This week on “Health Talk America presents The Dr. Bob Martin Show”, Dr. Adam Brockman takes you inside a groundbreaking new frontier — where inflammation, longevity, and AI collide. The medical mainstream is finally catching up to what natural health experts have said for decades: it’s not just about cholesterol, it’s about inflammation. From the “Great Lipid Lie” redefining heart disease to retinal scans that use artificial intelligence to calculate your biological age, this episode reveals the science and stories that could change how you think about aging forever. But that’s just the start. Dr. Brockman also tackles new hope for pancreatic cancer, the HPV vaccine rebrand that’s targeting men’s health, and why keeping your “biological terrain” clean could be the most important health move you make this year. Then, we trade medical breakthroughs for mental ones — exploring how to plan “low-stress family travel” that actually restores your health. Whether you’re fighting inflammation, chasing longevity, or just trying to outrun family vacation chaos, this show has your roadmap.

[1:00] Speaker 3: Good Day America. You're tuned into Health Talk America presents
[1:04] Speaker 3: the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, your
[1:08] Speaker 3: resident longevity doctor, and I'm continuing to fill the big
[1:11] Speaker 3: shoes today and man, do we have a great hour
[1:15] Speaker 3: of the show. Lined up for you. If you're just
[1:18] Speaker 3: rolling out of bed, grab that organic mold free coffee,
[1:22] Speaker 3: or better yet, a tall glass of lemon water, and
[1:25] Speaker 3: pull up a chair or put those earbuds in and
[1:28] Speaker 3: go for a walk. We're going to dive deep into
[1:30] Speaker 3: the news that mainstream media is either missing or misinterpreting.
[1:35] Speaker 3: Today isn't just about surviving, it's about thriving in a
[1:38] Speaker 3: world that's constantly trying to rust your gears. So again,
[1:42] Speaker 3: we've got a massive show ahead. Later this hour, we're
[1:45] Speaker 3: going to discuss some family fun, our health alternative of
[1:49] Speaker 3: the week, and finish strong with our health mystery. But
[1:52] Speaker 3: before we get there, we have to talk about the
[1:54] Speaker 3: headlines that's shaking the foundations of modern medicine. We're talking
[1:58] Speaker 3: about a total re think of heart disease AI looking
[2:02] Speaker 3: into your soul. Well, you're rettin as at least in
[2:06] Speaker 3: some genuinely staggering news in a fight against cancer. So
[2:10] Speaker 3: if you want to follow along or catch the replay
[2:13] Speaker 3: after it airs, I invite you to head over to
[2:15] Speaker 3: doctor Bob dot com. Again, that's doctor Bob dot com
[2:19] Speaker 3: spelling out the word doctor doc t o r bob
[2:22] Speaker 3: dot com. Also, if you have a health related question,
[2:26] Speaker 3: you can dial our toll free hotline at eight hundred
[2:29] Speaker 3: six zero six eight A two two. Again, that's eight
[2:32] Speaker 3: hundred six zero six eight eight two two. Okay, let's
[2:36] Speaker 3: go ahead and get into our health headlines this week
[2:39] Speaker 3: that actually matter. First up, we have the great lipid lie.
[2:56] Speaker 3: We got for forty years, four decades, folks, the medical
[2:59] Speaker 3: established has had a singular, obsessive focus when it comes
[3:03] Speaker 3: to your heart, and that's cholesterol. They treated LDL like
[3:07] Speaker 3: it's the only villain in the story, handing out statins
[3:11] Speaker 3: like their after dinner mints. But this week the narrative
[3:14] Speaker 3: is officially shifting, and it's about time. New evidence is
[3:18] Speaker 3: pouring in that proves what we've been saying on the
[3:21] Speaker 3: show for years that high cholesterol is often just a bystander,
[3:26] Speaker 3: the real arsonist that's in the building. That's chronic inflammation.
[3:29] Speaker 3: I want you to think of it this way. If
[3:31] Speaker 3: your arteries are a highway, cholesterol is just the traffic.
[3:35] Speaker 3: Traffic doesn't just pile up unless there's a massive pothole
[3:40] Speaker 3: or a slick in the road. Inflammation is that pothole.
[3:44] Speaker 3: It's the biological rust that makes your vessels the sticky,
[3:48] Speaker 3: the walls sticky, they're damage and they're prone to catching
[3:51] Speaker 3: that cholesterol. Well, the medical world is finally starting to
[3:55] Speaker 3: prioritize sea reactive protein CRP reading. That's I say it,
[4:02] Speaker 3: that should be considered over the standard lipid panel. And
[4:05] Speaker 3: this is a game changer that the medical world is
[4:07] Speaker 3: catching up to that too. The CRP, it's a marker
[4:10] Speaker 3: of systemic inflammation. If your CRP is high, your body
[4:14] Speaker 3: is essentially on fire. So the study recently showed that
[4:17] Speaker 3: individuals with low cholesterol but high CRP were at a
[4:21] Speaker 3: much higher risk for a cardiac event than those with
[4:25] Speaker 3: high cholesterol but low inflammation. So we need to stop
[4:28] Speaker 3: asking how high is my fire, my fat content, that
[4:31] Speaker 3: cholesterol content, and start asking how hot is my fire.
[4:34] Speaker 3: To stay ahead of this, you've got to arm yourself
[4:36] Speaker 3: with anti inflammatory ammunition. We're talking high dose omega threes,
[4:41] Speaker 3: tumeric and cutting the refined sugars that act as gasoline
[4:45] Speaker 3: for that internal blaze. Okay, Well, next up we have
[4:49] Speaker 3: the eye of the beholder and AI in that search
[4:52] Speaker 3: for your biological age. So let's go ahead and move
[4:55] Speaker 3: on from the heart to the eyes. There's a wild
[4:57] Speaker 3: new frontier that's opening up in what we call longevity labs.
[5:02] Speaker 3: In major academic heavyweights like Northwestern University in University of
[5:06] Speaker 3: Texas at San Antonio are opening dedicated longevity clinics that
[5:11] Speaker 3: feel like something out of a movie. They're not just
[5:14] Speaker 3: looking at your birth certificate anymore. We all know that
[5:18] Speaker 3: guy who is forty five but he looks seventy in
[5:20] Speaker 3: the woman who's eighty but moves like she's fifty. That's
[5:24] Speaker 3: the difference between chronological age in biological age. And the
[5:28] Speaker 3: shocking part that these clinics are now using artificial intelligence
[5:33] Speaker 3: to analyze your retina that's right the back of your eye.
[5:36] Speaker 3: Scientists have discovered that the microvessels in your retina is
[5:41] Speaker 3: that's a direct window into the health of your brain
[5:44] Speaker 3: and your heart. So by running a simple retinal scan
[5:47] Speaker 3: through AI algorithms, they can calculate your biological age with
[5:53] Speaker 3: a great precision. So this retinal clock can predict your
[5:57] Speaker 3: risk for cardiovascular collapse before symptoms appear. It's about moving
[6:02] Speaker 3: from sick care to predictive care. So we're entering an
[6:05] Speaker 3: era where your smartphone might tell you that your biological
[6:09] Speaker 3: systems are aging too fast, and it gives you the
[6:12] Speaker 3: chance to pivot your lifestyle before the damage becomes permanent.
[6:15] Speaker 3: So this is exactly what we emphasize in what Doctor
[6:19] Speaker 3: Bob has said for years. You can be your own
[6:22] Speaker 3: best doctor most of the time. You don't want to
[6:24] Speaker 3: be that last person to know that your eyes are
[6:26] Speaker 3: snitching on your lifestyle habits. You need to be proactive. Okay,
[6:31] Speaker 3: we've got a beacon of hope. It's a doubling survival
[6:35] Speaker 3: rate in pancreatic cancer. So I want to pivot to
[6:39] Speaker 3: some news that is genuinely emotional. It's been the silent killer,
[6:43] Speaker 3: often discovered too late with very few options, but this
[6:46] Speaker 3: week the wires are humming with hope. There's two new
[6:49] Speaker 3: drugs currently in phase three clinical trials that are showing
[6:52] Speaker 3: results that were previously unthinkable. They are doubling survival rates
[6:57] Speaker 3: for pancreatic cancer patients. Now phase three is that final
[7:01] Speaker 3: hurdle before FDA approval. And while we are always cautious
[7:06] Speaker 3: about new pharmaceuticals, one hundred percent increase in survival duration.
[7:10] Speaker 3: That's a huge, a staggering statistic that cannot be ignored.
[7:15] Speaker 3: These drugs they work by unmasking the cancer cells, allowing
[7:19] Speaker 3: the body's own immune system to finally see that biological
[7:23] Speaker 3: rust we teak keep talking about, and go to work
[7:25] Speaker 3: cleaning it out. So it's a massive win for science.
[7:29] Speaker 3: But remember, the best defense is a proactive offense. Keeping
[7:33] Speaker 3: your immune system educated through proper vitamin D three levels
[7:37] Speaker 3: medicinal mushrooms in a clean terrain is the best bet
[7:41] Speaker 3: for making sure these cells never get a foothold in
[7:43] Speaker 3: the first place. All right, And finally, men, once again,
[7:48] Speaker 3: it's your turn, and we're talking about the HPV vaccine rebrand.
[7:54] Speaker 3: All right, So finally, let's go ahead and talk about
[7:55] Speaker 3: a headline from the Journal of American Medicine, the oncology
[8:00] Speaker 3: journal that has a lot of guys shifting uncomfortably in
[8:03] Speaker 3: their seats right now. For the longest time, the HPV
[8:07] Speaker 3: vaccine was marketed almost exclusively towards young women as a
[8:11] Speaker 3: way to prevent cervical cancer. Well, the data is in
[8:15] Speaker 3: and it turns out men we need to be paying
[8:18] Speaker 3: attention to. New research shows that the HPV vaccine is
[8:22] Speaker 3: cutting head, neck, and throat cancers in men by about
[8:25] Speaker 3: fifty percent. So we've seen a troubling spike in these
[8:30] Speaker 3: specific cancers in men over the last decade, and it's
[8:32] Speaker 3: a direct link to this HPV virus. So there's no
[8:37] Speaker 3: longer just a women's issue here. It's a human issue,
[8:42] Speaker 3: including men. And so whether you choose the vaccine or
[8:45] Speaker 3: choose to boost your immune system through natural protocols, the
[8:49] Speaker 3: takeaway is clear. The virus doesn't discriminate. So we have
[8:53] Speaker 3: to stop thinking about health in gendered silos and start
[8:57] Speaker 3: looking at the total viral load our bodies are carrying.
[9:01] Speaker 3: So let's go ahead in and tie it all together.
[9:04] Speaker 3: All these headlines, from inflammation in your heart to the
[9:08] Speaker 3: AI in your eyes, it points back to one central theme,
[9:11] Speaker 3: and that's the terrain. Your body is either an environment
[9:15] Speaker 3: where health flourishes or where rust takes over. And through
[9:20] Speaker 3: the show, we're going to keep giving you the exact
[9:24] Speaker 3: steps to lower that CRP, to protect your retinas and
[9:28] Speaker 3: your eyes, your heart, your brain, and keep that biological
[9:32] Speaker 3: age decades behind your birthday. All right, folks, we're coming
[9:35] Speaker 3: up on a break. I want you to stay with us.
[9:38] Speaker 3: We're gonna take this quick break to hear from our sponsors,
[9:40] Speaker 3: but I don't want you to go anywhere. We're just
[9:42] Speaker 3: getting started on this hour. You're listening to Health Talk
[9:45] Speaker 3: America presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show, and I'm doctor
[9:48] Speaker 3: Adam Brockman. We'll be right back.
[10:01] Speaker 4: Hi. I'm Connie Britton, and I want to share with
[10:04] Speaker 4: you the experience of Donna in Washington. She writes, I
[10:09] Speaker 4: got injured about five years ago. I was let go
[10:13] Speaker 4: when because of the injury, I couldn't keep up with
[10:15] Speaker 4: my schedule. I've tried to find other work, but I'm
[10:19] Speaker 4: sixty eight now. No one wants to hire someone that old.
[10:24] Speaker 4: This week is tough, though, because I had to get
[10:27] Speaker 4: my tooth fixed, so I only have ten dollars in
[10:30] Speaker 4: my checking account. But it will be okay. I at
[10:34] Speaker 4: least have food because of this pantry. Millions of people
[10:38] Speaker 4: face hunger, some every day, just like Donna. The Feeding
[10:44] Speaker 4: America network of food banks helps provide over six billion
[10:48] Speaker 4: meals to people in need each year. Learn more at

[12:22] Speaker 3: and teaching you to become your own best doctor. So
[12:24] Speaker 3: if you've got questions about the latest health headlines we
[12:27] Speaker 3: just went over, I invite you to give us a

[12:35] Speaker 3: two two. That's where you'll find doctor Bob and I
[12:38] Speaker 3: and we're standing by to help unlock your best self again.
[12:41] Speaker 3: That's eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two.
[12:44] Speaker 3: All right. You know it's it's stress awareness this month.
[12:48] Speaker 3: And I want to go ahead and talk about that
[12:51] Speaker 3: summer vacation trap, that magical time of year when families
[12:56] Speaker 3: spend thousands of dollars to become dehydrated and overstimulated and
[13:01] Speaker 3: underslept and somehow mad at each other in a beautiful location.
[13:05] Speaker 3: You know, you plan four months, pack like you're fleeing
[13:08] Speaker 3: the country. You survive airport security with three snacks in
[13:13] Speaker 3: a prayer, and then come home needing a chiropractor, a nap,
[13:18] Speaker 3: and maybe a second vacation. And if that sounds too familiar,
[13:22] Speaker 3: you're not feeling at vacation. You are participating in a
[13:26] Speaker 3: very modern, very common health problem. So as a doctor
[13:32] Speaker 3: and a dad, I can tell you that this is
[13:35] Speaker 3: one of the greatest ironies of summer. We chase. We
[13:39] Speaker 3: often chase rest with intensity, like it we're some type
[13:43] Speaker 3: of a swat team. We work, We work for fifty
[13:45] Speaker 3: weeks for a getaway. Then spend the getaway rushing, waiting, hauling, sweating,
[13:52] Speaker 3: spending and refereeing little emotional hostage situations and flip flops.
[13:58] Speaker 3: So I want you to join me as we uncover
[14:00] Speaker 3: a real truth and that's a vacation that can absolutely
[14:05] Speaker 3: improve your health, but only if you stop turning it
[14:08] Speaker 3: into a seven day cortisol festival. So from a longevity perspective,
[14:14] Speaker 3: travel can be fantastic. You get new scenery, time away
[14:18] Speaker 3: from routine, You get sunlight, movement, laughter, in meaningful family
[14:23] Speaker 3: connection that can all help support mental health and lower
[14:27] Speaker 3: that alistatic load that where and tear burden stresses place
[14:32] Speaker 3: that's on the body. But here's the troubling part. Roughly
[14:35] Speaker 3: sixty percent of travelers say they're relaxing trips leave them
[14:39] Speaker 3: more drained than when they started. And that's a huge statistic,
[14:43] Speaker 3: but honestly, after watching families power walk through theme parks
[14:48] Speaker 3: like their storm in a Castle, I believe it. So
[14:51] Speaker 3: let's go ahead and dive into the science of travel. Stress.
[14:55] Speaker 3: Cortisol is your main stress hormone. In the right amount,
[14:59] Speaker 3: it can be helpful. It wakes you up, it keeps
[15:02] Speaker 3: you alert, and it helps you respond to challenges but
[15:06] Speaker 3: when cortisol stays elevated too long, it begins to sabotage
[15:10] Speaker 3: the very benefits your vacation was supposed to deliver. High
[15:14] Speaker 3: cortisol can worsen sleep, it can increase irritability, it can
[15:19] Speaker 3: disregulate your blood sugar, it can weaken your immune system,
[15:22] Speaker 3: and it can amplify your body's inflammation. So, in plain English,
[15:26] Speaker 3: if your break leaves you edgy, puffy, exhausted, craving junk
[15:31] Speaker 3: and snapping at your spouse because someone lost the hotel key,
[15:36] Speaker 3: your body is not in vacation mode. It's in low
[15:39] Speaker 3: grade survival mode. And you're wearing sunglasses. So that's why
[15:43] Speaker 3: I tell people this all the time. Not all trips
[15:46] Speaker 3: are restorative. Some are just stressed with a pool. Now,
[15:50] Speaker 3: I'm not anti travel, I'm pro smart travel. I want
[15:55] Speaker 3: you to come back with memories, not muscle spasm. Which
[15:59] Speaker 3: brings me to Orlando. When most people think of heading
[16:03] Speaker 3: to Orlando, you already know what's lurking in the distance,
[16:06] Speaker 3: and that's the mouse Disney World. It's iconic, it's huge,
[16:10] Speaker 3: it's polished, it's nostalgic, and for most families, it's a
[16:14] Speaker 3: rite of passage. But let's just say the place can
[16:18] Speaker 3: also feel like a master class in organized chaos. The
[16:22] Speaker 3: crowds are enormous, the walking is relentless, and unless you
[16:27] Speaker 3: r in a scooter, but don't get me started on that.
[16:30] Speaker 3: The lines they can stretch longer than your patients. And
[16:34] Speaker 3: once you add in heat, noise, sugar, and the complexity
[16:39] Speaker 3: of moving children throughout a giant theme park ecosystem, things
[16:43] Speaker 3: can get a little spicy in a hurry. And as
[16:46] Speaker 3: a dad, I get the appeal, and as a doctor,
[16:49] Speaker 3: I also recognize the signs of a nervous system being
[16:52] Speaker 3: mugged in broad daylight. You know, dense crowds, they matter.
[16:57] Speaker 3: Your brain is not neutral about them. Research consistently shows
[17:01] Speaker 3: that crowding, noise, unpredictability, and long waves can activate a
[17:06] Speaker 3: fight or flight response. Your body starts to read this
[17:10] Speaker 3: environment as stressful, so your heart rate goes up, your
[17:13] Speaker 3: tension rises, and patients fall through the roof. And then
[17:18] Speaker 3: you start to have this classic theme park chain reaction.
[17:21] Speaker 3: You got one hungry kid, one overheated parent, one delayed ride,
[17:26] Speaker 3: one overpriced mystery snack, and suddenly everybody's having a character
[17:31] Speaker 3: building experience. They did not ask for and that's why
[17:35] Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a little surprise in
[17:37] Speaker 3: our last trip to Orlando, and that was Lego Land
[17:41] Speaker 3: in winter Haven, and I'm telling you it was a
[17:44] Speaker 3: breath of fresh air. We found this place while looking
[17:47] Speaker 3: for a way to add fun without adding more chaos,
[17:51] Speaker 3: and it delivered. And if you have younger kids, especially
[17:55] Speaker 3: in that two to twelve range, Lego Land is the
[17:58] Speaker 3: kind of discovery that make you feel like you've cracked
[18:01] Speaker 3: a secret family travel code. I want to tell you
[18:05] Speaker 3: right away. The whole environment felt more manageable and not small,
[18:10] Speaker 3: not boring, but manageable, and when you're traveling with kids,
[18:15] Speaker 3: manageable is a luxury item. The lines were shorter, the
[18:19] Speaker 3: crowds were lighter, the pace felt human. Nobody looked like
[18:24] Speaker 3: they were preparing for an ultra marathon. I didn't feel
[18:27] Speaker 3: like I needed a tactical plan or three apps in
[18:30] Speaker 3: a backup battery just to buy lunch. That alone lower
[18:35] Speaker 3: distress level by a mile. We weren't spending half the
[18:38] Speaker 3: day standing in line while the kids dissolved into little
[18:41] Speaker 3: puddles of fatigue and emotion. We were actually moving and
[18:45] Speaker 3: playing and laughing and adjoining ourselves and here was the
[18:49] Speaker 3: real kicker. The value felt better too. I always look
[18:54] Speaker 3: at family experiences through that lens of let's call it
[18:58] Speaker 3: smiles per hour, in Lego Land scored high. My kids
[19:03] Speaker 3: actually got to be kids, and instead of staring at
[19:06] Speaker 3: screens or collapsing from boredom in line, they found building
[19:10] Speaker 3: stations and hands on spaces that kept their brains engaged.
[19:14] Speaker 3: They were using imagination and coordination and creativity, and this
[19:18] Speaker 3: is all good stuff. So from a developmental standpoint, I
[19:22] Speaker 3: loved it From a dad standpoint, I loved it even
[19:24] Speaker 3: more because we avoided the classic theme park meltdown theater.
[19:29] Speaker 3: And yes, I'll say it plainly, I had a blast too.
[19:32] Speaker 3: And that's important because parents count. You are not just
[19:36] Speaker 3: the pack mule with that credit card. If the adults
[19:39] Speaker 3: are miserable, the whole family feels it too, And at
[19:42] Speaker 3: Lego Land, we weren't just gritting our teeth and pretending
[19:45] Speaker 3: that this was fun for the scrap book. It was
[19:47] Speaker 3: genuinely fun. We also stayed at the Lego Land hotel,
[19:51] Speaker 3: and it turned out to be another smart move. The
[19:54] Speaker 3: setup made it life easier. The room layout gave the
[19:56] Speaker 3: kids their own space, and the sleep was better, the
[19:59] Speaker 3: break was included, and thankfully it wasn't just a fluorescent
[20:04] Speaker 3: sugar buffet trying to pass off as a convenience. And
[20:07] Speaker 3: that matters because nutritional planning on the road is one
[20:10] Speaker 3: of the most overlooked pieces of low strassificationing. And here's why.
[20:14] Speaker 3: Unstable blood sugar can turn a manageable day into a
[20:17] Speaker 3: circus in under twenty minutes. When families start the day
[20:20] Speaker 3: with syrup and pastries and juice and then they go
[20:23] Speaker 3: for hours without protein, fiber, or water or any real food,
[20:27] Speaker 3: everyone crashes, kids melt down, the parents feel foggy and irritable,
[20:31] Speaker 3: so decision making gets worse. So one of my strongest
[20:35] Speaker 3: travel trips tips is actually simple, plan your nutrition like it.
[20:39] Speaker 3: It matters because it does. Pack protein, bring electrolyte support,
[20:43] Speaker 3: keep nuts, fruit, jerky or cleaner snacks on hand. Hydrate
[20:48] Speaker 3: before you're thirsty. A well fed family is a more
[20:52] Speaker 3: emotionally stable family, if you will. That's not just parenting wisdom,
[20:56] Speaker 3: that's physiology. So let me leave you with my blueprint
[21:00] Speaker 3: for low stress vacationing. First, use a single location base
[21:04] Speaker 3: whenever possible, unpack just once, stay put. Every hotel hop
[21:09] Speaker 3: keeps that brain in a go mode. And second, build
[21:12] Speaker 3: in true rest days, days where when nobody is allowed
[21:15] Speaker 3: to look at the schedule, no alarms, no reservations, no chasing,
[21:19] Speaker 3: just rest as is not necessarily laziness. Rest is recovery.
[21:23] Speaker 3: And third, handle your nutrition on purpose, protein, hydration, minerals,
[21:28] Speaker 3: simple snacks, and less sugar chaos. Those three moves alone
[21:32] Speaker 3: can dramatically lower travel stress and protect the health benefits
[21:36] Speaker 3: of your trip because the goal is not to just
[21:39] Speaker 3: be on the go. The goal is to come back
[21:42] Speaker 3: feeling more like yourself. Protect your energy, protect your patients,
[21:46] Speaker 3: protect your summer, and take control of your vacation before
[21:49] Speaker 3: it takes control of you. All Right, folks, we're coming
[21:52] Speaker 3: up on a break. When we come back, we'll get
[21:54] Speaker 3: to our health mystery of the week. You're listening to
[21:57] Speaker 3: the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
[22:01] Speaker 5: Anybody's called fame mistakes, but everybody's got a choice to make.
[22:07] Speaker 2: Everybody needs to.
[22:08] Speaker 6: Leave the faith.
[22:10] Speaker 3: Monny taking yours money, you infus, Welcome back. You're tuned
[22:21] Speaker 3: into the Doctor Bob Martin Show, and I'm doctor Adam Brockman.
[22:24] Speaker 3: You're a copilot on this journey to vibrant living. Before
[22:27] Speaker 3: we jump back in today's conversation, here's your friendly reminder
[22:31] Speaker 3: to stay connected with us. I want you to follow
[22:33] Speaker 3: us on Instagram, Facebook, and we even have a YouTube channel,
[22:37] Speaker 3: and that's for your daily wellness tips, breaking health news
[22:40] Speaker 3: in a community that's as passionate about health as you are.
[22:44] Speaker 3: All you got to do is search for the Doctor
[22:45] Speaker 3: Bob Martin Show or Health Talk America and find us
[22:48] Speaker 3: on your favorite platform and join in the conversation. And remember,
[22:52] Speaker 3: if you've got pressing health questions, we're just a phone
[22:54] Speaker 3: call away at eight hundred six zero six eighty two
[22:57] Speaker 3: to two. That's eight hundred six zero six eight eight
[23:00] Speaker 3: to two to two. Okay. I want to tell you
[23:02] Speaker 3: something that this doctor, my entire family, in most of
[23:06] Speaker 3: my healthcare colleagues who are interested in avoiding tooth decay
[23:10] Speaker 3: or gingivitis, paradontal disease and bad breath use the Spray
[23:14] Speaker 3: dental defense system. And I'm here to tell you why.
[23:17] Speaker 3: If you want a spotless checkup to the dental provider,
[23:20] Speaker 3: here's what I do to be my own best dental
[23:23] Speaker 3: hygienist and dentist. Most of the time, I brush my
[23:26] Speaker 3: teeth with spry toothpaste. I rinse my mouth with Spry
[23:29] Speaker 3: mouth rents and I chew Spry gum. Spry comes in
[23:33] Speaker 3: delicious flavors including peppermint, cinnamon, and spearmint. In the secret sauce,
[23:38] Speaker 3: which is not really a secret anymore because of the
[23:40] Speaker 3: research in the science behind it is xylotol. It's used
[23:44] Speaker 3: by millions of Spry users. Xylotol. It's a plant based
[23:48] Speaker 3: ingredient in the Spray Dental Defense system. And again that's
[23:52] Speaker 3: their toothpaste, their mouth rents, their gum, and they're mints,
[23:55] Speaker 3: and xylotol is anti cavity, it's anti plaque, and it's
[23:58] Speaker 3: anti bad news. The next time your dentis peers into
[24:01] Speaker 3: your mouth and whispers, what have you been using your
[24:05] Speaker 3: teeth and gums? They look great? You can tell your
[24:08] Speaker 3: dentists that you have been using the Spray Dental Defense system.
[24:11] Speaker 3: And it's an easy and it's an inexpensive way to
[24:14] Speaker 3: have the benefits of xylotol throughout the day without needing
[24:17] Speaker 3: to change your habits. So if you want that squeaky
[24:20] Speaker 3: clean teeth gums in your breath, then use the Spray
[24:24] Speaker 3: Dental Defense system and Spray Dental Defense is available at CVS, Target,
[24:29] Speaker 3: Vitamin Shop, Sprouts in all natural grocers' locations everywhere where
[24:34] Speaker 3: you're already shopping. And for more information go to Clear
[24:37] Speaker 3: dot com. That's x l e ar dot com. You
[24:41] Speaker 3: can find out about Spry and Clear as well. Clear
[24:45] Speaker 3: the nasal sprays which you should try and have in
[24:47] Speaker 3: your wellness arsenal too. And again that's the spray dental
[24:51] Speaker 3: defense system in Clear nasal Sprays. Okay, it's time for
[24:55] Speaker 3: our natural grocer's health alternative of the week. Now. Usually
[25:19] Speaker 3: when people hear health alternative, they think of a new
[25:22] Speaker 3: supplement or real food that they should try that I'm
[25:25] Speaker 3: going to tell you about. But today I want to
[25:27] Speaker 3: talk about a fundamental shift in your environment. I want
[25:31] Speaker 3: to talk about where you spend your saturdays and where
[25:34] Speaker 3: your hard earned money goes every single week, and that's
[25:37] Speaker 3: the grocery store. And if you've been listening to me
[25:40] Speaker 3: for a while, you know I'm a dad doctor. I've
[25:44] Speaker 3: got the health degrees and the clinical experience, but I've
[25:48] Speaker 3: also got the chaotic reality of raising kids and trying
[25:51] Speaker 3: to keep a household running without losing my sanity. And
[25:56] Speaker 3: let's be honest, the modern supermarket is a minefield. It's
[26:00] Speaker 3: an absolute gauntlet of marketing traps, neon colored toxins in
[26:05] Speaker 3: food like products designed to hijack your brain chemistry. That's
[26:09] Speaker 3: why my health alternative of the week is a simple
[26:13] Speaker 3: strategic pivot, and that's making a dedicated family stop to
[26:17] Speaker 3: a natural grocer's grocery store. And most people, they don't
[26:21] Speaker 3: realize that where you shop is actually one of the
[26:25] Speaker 3: most significant health choices you can make. We focus on
[26:28] Speaker 3: the what, but the where determines the what is available.
[26:33] Speaker 3: And when you walk into a conventional big box grocery store,
[26:37] Speaker 3: you're stepping into a space where roughly eighty percent of
[26:40] Speaker 3: the itemans on the shelf, they're ultra processed. We're talking
[26:44] Speaker 3: about staggering levels of refined sugars, inflammatory seed oils, in
[26:49] Speaker 3: a literal rainbow of synthetic dyes that have no business
[26:53] Speaker 3: being in the human body. So, as a longevity expert,
[26:57] Speaker 3: I look at the grocery store and I see a
[26:59] Speaker 3: landscape of chronic inflammation. And when you buy conventional produce,
[27:04] Speaker 3: you're often just getting a side of glycasate in pesticides
[27:08] Speaker 3: that are devastating to our gut, microbiome and our hormonal balance.
[27:13] Speaker 3: And when you buy standard dairy, you're often consuming milk
[27:17] Speaker 3: from cows that have never seen a blade of grass.
[27:20] Speaker 3: It's exhausting, isn't it? And as a parent, you have
[27:23] Speaker 3: to be on high alert every second. You're playing defense
[27:27] Speaker 3: against big food marketing machine that puts the brightest, most
[27:31] Speaker 3: sugar laden boxes right at your child's eye level. So
[27:35] Speaker 3: why am I pointing you towards natural Grocers Because they
[27:38] Speaker 3: do the heavy lifting for you in a world where
[27:42] Speaker 3: labels are designed to deceive. Natural Grocers has set a
[27:45] Speaker 3: standard that is frankly unheard of in an industry. And
[27:49] Speaker 3: they've been doing this since nineteen fifty five, long before
[27:53] Speaker 3: organic was a buzzword or a marketing trend. And let's
[27:57] Speaker 3: talk about the one hundred percent rule. This is the
[28:00] Speaker 3: cornerstone of why this is our health altern Above the week,
[28:04] Speaker 3: at Natural Grocers, you will find one hundred percent organic produce, period,
[28:09] Speaker 3: No dirty conventional apples sitting next to the organic ones,
[28:14] Speaker 3: no confusing signage. If it's in the produce department, it's
[28:18] Speaker 3: organic at natural Grocers. And why does this matter for
[28:21] Speaker 3: your longevity? Because studies show that organic produce contains significantly
[28:27] Speaker 3: higher levels of antioxidants, the very compounds that protect yourselves
[28:31] Speaker 3: from oxidative stress and aging. Plus there you're going to
[28:36] Speaker 3: go ahead and cut out the chemical load that taxes
[28:38] Speaker 3: your liver and disrupts your indocrine system with those synthetic pesticides.
[28:42] Speaker 3: For a busy parent, the one hundred percent organic policy
[28:46] Speaker 3: means that you can breathe a sigh of relief. You
[28:49] Speaker 3: don't have to check a list and see what's on
[28:51] Speaker 3: the dirty dozen this year. You just put it in
[28:54] Speaker 3: your cart at natural Grocers. And I want to share
[28:57] Speaker 3: a personal antidote here. If you've ever taken kids to
[29:00] Speaker 3: a traditional grocery store, you know the no loop. Dad.
[29:05] Speaker 3: Can I have this cereal with a cartoon vampire? No Dad?
[29:09] Speaker 3: Can I have these neon blue fruit snacks? No? Dad?
[29:14] Speaker 3: What about the soda? No? No, no. It's a battle
[29:18] Speaker 3: of wills that leaves everyone frustrated. But when I take
[29:21] Speaker 3: my kids to natural grocers, the vibe changes because the
[29:25] Speaker 3: store has already been vetted to every single item, and
[29:29] Speaker 3: they've looked for artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, and hygenated oils,
[29:34] Speaker 3: so you can finally say yes. The health alternative here
[29:39] Speaker 3: isn't just about the nutrients. It's about the mental health
[29:42] Speaker 3: of the family. My kids can pick out a snack
[29:45] Speaker 3: and I know it's not going to be loaded with
[29:47] Speaker 3: red forty or high fruitose corn syrup. We're talking about
[29:51] Speaker 3: a yes zone. That shift is in the family dynamic
[29:55] Speaker 3: as well, where healthy choices are the only choices. It's
[29:59] Speaker 3: a game changer for long term lifestyle success. And we
[30:03] Speaker 3: often think of longevity as something we do at the
[30:05] Speaker 3: doctor's office or in the gym, but longevity is built
[30:09] Speaker 3: in the kitchen. It's built in the choices that we
[30:11] Speaker 3: make at four point thirty pm on a Tuesday when
[30:14] Speaker 3: we're tired and we just need to get dinner on
[30:17] Speaker 3: the table. And at Natural Grocers they even offer the
[30:21] Speaker 3: Good for You Meal Deal, which is a lifesaver for
[30:24] Speaker 3: families on a budget. You can get a full, healthy,
[30:27] Speaker 3: organic meal for a family of four at a price
[30:30] Speaker 3: that rivals fast food. That is how we fight back
[30:33] Speaker 3: against the health crisis in the country by making the
[30:37] Speaker 3: right choice, the easy and affordable choice. So there you
[30:41] Speaker 3: have it. Your health is your greatest asset, your family's
[30:44] Speaker 3: health is as well, and your grocery cart is your
[30:46] Speaker 3: primary insurance policy. Protect your longevity, Protect your kids development
[30:50] Speaker 3: and take control of what crosses that threshold. This has
[30:54] Speaker 3: been your health alternative of the week, and that is
[30:56] Speaker 3: a family trip to natural grocers. Are you tired of
[31:02] Speaker 3: swallowing handfuls of pills just to cover nutrition basics. The

[33:19] Speaker 3: the Doctor Bob Martin Show, America's number one health talk
[33:22] Speaker 3: radio program. And before we get into our health outrage
[33:26] Speaker 3: this week, I want to remind you that your wellness

[33:32] Speaker 3: team is always available at eight hundred six zero six

[33:56] Speaker 3: word doctor d O C t R bob dot com.
[34:00] Speaker 3: Now let's get back into our conversation today with our
[34:04] Speaker 3: health outrage of the week. Jeez, come on each tub
[34:13] Speaker 3: for the health Bridge, because it's nothing, Bud. I want
[34:23] Speaker 3: you to imagine walking out your front porch on a
[34:26] Speaker 3: very hot July afternoon. You're holding a cold, sweating can
[34:31] Speaker 3: of diet coke. You look down at some stubborn crab
[34:35] Speaker 3: grass that's growing in your driveway, and instead of reaching
[34:39] Speaker 3: for round up, you crack the tab and you pour
[34:42] Speaker 3: the brown, bubbly liquid that is diet coke right onto
[34:46] Speaker 3: the weeds. Now, imagine watching the grass wither and die,
[34:51] Speaker 3: then turning to your neighbor and saying, hey, you see that.
[34:55] Speaker 3: If that can do that to the lawn, imagine what
[34:57] Speaker 3: it's doing to tumors. Sounds like a punchline from a
[35:02] Speaker 3: late night comedy skit, if you will, But this isn't
[35:06] Speaker 3: a joke. It's the latest entry into our health outrage
[35:10] Speaker 3: of the week. We are talking about a claim so
[35:13] Speaker 3: scientifically backwards that it has the entire medical community doing
[35:17] Speaker 3: a collective double take. And if you missed Doctor Bob
[35:21] Speaker 3: and I discussing this earlier on the show, it deserves
[35:26] Speaker 3: a double take of its own. That's why it is
[35:29] Speaker 3: this week's health outrage. And this is what it is.
[35:34] Speaker 3: Recently on Donald Trump Junior's podcast, Doctor Ozrey Canada story
[35:39] Speaker 3: about President Donald Trump. According to doctor Oz, Trump maintains
[35:45] Speaker 3: a unique health theory regarding this well documented love for
[35:49] Speaker 3: diet coke. In the theory, because diet coke is so
[35:54] Speaker 3: strong it can kill grass, it must effectively kill cancer
[35:59] Speaker 3: cells inside the human body. So I want to go
[36:01] Speaker 3: ahead and play this clip for you.
[36:03] Speaker 5: He'll first start off with candy bars, that little candy jar,
[36:06] Speaker 5: he'll call it. He'll hit the red button, and then
[36:08] Speaker 5: comes the diet soda pops, which is your dad argues
[36:11] Speaker 5: that diet soda is good for him because it kills grass.
[36:15] Speaker 5: It's poured on grass, so therefore must kill cancer cells
[36:18] Speaker 5: inside the body. So he'll try to please I'm not
[36:21] Speaker 5: even going to argue this right now.
[36:22] Speaker 2: You know.
[36:22] Speaker 5: We were on Air Force one the other day and
[36:24] Speaker 5: I walk in there because he wants to talk about something,
[36:26] Speaker 5: and he's got an orange soft drink on his desk. Fanta, Yes,
[36:31] Speaker 5: that's what. I don't want to say that brand name
[36:32] Speaker 5: on the podcast. He's got a Fanta on the desk,
[36:35] Speaker 5: and I say, are you kidding me? So he starts
[36:37] Speaker 5: to take sheep persty grin. He goes, you know, this
[36:38] Speaker 5: sounds good for me. He kills cancerselves and then and
[36:41] Speaker 5: then he tells me it's fresh squeezed, so how.
[36:43] Speaker 3: Bad could it be for you? Okay, okay, but then
[36:48] Speaker 3: maybe he's onto something.
[36:49] Speaker 6: Because I will say this, I know a lot of
[36:51] Speaker 6: guys pushing eighty and.
[36:53] Speaker 3: Yeah, I will give him. Maddie isn't in good shape
[36:55] Speaker 3: for eighty. But folks, I've heard some creative health in
[37:00] Speaker 3: my time. I've seen people try to cure back pain
[37:03] Speaker 3: with magnets and treat the flu with onions in their socks.
[37:07] Speaker 3: But this one takes the cake, or rather, it takes
[37:11] Speaker 3: the soda. So let's go ahead and uncover why this
[37:14] Speaker 3: logic is more than just a quirky antidote. It's a
[37:17] Speaker 3: dangerous piece of misinformation that could lead people away from
[37:22] Speaker 3: actual healthy practices. So let's start with this logic itself,
[37:26] Speaker 3: the idea that if X is killed by this, it
[37:30] Speaker 3: must be good to also kill Why that's a staggering
[37:33] Speaker 3: oversimplification of human biology. Yes, if you pour a highly acidic,
[37:39] Speaker 3: chemical laden liquid onto a plant, the plant is going
[37:42] Speaker 3: to have a bad day. Plants are sensitive pH changes
[37:46] Speaker 3: in certain concentrated salts. But the human body is not
[37:50] Speaker 3: a garden bed. So when you ingest diet coke, it
[37:54] Speaker 3: doesn't just float around your bloodstream looking for cancer cells
[37:58] Speaker 3: to burn like a weed killer. It goes through your
[38:01] Speaker 3: digestive track and interacts with your gut microbiome, and it
[38:04] Speaker 3: hits your liver. The strength of the chemicals doesn't translate
[38:08] Speaker 3: to a targeted strike against malignancy. And in fact, if
[38:12] Speaker 3: we follow the logic that things that kill things are
[38:16] Speaker 3: good for us, we'd be drinking battery, acid and bleached
[38:20] Speaker 3: to stay healthy. And please, please do not do that. Now,
[38:25] Speaker 3: let's pivot to the antidote that's actual science, because this
[38:29] Speaker 3: is where it gets troubling. While some claim diet coke
[38:32] Speaker 3: is a secret weapon against disease, the International Agency for
[38:36] Speaker 3: Cancer Research, which is part of the World Health Organization,
[38:40] Speaker 3: has a different take. In twenty twenty three, they officially
[38:44] Speaker 3: labeled the primary sweetener in diet coke as a possible carcinogen.
[38:50] Speaker 3: And now, before we panic, possible means that evidence is limited,
[38:54] Speaker 3: but it's certainly not non existent. When about eighty percent
[38:59] Speaker 3: of the modern diet is already filled with process junk,
[39:01] Speaker 3: adding another possible carcinogen under the guise of a being
[39:06] Speaker 3: a health food is an absolute outrage. So the irony
[39:10] Speaker 3: here is very thick. Promoting a substance that is literally
[39:14] Speaker 3: being study for a potential to cause cancer as a
[39:17] Speaker 3: cure for cancer is wild. That's why I do believe
[39:22] Speaker 3: this is President President Trump just joking on the matter matter.
[39:27] Speaker 3: So again, you know these are the things that you know.
[39:30] Speaker 3: Don't let that grass logic full you. Cancer prevention isn't
[39:33] Speaker 3: found in a vending machine. It's found in the daily
[39:35] Speaker 3: choices you make, eating whole food, manage your stress, and
[39:39] Speaker 3: keep your body moving. So I want to stick to
[39:42] Speaker 3: real water, keep your gut healthy, and for the love
[39:45] Speaker 3: of all things, keep the diet coke on your lawn
[39:48] Speaker 3: if you must, but keep it out of your bloodstream.
[39:51] Speaker 3: All right, folks, this has been your health outrage of
[39:53] Speaker 3: the week. We'll be right back. You're listening to the
[39:56] Speaker 3: Doctor Bob Martin show. Hi, it's doctor Adam Brockman. We
[40:07] Speaker 3: talk about health every week. When your joints hurt, everything hurts,
[40:11] Speaker 3: you lose that freedom to move and bend and stretch
[40:14] Speaker 3: and do the things you love. And that's why I
[40:16] Speaker 3: want to tell you about something truly special, and that's
[40:19] Speaker 3: APEX joint minerals. This isn't another gimmick or quick fix.
[40:23] Speaker 3: It's a mineral complex and it's inspired by a discovery
[40:26] Speaker 3: high in the Sierra Mountains, and it's minerals that your
[40:29] Speaker 3: body actually recognizes and uses to restore joint flexibility and comfort.
[40:34] Speaker 3: And what makes APEX Joint Minerals different is it's science
[40:38] Speaker 3: seeing what happens when people give their joints the nutrients
[40:41] Speaker 3: they've been missing and they get their life back. And
[40:44] Speaker 3: that's what I want for you. So if you're ready
[40:45] Speaker 3: to move freely again, go to Jointminerals dot com or

[41:48] Speaker 3: zero six eight eight two to two, and we're here
[41:50] Speaker 3: with the final segment of our show. So let's go
[41:53] Speaker 3: ahead and get into it with our health mystery of
[41:55] Speaker 3: the week. This week, let's talk about Julie. Julie was
[42:03] Speaker 3: a thirty eight year old mother of two, a former
[42:05] Speaker 3: college athlete who pride to herself in staying fit. But
[42:09] Speaker 3: about three years ago, she developed this nagging, persistent cough.
[42:13] Speaker 3: It wasn't a cold cough, it was a dry, hacking
[42:16] Speaker 3: sound that showed up about every time she exerted herself.
[42:20] Speaker 3: She went to her primary care physician and they did
[42:23] Speaker 3: what most do. They gave her an inhaler and told
[42:26] Speaker 3: her that she had adult onset asthma. But the inhaler
[42:30] Speaker 3: didn't work. In fact, things got worse. For two years,
[42:34] Speaker 3: Julie lived in a state of constant air hunger. She
[42:37] Speaker 3: described it as trying to breathe through a tiny plastic
[42:40] Speaker 3: cocktail straw while trying to run a marathon. She couldn't
[42:44] Speaker 3: play tag with her kids. She couldn't walk upstairs without
[42:47] Speaker 3: pausing to catch her breath. She went back to the
[42:50] Speaker 3: clinic four times. One doctor told her it was anxiety.
[42:53] Speaker 3: Another said she was just out of shape and needed
[42:56] Speaker 3: to lose about ten pounds. So imagine that you're being
[42:59] Speaker 3: told that you're just it's lazy when you literally can't
[43:02] Speaker 3: breathe and you're suffocating. The turning point came when Julie
[43:05] Speaker 3: saw a nurse practitioner for a routine checkup. The NP
[43:09] Speaker 3: actually listened to the sound of Julie's breath. It wasn't
[43:12] Speaker 3: from a wheeze from the lines. It was a high
[43:15] Speaker 3: pitched strider coming from her neck, so she ordered a scope.
[43:19] Speaker 3: When the camera came down, the mystery was solved. Julie
[43:23] Speaker 3: had idiopathic subglottal stenosis. Her airway, which should have been
[43:28] Speaker 3: the size of a nickel, was narrowed by a thick
[43:32] Speaker 3: ring of scar tissue. It was about seventy five percent blocked.
[43:36] Speaker 3: She wasn't having an asthma attack. She was trying to
[43:40] Speaker 3: force life giving air through a hole the size of
[43:44] Speaker 3: a toothpick. So the lesson to hear is simple, don't
[43:47] Speaker 3: let your symptoms be dismissed. If you feel like you
[43:50] Speaker 3: can't breathe, it's just a cough or it's just stress.
[43:54] Speaker 3: Isn't a good enough answer, You know your body better
[43:57] Speaker 3: than any chart does. All right, so we're just about
[44:02] Speaker 3: out of time for today's show. I want to thank
