on an abnormal lab result, the decision ripples outward.
It reaches your spouse, it reaches children, it reaches everyone
(19:20):
who is counting on you to be present and functional.
For a law in haul healthcare, at its core, it's
a relational in a relationship back. We can take care
of ourselves because we belong to the people that need
us as well. And to the partners. The spouse is
the adult children listening right now. You're not overstepping by
(19:44):
making that appointment, by asking the question, by sitting in
the room with them, you are doing exactly what this
theme asks of you. Partners in care means showing up
together for that conversation, for the screening, for the fire through.
So I want to take a second and speak directly
to the men in the audience right now for a moment.
(20:06):
Getting a checkup is not a concession, it's not a strategy.
You know, modern integrative medicine offers tools that were not
available a generation ago, And we're talking about testosterone optimization
and metabolic panel analysis, a gut microbiome assessment, sleep quality evaluation,
(20:29):
cardiovascular risk profiling that goes well beyond that basic cholesterol number.
The men who are engaging with these tools are performing,
they're thinking, and they're living at a level that should
be the standard, not the exception. So the strongest thing
you can do this month is not at the gym.
(20:50):
It's in the doctor's office looking at a lab panel
that tells you the truth about your health before your
body has to say it. Louder book that a point,
get the blood work, ask the hard questions. If your
family is counting on that version of you that is
informed and proactive in present for the long game. Okay,
(21:13):
we got to take a short break, and when we
come back, we're going to keep this moving. More of
what's reshaping health and medicine, more of your questions, and
more of the conversation that is making a difference in
homes across the country. The number to join the conversation
is eight hundred six zero six eight A two two.
Get us eight hundred and six zero six eight A two
to two and everything from today's program, the resources, the references,
(21:36):
the show notes is waiting for you at doctor Bob
dot com or Healthtalkamerica dot com. This is Health Talk
America presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I want you
to keep showing up and we'll be right back.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
Everybody's got fa mistakes, but everybody's got a choice to make.
Everybody needs to leave the faith. Monny's taking you, use money,
you info.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Welcome back to help Talk America presents the Doctor Bob
Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman. You are locked into
the program that keeps you thinking, keeps you questioning, and
keeps you one step ahead when it comes to your health.
And whether this is your first time tuning in or
you've been part of this conversation for years, thank you
(22:49):
for being here. And folks, the phone lines they're open
and the number to call is eight hundred six zero
six eight eight two to two. That's eight hundred six
zero six eight A two to two. I want you
to call in with your questions, your stories, and the
health topics that you want us to tackle. And as always,
every show reference and research link is available to you
(23:12):
at doctor Bob dot com spelled out the word doctor
dooctrbob dot com or Healthtalkamerica dot com. And coming up
a little later in this segment is this week's health
alternative of the week and it's one of the most
underrated gut healing tools in integrated medicine. So I want
(23:33):
to stay with me, But let's talk about something that
does not get nearly the attention it deserves, and that's
your oral health. We spend a tremendous amount of time
on this program discussing cardiovascular health, metabolic function, and chronic
disease prevention. But here is the fact that too many
(23:53):
people overlook, and that is that your mouth is not
separate from your systemic health. It is directly connected to it.
The bacteria that's living in your oral cavity have a
documented pathway to your bloodstream, and we're talking about your heart,
your immune system, and your inflammatory response. So oral health
is a whole body health and it is a full stop.
(24:18):
So let's make a smart choice. I want you to
meet the Spry Dental Defense System, a product line that
is as effective as it is natural. And the star
ingredient is xylotol.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
And this is a.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Plant based sweetener and it doesn't just taste great, It
fights cavities, it reduces plaque, and it keeps your breath fresh.
And Spry has harnessed its power across a complete line
of products, and we're talking toothpaste, mouth washed gum, and
mince and it's in flavors that you will actually look
forward to using every single day. And here's the science.
(24:55):
Xylotol works by inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mu hands
and that's a bacteria most responsible for tooth decay and
plaque formation. Unlike sugar, which feeds harmful bacterium fuels the
acid cycle that erodes your enamel. Xylotol starves the bad bacteria.
It also stimulates natural saliva production, which helps to neutralize
(25:20):
acids and supports the enamel. No harsh chemicals, no synthetic additives,
just a clinically supported, plant based approach to oral defense.
So if you want to know my routine, I brushed
with Spry toothpaste, I rinsed with their alcohol free mouthwashed,
and I chew their gum after meals. It's an easy
(25:40):
swap for real measurable results, and your dentist will notice
the difference. And you'll find Spry at cvs target sprouts
and natural grosers. And if you want to learn more
about the science behind the smile, visit Clear dot com.
That's spelled x l e aar dot com. They're also
(26:01):
the makers of Clear nasal sprays. So, folks, your smile
and your whole body health deserved this smart choice. It's
time to take control of your oral health with the
Spray dental defense system. Okay, let's get to our health
alternative of the week. If you have been part of
(26:34):
this audience long enough, you know that gut health is
not some niche topic. It is the central pillar of
your entire wellness picture. The research connecting gut barrier integrity
to immune function, mental health, metabolic performance, and chronic inflammatory
disease has become some of the most compelling science in
medicine over the last decade. In this week's health alternative
(26:57):
of the Week speaks directly to that to meet zinc
carnisine and this is not regular zinc. When zinc is
chemically bound to the amino acid compound L carnisine, something
remarkable happens, and the resulting molecule adheres to the gut
lining far more effectively and far longer than standard zinc supplementation.
(27:22):
It does not simply transit through the digestive track. It
clings to the mucosal wall. It works where the damage
is and stays long enough to make that measurable difference.
And here's why that matters. The gut lining, that mucosal
barrier separating what is inside your intestinal track from what
(27:44):
enters your bloodstream is only one cell thick. It's one
cell When that barrier is compromised by chronic stress or
poor diet, are long term in said used or alcohol
or dysbiosis. You know that partially digested food particles, the
bacterial byproducts in those inflammatory compounds can pass directly into
(28:09):
your circulatory system, and that clinical term for this is
intestinal hyper permeability. You may know it as leaky gut.
The downstream consequences and again we're talking about systemic inflammation,
autoimmune flare ups, our food sensitivities, and we're talking brain fog,
(28:29):
skin conditions and fatigue are far reaching and frequently misattributed
to other causes. And zinc carnisine has it has been
used clinically in Japan as an approved anti ulcer treatment
for decades. The Japanese medical community recognizes early what Western
(28:50):
integrated medicine is now validating through research, and that is
that this compound, zink carnisine, has unique ability to repair
the gastric and intensity mucosal lining and it reduces that
oxidative damage to the gut tissue and it lowers the
inflammatory cided connectivity that drives that chronic gut inflammation. So,
(29:12):
for our audience, anyone managing irritable bow symptoms or food sensitivities,
autoimmune conditions, or recovering from long term use of medications
known to compromise that gut integrity, zinc carnisine is worth
a direct conversation with your integrative physician. The dose most
(29:34):
studied in the clinical research runs between seventy five to
one hundred and fifty milligrams of the zinc carnisine complex
and that's daily and it's taken typically taken with meals.
So look for formulations using the patent pep zen that's
pep zn gi form. That is the version that's backed
(29:57):
by the most clinical evidence. So this is usually only
one that flies under that radar, but it's not going
to stay there for long. Gut health is where some
of the most exciting in cutting edge medicine is happening
right now. In zinc carnizine belongs in that conversation. Zinc
carnisin your health alternative of the week. Okay, folks, we've
(30:19):
got to take a short break, but we come back.
We're going to keep this conversation moving more on today's topics,
more of your calls and questions, and more of this
health dialogue that is reaching more and more people every week.

Welcome back to health Talk America Presents the Doctor Bob
Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman. I'm glad you're staying
with us today, joining us today, and right now we're
going to open up the email bag, and folks, I
want you to keep those questions coming. You can email
us through doctor Bob dot com that's gone out the
word doctor doctor Bob dot com or Healthtalkamerica dot com,
(33:48):
and also by picking up the phone and call us
at eight hundred six zero six eight A two two.
That's eight hundred six zero six eight A two two.
And every question matters yours, maybe the one that changes
someone else's life today. So this email question it comes
from Sandra in Tucson, Arizona. And Sandra, thanks for writing in,
(34:12):
because I promise you that tens of thousands of people
listening right now have asked themselves this exact same question
and never knew exactly maybe who to ask.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
So here is.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
What Sandra wrote, Doctor Brockman. I am fifty two years
old and I have been completely exhausted for nearly two years.
I have had blood work done and my doctor tells
me everything looks normal, but I do not feel normal.
My energy is low from the moment I wake up,
my thinking feels foggy and slow. I've gained weight around
(34:47):
my middle even though my diet has not changed, and
I feel like I am aging faster than I should.
My doctor told me it is probably just stress and aging.
I feel like I am missing something. Is there something
more I should be asking for? Again, this is Sandra
and Tucson, Arizona. So Sandra, I want you to hear
(35:09):
me clearly on this. What you're describing as not stressed
and is not simply aging. It is a pattern, and
it's a very specific clinical pattern, and it has a
name which you are experiencing. Sounds like a combination of
hormone decline, a dreamal dysregulation, and quite possibly thyroid dysfunction
(35:34):
that is not being captured by the standard blood panel
your doctor is running. The problem is not that your
labs are normal. The problem is that the labs being
ordered may not be asking those right questions. So let's
go ahead and break this down. When a conventional physician
(35:55):
checks your thyroid, they typically order one marker and it's
sh or thyroid stimulating hormone. If that normal number it
falls within the standard reference range, the box gets checked.
And the conversation ends. But t SH is a pituitary hormone,
and it tells tells you what your brain is asking
(36:18):
the thyroid to do. It does not tell you what
the thyroid is actually producing, or more critically, what your
cells are able to use. The hormones that matter at
this cellular level are free T three in free T four,
so reverse T three that's an inactive form of thyroid
(36:39):
hormone that can block receptor sites, is almost never ordered
in a standard panel. So if your your cells cannot
access this active thyroid hormone, you will feel exactly the
way you are describing, and that's exhausted, foggy, slow to
lose weight in cold, regardless of what your TSAH read
(37:02):
is on paper. The second piece of this puzzle is
your adrenal function. Your adrenal glands produced cortisol, and that
hormone is in charge of regulating your energy response throughout
the day. And so in a healthy pattern, cortisol is
highest in the morning and it tapers throughout the day,
(37:22):
and someone dealing with chronic stress or poor sleep or
prolonged demand on that adrenal system that curve flattens or
actually inverts so you wake up without that cortisol surge
that you should mobilize your energy for most of the day.
This is often described by patients exactly the way you're
(37:44):
describing it. And we're talking about exhausted from the moment
you open your eyes despite that full night's sleep. So
the third variable, and this is in particular is relevant
for women in their early fifties, is that shift in
sex hormones. So we're talking estrogen and progesterone and testosterone.
They do not simply affect reproduction. They also affect cognitive
(38:09):
sharpness and your body composition and your mood stability, and
your bone density and your cardiovascular protection and that overall
metabolic rate. So the weight around your middle you are
describing is a classic presentation of declining estrogen that's paired
with elevated cortisol and also insulin resistance. So these systems
(38:32):
are deeply interconnected, and when one is off, the others
follow suit. So here's what I recommend you ask your
physician for, and if your current physician will not order it,
find one who will request a full thyroid panel. And
I'm talking about t SH free T three, free T
(38:52):
four And this is important reverse T three. I want
you to request a four point salivary cortisol tests to
assess your adrenal rhythm across the day. Request a comprehensive
sex hormone panel including estradahl, progesterone in free testosterone. Add
(39:14):
a full nutrient assessment if you can, in particular vitamin
D three, B twelve, magnesium, ferretin, and zinc. These are
the difference between a conversation that ends your full you're fine,
and one that gets you to the root of how
(39:34):
you feel. So your body is trying to communicate with you. You
deserve to ask those clinician those important questions and not
just the ones that may be the standard test might miss. Okay,
thank you for your question, Sandra, and we got to
take a short break. When we come back, we're going
to get to our health mystery of the week. You're

That's eight seven seven to zero seven zero eight twenty
four or Americanholisticcare dot com. Welcome back. You're listening to
(41:30):
Health Talk America presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm
doctor Adam Brockman, and we've reached the end of this
hour of the show, and with that, I want to
leave you with our Health Mystery of the Week. Here
is your health Mystery of the week, and I promise you,
(41:51):
by the time I get to the solution, you will
not believe what you're hearing. I want you to imagine this.
A patient walks into the emergency room, or in many
cases is carried in doubled over with nausea and vomiting
so severe that they cannot keep water down. It is cyclical,
it's relentless, and it has been happening for months and
sometimes years, and the er workup comes back inconclusive. They
(42:15):
get treated for gestritis, they get treated for pancreatitis or
some other motility disorder. Some of these patients they cycle
through three, four or five different diagnosis before anyone gets
it right. And here is the detail that ties it
all together. Every single one of them is a daily
cannabis user. This condition is called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome and
(42:40):
is showing up in emergency rooms across the country at
a rate that is directly tracking the rise of legal
cannabis use in the dramatic increase in THHC potency that's
been happening over the last decade. And this is not
some kind of a made up condition anymore. Emergency physicians
they're seeing this in high use states, and they're seeing
(43:01):
it regularly and still missing it quite often because it
defies the most basic assumption people have about cannabis that
it settles the stomach. And here's where the mystery gets
gets genuinely fascinating. Cannabis use has been used for centuries
to treat nausea. It is prescribed to for chemotherapy patients
(43:23):
for the exact same reason. So how does the same
compound that relieves nausea in one population trigger this catastrophic,
uncontrollable vomiting in another. The answer lies in the receptor
the saturation. When chronic high dose cannabis use this endo cannabinoid,
these receptors and the gut become dysregulated. The system that
(43:46):
has designed to modulate the nausea becomes overwhelmed and begins
to malfunction, flipping the response entirely. Now, are you ready
for the treatment? It's hot showers in topical capsation cream
patients with the cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. They compulsively take these
(44:06):
scalding hot showers, sometimes for hours at a time, and
report significant relief. Researchers believe the heat activates receptors in
the skin, and it overrides the disregulated gut signaling that
is driving the vomiting and capsation. Cream applied to the
abdominal area works through the same receptor pathway, so there's
no medication that's developed to date that has proved consistently effective.
(44:29):
The solution is a hot shower in pepper derived cream.
The only definite cure stop using cannabis entirely. Symptoms resolve,
usually within days or weeks of cessation. Medicine is full
of moments that remind us of how much we still
do not fully understand about the human body, and this
(44:50):
is one of them. All Right, that's a wrap. On
today's edition of Health Talk America presents The Doctor Bob
Barden Show, I want you to keep saying connected with
I'm doctor Adam Brockman. Take care of yourself because no
one else will do it for you. We'll see you
next time. On Help Talk America presents The Doctor Bob Arkminshow,
Welcome to the number one radio health talk show in America,
The Doctor Bob Martin Show. Doctor Martin is a chiropractic physician,
a Board certified clinical nutritionist, and Diplomat of the American
Academy of Anti Aging Medicine. The information presented on this
show is educational in nature. Please consult your personal healthcare
provider regarding health issues. You may have got a health
(00:32):
related problem or challenge, not feeling well, and you just
don't know where to turner what to do. Doctor Bob
Martin is here for you and will do his very
best to answer your health question. The tone free number
to ask Doctor Martin a health question or to make
a health related comment is eight hundred six oh six
eighty eight twenty two. Eight hundred six oh six eighty
(00:52):
eight twenty two. That's eight hundred six zero six eighty
eight twenty two. It's the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Welcome to Health Talk America presents the Doctor Bob Martin
Show of Doctor Adam Brockman, and this right here is
America's most dynamic conversation in health and medicine, reaching more
and more listeners every week across this great nation, in
across the world. This is the program where science meets
(01:20):
real life, and where the latest research collides with practical wisdom,
and where we refuse to let the health headlines pass
without giving them the honest, informed commentary that you deserve.
Here is what I want you to understand about the show.
We're not one dimensional. We do not live exclusively in
(01:44):
any single lane of medicine. We explore conventional research, integrative approaches,
nutritional science, emerging therapies, public health policy, and the frontier
ideas that are quietly re shaping what it means to
be healthy. And if this affects your body, your mind,
(02:07):
your longevity, or the health of your family, it belongs
on this program. And folks, the lines are open for
your commentary, your health questions, and that is eight hundred
six zero six eight a two two.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Again, that's eight.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Hundred six zero six eight eight two two. I want
you to call me with your questions. Your stories are
a headline that you want me to tackle and for
every show, reference every study, link and resource that we're
covering a day. I want you to head over to
doctor Bob dot com. That's spelling out the word doctor
doc t O R Bob dot com or Healthtalkamerica dot com.
(02:49):
It's free there, it's thorough, and there's something for everyone there.
You can go to it anytime. Now, let's get into
this week's health headlines, where every single week, the journals,
the studies, the policy rooms, and the clinical trenches they're
they're producing ideas that have the power to change your
(03:10):
life if someone takes the time to translate them into
language that actually means something to you. And that is
exactly what we're doing here. Those are this week's headlines.
They span the full spectrum, from a twenty one year
clinical bombshell published in the Journal of American Medicine, to
an amino acid that your body uses to build dopamine
(03:32):
and thyroid hormones, to a national trust crisis that is
fundamentally reshaping how Americans relate to the healthcare system. Every
story connects, each one matters, and I promise you by
the time we go to break you will think a
little bit differently about your health. So with that, this
is this week's health headlines. First up, we have a
(04:01):
twenty one year NIH study that was just confirmed that
lifestyle intervention beats medication for preventing chronic disease and This
is the headline I have been waiting years to read
in a major medical journal, and this week it has
finally arrived. A landmark twenty one year clinical trial that
(04:21):
was published in the Journal of American Medicine that it
followed more than eleven hundred adults diagnosed with pre diabetes.
Researchers compared three groups, those on a structured lifestyle intervention,
those on met Foreman, and those on a placebo. In
the result, the lifestyle group reduced their risk of developing
(04:42):
multiple chronic conditions by twenty one to twenty five percent.
The met Foreman group showed no statistically significant difference from
the placebo and two decades of data. It's peer reviewed,
and it's published in the gold standard of medical journals.
In the intervention that one was not a drug. It
(05:04):
was diet, movement and consistency. And I want to be
clear about what the study represents. It's not fringe, it's
not alternative medicine. It is mainstream clinical science that's delivering
a verdict that integrative health practitioners have been pointing towards
for generations. When you give the human body what it
(05:24):
actually needs, it does not merely survive. It thrives the
question every one of our listeners should now be asking
their physician, is this before we talk about medication? What
is my lifestyle intervention plan?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Now?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Okay, next up, we got a study that shows that
the supplement revolution is real. We're talking about sixty percent
of Americans are now supplementing and the data is fascinating.
So this was a sweeping twenty five year analysis drowing
over sixty three thousand participants from the National Health in
New Nutritional Examination Survey. It was published this week in
(06:04):
JAMMA Network Open, and it confirms that dietary supplementation is
being used by more and more Americans all the time.
Is climbed from fifty one percent to sixty percent over
the past two decades. So six and ten Americans are
now proactively supplementing their nutrition. And so it's not a fad,
it's a movement. But here is the detail that tells
(06:28):
the real story that traditional multi vitamin supplements are declining
in its placed. Americans are turning to more targeted and
condition specific supplements. We're talking vitamin D and zinc, collagen,
and probiotics and these are all surging. So people are
no longer satisfied with this broad spectrum guests, they want
(06:50):
to know what their body actually needs and what it's
division in, and they want solutions that are precise in
evidence based assults driven. So this is one of the
most meaningful shifts in consumer health behavior that we have
seen in a generation. The gap between conventional medicine and
(07:13):
informed self care is closing, and supplementation is one of
those bridges. The challenge, as always is quality. Not all
supplements are formulated equally in the space between a clinical
result in a marketing claim can be enormous, So we'll
keep breaking that down for you here on the show. Okay,
(07:35):
and we all got new research links that amino acid
tirazine and it's linked to healthier aging, and it also
might already be in your kitchen. So this was published
this week in the peer journal Aging US and it's
showing that researchers have identified a compelling association between elevated
(07:58):
blood levels of tirasine and that's a naturally occurring amino
acid in measurably healthy aging biomarkers. So individuals with high
circulating tyrazine appear to be aging more favorably at the
cellular level. Now, why does this matter beyond the science
because tyrazine, it's not something that's exotic. It is a
(08:20):
precursor to dopamine and to the thyroid hormones T three
and T four, and also to adrenaline. So it plays
this direct role in mental sharpness, metabolic function, stress hormone regulation,
and also mood stability. So you'll find it in eggs,
dairy lean poultry, fish, in pumpkin seeds. So these are
(08:45):
foods that your grandmother has been telling you to eat.
And this research is part of a larger emerging narrative
in medicine, one that connects nutritional biochemistry to longevity and
in ways that are only now being quantified. That the
longevity industry has spent billions chasing these synthetic interventions, and
(09:08):
so this data keeps pointing back to the foundational nutrition.
I find this both humbling and incredibly empowering because it
means that the tools for a longer, sharper life are
far more accessible than a lot of the market wants
you to believe. And finally, today we got public trust
(09:29):
in federal health guidelines has dropped sharply, and seven and
ten Americans want a new model. So the latest American
Health Index delivers a number that should stop all of
us in our tracks, and that's public trust in federal
childhood health guidelines has fallen from seventy one percent to
(09:49):
sixty percent in a single year. So that is eleven
point drop in just twelve months. So simultaneously, seven and
ten Americans, cutting across every political affiliation say that they
want the government to invest more in lowering health care costs.
So this is about accountability. The American public is not
turning away from health information. They want the transparency and
(10:12):
how guidelines are developed, who funds the research behind them.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
So again, I.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Believe this movement, as uncomfortable as it is for established medicine,
is one that is needed and it's a great opportunity
here that our health administration is asking for. So that's
your headlines for the weak stories that are reshaping medicine, nutrition,
and public trust, and also the way that we think
about aging and prevention in this country. All right, folks,
(10:38):
we're just getting started. When we come back, we'll get
into more health news. And this is Health Talk America
presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Stay with me. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (11:00):

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Welcome back to Health Talk America presents the Doctor Bob
Bardin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and if you're just
joining us, you've tuned in to the right place. At
the right time. This is where informed health conversations happen.
Where we take the research that matters most, the ideas
that are reshaping medicine, and the health challenges that touch
(12:41):
real families, and we bring it all to you straight,
unfiltered and ready to use. And whether you caught us
coming out of the break or you've been with us
from the open, thank you for being here. This program
runs on your engagement, curiosity, and your willingness to ask
(13:03):
better questions about your health. This is what drives everything
we do. And folks, the lines are open at eight
hundred six zero six eight A two two. It's eight
hundred six zero six eight A two to two. I
want you to call in. I want you to share
what's on your mind, and let's talk. Every show reference
(13:23):
and every resource we cover is also available at doctor
Bob dot com. That's found out the word doctor doctrbob
dot com and also at Healthtalkamerica dot com. It's free
and it's always current. I want you to bookmarket if
you haven't already. But before we get back in today's conversation,
I want to take a moment because something is coming
(13:45):
to this program that I am genuinely excited about, and
I think you will be two. We are making some
significant changes to the show over the coming weeks and months,
changes that are going to elevate the depth of what
we cover, the voices and the guests that we bring
to the table, and the way we serve this audience.
(14:07):
This program has always been committed to being at the
leading edge of health in medicine, and what's coming is
a natural extension of that commitment and also some added benefits.
We are not going to give everything away right now.
Part of what makes this a great reveal is the anticipation,
(14:31):
So I want you to stay tuned over the next
few weeks. I want you to pay attention, and if
you have not already subscribed, shared, or told someone about
this program, now is a great time because what's coming
is worth showing up for.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Details will unfold.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Right here on air and also at Healthtalkamerica dot com,
and I want you to miss it. In the meantime,
I want to encourage you to keep doing exactly what
you're doing. I want you to keep your questions coming in.
Every caller who gets on this line moves the conversation forward,
(15:11):
not just for themselves, but for every listener who has
been sitting on the same question and needed someone to
ask it first. That is the power of this community.
We grow together and keep showing up for your health,
not just when something goes wrong, not just when a
(15:32):
diagnosis forces your hand, show up on the ordinary days.
The Tuesday morning when you don't feel like cooking a
real meal, or the Thursday night when you skip the
walk because you're feeling tired. Those are the moments that
define your health far more than any single medical appointment
(15:53):
I ever do. Consistency is always that intervention. Again, call
us an eight hundred zero six eight eighty two to two.
Let's talk about what consistency looks like in your life
right now? Okay, next up, I do want to make
a spotlight for the fellas and sometimes the question is
just making that appointment and is necessary. And it's Men's
(16:18):
Health Month, so I want to focus on why men
are still the hardest patients to reach. So this year's
theme for Men's Health Month is partners in Care, and
it's a recognition of something that the clinical community has
known for decades and struggle to act on, and that
is that men do not take care of themselves the
(16:41):
way that they should, and the people who love them
often bear the consequences. So let's start with the data,
because the numbers tell a story that is hard to
look away from. Men in the US and the United
States live on average five to six years less than women.
(17:01):
That's not months, that's years, and the gap is not closing.
In fact, for certain demographics it is actually widening. Men
are nearly twenty five percent less likely than women to
have visited a physician in the past year. Men account
for a disproportionate share of late stage cancer diagnosis or
(17:27):
advanced cardiovascular presentations and also unmanaged metabolic diseases, and these
are conditions where early detection and intervention change everything. Let's
take prostate cancer. We know prostate cancer is one of
the most treatable cancers when caught early. Yet men delay
the conversation, they postpone the screening, and they rationalize away
(17:52):
the appointment until the window narrows. In cardiovascular disease, it
remains the leading cause of death in American men, and
the majority of these hard texts that kill men under
the age of sixty five. There's years of warning signs
that are being ignored or minimized or attributed to stress
or aging, and this is not biological inevitability. It is
(18:16):
a behavioral pattern, and the behavioral pattern needs to change.
The reasons men are avoiding care, they're well documented. Some
are cultural, that persistent mythology that needing medical attention signals weakness.
And some of the reasons are logistical men consistently prioritize
(18:39):
work schedules over personal health apployments. And some reasons are
emotional the discomfort of confronting a body that may not
be performing the way it once did. All of these
things are understandable. None of them are acceptable trade offs
for your life. So what the partner's theme gets right
(18:59):
is this your health questions, your health decisions do not
belong to you alone. When a man refuses to get screened,
refuses to discuss these symptoms, or refuse us to follow
up on an abnormal lab result, the decision ripples outward.
It reaches your spouse, it reaches children, it reaches everyone
(19:20):
who is counting on you to be present and functional.
For a law in haul healthcare, at its core, it's
a relational in a relationship back. We can take care
of ourselves because we belong to the people that need
us as well. And to the partners. The spouse is
the adult children listening right now. You're not overstepping by
(19:44):
making that appointment, by asking the question, by sitting in
the room with them, you are doing exactly what this
theme asks of you. Partners in care means showing up
together for that conversation, for the screening, for the fire through.
So I want to take a second and speak directly
to the men in the audience right now for a moment.
(20:06):
Getting a checkup is not a concession, it's not a strategy.
You know, modern integrative medicine offers tools that were not
available a generation ago, And we're talking about testosterone optimization
and metabolic panel analysis, a gut microbiome assessment, sleep quality evaluation,
(20:29):
cardiovascular risk profiling that goes well beyond that basic cholesterol number.
The men who are engaging with these tools are performing,
they're thinking, and they're living at a level that should
be the standard, not the exception. So the strongest thing
you can do this month is not at the gym.
(20:50):
It's in the doctor's office looking at a lab panel
that tells you the truth about your health before your
body has to say it. Louder book that a point,
get the blood work, ask the hard questions. If your
family is counting on that version of you that is
informed and proactive in present for the long game. Okay,
(21:13):
we got to take a short break, and when we
come back, we're going to keep this moving. More of
what's reshaping health and medicine, more of your questions, and
more of the conversation that is making a difference in
homes across the country. The number to join the conversation
is eight hundred six zero six eight A two two.
Get us eight hundred and six zero six eight A two
to two and everything from today's program, the resources, the references,
(21:36):
the show notes is waiting for you at doctor Bob
dot com or Healthtalkamerica dot com. This is Health Talk
America presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I want you
to keep showing up and we'll be right back.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
Everybody's got fa mistakes, but everybody's got a choice to make.
Everybody needs to leave the faith. Monny's taking you, use money,
you info.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Welcome back to help Talk America presents the Doctor Bob
Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman. You are locked into
the program that keeps you thinking, keeps you questioning, and
keeps you one step ahead when it comes to your health.
And whether this is your first time tuning in or
you've been part of this conversation for years, thank you
(22:49):
for being here. And folks, the phone lines they're open
and the number to call is eight hundred six zero
six eight eight two to two. That's eight hundred six
zero six eight A two to two. I want you
to call in with your questions, your stories, and the
health topics that you want us to tackle. And as always,
every show reference and research link is available to you
(23:12):
at doctor Bob dot com spelled out the word doctor
dooctrbob dot com or Healthtalkamerica dot com. And coming up
a little later in this segment is this week's health
alternative of the week and it's one of the most
underrated gut healing tools in integrated medicine. So I want
(23:33):
to stay with me, But let's talk about something that
does not get nearly the attention it deserves, and that's
your oral health. We spend a tremendous amount of time
on this program discussing cardiovascular health, metabolic function, and chronic
disease prevention. But here is the fact that too many
(23:53):
people overlook, and that is that your mouth is not
separate from your systemic health. It is directly connected to it.
The bacteria that's living in your oral cavity have a
documented pathway to your bloodstream, and we're talking about your heart,
your immune system, and your inflammatory response. So oral health
is a whole body health and it is a full stop.
(24:18):
So let's make a smart choice. I want you to
meet the Spry Dental Defense System, a product line that
is as effective as it is natural. And the star
ingredient is xylotol.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
And this is a.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Plant based sweetener and it doesn't just taste great, It
fights cavities, it reduces plaque, and it keeps your breath fresh.
And Spry has harnessed its power across a complete line
of products, and we're talking toothpaste, mouth washed gum, and
mince and it's in flavors that you will actually look
forward to using every single day. And here's the science.
(24:55):
Xylotol works by inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mu hands
and that's a bacteria most responsible for tooth decay and
plaque formation. Unlike sugar, which feeds harmful bacterium fuels the
acid cycle that erodes your enamel. Xylotol starves the bad bacteria.
It also stimulates natural saliva production, which helps to neutralize
(25:20):
acids and supports the enamel. No harsh chemicals, no synthetic additives,
just a clinically supported, plant based approach to oral defense.
So if you want to know my routine, I brushed
with Spry toothpaste, I rinsed with their alcohol free mouthwashed,
and I chew their gum after meals. It's an easy
(25:40):
swap for real measurable results, and your dentist will notice
the difference. And you'll find Spry at cvs target sprouts
and natural grosers. And if you want to learn more
about the science behind the smile, visit Clear dot com.
That's spelled x l e aar dot com. They're also
(26:01):
the makers of Clear nasal sprays. So, folks, your smile
and your whole body health deserved this smart choice. It's
time to take control of your oral health with the
Spray dental defense system. Okay, let's get to our health
alternative of the week. If you have been part of
(26:34):
this audience long enough, you know that gut health is
not some niche topic. It is the central pillar of
your entire wellness picture. The research connecting gut barrier integrity
to immune function, mental health, metabolic performance, and chronic inflammatory
disease has become some of the most compelling science in
medicine over the last decade. In this week's health alternative
(26:57):
of the Week speaks directly to that to meet zinc
carnisine and this is not regular zinc. When zinc is
chemically bound to the amino acid compound L carnisine, something
remarkable happens, and the resulting molecule adheres to the gut
lining far more effectively and far longer than standard zinc supplementation.
(27:22):
It does not simply transit through the digestive track. It
clings to the mucosal wall. It works where the damage
is and stays long enough to make that measurable difference.
And here's why that matters. The gut lining, that mucosal
barrier separating what is inside your intestinal track from what
(27:44):
enters your bloodstream is only one cell thick. It's one
cell When that barrier is compromised by chronic stress or
poor diet, are long term in said used or alcohol
or dysbiosis. You know that partially digested food particles, the
bacterial byproducts in those inflammatory compounds can pass directly into
(28:09):
your circulatory system, and that clinical term for this is
intestinal hyper permeability. You may know it as leaky gut.
The downstream consequences and again we're talking about systemic inflammation,
autoimmune flare ups, our food sensitivities, and we're talking brain fog,
(28:29):
skin conditions and fatigue are far reaching and frequently misattributed
to other causes. And zinc carnisine has it has been
used clinically in Japan as an approved anti ulcer treatment
for decades. The Japanese medical community recognizes early what Western
(28:50):
integrated medicine is now validating through research, and that is
that this compound, zink carnisine, has unique ability to repair
the gastric and intensity mucosal lining and it reduces that
oxidative damage to the gut tissue and it lowers the
inflammatory cided connectivity that drives that chronic gut inflammation. So,
(29:12):
for our audience, anyone managing irritable bow symptoms or food sensitivities,
autoimmune conditions, or recovering from long term use of medications
known to compromise that gut integrity, zinc carnisine is worth
a direct conversation with your integrative physician. The dose most
(29:34):
studied in the clinical research runs between seventy five to
one hundred and fifty milligrams of the zinc carnisine complex
and that's daily and it's taken typically taken with meals.
So look for formulations using the patent pep zen that's
pep zn gi form. That is the version that's backed
(29:57):
by the most clinical evidence. So this is usually only
one that flies under that radar, but it's not going
to stay there for long. Gut health is where some
of the most exciting in cutting edge medicine is happening
right now. In zinc carnizine belongs in that conversation. Zinc
carnisin your health alternative of the week. Okay, folks, we've
(30:19):

Welcome back to health Talk America Presents the Doctor Bob
Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman. I'm glad you're staying
with us today, joining us today, and right now we're
going to open up the email bag, and folks, I
want you to keep those questions coming. You can email
us through doctor Bob dot com that's gone out the
word doctor doctor Bob dot com or Healthtalkamerica dot com,
(33:48):
and also by picking up the phone and call us
at eight hundred six zero six eight A two two.
That's eight hundred six zero six eight A two two.
And every question matters yours, maybe the one that changes
someone else's life today. So this email question it comes
from Sandra in Tucson, Arizona. And Sandra, thanks for writing in,
(34:12):
because I promise you that tens of thousands of people
listening right now have asked themselves this exact same question
and never knew exactly maybe who to ask.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
So here is.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
What Sandra wrote, Doctor Brockman. I am fifty two years
old and I have been completely exhausted for nearly two years.
I have had blood work done and my doctor tells
me everything looks normal, but I do not feel normal.
My energy is low from the moment I wake up,
my thinking feels foggy and slow. I've gained weight around
(34:47):
my middle even though my diet has not changed, and
I feel like I am aging faster than I should.
My doctor told me it is probably just stress and aging.
I feel like I am missing something. Is there something
more I should be asking for? Again, this is Sandra
and Tucson, Arizona. So Sandra, I want you to hear
(35:09):
me clearly on this. What you're describing as not stressed
and is not simply aging. It is a pattern, and
it's a very specific clinical pattern, and it has a
name which you are experiencing. Sounds like a combination of
hormone decline, a dreamal dysregulation, and quite possibly thyroid dysfunction
(35:34):
that is not being captured by the standard blood panel
your doctor is running. The problem is not that your
labs are normal. The problem is that the labs being
ordered may not be asking those right questions. So let's
go ahead and break this down. When a conventional physician
(35:55):
checks your thyroid, they typically order one marker and it's
sh or thyroid stimulating hormone. If that normal number it
falls within the standard reference range, the box gets checked.
And the conversation ends. But t SH is a pituitary hormone,
and it tells tells you what your brain is asking
(36:18):
the thyroid to do. It does not tell you what
the thyroid is actually producing, or more critically, what your
cells are able to use. The hormones that matter at
this cellular level are free T three in free T four,
so reverse T three that's an inactive form of thyroid
(36:39):
hormone that can block receptor sites, is almost never ordered
in a standard panel. So if your your cells cannot
access this active thyroid hormone, you will feel exactly the
way you are describing, and that's exhausted, foggy, slow to
lose weight in cold, regardless of what your TSAH read
(37:02):
is on paper. The second piece of this puzzle is
your adrenal function. Your adrenal glands produced cortisol, and that
hormone is in charge of regulating your energy response throughout
the day. And so in a healthy pattern, cortisol is
highest in the morning and it tapers throughout the day,
(37:22):
and someone dealing with chronic stress or poor sleep or
prolonged demand on that adrenal system that curve flattens or
actually inverts so you wake up without that cortisol surge
that you should mobilize your energy for most of the day.
This is often described by patients exactly the way you're
(37:44):
describing it. And we're talking about exhausted from the moment
you open your eyes despite that full night's sleep. So
the third variable, and this is in particular is relevant
for women in their early fifties, is that shift in
sex hormones. So we're talking estrogen and progesterone and testosterone.
They do not simply affect reproduction. They also affect cognitive
(38:09):
sharpness and your body composition and your mood stability, and
your bone density and your cardiovascular protection and that overall
metabolic rate. So the weight around your middle you are
describing is a classic presentation of declining estrogen that's paired
with elevated cortisol and also insulin resistance. So these systems
(38:32):
are deeply interconnected, and when one is off, the others
follow suit. So here's what I recommend you ask your
physician for, and if your current physician will not order it,
find one who will request a full thyroid panel. And
I'm talking about t SH free T three, free T
(38:52):
four And this is important reverse T three. I want
you to request a four point salivary cortisol tests to
assess your adrenal rhythm across the day. Request a comprehensive
sex hormone panel including estradahl, progesterone in free testosterone. Add
(39:14):
a full nutrient assessment if you can, in particular vitamin
D three, B twelve, magnesium, ferretin, and zinc. These are
the difference between a conversation that ends your full you're fine,
and one that gets you to the root of how
(39:34):
you feel. So your body is trying to communicate with you. You
deserve to ask those clinician those important questions and not
just the ones that may be the standard test might miss. Okay,
thank you for your question, Sandra, and we got to
take a short break. When we come back, we're going
to get to our health mystery of the week. You're

(41:30):
Health Talk America presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm
doctor Adam Brockman, and we've reached the end of this
hour of the show, and with that, I want to
leave you with our Health Mystery of the Week. Here
is your health Mystery of the week, and I promise you,
(41:51):
by the time I get to the solution, you will
not believe what you're hearing. I want you to imagine this.
A patient walks into the emergency room, or in many
cases is carried in doubled over with nausea and vomiting
so severe that they cannot keep water down. It is cyclical,
it's relentless, and it has been happening for months and
sometimes years, and the er workup comes back inconclusive. They
(42:15):
get treated for gestritis, they get treated for pancreatitis or
some other motility disorder. Some of these patients they cycle
through three, four or five different diagnosis before anyone gets
it right. And here is the detail that ties it
all together. Every single one of them is a daily
cannabis user. This condition is called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome and
(42:40):
is showing up in emergency rooms across the country at
a rate that is directly tracking the rise of legal
cannabis use in the dramatic increase in THHC potency that's
been happening over the last decade. And this is not
some kind of a made up condition anymore. Emergency physicians
they're seeing this in high use states, and they're seeing
(43:01):
it regularly and still missing it quite often because it
defies the most basic assumption people have about cannabis that
it settles the stomach. And here's where the mystery gets
gets genuinely fascinating. Cannabis use has been used for centuries
to treat nausea. It is prescribed to for chemotherapy patients
(43:23):
for the exact same reason. So how does the same
compound that relieves nausea in one population trigger this catastrophic,
uncontrollable vomiting in another. The answer lies in the receptor
the saturation. When chronic high dose cannabis use this endo cannabinoid,
these receptors and the gut become dysregulated. The system that
(43:46):
has designed to modulate the nausea becomes overwhelmed and begins
to malfunction, flipping the response entirely. Now, are you ready
for the treatment? It's hot showers in topical capsation cream
patients with the cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. They compulsively take these
(44:06):
scalding hot showers, sometimes for hours at a time, and
report significant relief. Researchers believe the heat activates receptors in
the skin, and it overrides the disregulated gut signaling that
is driving the vomiting and capsation. Cream applied to the
abdominal area works through the same receptor pathway, so there's
no medication that's developed to date that has proved consistently effective.
(44:29):
The solution is a hot shower in pepper derived cream.
The only definite cure stop using cannabis entirely. Symptoms resolve,
usually within days or weeks of cessation. Medicine is full
of moments that remind us of how much we still
do not fully understand about the human body, and this
(44:50):
is one of them. All Right, that's a wrap. On
today's edition of Health Talk America presents The Doctor Bob
Barden Show, I want you to keep saying connected with
I'm doctor Adam Brockman. Take care of yourself because no
one else will do it for you. We'll see you
next time. On Help Talk America presents The Doctor Bob Arkminshow,
