[1:46] Speaker 3: join in the conversation on our social feeds looking up
[1:51] Speaker 3: health Talk America or the Doctor Bob Martin Show. We
[1:55] Speaker 3: are the home of the health alternative of the week
[1:58] Speaker 3: that's coming up a little later in the hour in
[2:01] Speaker 3: the only place where we are looking at the latest
[2:05] Speaker 3: breakthroughs through the lens of common sense. Today we're going
[2:10] Speaker 3: to see if the dadbod is the look us fellas
[2:12] Speaker 3: should strive for. That it's going to come up a
[2:16] Speaker 3: little bit later in the hour, but first we're going
[2:18] Speaker 3: to dive into our health headlines that are shaking up
[2:21] Speaker 3: the wellness world this week. So let's go ahead get
[2:24] Speaker 3: into our health headlines of the week. The wires are
[2:37] Speaker 3: buzzing with the news that a pvvac PS vaccine, the
[2:43] Speaker 3: first ever vaccine designed entirely by artificial intelligence, has cleared
[2:49] Speaker 3: the phase one human trials. Researchers at the University of
[2:53] Speaker 3: Cambridge in Southampton didn't just tweak an old formula. They
[2:58] Speaker 3: let computer analysis and analyzed thousands of viral sequences to
[3:04] Speaker 3: create a super anigen designed to protect against every coronavirus
[3:09] Speaker 3: from the past, the present, and even the future. Batspills
[3:14] Speaker 3: we haven't met yet. And this trial involved healthy adults
[3:19] Speaker 3: and used a needle free micro fluid jet device, so
[3:23] Speaker 3: no needles, no code talk, just this high speed fluid
[3:27] Speaker 3: pushing a DNA plasmid into your system. So you know,
[3:32] Speaker 3: I'm all for innovation, but let's be real. We are
[3:34] Speaker 3: now outsourcing our immune education to an algorithm. The scientists,
[3:41] Speaker 3: they say this is a milestone, and sure from a
[3:43] Speaker 3: technology standpoint, it's impressive, but here's the rub. The trial
[3:49] Speaker 3: showed that while the vaccine was safe, the actual immune
[3:53] Speaker 3: response was described as modest but variable. So the translation
[3:58] Speaker 3: the AI is smart, but it still hasn't figured out
[4:02] Speaker 3: the infinite complexity of the human immune system. So we're
[4:07] Speaker 3: trying to build a digital wall against nature. But nature
[4:11] Speaker 3: has been playing this game for millions of years. Instead
[4:15] Speaker 3: of waiting for a computer to tell your body how
[4:18] Speaker 3: to react, why aren't we talking about the ancient wisdom
[4:22] Speaker 3: of priming the terrain. So if your internal environment is
[4:26] Speaker 3: a swamp, there's no amount of AI designed superantigens that
[4:30] Speaker 3: are going to save you. We need to stop treating
[4:33] Speaker 3: our bodies like a fortress under siege and start treat
[4:36] Speaker 3: them like a vibrant living system. That it is. AI
[4:42] Speaker 3: is a tool, it's not a savior. So let's keep
[4:45] Speaker 3: focusing on making that host. And that's you healthy. Too
[4:50] Speaker 3: healthy if you will to be a hospital home for
[4:55] Speaker 3: a virus in the first place. Next step we have
[4:58] Speaker 3: if you've been told that your bone on bone and
[5:02] Speaker 3: your only future is a titanium joint, hold the phone.
[5:06] Speaker 3: Stanford scientists have discovered a way to actually regrow lost
[5:11] Speaker 3: to cartilage by inhibiting an enzyme called fifteen pg DH.
[5:18] Speaker 3: They're talking about its level skyrocket as we age, basically
[5:23] Speaker 3: acting like a dimmer switch on our body's natural repair
[5:26] Speaker 3: mechanisms in mouse studies. In human tissue samples, blocking this
[5:31] Speaker 3: enzyme didn't just slow the rot. It actually grew back thick,
[5:36] Speaker 3: functional highland cartilage. And this is huge. This is exactly
[5:41] Speaker 3: that ancient wisdom meets modern technology. For decades, the joint
[5:46] Speaker 3: replacement industry has been this multi billion dollar juggernaut, and
[5:51] Speaker 3: their solution wait until it's broken, then cut it out
[5:54] Speaker 3: and replace it with a hinge, basically from a hardware store.
[5:59] Speaker 3: But Stanford is proving what we've been saying on the
[6:03] Speaker 3: show for years. The body has an incredible and innate
[6:06] Speaker 3: capacity for restoration if you give it the right interference
[6:11] Speaker 3: and you remove that chemical interference and much the same
[6:16] Speaker 3: way we discuss regenda medicine on the show often, and
[6:19] Speaker 3: by inhibiting this enzyme, this fifteen PGDH, they are essentially
[6:25] Speaker 3: unlocking the body's own repair shop. We're talking about a
[6:29] Speaker 3: future where a simple injection or even a pill could
[6:33] Speaker 3: potentially render the total knee replacement obsolete. It's about vitality,
[6:39] Speaker 3: not just maintenance. And now we're still a few years
[6:42] Speaker 3: out from this being in your local clinic, but the
[6:45] Speaker 3: fact that science is finally looking at regeneration instead of replacement,
[6:50] Speaker 3: it's a massive win for anyone who wants to stay
[6:53] Speaker 3: active into their nineties. So once you keep an eye
[6:56] Speaker 3: on this one, it could be a game changer for
[6:59] Speaker 3: the law longevity community. All Right, we got some new
[7:03] Speaker 3: data from the Active six trial involving nearly three thousand adults,
[7:09] Speaker 3: and it's thrown the spotlight back on a dirt, cheap,
[7:12] Speaker 3: old school diabetes drug. We're talking met Foreman. While it
[7:17] Speaker 3: didn't hit the high bar for curing every symptom, the
[7:20] Speaker 3: data showed that starting met Foreman early during a COVID
[7:24] Speaker 3: infection cut the risk of the long COVID diagnosis by
[7:28] Speaker 3: staggering fifty percent. So I like it when an old
[7:33] Speaker 3: dog learns new tricks. Met Foreman has been around forever,
[7:38] Speaker 3: and why it does work here, it's because it's targeting
[7:42] Speaker 3: that metabolic health. It's not some fancy, high priced miracle drug.
[7:47] Speaker 3: It's a tool that helps manage blood sugar and inflammation.
[7:51] Speaker 3: So this trial proves that the better your metabolic health,
[7:56] Speaker 3: the better your chances of bouncing back. Here's the provocative part.
[8:02] Speaker 3: Why do we need a pharmaceutical shortcut for metabolic health?
[8:06] Speaker 3: If you're following the complete wellness principles we talk about
[8:11] Speaker 3: lowering your sugar, moving your body, and keeping your insulin sensitive,
[8:17] Speaker 3: you're already doing what met Forman tries to do. So
[8:21] Speaker 3: we're seeing a fifty percent reduction in long COVID because
[8:24] Speaker 3: the drug is forcing the body to do what it
[8:27] Speaker 3: should be doing normally and naturally. It's another example of
[8:32] Speaker 3: modern science validating the fact that your metabolism is the
[8:36] Speaker 3: foundation of your entire health house. So don't just wait
[8:40] Speaker 3: for a prescription, fix that foundation now. And finally, we
[8:46] Speaker 3: have MIT just unveiled a sensor the size of a
[8:50] Speaker 3: blueberry that allows you to track your core body temperature
[8:55] Speaker 3: with precision accuracy. It uses transistion leakage current to SIP power,
[9:03] Speaker 3: meaning it can live inside you for days be mean
[9:07] Speaker 3: data to an external antenna. It's the ultimate biohacking toy
[9:12] Speaker 3: for those who want to know everything happening under the hood.
[9:16] Speaker 3: So we know that we're obsessed with data folks, right,
[9:21] Speaker 3: We've got watches that track our sleep, we have rains
[9:24] Speaker 3: that track our heart rate, and now a blueberry the
[9:30] Speaker 3: size of this instrument here that tracks our guts. But
[9:35] Speaker 3: here's my question, at what point does all this data
[9:39] Speaker 3: start to become a distraction. Now, don't get me wrong,
[9:43] Speaker 3: knowing your core temperature for fertility or infection monitoring is
[9:48] Speaker 3: cool technology. But we're becoming a society that knows our
[9:54] Speaker 3: leakage current statistics but can't tell when we're actually hungry
[9:59] Speaker 3: are tired or stressed without an app telling us so.
[10:03] Speaker 3: So you're not this collection of data points. You are
[10:07] Speaker 3: a living, breathing entity. So use the technology to learn,
[10:12] Speaker 3: but you know, don't replace it with your intuition and
[10:17] Speaker 3: what you know you should be doing. The ancient wisdom
[10:20] Speaker 3: part of you already knows how to feel. We don't
[10:23] Speaker 3: need a sensor to tell us we need more sleep
[10:26] Speaker 3: or better food. We just need to listen. Okay, folks,
[10:30] Speaker 3: and we're gonna take a quick break. But when we
[10:32] Speaker 3: come back, we're gonna talk about dad bots. You're listening
[10:36] Speaker 3: to help Talk America Presents The Doctor Bob Martin Show,
[10:39] Speaker 3: the show that gives you the tools to take your
[10:42] Speaker 3: help back. Stick around. We'll be right back after these messages.
[10:45] Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere. Doctor Adam Brockman here, you've heard us
[11:02] Speaker 3: say it before. Your mouth is the gateway to your
[11:05] Speaker 3: body's health. But what if your dental problems could actually
[11:08] Speaker 3: be repaired, not just patched. If you're struggling with painful gums,
[11:14] Speaker 3: jawbone loss, implant failure, are chronic dental infections, don't settle
[11:18] Speaker 3: for more drilling or medications that just mask the problem.
[11:22] Speaker 3: At American Holistic Care Center. Healing starts from the inside out.

[12:25] Speaker 3: you're just joining us, I want you to buckle up
[12:27] Speaker 3: because we're about to strip the cute factor right off
[12:31] Speaker 3: a health trend in this modern world. We're talking about
[12:35] Speaker 3: the dadbod. You've seen the memes, you've you've heard the jokes.
[12:40] Speaker 3: Maybe you're even patting your own spare tire right now
[12:44] Speaker 3: thinking it's a badge of fatherhood and maybe it's just
[12:47] Speaker 3: too many Sunday barbecues. Well, I'm here to tell you
[12:51] Speaker 3: that that badge is actually a biological time bomb. It's
[12:56] Speaker 3: not just a wardrobe challenge, it's a bio has that's
[13:00] Speaker 3: sitting right in your gut. And Folks, if you want
[13:05] Speaker 3: to join in the conversation, which is always welcome, I

[13:36] Speaker 3: zero six eight a two two eight hundred six zero
[13:39] Speaker 3: six eight eight two two. Okay, let's go ahead and
[13:42] Speaker 3: get into this conversation. We live in a culture that
[13:47] Speaker 3: loves to sugarcoat the truth, literally and figuratively. We've rebranded
[13:54] Speaker 3: the beginning of a metabolic collapse as the dad Bob.
[13:58] Speaker 3: It sounds soft, sounds approachable, and maybe even a little
[14:03] Speaker 3: bit charming. But while the world is busy normalizing the
[14:08] Speaker 3: expanding waistline, your heart is in the corner that's silently
[14:14] Speaker 3: screaming for help. When you look in the mirror and
[14:17] Speaker 3: you see that protrusion over your belt. You aren't just
[14:22] Speaker 3: looking at extra energy storage. You're looking at a biological hazard.
[14:27] Speaker 3: That belly fat isn't passive. It's not just sitting there.
[14:32] Speaker 3: It's an active, aggressive, and highly toxic extra tissue that
[14:37] Speaker 3: is hijacking your internal system. And here's the truth. Every
[14:43] Speaker 3: single extra inch on your waistline is a direct hit
[14:47] Speaker 3: to your longevity. Research shows that every additional two inches
[14:51] Speaker 3: on your waist, your cardiovascular risk for disease jumps by
[14:57] Speaker 3: a staggering ten percent. And that's not just a ma
[15:00] Speaker 3: that's a metabolic tax that you're paying every single day.
[15:05] Speaker 3: Most people they think of fat as just a storage
[15:09] Speaker 3: locker for excess calories. That's the old way of thinking.
[15:13] Speaker 3: Modern science tells us what we've been saying on the
[15:17] Speaker 3: show for years, that visceral fat is an indocrient organ.
[15:22] Speaker 3: Unlike the pinchable fat that's under your skin, that subcutaneous fat,
[15:28] Speaker 3: visceral fat is packed deep inside your abdominal cavity and
[15:32] Speaker 3: it wraps itself like a parasitic vine around your liver,
[15:36] Speaker 3: and you're pancreas and your intestines and your other organs.
[15:40] Speaker 3: And here's where it gets scary. It's a high output
[15:45] Speaker 3: factory for inflammation. This dad Bod factory is churning out
[15:51] Speaker 3: a cocktail of destructive cytokins. Specifically, it's dumping interleaking six
[15:58] Speaker 3: in tumor necrosi factor alpha into your bloodstream. Those aren't
[16:04] Speaker 3: just fancy scientific words. They are the matches that start
[16:09] Speaker 3: the fire of systemic inflammation. This chronic, low grade inflammation
[16:15] Speaker 3: is the root cause of almost every disease of the
[16:19] Speaker 3: civilization that we face today, from Alzheimer's to type two diabetes.
[16:24] Speaker 3: And when your internal organs are marinating in this toxic swamp,
[16:29] Speaker 3: they can't function. Your liver starts to get fatty, your
[16:34] Speaker 3: pancreas struggles to manage insulin, and your blood vessels begin
[16:39] Speaker 3: to lose their elasticity. You aren't just carrying a little
[16:42] Speaker 3: extra weight. You're hosting a hostile takeover. So let's start
[16:47] Speaker 3: by talking about the engine. Your heart was designed to
[16:51] Speaker 3: pump blood through this sleek, efficient system. But when you've
[16:55] Speaker 3: got a visceral fat biohazard, in a way, it's like
[16:59] Speaker 3: trying to a high performance sports car through a muddy swamp,
[17:03] Speaker 3: which is not gonna happen. So this Dad bod, it's
[17:07] Speaker 3: the primary driver of athrosclerosis, and that is the hardening
[17:11] Speaker 3: and the narrowing of your arteries. These inflammatory side of
[17:15] Speaker 3: kins that we're talking about, they act like sandpaper on
[17:19] Speaker 3: that delicate interlining of these arteries, and it creates tiny
[17:23] Speaker 3: tears where black can easily take hold. And it's not
[17:27] Speaker 3: just about the plumbing. Visceral fat actually produces a precursor
[17:32] Speaker 3: to a hormone that's called angotenson. And while the stuff
[17:38] Speaker 3: tells your blood vessels to constrict, that's what angiotestin does.
[17:43] Speaker 3: And when these vessels constrict, your blood pressure goes through
[17:47] Speaker 3: the room. This is why the circumference of your dominal
[17:51] Speaker 3: cavity is one of the single best predictors of cardiovascular death.
[17:56] Speaker 3: Regardless of what the scale says, you can have a
[17:59] Speaker 3: normal and still be at high risk if the fat
[18:03] Speaker 3: is concentrated in your gut. We call this TFI. Then
[18:08] Speaker 3: on the outside, fat on the inside. Okay, So guys,
[18:13] Speaker 3: I want you to listen up because this part is
[18:16] Speaker 3: where it's really gonna hurt. That spare tire isn't just
[18:20] Speaker 3: killing your heart, it's stealing your manhood. Visceral fat is
[18:25] Speaker 3: the primary site for an enzyme called aromo taste. And
[18:30] Speaker 3: what does aroma taste do. It takes your heart earned
[18:33] Speaker 3: testosterone and it converts it into estrogen. Yes, you heard
[18:37] Speaker 3: that right. Your belly fat is literally turning you into
[18:41] Speaker 3: less of a man on a hormonal level. The evidence
[18:46] Speaker 3: here it creates this vicious download spiral. Low testosterone leads
[18:51] Speaker 3: to more fat gain and especially around the middle, and
[18:55] Speaker 3: more belly fat leads to more aroma tastes, and more
[18:59] Speaker 3: aroma tasees leads to more estrogen and even lower testosterone.
[19:04] Speaker 3: And this is why you feel tired while you start
[19:07] Speaker 3: to lose muscle mass, and why you lost that get
[19:11] Speaker 3: up and go. You're not getting older, You're being hormonally
[19:16] Speaker 3: sabotaged from the inside out thanks to visceral fat. So
[19:21] Speaker 3: what do we do. Do we give up? Do we
[19:24] Speaker 3: just accept the dad bod as this inevitable part of aging.
[19:28] Speaker 3: Absolutely not. On the show, we talk about biohacking your
[19:33] Speaker 3: way to vitality and help. We look at ancient wisdom
[19:38] Speaker 3: of movement and clean eating validated by modern clinical research.
[19:43] Speaker 3: You don't need a reboot, you need restoration. You need
[19:47] Speaker 3: to stop feeding the fire and The fastest way to
[19:50] Speaker 3: shrink the bio hazard is to cut the fuel. That
[19:53] Speaker 3: means refined sugars and processed carbs. Those are the primary
[19:58] Speaker 3: building blocks of visceral fat. So swap the convenience foods
[20:01] Speaker 3: for the protocols that we discuss on the show and
[20:05] Speaker 3: lift some heavy things. Resistance training is the ultimate metabolic medicine.
[20:10] Speaker 3: It increases your insulin sensitivity and it tells your body
[20:14] Speaker 3: to burn fat for fuel instead of storing it around
[20:17] Speaker 3: your organs. And then you need to support your organs,
[20:20] Speaker 3: support your liver. Your liver is the central hub for
[20:23] Speaker 3: fat metabolism and if it's getting clogged up with visceral fat,
[20:28] Speaker 3: you're going to never see the results. Use natural support
[20:32] Speaker 3: like melk thistle and dandelione route to help clear the
[20:36] Speaker 3: factory that is your liver. And monitor don't guess, get
[20:40] Speaker 3: your labs done. Don't just look at the normal ranges,
[20:44] Speaker 3: look for optimal ranges. Check your C reactive protein to
[20:48] Speaker 3: measure systemic inflammation, and you're fasting insulin to see if
[20:53] Speaker 3: you're on the road to that dad bod sentence. So
[20:58] Speaker 3: the dadbod isn't a per personality trait. Yes, your partners
[21:03] Speaker 3: should think you're cute in an extra ten or thirty
[21:06] Speaker 3: pounds in all, but it's still a health concern. But
[21:10] Speaker 3: the good news is that visceral fat is often the
[21:13] Speaker 3: first to go. When you start making the right moves,
[21:16] Speaker 3: you have the power to extinguish the fire, shut down
[21:19] Speaker 3: that toxic factory, and protect your heart and your other organs.
[21:23] Speaker 3: You're not a passenger in your own health journey. You're
[21:26] Speaker 3: the driver. So it's time to stop normalizing the decline
[21:30] Speaker 3: and start prioritizing the restoration of your health. Your family
[21:34] Speaker 3: needs you healthy, your heart needs you, and you deserve
[21:39] Speaker 3: to feel like the high energy man you were meant
[21:42] Speaker 3: to be. All right, we have to step away for
[21:44] Speaker 3: a quick break, but don't go anywhere. When we come back,
[21:47] Speaker 3: we're going to get to our health alternative of the week.
[21:49] Speaker 3: You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show on Health
[21:52] Speaker 3: Talk America. We'll be right back.
[22:01] Speaker 4: Everybody's got mistakes, but everybody's got a choice to make.
[22:07] Speaker 4: Everybody needs to leave the faith.
[22:10] Speaker 3: Monny's taking you use.
[22:13] Speaker 4: Money you in.
[22:14] Speaker 3: Fu Welcome back to help Talk America presents the Doctor
[22:25] Speaker 3: Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman and today, we're
[22:29] Speaker 3: going to continue to cut through the noise. Before the break,
[22:33] Speaker 3: we were talking about the dad bod in, the biohazard
[22:38] Speaker 3: that's sitting around your waist. But there's another biohazard most
[22:42] Speaker 3: of you are ignoring every single morning, and that's right
[22:45] Speaker 3: under your nose. And I'm talking about your mouth. Look,
[22:49] Speaker 3: we've been told for decades that if you just scrub
[22:52] Speaker 3: your teeth with some neon colored fluoride packed paste from
[22:56] Speaker 3: the grocery store, you're good or wrong. Your mouth is
[23:01] Speaker 3: the gateway to your entire system. If you've got a
[23:04] Speaker 3: bacterial riot that's happening in your gums, that inflammation doesn't
[23:09] Speaker 3: just stay there, it travels. It's a straight shot to
[23:13] Speaker 3: your heart and your brain. That is why I don't
[23:17] Speaker 3: use traditional toothpaste, and I certainly don't use those alcohol
[23:22] Speaker 3: based mouthwashes that burn like battery acid and kill the
[23:26] Speaker 3: good bacteria along with the bad. I use the spry
[23:30] Speaker 3: dental defense system. Specifically, we're talking about the power of xylotol. Now,
[23:36] Speaker 3: if you're not familiar, xylotol is a natural sweetener. But
[23:41] Speaker 3: for the bacteria in your mouth, specifically the ones that
[23:44] Speaker 3: cause plaque in decay, it's a trojan horse. These bacteria,
[23:49] Speaker 3: the bad bacteria, they try to eat xylotol, but they
[23:54] Speaker 3: can't metabolize it. They basically starve to death while trying
[23:58] Speaker 3: to throw a party in your It just doesn't happen
[24:02] Speaker 3: with the Spry dental defense system. And what I love
[24:05] Speaker 3: about the spray dental defense system is that it isn't
[24:09] Speaker 3: just a once in the morning thing. You've got a
[24:12] Speaker 3: Spry gum, you've got mints, you've got mouthwashed and of
[24:16] Speaker 3: course toothpaste, and when you spray throughout the day, you
[24:20] Speaker 3: are essentially creating this great coating across your teeth that
[24:25] Speaker 3: the bacteria just can't stick to. They can't build those
[24:30] Speaker 3: biofilms that we've talked talked about. They just slide right
[24:34] Speaker 3: off and they get washed away. It's simple, it's effective,
[24:38] Speaker 3: and it's non negotiable for me or my family. If
[24:42] Speaker 3: you want to keep your mouth clean and your systemic
[24:45] Speaker 3: inflammation down, you need to ditch the chemical sludge and
[24:49] Speaker 3: get on that xylotl train. And you can find the
[24:53] Speaker 3: entire Spry line, the gum, the mints, the whole works
[24:57] Speaker 3: at most retailers nationwiding, including CBS target natural grossers, sprouts
[25:05] Speaker 3: and whole foods markets. They carry the good stuff because
[25:08] Speaker 3: they know what we know. Health starts with the choices
[25:11] Speaker 3: you make every single hour, not just when you visit
[25:15] Speaker 3: the dentist once every six months. So grab some spry.
[25:19] Speaker 3: You can read about Spray at their website, which is
[25:22] Speaker 3: Clear dot com. That's spelled x L e a r
[25:25] Speaker 3: dot com. Clear is also the makers of Clear nasal sprays,
[25:30] Speaker 3: which also protect your gateway from the nose. So let's
[25:34] Speaker 3: get Let's get back to the basics and protect some
[25:38] Speaker 3: of the gateways your mouth and your nose with the
[25:41] Speaker 3: Spray dental defense system in Clear Nasal Sprays. All right,
[25:46] Speaker 3: it's time for our health alternative of the week. We've
[26:07] Speaker 3: all been there. You're doing the right things. You're watching
[26:10] Speaker 3: the plate, you're hitting the pavement, and you're checking the boxes.
[26:14] Speaker 3: But the scale isn't just stubborn. It feels locked. It
[26:18] Speaker 3: feels like there's a little drag on your system, a
[26:22] Speaker 3: silent resistance that turns every calorie burn into a huge effort.
[26:28] Speaker 3: And in the world of functional wellness, we call this
[26:31] Speaker 3: metabolic friction. Think of it this way. If you try
[26:34] Speaker 3: to drive your car with a parking brake, half engaged.
[26:38] Speaker 3: You can still move, but you're burning more fuel and
[26:41] Speaker 3: you're wearing out that engine, and you're generating a massive
[26:44] Speaker 3: amount of unnecessary heat in your body. That parking brake
[26:49] Speaker 3: is chronic. It's a low grade systemic inflammation. It's the
[26:53] Speaker 3: invisible anchor that keeps your metabolism from reaching those cruising speeds.
[26:59] Speaker 3: It's not just about will power, it's about physics. And
[27:02] Speaker 3: this week we've got a precision tool that cs as
[27:07] Speaker 3: that ultimate metabolic lubricant. And for centuries, we've known that
[27:11] Speaker 3: there was something special about the vine. Ancient cultures didn't
[27:16] Speaker 3: have double blind studies, but they knew the restorative power
[27:20] Speaker 3: of the great You fast forward to June of this
[27:24] Speaker 3: year and the modern lab is finally catching up to
[27:28] Speaker 3: what ancients suspected, and that is the secret isn't just
[27:31] Speaker 3: in the fruit, It's in the heart of the seed.
[27:34] Speaker 3: So we're talking about grape seed extract and that is
[27:37] Speaker 3: our health alternative of the week for a specific reason.
[27:41] Speaker 3: It's packed with high performance antioxidants that are designed to
[27:45] Speaker 3: hunt down the friction in your cells. And I'm not
[27:49] Speaker 3: here to give you fluff. I'm here to give you
[27:52] Speaker 3: the data that moves the needle. This large landmark twelve
[27:56] Speaker 3: week clinical study, highlighted in Natural Grosser Nutrition Research FITES,
[28:02] Speaker 3: has sent shockwaves through the entire wellness community. Researchers took
[28:06] Speaker 3: adults who were struggling with that invisible anchor, you know,
[28:10] Speaker 3: carrying extra weight and dealing with the metabolic drag that
[28:14] Speaker 3: comes with it. They put everyone on a modest, sustainable
[28:19] Speaker 3: diet and they cut just two hundred and fifty calories
[28:21] Speaker 3: a day, and one group got a placebo and the
[28:24] Speaker 3: other got three hundred milligrams of grape seed extract daily.
[28:29] Speaker 3: And the results weren't just good. They transformed these people
[28:33] Speaker 3: that we had double the victory the grape seed extract
[28:37] Speaker 3: group loss and average of eight point seven pounds, while
[28:40] Speaker 3: the placebo only managed four point one. That was the
[28:44] Speaker 3: same diet at the same time, nearly double the fat loss,
[28:48] Speaker 3: and studies show a significant reduction in body fat mass
[28:53] Speaker 3: while and here's the kicker, it preserves the lean muscle tissue.
[28:58] Speaker 3: And this is where it gets interesting. The researchers looked
[29:01] Speaker 3: at the blood markers for metabolic friction. We're talking about CRP.
[29:05] Speaker 3: It dropped as staggering thirty three percent TNFA and that's
[29:11] Speaker 3: a major inflammatory clog in your metabolic pipes. That decrease
[29:15] Speaker 3: by almost twenty five percent in NPY and neuropeptide that
[29:20] Speaker 3: can drive up your appetite fell by an additional fifteen percent.
[29:23] Speaker 3: So when you lower those markers, you're not just dieting,
[29:26] Speaker 3: You're literally removing that friction from your system. So you're
[29:29] Speaker 3: cutting that invisible anchor. So the beauty of grape seed
[29:34] Speaker 3: extract is that it represents that empowerment first philosophy we
[29:39] Speaker 3: live by here on the show. You don't necessarily have
[29:42] Speaker 3: to be a victim of your biology. You don't have
[29:45] Speaker 3: to accept that slowing down is just part of getting older.
[29:49] Speaker 3: By using nature's precision tools, validated by the highest levels
[29:54] Speaker 3: of modern science, you are taking that steering wheel back.
[29:57] Speaker 3: You are choosing to be the architect of your own
[30:00] Speaker 3: health and vitality, and Natural Grossers is right to highlight
[30:03] Speaker 3: this in their June research. Grape seed extract is a
[30:08] Speaker 3: promising natural option for anyone looking to support healthy weight
[30:12] Speaker 3: management and overall metabolic efficiency. It's safe, it's grounded in science,
[30:18] Speaker 3: and it's a testament to the power of plant based intelligence.
[30:22] Speaker 3: So it's your move now. If you're ready to stop
[30:24] Speaker 3: fighting that friction. If you're feeling stuck, I want you
[30:27] Speaker 3: to check out the research and go to Healthtalkamerica dot
[30:30] Speaker 3: com and also talk to your healthcare provider about adding
[30:34] Speaker 3: three hundred milligrams of high quality grape seed extract to
[30:38] Speaker 3: your daily routine. You don't just work harder, you work smoother.
[30:43] Speaker 3: I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and this has been your health

[33:21] Speaker 4: The one never single, And.
[33:30] Speaker 3: We are back. You're listening to Health Talk America Presents
[33:34] Speaker 3: the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm your host, Doctor Adam Brockman,
[33:38] Speaker 3: and if you're just joining us once again, I want
[33:41] Speaker 3: you to buckle up. We are diving into our health
[33:44] Speaker 3: outrage of the week that is going to make your
[33:48] Speaker 3: parental instincts kick into overdrive.
[33:53] Speaker 4: Jeez each time for the health.
[34:00] Speaker 3: Because it's nothing. But we talk a lot on the
[34:03] Speaker 3: show about longevity and vitality and making smart choices for
[34:08] Speaker 3: your wellness. But today we're talking about a choice that's
[34:11] Speaker 3: being made for our kids by an algorithm, and it's
[34:15] Speaker 3: costing lives We're going to pull back the curtain on
[34:18] Speaker 3: the over the counter illusion. That's a dangerous lie that
[34:23] Speaker 3: just because you can buy it next to the gum
[34:26] Speaker 3: and the magazines, it can't kill you. Let's get straight
[34:29] Speaker 3: to the heart of the matter. In Connecticut, over the
[34:32] Speaker 3: span of just two short months, three families had their
[34:36] Speaker 3: world's shattered, three children gone, and the culprit and overdose
[34:42] Speaker 3: of diephin hydramine, the common everyday ingredient in benadryl. It's
[34:49] Speaker 3: being called the Benadryl Challenge. It sounds like a playground game, right,
[34:54] Speaker 3: It's something innocent, But on platforms like TikTok, this challenge
[34:59] Speaker 3: is a digital siren song luring teenagers into this chemical trap.
[35:04] Speaker 3: They're taking massive doses, sometimes ten ten times the recommended amount,
[35:10] Speaker 3: all for the reward of a high or a hallucination.
[35:15] Speaker 3: One thirteen year old girl reportedly ordered the pills through
[35:18] Speaker 3: a delivery app, No id check, no are you sure,
[35:23] Speaker 3: Just a few taps on a screen and a deadly
[35:25] Speaker 3: dose was on her doorstep. This isn't just a lapse
[35:29] Speaker 3: in judgment. It's a systemic failure of the safety net
[35:32] Speaker 3: we think we have around our families. Now let's get
[35:37] Speaker 3: into the why why does a simple allergy pill turn
[35:40] Speaker 3: into a lethal neurotoxin when the dose climbs well. Die
[35:45] Speaker 3: Thin hydromine is a first generation and a histamine. It's
[35:49] Speaker 3: highly lipophilic, which is a fancy term for saying it
[35:54] Speaker 3: loves fat and can easily slide right through the blood
[35:57] Speaker 3: brain barrier. In a normal dose, it makes you sleepy.
[36:01] Speaker 3: In a challenge dose, it triggers what we call toxi drone.
[36:07] Speaker 3: The medical community has a rhyme for this, and it's
[36:10] Speaker 3: anything but poetic. It's as hot as a hair, blind
[36:15] Speaker 3: as a bat, dry as a bone, red as a beat,
[36:19] Speaker 3: and mad as a hatter. And when these kids in
[36:23] Speaker 3: just dozens of these pink pills, they aren't just tripping.
[36:26] Speaker 3: They are inducing a state of frank delirium. Their heart
[36:31] Speaker 3: rate it's skyrockets, which is known as takacardia. Their body
[36:35] Speaker 3: temperature climbs to dangerous levels, and the real nightmare begins
[36:40] Speaker 3: seizures and cardiac arrest. The drug starts blocking sodium channels
[36:45] Speaker 3: in the heart and brain. It's like throwing a wrench
[36:48] Speaker 3: into the electrical panel on your house. The signals get crossed.
[36:52] Speaker 3: The rhythm breaks in the system, it starts to shut down.
[36:56] Speaker 3: So it's not a challenge. It's a game of chemical
[36:59] Speaker 3: Russian rule life. And here's where the lens gets a
[37:02] Speaker 3: little bit dark. Our ancestors look to nature to find
[37:05] Speaker 3: balance and healing. Today our children look for a four
[37:10] Speaker 3: U page that prioritize engagement over existence. And the outrage
[37:15] Speaker 3: isn't just that the drug is accessible. It's that we've
[37:19] Speaker 3: cultivated an over the counter illusion. We've been conditioned to
[37:23] Speaker 3: think that if drugs are over the counter, it's inherently safe.
[37:28] Speaker 3: We leave it in unlocked cabinets, next to the toothpaste
[37:31] Speaker 3: or the band aids. But modern technology, with these viral algorithms,
[37:37] Speaker 3: it has weaponized that basically familiarity. It takes a household
[37:43] Speaker 3: staple and it presents it as a dare. It turns
[37:47] Speaker 3: your medicine cabinet into a danger zone. And while the
[37:50] Speaker 3: technology giants they start to tweak their code to keep
[37:54] Speaker 3: kids scrolling, our kids are paying the ultimate price for
[37:58] Speaker 3: these likes. I want to point you to some incredible
[38:02] Speaker 3: insights from doctor Gary Sofer. He's a pediatrician at Yale
[38:07] Speaker 3: University School of Medicine. He's been on the front lines
[38:10] Speaker 3: of this, and his advice is something every listener needs
[38:13] Speaker 3: to hear right now. Yale's pediatric emergency department has largely
[38:18] Speaker 3: moved away from using benedr and why because we have better,
[38:24] Speaker 3: safer alternatives that don't cross into the brain with the
[38:27] Speaker 3: same sledgehammer effect. So his suggestion is to switch to
[38:32] Speaker 3: second generation. So consider moving to these second generation antahistamines
[38:36] Speaker 3: like zero tech or clariton. They provide the same allergy
[38:40] Speaker 3: relief without the heavy sedation or the high risk of
[38:44] Speaker 3: the central nervous system toxicity. And obviously, lock up treatre
[38:48] Speaker 3: over the counter medications with the same respect that you'd
[38:51] Speaker 3: give a prescription opiate if it's in the house and
[38:54] Speaker 3: needs to be behind a lock or in a place
[38:57] Speaker 3: your children can't access. Don't wait for that challenge to
[39:01] Speaker 3: pop up on their feet. Talk to your kids about
[39:05] Speaker 3: what the pharmacology of safe drugs, Explain that over the
[39:08] Speaker 3: counter doesn't mean invincible, and look, I'm not here to
[39:13] Speaker 3: scare you into panic. I'm here to empower you with
[39:15] Speaker 3: the truth. We are guardians of our children's health. We
[39:19] Speaker 3: have the power to shut down this over the counter
[39:22] Speaker 3: illusion in our own homes. Health isn't about always about
[39:27] Speaker 3: just the gem or the green juice. It's about awareness.
[39:30] Speaker 3: It's about knowing that the most dangerous things in our
[39:32] Speaker 3: lives are often the ones we've been too comfortable with.
[39:36] Speaker 3: So let's look at this and turn it into a
[39:39] Speaker 3: catalyst for change. Clean out the cabinets, lock up the
[39:42] Speaker 3: pink pills, and, for heaven's sake, talk to your kids today.
[39:46] Speaker 3: Tell them that their life is more more important than
[39:49] Speaker 3: these fifteen second viral videos you're listening to. Health Talk
[39:53] Speaker 3: America presents the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
[40:04] Speaker 7: Kids don't just bring home homework, they bring home germs,
[40:07] Speaker 7: and those germs don't just stay with them, they spread
[40:09] Speaker 7: to the whole household. That's why Clear Nasal Spray was
[40:12] Speaker 7: created by a practicing physician to give parents and grandparents

[41:11] Speaker 3: Welcome back to Health Talk America presents the Doctor Bob
[41:14] Speaker 3: Martin Show. You're with Doctor Adam Brockman, and it's time
[41:17] Speaker 3: for our final segment this week and the one today.
[41:22] Speaker 3: We're going to pull back the curtain on the medical
[41:25] Speaker 3: anomalies that baffle the white coat establishment. So with that,
[41:28] Speaker 3: it's time for our health Mystery of the Week. I
[41:35] Speaker 3: won't you imagine this? You're finally seeing the light. You've
[41:38] Speaker 3: ditched the process junk. Your morning starts with a massive
[41:42] Speaker 3: spinach and kale smoothie. You've swapped weed for almond flour
[41:46] Speaker 3: because hey, you're living the dream on a clean, ketogenic
[41:50] Speaker 3: style diet. You should feel like a superhero, right but
[41:54] Speaker 3: instead you feel like you're eighty years old. Your knees
[41:57] Speaker 3: are screaming. Your lower back is in cherry on top.
[42:01] Speaker 3: You just landed in the er with a kidney stone
[42:04] Speaker 3: that felt like a passing of a jagged piece of rebar.
[42:09] Speaker 3: How can a healthy lifestyle lead to such physical wreckage.
[42:15] Speaker 3: So here's the unfiltered truth. Mother nature is brilliant, and
[42:18] Speaker 3: sometimes she's a warrior. Some plants don't want to be eaten,
[42:22] Speaker 3: so they develop chemical defense systems to the biggest culprits
[42:26] Speaker 3: that sabotage your joints that you might not think about.
[42:29] Speaker 3: They're oxalates in lactins, and when you overload on high
[42:34] Speaker 3: oxalate foods like spinach and almonds, you aren't just getting vitamins.
[42:39] Speaker 3: You're flooding your system with compounds that love to bind
[42:43] Speaker 3: to calcium. The result is calcium oxalate crystals. These aren't
[42:49] Speaker 3: just stones in your kidneys. They are microscopic, little glass shards.
[42:54] Speaker 3: If you will, that deposit in your joints, in your
[42:56] Speaker 3: soft tissues, and stats show that roughly eighty of kidney
[43:01] Speaker 3: stones are composed of calcium oxalate. So if they're in
[43:05] Speaker 3: your kidneys, believe me, they can be in your connective
[43:07] Speaker 3: tissues too, causing that mystery inflammation that your standard blood
[43:12] Speaker 3: tests just can't explain. Then we have leactins, the inflammatory
[43:16] Speaker 3: bonds that the bombs that are found in night shades
[43:21] Speaker 3: and seeds. They act like a velcro in your gut.
[43:23] Speaker 3: They poke some holes in your intestinal lining, if you
[43:26] Speaker 3: can say leaky gut, and trigger an inflammatory immune response
[43:31] Speaker 3: that leaves your joints feeling like they're on fire. And
[43:34] Speaker 3: our ancestors knew better. They didn't eat raw spinach by
[43:38] Speaker 3: the pound. They soaked, they sprouted, they fermented, and they
[43:41] Speaker 3: boiled their greens. These ancient techniques that modern science now
[43:45] Speaker 3: proves that neutralize these anti nutrients. And we're not saying
[43:50] Speaker 3: stop eating vegetables by any stretch of imagination. We're saying,
[43:54] Speaker 3: stop being a victim of the superfood marketing. If your
[43:58] Speaker 3: healthy salad is sabotage your health, it's time for a pivot.
[44:02] Speaker 3: Switch those spinach smoothie sometimes for romayne or arugula. Swap
[44:08] Speaker 3: the almond flour for coconut flour on occasion. And if
[44:11] Speaker 3: you're starting to solve your own health mystery, reach out
[44:14] Speaker 3: to us. Don't stay in the dark. You can ask
[44:16] Speaker 3: a doctor, Bob or myself a question through our hotline,
[44:19] Speaker 3: our website again that's eight hundred sixty zero six eight
