Good day to you, wherever you're tuning in from. Welcome to the Dr. Bob Martin Show, where health, hope, and healing come together every week to empower you to live longer, live stronger, and live better. I'm your co-host, Dr. Adam Brockman, and today we're opening the lines up and cracking open the treasure chest of listener questions that you've been sending our way. Joining me today is the incomparable Dr. Bob Martin. You staying warm over there, Doc?

01:30

Speaker 3
I am. I'm glad to be with you. I am ready to help some sick people get well, and well people that wanna stay that way, let's help 'em out.

01:39

Speaker 2
All right. All right. Well, before we get started, let me ask everyone this. What's the greatest wealth that you possess? Is it a house? Is it a car? Is it a timeshare? Well, no, it's your health. Without it, success loses its shine, relationships lose their rhythm, and life itself loses its spark. It's a truth too often realized only after the fact, after the diagnosis, or after the fatigue, or after the warning signs that have whispered before they started to scream. And so today, we're gonna turn the tables before that trouble knocks. We're gonna dive into questions you have about, uh, anything, a- from energy and immunity, to hormones, uh, to memory, to metabolism. Whatever's on your mind, the phone lines are open, so pick up the phone and call 800-606-8822. That's 800-606-8822. And one more time, 800-606-8822. You can be part of that conversation that could literally change your health starting today. Or if you prefer to click instead of call, head over to drbob.com.

02:47

Speaker 2
That's drbob.com, spelling out the word doctor, D-O-C-T-O-R bob.com. That's your online resource for the latest in natural health news, show archives, tips and tools to master your wellbeing from the inside out. You'll also find our podcast library, summaries, and links to trustworthy natural products all in one place at drbob.com. Now, let me set the tone, because this hour isn't about gimmicks, fads, or celebrity detox teas. It's about evidence-based natural solutions that respect your body's intelligence. Uh, think of your body as a symphony, every system, every organ, every cell that plays its part in perfect rhythm, until lifestyle, stress, or neglect throws one instrument out of tune. And that's where we come in, helping you learn how to fine-tune those chords naturally so that your health plays in perfect harmony again. And speaking of harmony, uh, Dr.

03:45

Speaker 2
Bob, I've been thinking about something that we talk about in conversation and also on the show, and that's that the body never forgets what the mind ignores. And when- when people, they ignore their health, their- their bodies, uh, it starts to keep score. We hear it, uh, you know, through the voices in their- in their fatigue, their digestive issues, their- their- the mood- mood swings, their blood pressure. It starts to creep up. So if you're listening right now and thinking, "Uh, yeah, well, that's me," uh, today's your day to turn that around. And no matter- no matter your age, your background, or even where you're starting at, reclaiming your health begins with one small intentional act. And that act, it could be as simple as making that phone call. So again, let's keep that handy. It's 800-606-8822. That's the number to call with your health question.

04:36

Speaker 2
So if you're curious about balancing hormones, taming sugar cravings, or boosting brain focus, or even tackling that mystery chronic fatigue, Dr. Bob and I are- we're ready to dive in today. We'll bring you the science, the stories, and the strategies that you can use right now. And you just have to bring the questions. If that's a fair deal, we'll go ahead and get started 'cause you don't have to settle for fine. You're meant to feel fantastic, and Dr. Bob and I, we're here to help you get there. So Dr. Bob, you ready?

05:04

Speaker 3
Uh, let's go.

05:05

Speaker 2
Okay. All right. All right. We have a- an email question. We're getting a little bit behind on these email questions. I wanna g- I'm gonna get to a few of those today. It's, uh, from Dan out of Redondo Beach, California. And Dan writes, "On your radio show, could you state your opinion on getting the PSA test for men?" And Dr. Bob, I'll let you go ahead and start.

05:25

Speaker 3
All right. Well, I've had the opportunity after having treated over 30,000 patients in my practice career to see my fair share of men who were usually over the age of 40 and were having trouble with frequency of urination at night, poor urinary stream, poor, uh, function sexually, and sometimes even some UTIs, urinary tract infections. Uh, and these were men who were suffering from classic prostate problems. By the time they got to me, Dr. Brockman, they had already been to their general-... uh, practitioner, general MD practitioner. The general MD practitioner referred them to a urologist.

06:12

Speaker 3
They went to the urologist and they had all kinds of different tests that are often necessary, and the conclusion was, "Well, we can put you on these drugs or if it gets bad enough and the drugs don't work down the road, we can always use or perform a surgical procedure to try to, uh, decrease the size of your prostate so that you don't get up at night and frequently urinate and have urinary spillage or frequency of urination and all the other things that go along with prostate-related problems." So of course, they end up on our doorstep looking for a safe and effective science-based alternative. And, uh, I'm here to tell you that we were able to solve most all of them. You only... You're never gonna get 100% when you walk up to the plate, the batter's box.

07:02

Speaker 3
There's always gonna be a swing and a miss, but at least those people who were thinking outside the box and believing that there are other healing arts and healing techniques aside from pharmaceutical drugs and surgery, they would find their way to our office and offices that offer care like we did. And they were smart to do so because we were able to, uh, extricate them from a very slippery slope associated with prostate procedures and prostate-related drugs. But look, if you're having trouble and nothing conservative works and you've been through the gauntlet of that, there's always more liberal and radical things to do. That would be medical care.

07:42

Speaker 3
However, with the PSA, if you look back in the scientific literature, even doctors, uh, that have known about this for years have realized that if a man is having trouble with his prostate gland and you intervene on, on some level, whether it be surgical technique or drugs, you may actually make them worse than they were before they got to your office. In fact, many of the medical research studies have shown that when a man at a certain age bracket has prostate problems, it's often better to leave him alone than to intervene because if you start doing, uh, cutting, slicing, dicing, and doing procedures, uh, you may cause the problem to be permanently worse than it was and never able to get better. So what we did with these people is they come in and they have, of course, their PSA, their prostate-specific antigen blood test, which is sort of the holy grail of laboratory findings that doctors use along with symptomatology and examination of the prostate, you do that rectally in a man.

08:45

Speaker 3
Uh, they use these to justify whatever techniques or treatments that they are going to employ on behalf of the patient to try to help them out. The problem with the PSA test, the prostate-specific antigen test is it's not that accurate. It has a lot of false positives associated with it. In other words, you can have a man come into an office and have that test done and it could be, like, wrong. It could be high and it may be a false positive. Could be low and y- you get different numbers on it. So relying on that blood test singularly is not a good idea. But it's justification for the doctor to do something because that way they get paid for it. Uh, the insurance company says, "Oh, okay, you've done the PSA test, it's high. You've done the examination. Okay, if y- you think you're feeling it even though you can only feel a fourth of the prostate with a digital electro, uh, rectal exam, only, uh, a fourth of it, so you're not feeling the whole, uh, process.

09:39

Speaker 3
You're just sort of, like, in the dark a little bit." And, of course, they have symptoms. So with a man with a PSA, we never say to them, "Look, go... Okay, uh, go get the procedure done." What we tell them to do is go have a sonogram performed, which is a ultrasound of the prostate to see the size of the prostate, which normally is about the size of a small walnut normally. Once you get a baseline on the size of that man's prostate with a sonogram, an actual picture of it just like a baby, uh, and- and, uh, it... The sonogram's just like a, a, a pregnant mother having an ultrasound to see what's going on with the baby, which we don't recommend either, but in this case, it's recommended for men because it, you know, it- it gives you the size and then you can do something and then go back, Dr. Brotman, and check it and see if it's gone down or it's the same or it went up so you know what your course of care is going to be. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen.

10:37

Speaker 3
What happens is these men get procedures and things done to them that ought not happen. And, and so they are-

10:43

Speaker 4
And let's come, let's come back to that after break, Dr. Bob.

10:46

Speaker 3
All right.

10:46

Speaker 4
All right, uh, so we'll be back and more on the PSA. You're listening to the Dr. Bob Martin Show.

14:13

Speaker 2
Welcome back. You're listening to the Dr. Bob Martin Show. I'm Dr. Adam Brockman and, uh, we're answering your questions today. If you've got questions about natural health, nutrition, or anything in between, our toll-free hotline is open for you at 800-606-8822. That's where you're gonna find Dr. Bob and I, and we're standing by to help unlock your best self. Again, that's 800-606-8822. All right, we were answering Dan's question about a slightly elevated PSA and, uh, and I wanna say, it doesn't automatically mean cancer, as Dr. Bob was explaining. I, uh, I also wanna say, in fact, lots of men have mild elevation simply from aging, or it can be from vigorous activity, and it can even be from sexual activity right before a test. On, on one hand, some men with prostate cancer have normal PSA readings. Uh, so that's, that's why we need to see PSA as, as part of a, of a bigger picture and not the whole painting. So Dr.

15:11

Speaker 2
Bob, you were explaining, uh, before break the right approach, and I wanna, want you to dig into that a little bit more.

15:16

Speaker 3
Yeah, it's an approach that

18:27

Speaker 3
... uh, you're sitting all day long. You shouldn't sit more than 20 minutes at a time without getting up and moving around, even if it's 10 steps, because they have a desk job all day long, so they sit all day long. Next, we tell that man, "If you are consuming alcohol, dairy products, smoking cigarettes, or using a lot of caffeine, and you're on the standard American diet, you will have prostate problems. It's not a matter of if, but when, th- and it'll depend on how bad it is, depending on your consumption." So they're not willing to give up, uh, the alcohol, the cheese, the ice cream, the Haagen-Daaz, the dairy foods, which are the worst offenders. They cause swelling in the prostate gland. We know this for a fact, because when you take those men off of those products, you get them away from it, suddenly, they're sleeping through the night like babies. So we, we get them on that lifestyle tweak, and then we give them an exercise which everybody can do: walking.

19:25

Speaker 3
Walking is the exercise for prostate problem. We have them walk one to three miles a day, which is the equivalent of a man massaging his prostate gland. There is, by the way, a procedure. You can actually do that, self-prostate massage. All urologists know how to do it, and they used to teach their patients how to do it, uh, right in their offices, but they quit doing that because there's no money in it, so they'd rather do the surgical procedure and have a big check show up. Uh, I digress again. So, uh, the man needs to be walking. He needs to be taking 50 milligrams of zinc per day, because usually a man with a prostate problem has a zinc deficiency. We also put them on herbal DHT or herbal dihydrotestosterone inhibitors which are, w- which mimic the drug, the pharmaceutical drugs that they give out, Proscar and all these different other drugs that have side effects, including impotence and lack of sexual, uh, desire and everything else.

20:24

Speaker 3
We put them on beta-sitosterol, which is an herbal, uh, supplement. You can get it in any health food store. It has no adverse side effects. Works unbelievably well. And that in combination with zinc, African pygeum, which is another herb, over time that man's prostate will get better and his frequency of urination at night will go way down. He may not even get up at all, and problem solved. But most men, as you well know, Dr. Brockman, they think, "Well, okay, my, my, my doctor is the end-all of, of information in the healthcare universe, so whatever my doctor says, I'm gonna go with it." Unfortunately, that is a very risky proposition, because as doctors, the more we know, the more we realize we don't know. Uh, if you, if you're really gonna be honest as a doctor, you're gonna say, "Look, I think this is not a life-threatening situation to have a man with a prostate problem, especially if it's benign, and most of them are. And even if it wasn't, the course of care would be the same.

21:28

Speaker 3
Uh, let's at least try a three-month to six-month course of conservative care before we start chopping and channeling and cutting, slicing, and dicing on this man, because if we do and we mess him up, which many of them are, he'll be in diapers the rest of his life and wished he'd never walked into my office." But doctors will be doctors. It's sort of like a carpenter. You put a carp- uh, you know, a hammer in a carpenter's hand, and everything's a nail. That's what they do. They're businessmen and women. And so a conservative first in non-life-threatening situations, which is what we do with men with, uh, bloated prostate glands, give them three to six months' lifestyle, uh, changes, supplementation, um, th- yeah, self-prostate massage, get them on the right diet, and the vast majority, I'd say like 95%, are going to get well without any pharmaceutical drugs, so without any medical intervention.

22:23

Speaker 3
That other 5%, usually they're so chronic, they've been there so long, now they're recalcitrant. The prostate gland is, is hardened, everything's hardened, and they may require a, sort of a Hail Mary, if you will, surgical procedure in order to stop them from urinating at night. But there again, they risk being in diapers the rest of their life, so they have to make that decision

22:47

Speaker 2
Yeah. And, and Dr. Bob, uh, you know, this is a great question. Eh, so I want, I want men to always remember that over-testing can lead to over-treatment, so, so balance awareness like what you were- been discussing, that's, that's where it needs to happen. We've, uh, swung from, uh, don't test at all to test everyone annually, but the truth is as anything, it usually lives in the middle. The, the goal is that early detection, not a automatic intervention, and, and what Dr. Bob was saying from a natural health standpoint, prevention still wins. Uh, each day, you maintain a diet that's rich in, in, uh, uh, vegetables like broccoli, uh, lycopene, uh, rich, uh, tomatoes, uh, you know, and even green tea, and reduce that dairy and processed meats. Uh, so Dan, the bottom line, I'm for PSA testing with context in follow-through. All right, we'll be right back. You're listening to the Dr. Bob Martin Show.

All right, let's get back into, uh, some of your questions. I'm gonna get to a caller question from Heidi in, uh, Bristol, Virginia.

28:06

Speaker 6
Hi, this is Heidi from Bristol, Virginia, and I've been using an app for grocery shopping, nutritional gr- a- app called Yuka, Y-U-K-A, and I just was curious of your opinion of that app. Thank you.

28:26

Speaker 2
Hi, Heidi. And thank you for bringing that up, because it's, uh, one of those, those things that we're getting to the, a modern crossroads in health. Are the new nutrition by app tools actually helping us get healthier, or are they just making us digitally dependent to know what's good, uh, good for our plate or dinner? Now, for anyone that's unfamiliar, Yuka, spelled U- uh, Y-U-K-A, it's a food scanning app. You scan a barcode, uh, at the, at the grocery store, and it instantly scores the product on a nutritional quality, and, uh, it also tells you about the additives, and it flags things like excess sugar, salt, or, uh, processed ingredients. So on, on paper that's fantastic. It helps people make quick visual decisions in the grocery aisle without needing a nutrition degree. But here's what I remind my patients and listeners alike. Algorithms, they can't taste your food, or read your lab work, or know your individual needs.

29:26

Speaker 2
They use standardized databases and incredi- ingredient lists, which means context matters. For instance, Yuka might red flag an organic olive oil for its caloric, uh, count, while it might give a high score to a synthetic diet yogurt that's full of gums and fake sweeteners. Uh, so if you see the problem here, uh, it's sometimes that algorithm, it knows numbers, but not actual nutrition. And, and that said, the app, uh, it does have some major upsides. It raises awareness, it gets people looking at ingredients, and it empowers, uh, consumers, especially those that are just starting their label reading journey. And, uh, so that's, that's huge progress. A decade ago, nobody even cared what, uh, what some of these additives might look like, and now, now people are scanning to avoid them. That's what I call nutritional literacy in action. Uh, so if you want my take, I say use Yuka, uh, again that's spelled Y-U-K-A, as a compass, but not as the, the captain of the ship.

30:32

Speaker 2
Let it guide you towards cleaner, less processed food, but use your own critical thinking to interpret the, the results. Uh, so you trust real food over ratings, like fresh produce and wild fish, uh, organic meats, uh, legumes, nuts. Y- you don't need to scan a banana to know it's good for you. And I want you to, to also pay attention and, uh, and know how your body feels after eating, because no app can track that better than you can.So, Heidi, uh, keep up, uh, the curiosity. The Yuka is a great entry tool for awareness. Just pair it with real-life wisdom, like eat close to the, uh, to the source. Y- you know, shop the perimeter of the store. And when in doubt, uh, simpler is always better, because whether it's a barcode scan or your gut instinct, the goal is the same, knowing what you're putting in your body and, and also owning those choices. So that's, that's the smart nutrition in a, in the tech age. All right, Anna, let's see. Uh, Dr.

31:38

Speaker 2
Bob, let's get, let's get to another, uh, caller question. Uh, this one is from Vaughn in, uh, Beaumont, Texas.

31:51

Speaker 11
Vaughn, Beaumont, Texas. Yeah, you were speaking about the, um, incident about cancer after con- after stopping a drug intake. Well, that must be a relative number rather than an absolute number. Um, look at the number of people who are on long term drugs. Um, I mean, that should raise the cancer rate very, very high in itself. And then when they could, uh, discontinue it, um, that should be also a very, very high rate of cancer based upon the numbers that you, uh, mentioned. And, um, anyway, uh, when they discontinue the, uh, the drugs, then there is a continuance of something that will cause the cancer, that's glyphosate. So there's no mention about anything like that. No, I think somebody's just trying to muddy the waters to get you to look elsewhere instead of, uh, at other, you know, things like gy- glyphosate. But anyway, um, yeah, thank you.

33:04

Speaker 2
All right, d- Dr. Bob, you want to start this question off? We only got just, uh, just a couple minutes before break.

33:12

Speaker 3
Yeah, thanks, Scott. Good to hear your voice again. Yes, glyphosate is a big problem, but it's not anything new. Been around for what, 75 years or something? They've been using this herbicide to interfere with the reproductive cycle of insects and things that would eat the crops and farmers would have less yield and so on and so forth. So yeah, we should be conscious and conscientious about what we put on our food. Uh, there are more toxins in the environment today than there ever has been before. And the reason is because they can. (laughs) It's, it's that's the problem. We've allowed it to happen. USDA, FDA, all the, you know, the letters, three-letter organizations, four-letter organizations, they all are implicated in it, and many of them have had lots of contributions and payoffs from big agro, meaning that if these big agricultural companies can increase their profitability by virtue of using glyphosate, they're gonna do it if they're allowed to do it.

34:13

Speaker 3
But anything that kills bugs, whether it be insects or vermin or anything, can also impact human beings, which means when we consume glyphosate, that's just one thing. Uh, along with all the thousands and thousands of other chemicals, petrochemicals, which this is, in the environment, it adds up. Our body can only take so much of a toxic burden before something finally breaks. So yes, I'm glad you brought it up. I mean, we can parse, you know, hairs here between absolute and this, that, and the other thing, but the reality is being more conscious about our food supply and what we're getting into is a really good thing. And the best way to hedge that is to make sure you know what you're putting in your mouth. Always, when you can, try to purchase and consume organic products. Today, the constraints of that are, especially from the regulatory standpoint, are good because in order for a company for a product to say it's organic, they have to go through some rigid standards.

35:15

Speaker 3
So if you're looking to eat as purely as you can, grow your own food if you can, if you're a farmer and you have the ability to do that. Second, go to a place like Natural Grocers, which are grocery stores that are 100% organic, which means every fruit, every vegetable is 100% organic. There's been no spray in the soil, nothing. And you can be assured of excellent food going into your body and glyphosate-free, which you want to try to get to as much as you can.

39:14

Speaker 2
Welcome back. Dr. Adam Brockman here, as we return to the Dr. Bob Martin Show, America's number one health talk radio program. Uh, before we jump back into your caller questions, I wanna remind you that your wellness journey continues even when we're off air. Uh, first, our physician team is always available at 800-606-8822. Again, that's 800-606-8822. And second, don't forget you can access our entire podcast library any time at drbob.com. Spell out the word doctor, D-O-C-T-O-R bob.com. All right, Dr. Bob, I wanna get into a, a fun email question that we got and it was from Marsha in Greenville, South Carolina, uh, and she asked, "Dr.

39:57

Speaker 2
Bob, are you retiring?"

40:00

Speaker 3
Uh, so, you know, you might have seen that, um, I am not here as often as I was in, in the past and that's true. And when you have somebody who's doing as good a job as Dr. Adam Brockman is, you don't need to be. But I assure everyone that's listening that I am working behind the scenes. You may not hear me as often on the air but I'm working behind the scenes, uh, coming on periodically. I'm out doing field research, traveling to different areas of the world and looking at cultures that live long and prosper, those cultures... Because that's part of my expertise is, uh, longevity medicine, anti-aging medicine. As you know, Dr. Brockman, I'm, I'm board certified in anti-aging medicine through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and that's been ongoing for 25 years. But now I have the opportunity to travel the world and find out why it is that, let's say these blue zone areas of the world, why people live longer than Americans do. How they, how do they outlive Americans?

41:03

Speaker 3
We are so poor on the list of longevity compared to other industrialized countries. We're like at the bottom of the barrel. Why is that if we're a superpower, if we are an affluent nation, why is it that we can't keep people alive on average, males past the age of maybe 76 to 79 and women past 80, maybe 81? Why can't we do that? And it really boils down to education or the lack thereof, and the fact that in America we don't have a healthcare system, we have a sick care system predicated upon helping people once they break and then trying to fix them rather than teaching them how to prevent, uh, mostly preventable diseases, chronic diseases. Mostly because there's more profitability in sick care in disease than there is in prevention and health. And that's why this show exists. That's why this show has existed for 30 years because it is...

42:01

Speaker 3
And other shows like it have been trying to fill that gap where consumers are just wanting to know more about health and how to take better care of themselves that they can't find in their medical doctor's office because the doctor doesn't have enough time in that six minute to seven, eight minute visit. And w- w- when they do go in there, what they do is they get pharmaceuticals. That's it. And if that doesn't work, they get more pharmaceuticals. Uh, so they're looking for something. They find a radio show like this and others and they attach to it and they are taught what they need to know so that they can be their own best doctors most of the time or their own best nutritionists most of the time or their best exercise physiologist most of the time, whatever it may be. And so no, I'm not retiring. I, I may not be, uh, as frequently on the microphone but that's why I have Dr. Brockman and I gotta tell you, uh, Dr.

42:58

Speaker 3
Brockman, I'm getting great feedback from our audience members who send emails and send notes to us telling us how, how you're, you're doing a fantastic jobAnd in-- in as much as, uh, they would like to hear me more, uh, they're not unhappy with you. They're very happy with what you bring to the table. But I hope that that person sending in that message is reassured that I'm not going anywhere. I'm still here fighting for you all. And, uh, and uh, I-- I love doing it. It's-- it's my calling in life, if you will, and I don't think there's any higher calling than to try to help other people with their health.

43:37

Speaker 2
Well, Dr. Bob, that's a great response to that. And again-- and again, Marsha, thanks for your-- your question. And I wanna explain a little-- little bit that the-- the short answer... Because the-- the show and-- and also your health journey deserves, uh, what I'd like to say two voices now. We're-- and we-- Dr. Bob and I, we try to work in harmony. And so if we explain it a little bit further, the Dr. Bob Martin Show has always thrived on one goal, and that's empowering you to become your own best doctor most of the time. And now-- now we're expanding that mission by teaming up. Uh, so we got two slightly different backgrounds, but of course, we have, uh, your health in mind. Uh, so Dr. Bob, he brings decades of-- of authority in natural medicine, clinical nutrition, anti-aging medicine, and patient education. And, uh, and myself, uh, I have a naturopathic and a chiropractic, uh, doctorates, uh, with a background in sports medicine, uh, movement science, and regenerative medicine.

44:38

Speaker 2
So together, we cover a full playing field. And so if you-- you think of it, again, I like to use the term of a-- of a symphony. Uh, one of us lays down maybe that melody of holistic wisdom, and the other brings in fresh harmonies for the latest, uh, functional medicine research. And so we got two voices and, uh, twice the perspective. And-- and so maybe it's a faster path to practical solutions that you can use right away. Uh, so the beauty of this is also, like Dr. Bob said, is we can tackle more questions, uh, bring broader insights, and bridge that gap between the timeless, uh, natural principles and then cutting-edge science. So when you hear both of us on air, know this, it's-- this is still your show. It's just amplified for reach and the-- and the relevance of it. Uh, so yes, I-- what I'd like to say is two hosts and that we have one mission, and that is to keep Americans healthy. So with that, Dr. Bob, uh, we gotta-- we gotta take a quick break.

45:38

Speaker 2

Tell a friend, a family member, or a loved one to join us. Together we can continue to build this community that's committed to a better living. All right, and that's, that's our hour for, for today. Um, and that we, we've answered real questions, uh, from real people, and we've given real answers about the everyday challenges that shape your health. And so we covered a lot of ground, but if there's one takeaway I want you to remember, it's this: your body is designed to heal itself when you give it the right conditions. All right, and Dr. Bob, I wanna get just a, a few final thoughts, uh, from you before we, um, hit the, uh, hit the pavement.

49:55

Speaker 3
... Diverse backgrounds, uh, somehow get off track, the good news is we have one person that's sort of, like, helps to monitor the show and helps to contribute to the show, and that's Dr. Brockman's wife, Megan, who happens to be-

50:10

Speaker 2
(laughs)

50:11

Speaker 3
... uh, involved in the medical food chain as a registered nurse, Nurse Practitioner. So, you know-

50:18

Speaker 2
Hm.

50:18

Speaker 3
... if we, we ever get stumped or there's something going on that kinda she needs to bring us back to the reality, Megan's there for us. And so there's a, a medical component of this show that everybody can be assured of as well, and I just wanted to throw that in on behalf of Megan, because I think she, she is a very knowledgeable lady.

50:36

Speaker 2
Yeah, I agree with that. I always, uh, you know, can't, can't do it without the, the, uh, the background, and she's a great one to have in our corner with that integrative medical approach. Uh, so folks, you know, if, if something you heard today struck a chord or opened your eyes to a better way forward, uh, you don't have to wait.

55:01

Speaker 2
Hello, and welcome to The Dr. Bob Martin Show, the place where evidence meets inspiration, where cutting-edge science sits side by side with timeless truths about healing, restoration, and hope. I'm Dr. Adam Brockman, your co-host. And today, I wanna start with a simple question:One that hits every one of us square in the heart. If you could look 10 years into your future health, would you want to know what you'd see? Imagine closing your eyes and being given a preview of how your brain, your body, your memory, and your vitality will look a decade from now. Would you feel curious or fear? Because today, science is starting to hand us that mirror. In the reflection, it's showing... Eh, it could change everything we know about aging, memory, and prevention. And by the way, our lines are open at 800-606-8822. That's 800-606-8822. That's your caller number for real health questions, real solutions, and real stories that keep this community alive.

56:09

Speaker 2
And if you prefer to connect digitally, our online home is drbob.com. That's drbob.com, spelling out the word doctor, D-O-C-T-O-R bob.com. That's where you can replay today's show, you can find reference studies, and you can dive deeper into the frontiers of natural and functional medicine that we cover here every single week. Here's the headline. Are you ready? Scientists have now developed artificial intelligence that can analyze MRI images of the brain and can predict the onset of Alzheimer's disease up to 10 years before the symptoms ever appear. Uh, that's right. Before the confusion, before the memory lapses, be- before the names and moments start to slip away. This technology, it comes straight out of the University College of London, where researchers have built what they call a brain age clock. Uh, think about that term for a second. Brain age clock. It's not measuring your years on Earth, it's measuring how old your brain really is on the inside.

57:12

Speaker 2
And by scanning these microstructures deep within what's known as the hippocampus, that's the area scientists call the memory gateway in the brain, AI can con-brain your brain... Can compare your brain's biological age to your chronological one. Hmm, if you, if you want your brain to look 10 years older than you are right now, that may be a signal that neurodegeneration is quietly underway, long before you have to... Any reason to suspect it. Uh, so let's pause right there. Uh, because this kind of revelation is both exciting and also sobering. Eh, exciting because it opens the door to prevention like never before, and sobering because it reminds us, uh, maybe how silent early decline can be. But the message behind this research isn't one of doom. I think it's one of possibility. Uh, for millions of families across America, uh, families already, uh, that have been touched by cognitive decline, this is more than just a technology. Uh, this is hope.

58:20

Speaker 2
Hope that early awareness can equal early action. Hope that knowing sooner means healing stronger. Because if we can identify those at risk early, we can also intervene early. And also the good news, you have... You, you have incredible control over this intervention. The functional medicine, the, uh... What I'm talking about here is your natural, your lifestyle-based medicine, is proving that the keys to preserve your memory and protect your neurons and renew your mental clarity are already in your hands, and it's also in your home and in your habits. You see, artificial intelligence may read your scans, but natural intelligence, uh, your daily choices will always steer your destiny. So let's unpack a few of those choices together today. I want you to imagine your brain for a moment as an orchestra. Every section, your memory, your focus, your emotions, and your motor skills, they play their own part.

59:27

Speaker 2
Hmm, sometimes the, the rhythm, it falters, and sometimes an instrument goes out of tune. But your lifestyle, that's what you eat and how you move and how you rest and even what you think about, that acts as your conductor. So with regular aerobic exercise, m- maybe it's just 30 minutes a day of brisk walking, dancing, cycling, or swimming, ignites that hippocampus and triggers a process that is called neurogenesis, and that's the birth of brand new brain cells. Now, l- l- let's talk about recovery, because rest is not weakness, it's repair. Your brain, during deep sleep, it activates one of the most magical systems, and that's, uh, this kind of overnight cleaning crew that flushes out the toxins and excess proteins that are linked to conditions like Alzheimer's. If you skip that restorative sleep, those, those proteins in that system, they... The things like beta amyloid, they begin to pile up like uncollected garbage in the alleyways of your neurons.

01:00:38

Speaker 2
And so we're talking about seven to eight hours per night. It's not indulgence, that's an insurance policy. And then there's learning. Lifelong learning is the brain's version of aerobic training. When you read or you teach or you write or even listen to something new, um, maybe it's a new episode of The Dr. Bob Martin Show, your neurons forge these fresh connections and it builds cognitive redundancy that can compensate for some of the decline. Brain scientists na-... They now call this cognitive reserve. The more roads you build between memory and reason, the harder it is for any single roadblock to stop the traffic.And I also wanna say that joining this hour is a special guest who is here to discuss, uh, new research on the benefits of aged garlic extract, and that is, uh, research on cognition, so you'll wanna hear what our guest has to say today. So this, this AI story from London, it pays us an enormous compliment. It assumes we will use the information responsibly.

01:01:48

Speaker 2
It says to humanity, "Here's your early warning system. Now, what are you gonna do with it?" And that's empowerment, not, not fear. Because the real solution doesn't come from the scanner, it comes from your schedule, and your steps, and your supper, and also your spirit. Now, I can almost hear some of you thinking, "Well, Dr. Brotman, what's, what's the use of knowing my brain's biological age if there's no cure for Alzheimer's?" And I want you to pause right there, because that question comes from a place where that's w- what we've been trained to think, the, the treatment mindset instead of the prevention mindset. We too often wait for the engine light before we check the oil. But now functional medicine, it checks the system before the warning even appears. And the cure, my friends, is prevention in motion. Mm, and only a small percentage of Alzheimer's cases stem strictly from genetic inheritance.

01:02:55

Speaker 2
The rest, upwards of 90%, are environmental and behavioral, the, the diet, the inflammation, uh, that is associated with a diet, the toxin exposure, sleep deprivation, and chronic stress. Each of those factors can be modified. That means your future is still modifiable. I mean, look, the technology is incredible. I'm captivated by AI, um, just like you are. But the future of brain health will not be determined by microchips alone. It will be determined by micro-choices, choices like, do I walk for 20 minutes after dinner or do I scroll my phone for 40 minutes? Do I fill my plate with colors and, from plants, or calories, uh, from ultra-processed foods? Do I chase purpose or let the routine chase me? These are questions that form the language of prevention, and they don't require a medical degree to answer them. We just need awareness and consistency. Now, here's a personal thought I wanna leave you with before break.

01:04:03

Speaker 2
The future of health is predictive, preventative, and also participory. Uh, y- you know, predictive in the meaning, like, tools like AI will foresee risk long before symptoms. It's prevented, meaning lifestyle, medicine, it will neutralize that risk. And then also you need to be a participant in this, meaning you're not a bystander, you're the leading physician of your own body. It's not about surrender, it's about that stewardship. (instrumental music plays) So stay with us, friends, because today we're gonna prove that the only thing more powerful than artificial intelligence is the natural intelligence that's residing in you. All right, we're coming up on a break, folks. You'll wanna stick around. You're listening to the Dr. Bob Martin Show.

01:04:50

All right, let's get back in the day's conversation. We've been talking about cognitive health and I, as mentioned, I have a very special guest joining us today, and that is Jane Janson. She's a natural and holistic practitioner at the Tree of Life Wellness Center in Massachusetts.

01:08:48

Speaker 2
Jane has a unique perspective as a medical professional who prior to becoming a natural and holistic practitioner, has spent years in radiology, in ultrasound doing research and also performing tests on patients with, uh, all different types of health problems, including cardiovascular and, uh, even in the brain. And so Jane joins us to discuss a very exciting, in a newly published study that shows that kyolic aged garlic extract enhances cognition by increasing nitric oxide. Uh, so Jane, I wanna welcome you back to the show.

01:09:23

Speaker 17
Excellent. So glad to be here. Thank you.

01:09:26

Speaker 2
All right. Welcome, welcome back, Jane. Uh, according to the Alzheimer's Association, an estimated 7.2 million Americans age 65 and older are currently living with Alzheimer's. That's a huge number. Uh, can you go into a little bit more detail on that?

01:09:42

Speaker 17
I mean, the concern also, there's another study that came out recently too that showed that between 2013 and 2020, '23, uh, young adults ages 18 to 20, uh, 39, uh, showed significant more doubled the amount of, uh, cognitive decline.

01:10:03

Speaker 2
Wow.

01:10:03

Speaker 17
So it's not just an old people that we have to be concerned, obviously, you know, but also the younger generation, um, is so- showing earlier decline than they should be. And so again, um, there's so many different studies out there right now, um, on the, you know, trying to use different med- medical treatments and things that some have been okay, some, eh, they're still kinda waiting on. But the exciting thing is new studies, particularly looking at nitric oxide, um, which is a natural that our body actually produces, but we can also enhance, um, to help, uh, prevent down the road vascular, um, disease as well as, again, brain function, particularly cognitive function, uh, in the future.

01:10:54

Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. And ab- absolutely, Jane. I, I think that's an important reminder that the connection between nitric oxide in brain health at any age is often overlooked. Uh, I, I think it's remarkable that it's such a, a small simple molecule, nitric oxide, it can have this huge impact on how we, how we think, how we learn, and also remember at, uh... So I wanna explore what people can actually do about, uh, about how they can get nitric oxide and how, how that can stay at a, at a good level at any age.

01:11:28

Speaker 17
Uh, in particular, uh, eating healthy foods, which sounds, you know, kinda, oh yeah, healthy foods is the answer to everything, but it really is.

01:11:37

Speaker 2
Mm-hmm.

01:11:38

Speaker 17
Um, but in particular, there are certain types of foods that are more beneficial in, uh, containing nitric oxide, uh, and helping, um, again, to increase that level, which is going to protect not only the vascular system, but also the neurons in the brain and the signaling that goes between the different neurons, uh, to impro- improve cognitive function. Um, and beets in particular, I think a lot of people have been starting to utilize beets more. Um, and then also the green foods are very helpful. Um, again, hydration is really important, but what's really exciting now is study, this new study that has just recently come out about aged garlic extract improving, uh, nitric oxide levels in the brain. It's really, um, it's like the biggest thing.

01:12:33

Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. Yeah, and I think, I think it's starting to put, put some things in part- to perspective, Jane. You, you, you're showing us that our, our choices and we're talking about food, what we eat, what we, what we supplement, it can, it can actually change how our brain performs. I, I love that this research is giving people a nutritional strategy rather than just another, another pill, so to speak. Now tell us more about this, the new study that you're talking about. Uh, you know, I, you sent it to me. It sounds, uh, it, it sounds great and fascinating. Can we, uh, tell our listeners, uh, a little bit more about it?

01:13:08

Speaker 17
Sure. Um, I mean, I'm all about the science. Uh, I, you know, anecdotal things are really interesting, but the science explaining why these things are beneficial and what they do for our body, to me is a key component to understand how it's going to help, um, particularly for my patients. And over a thousand published scientific studies, uh, articles have shown that aged garlic extract is effective in helping the vascular system, over a thousand. But now this new study that has just recently come out, uh, in particular, um, it was, uh, published in the World Academy of Sciences Journal, uh, shows that aged garlic extract can enh- enhance effectively the cognitive, uh, increasing of nitro- nitric oxides availability in the brain and in the vascular system.

01:14:04

Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and that's, uh, uh, Jane, that's significant. It's a, a, again, this is a 12-week, uh, improvement that's shown in, in a very well-controlled study. And, and that's no small, small task or small thing. And so I g- I appreciate how this team approached it scientifically. The, the tie-in between better circulation and stronger cognition, it, it makes, it makes perfect sense. Uh, so let's, let's unpack what these findings really mean for everyday listeners looking to stay mentally sharp.

01:14:37

Speaker 17
Again, one of the key components of aged garlic extract, um, is that it helps to incr- improve the endothelial lining of the blood vessels, which is where, this is where nutrients come and go, but also toxins get eliminated. But they found again that the aged garlic extract improves this nitric oxide levels, which helps protect the endothelial lining, helps to prevent plaque buildup in the arteries and actually reverse it, and help with the blood-brain barrier. Um, that is where, again, nutrients get into the brain, but are not allow- uh, and toxins are allowed to get out of the brain, which can damage the nervous system as well as the vascular system, and again, improve cognitive function.

01:15:27

Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So, so again, you sent this, uh, study to me, and, and the, the highlights of it, it's an estimated, of course, we talked about the 7.2 million older Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's disease, and this nitric oxide, it enhances communication between those, those neurons in the brain, and it reduces the overall inflammation, and it supports blood flow to the, uh, in the brain and to the brain. So the, so the body's, its production of nitric oxide, we know it declines with, with age, and I think the, the research is showing up to, uh, a loss of up to 75% by age, uh, age 70. Is that, is that what you're seeing in, in practice as well? Uh, uh, like, when we start to do this, is it like, like, "Hey, um, how do we slow this down?" And then now we got, now we got a step that we can do that.

01:16:18

Speaker 17
Yes. Um, and I, again, unfortunately, nobody wants to, um, you know, go on to develop Alzheimer's or dementia. We've all had, you know, family members or friends that, you know, it's very sad. It's also, but we don't... We wanna make sure it doesn't happen to us.

01:16:36

Speaker 2
Absolutely.

01:16:36

Speaker 17
Um, and so, uh, the aged garlic extract, again, because of this study by a cardiologist, um, famous cardiologist, uh, Dr. Matthew Budoff, um, that 92% of the people in the aged garlic extract group had no cognitive impairment during the study. At the end of the study, they... Prior to the study, they tested them. At the end of the study, they tested them, and 92% had no cognitive decline as compared to the people who were on the placebo, and they did have significant cognitive decline.

01:17:15

Speaker 2
Wow. Wow. And that i- that is a, uh, a huge, a huge number that we need to take into account when we're looking at, looking at these studies. We're talking with Jane Jansen. She's a natural and holistic practitioner at the Tree of Life in Massachusetts. And today, we're talking about ky- like aged garlic extract, in particular their cardiovascular and immune reserve formula number 200. When we come back, uh, we're gonna get in this a little bit more. You're listening to the Dr. Bob Martin Show.

Welcome back, Dr. Adam Brockman here, and you're tuned into the Dr. Bob Martin Show, and we're talking with Jane Jansson today. And I also want to remind you, if you got questions about, uh, the topic we're, we're discussing, cognitive health, uh, you can, you can email us, uh, at any time. Uh, all you gotta do is head over to drbob.com. That's spelling out the word doctor, D-O-C-T-O-R bob.com. In there, you can also find our entire podcast library and some other resources that are available 24/7. Again, that's drbob.com and you can also call us at our toll-free hotline at 800-606-8822. Again, that's 800-606-8822. All right, Jane. Let's get back in today's conversation. Again, we're talking about the, the study and again, um, we're talking about this estimated, uh, you know, over seven million, uh, older Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's.

01:22:14

Speaker 2
And, uh, we're talking about the benefit of, uh, Ayolic aged garlic extract in improving the nitric oxide levels, uh, levels in the brain, the blood flow to the brain. And, uh, and we know that it, that the production of nitric oxide, it declines as we age. Uh, you told us some foods that were rich in nitric oxide and, uh, that can help offset this. But I, I want again to hit some of those key, uh, key statistics, key highlights of the study, uh, before we get into, uh, into how the benefits of aged garlic extract helps.

01:22:47

Speaker 17
Uh, again, I think th- this is an amazing study. Uh, it was a double-blind study and, um, over 12 weeks significant benefit in those taking aged garlic extract as far as cognitive decline. Uh, and with- within that 12-week period, they tested them before, they tested them afterwards and they had a 92% of the people in the group taking aged garlic extract did not show cognitive decline as compared to the people who, uh, were taking a placebo.

01:23:21

Speaker 2
Uh, wow, and that's a... The study was a double-blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial and it suggests that supple- uh, supplement with aged garlic extract, uh, enhances that nitric oxide, uh, bioavil- availability in the body, uh, ex- uh, particular in the brain. And that improves cognitive function in people, uh, even in the pre-hypertension, uh, or hypertensive, uh, state. And Jane, you know, I- I appreciate how ayolic is, uh, you know, they're, they're very transparent about using the same formula that was tested in these studies. And that sets a, what I consider, a high bar for integrity in the supplement world. And it, and it's great to know, uh, that people can take this, this research validated dose so easily. Uh, so I wanna, I wanna talk about more the specifics of, uh, the, the formula 200, uh, in how you recommend our listeners to, uh, to use that for cognitive health.

01:24:22

Speaker 17
Uh, it's a high potency formula. Um, and so it's very easy, um, it's, it's call- number 200, it's called Kai- Kaio- Cardiovascular and Immune Reserve. Um, and all you have to do is take one or two capsules twice a day. Super simple. Super easy. But can make significant changes, uh, for you both, um, also helping blood pressure, um, helping with, um, again, uh, cognitive function, circulation, but also the neurons in the brain to keep them healthy and keep them signaling appropriately. So the... And that's a key component, but also helping to, um, with the blood-brain barrier and what they call, um, the glymphatic system, which is the lymphatic system of the brain, to help remove waste while you're sleeping. That's when you do most of the waste removal. And otherwise, what happens is you have these different tau proteins, um, and that, you know, damage the nervous system as well as the, um, again, the vascular system. So a huge part of developing Alzheimer's, uh, can be prevented.

01:25:37

Speaker 2
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah, exactly right, Jane. Uh, as y- as you said, it's, it's not just a hopeful talk, it's the science that's catching up with what nature has been showing us all along. Uh, and we're talking about, you know, for baby boomers and beyond, simple interventions like aged garlic extract, it could be that bridge between aging and aging well. So I know, I know that, uh, you've written a blog on this, this recently and, uh, so I wanna, I wanna touch on e- exactly some of the, th- some of the key points in, in your blog.

01:26:11

Speaker 17
Uh, again, uh, it's just amazing and the blog was particularly, you know, I was going for cognitive function, you know, how can we improve upon it and looking at all the different potential things that could be helpful. Aged garlic extract come, coming up as the thing to be most beneficial. I personally take it, my husband take it, my kids take it, um, and they have so many different formulas. But again, vascular integrity, the endothelial lining not only protecting it from damage, protecting from plaque buildup, but also removal as well as, again, repair, uh, that, you know, helps the whole body. If your circulatory system is functioning appropriately, then that can make a big difference, particularly for the heart and the brain.

01:26:59

Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. All right, we're talking with Jane Jansen. She's a natural and holistic practitioner, and we're talking about the, the recent study that was done by Kyolic aged garlic extract, uh, in particular, cardiovascular and immune reserve formula number 200. And it, uh, what we're suggesting is about, uh, 1,200 milligrams of aged garlic extract per serving, which is about two capsules and, uh, and you may, if you need to really get it into your system, maybe, uh, maybe two, up to two servings a day, uh, would that be a reasonable, uh, recommendation?

01:27:33

Speaker 17
I think anybody particularly who's taking, uh, high blood pressure medication, who have cardiovascular issues, but also, um, things that potentially can decrease your nitric oxide levels are like the acid inhibitors that so many people are on right now, uh, that, um, you know, for acid reflux, uh, as well as other types of medications that can potentially, uh, you know, affect, again, the nitric oxide levels.

01:27:59

Speaker 17
So yeah, and particularly as we get older, uh, I'm gonna be 71 in a, in a, in a week (laughs) and I want-

01:28:05

Speaker 2
(laughs) A, a very young 71.

01:28:07

Speaker 17
(laughs) Well, thank you. But I want vitality.

01:28:09

Speaker 2
Mm-hmm.

01:28:09

Speaker 17
I want brain function. I wanna be able to not just live longer, but have quality of life, uh, and particularly the neurological aspect.

01:28:18

Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And, and this, uh, formula by Ky- Kyolic aged garlic extract, it supports overall heart health, including what you said, the circulation, the blood pressure, uh, and cholesterol and if it's already within those normal ranges and, and also the immune, immune system. And so, so we're talking about today the new research that's showing Kyolic aged garlic extract is effectively enhancing the global cognition, uh, by increasing nitric oxide and that, uh, can improve a number of different things within, within the brain and nervous system itself. So Kyolic aged garlic extracts, the benefits go, uh, go far beyond heart and immune health for the whole body, uh, and keeping it in, in check and brain health through the, through the years. Again, we're talking with Jane Jansen and if you've got, uh, questions about Kyolic, they got a wonderful team, uh, team to help you if you wanna call their toll-free hotline, which is 800-421-2998.

01:33:13

Speaker 2
Welcome back, Dr. Adam Brockman here as we return to the Dr. Bob Martin Show, America's number one health talk radio program. We're, uh, having a great conversation today with Jane Jansen and, uh, we're talking about Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract, uh, in- in the cognitive health. But Jane, I also want to, uh, to hit the- some of the other- other benefits. Again in your- in your blog, you talked about how everything is- is connected, the diet, stress, the sleep, the circulation, uh, when we take care of all these daily habits, we're not just protecting our- our memory like we've been talking about today, but our overall body. We're also in- investing in our- in our future health, uh, and so Kyolic's got- got many great formulas. Um, I- I want you to just, uh, talk about a couple- a couple of your, uh, the formulas that- that you recommend to your patients.

01:34:01

Speaker 17
Well, first I want to say also that, you know, aged garlic extract is totally safe, um, anybody can take it, um, and it, again, will enhance, um, your overall whatever natural regime that you're doing. I think it's even more important than, uh, a multivitamin. For me, it's a foundational supplement. But also they have different formulas that they add to the aged garlic extract, different nutrients that can help. In particular, um, they have one that's called Kyolic Brain Memory which also has some ginseng which kind of helps the energy of the body, uh, as well as, um, some other nutrients that, um, like Ginkgo biloba that also improves circulation. So it's a good combination formula. Um, and then, um, I mentioned sleep in, um, my blog, how important that is for, again, removing the waste products, um, that, uh, otherwise get stuck up in the brain if you're not having quality sleep. And they have a fantastic formula called Kyolic's, um, Sleep Formula.

01:35:11

Speaker 17
Um, and it's- it's amazing, um, that will help. Um, it has the mushrooms in it. Um, and so again, to get better quality sleep and get the aged garlic extract, I think that would be a, uh, great combination to add into, um... And then they have a whole bunch of ones, Brain Focus. So I think the best thing for people to do is to go to the Kyolic website, uh, kyolic.com, K-Y-O-L-I-C .com, and look at the different formulas and see which one fits your needs. Um, and you can't take too much of the aged garlic extract.

01:35:52

Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. Yeah. And- and again, they got a wonderful team to help you if you have questions and I- I encourage you to also call their toll-free number at 800-421-2998. Again, that's 800-421-2998. All right, Jane, so we got just a- just a couple minutes, uh, minutes left and I wanna- I wanna go back and- and tie in, uh, some more on this, uh, on the Alzheimer's, the- the research behind this and the- and the cognitive help and why this is- is so important. Again, um, can you- can you sum up some of those- those foods you mentioned earlier in the show that help to improve the nitric oxide, uh, production in the- in the body?

01:36:33

Speaker 17
Absolutely. Beets are fantastic. Uh, as well as, um, taking citrus. Citrus is good. The green leafy vegetables in particular are helpful. Um, and, you know, exercise. You mentioned exercise earlier as being very important. Yes, because it improves, again, the circulation, but again, also improves the nitric oxide levels flowing throughout the body, um, that help to protect our nervous system, our vascular system and our, particularly our brains. Uh, because if we don't have our brains, we're not gonna be able to do much of anything else (laughs) .

01:37:07

Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. Yeah. A- absolutely. And we... Again, we know that, uh, we want to stay healthy as long as- as we can. The- the baby boomer generation is, uh, is now entering 60s, 70s and such and this becomes a- a topic of conversation. You see a lot of, uh, the word nitric oxide out in, uh, in the- in the public right now all- all over the place and this- this is, again, a very simple way to improve that with Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract, the cardiovascular and immune reserve formula number 200. Again, we're talking with Jane Jansen. And Jane, again, we got, uh, we got just a- a minute or so left, so I wanna- I wanna- I wanna ask you, when- when you're treating patients now, uh, when- when they're coming in and they're saying, "Hey, you know, I have this- I have this brain fog," and maybe they didn't have that just- just five years or- or so back, would- would this be another one of those things that they can take for that?

01:38:11

Speaker 17
Absolutely. It is one of those things I have them take.

01:38:13

Speaker 2
Hmm.

01:38:14

Speaker 17
Uh, it, again, it's a foundational supplement that I think just about everybody should be taking. Again, find the formula that fits you.But if you don't know, uh, do take the, um, reserve formula, uh, number 200, because that's a good, again, high potency, beneficial and effective, and I see that with my patients, effective way of improving brain function.

01:38:38

Speaker 2

If you're loving our conversations, why not share the health wisdom? Tell a friend, a family member or a loved one to join us. Together, we can continue to build a community that's committed to a better living. And remember, Dr. Bob and I, we're always here for your health questions at 800-606-8822. Again, that's 800-606-8822. Again, I wanna say thank you to Jane. Uh, she had a great discussion, an important breakthrough for anyone concerned about cognitive decline as they age. You know, uh, folks, what Jane just outlined underscores the truth that we've been talking about on the show for years. The body has a extraordinary capacity to heal and protect itself when given the raw materials. So here's the key takeaway: You're not powerless against brain aging. Supporting your nitric oxide levels may be one of the most overlooked and science-based ways to do it. As we just heard, nitric oxide acts like a traffic cop for the circulatory system.

01:44:09

Speaker 2
It keeps the vessels open, the blood flowing, and neurons firing effectively. And when it drops off as we age, sometimes by as much as 75%, your brain starts to operate like a city with rolling blackouts. Now, nature doesn't mis- make the mistakes. It gives us real tools to correct those imbalances. Like beets and dark chocolate, leafy greens and citrus, even just by movement itself, all stimulate nitric oxide. And then we got the research that Jane shared with us today, it adds an impressive new layer, and that's Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract isn't just supporting your heart, it also is keeping your brain sharp. And the good news, because prevention doesn't come from a pill bottle alone, it comes from the partnership of your food, you, your movement, and yes, proven natural compounds like Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract that are grounded in credible clinical research. And I also like to emphasize this for our listeners, brain health doesn't begin when memory starts slipping, it begins now.

01:45:18

Speaker 2
Whether you're 35 or 75, your brain thrives on circulation and oxygen and anti-inflammatory support. And nitric oxide is part of that equation, and Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract helps restore that balance safely, naturally and effectively. And so if we think about this practically, if you're already taking steps for your heart or your metabolism or your immune system, supporting nitric oxide bridges all three. It's the nerve network, the immune supporter, uh, the circulatory guardian, and it's all in one. And so a big thanks again to Jane for shining a light on this study out of Harbor and UCLA and, and, uh, and the work that they've been doing. This, uh, might just be one of the most promising examples yet of how nutrition and neuroscience are converging. And not just to extend lifespan, but to enhance healthspan. So friends, if you want to dive deeper into what, uh, these studies mean, head over to kyolic.com or you can even go to our website at drbob.com.

01:46:20

Speaker 2
And as always, the conversation doesn't stop here. Call us at 800-606-8822 and share your story, your experience, or your questions about healthy cognition. Because here's the truth, protecting your brain today paves the way for a richer, more active, and more joyful tomorrow. All right, be well, folks.

01:48:59

Speaker 2
Good day and welcome to The Dr. Bob Martin Show, the place where common sense meets uncommon health wisdom. I'm Dr. Adam Brockman. And folks, you know, health isn't just the absence of disease, it's the presence of vitality, resilience, and purpose. And if your energy's been dragging, if you've been told you'll just have to live with it, then stay right here, because today we're rewriting that in real time. And I'm making it easy for you to do that right now. The phone lines are open. You can call us at 800-606-8822. Again, that's 800-606-8822.

All right, folks, health is earned daily. It's not a one pill promise, it's a collection of tiny wise choices that stack up over time. Every breath, every laugh, every healthy meal, every step taken outdoors, it, it all starts to recalibrate your biology towards better performance. If you think about it for just a second-You're not powerless, you're not stuck. You're the captain of your cellular fleet. And today, we're recharting that course. Are you tired of being told your genes are your destiny? Well, guess what? They're not. The science of epigenics tells us that our lifestyle choices, our lifestyle choices switch those genes on and off like a dimmer control. Your breakfast, your bedtime, your thought patterns, they're... Or, that's your language or your biology.

01:51:18

Speaker 2
So when I say health is in your hands, I mean it literally. In this hour, we're gonna dive into how these small changes can make seismic shifts. Why hydration isn't just about water, it's about cellular communication. Why posture affects mood as much as meditation. Why your gut might be the silent conductor that's orchestrating your immune symphony. Or also, your fatigue. And most importantly, why hope is the most underrated healing tool that you have. You might hear a little tough love today, but you'll also hear compassion that's grounded in science and seasoned with experience. Uh, Dr. Bob and I, we spent decades studying functional, natural, and regenerative medicine, and one truth stands out above the rest: your body wants to heal. You just need to stop getting in its way. Now, we all do that sometimes. But if that message resonates with you, jot down this number again, because you'll need it. It's 800-606-8822.

01:52:30

Speaker 2
That's your invitation to participate in the kind of conversation that could change your life, or even someone that you love. This show isn't a lecture hall. It's a lighthouse for people that are ready to turn the tide. And remember, community matters.

Now, some might tune in today expecting the latest health gadget, a celebrity diet, or magic fix. And well, you may hear about it here, but what you will find also is empowerment. The kind that comes from understanding how your body works and what it truly needs. You are resilient by design.

01:53:29

Speaker 2
And once you start aligning your daily habits with that truth, you'll begin to experiment and experience what I call that vitality snap, that unmistakable shift when energy starts coming to you, not just from caffeine or willpower. Okay, here's, here's what's coming up in today's show: simple, proven strategies to reset your health compass, and that's naturally. We'll talk about the foods that ignite your mitochondria, the daily rituals that sharpen your focus, and the mindsets that prevent burnout before it begins. No, no fluff, no fear, just the facts that will fuel your best self. So I want you to buckle in, my friends, because the, the road to better health isn't paved with fads; it's lined with fundamentals, and we're about to revisit them with fresh eyes and renewed purpose. I want you to stay tuned, stay curious, and stay connected with us, because life's, life's too short to feel anything less than exceptional.

01:54:31

Speaker 2
So folks, welcome to today's show, and where your health journey begins right now. Okay, friends, let's get into this week's health headlines. From forever chemicals to wearable technology that reads your stress levels, let's take a closer look. Let's start with those infamous PFAS compounds, better known as the forever chemicals. They've been found in our tap water, non-stick cookware, and even in rainwater worldwide, and the concern is that they're nearly impossible for the body to break down. But this week, researchers at the University of North Carolina made a discovery that could change the game, identifying a potential way to help the body excrete these certain forever ch- chemicals and compounds through enhanced bile processing. And further, the, if the studies confirm it, we may be looking at the first biologically plausible detox route for these stubborn toxins.

01:55:30

Speaker 2
And, uh, so, if you're looking at what you can do right now while the science starts to catch up, support your liver, your body's natural fil- filtration system. We're talking about botan- botanicals like milk thistle, burdock, and dandelion root that have long been studied for optimizing bile flow and detoxification. And also, look at hydration and high-fiber foods that play a huge role in binding and eliminating fat-soluble toxins. Next up is a meta-analysis from the, uh, JAMA that's been making major waves. After pulling data from over a dozen countries, researchers confirmed a strong correlation between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and significantly higher risk of anxiety and depression. And here's the kicker: it held up even after taking into account outliers like income, exercise, and education. So the translation? It's not just lifestyle that connects your brain to your plate, it's the food itself. But let's not oversimplify this just as chips equal sadness.

01:56:37

Speaker 2
What's emerging is that these foods loaded with emulsifiers, synthetic additives, and degraded fats, they interfere with the gut-brain axis and the inflammatory pathways, and even neurotransmitter production.So if you're feel- been feeling foggy or flat, you can start small. Swap your boxed breakfast cereal for steel-cut oats and fruit. Uh, replace packaged snacks with nuts or air popped popcorn. Each of these unprocessed choices rebalances the gut's ecosystem, supporting serotonin and dopamine production naturally. Mood medicine can begin in your kitchen. And finally, just when we, we thought that we had vitamin D figured out, a European study flipped long-held assumptions. A, the research found that maintaining blood levels above 40, uh, nanograms per milliliter could lower upper respiratory infections by nearly 30%. Now, before you dash out and over-supplement yourself, context matters. Vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a vitamin.

01:57:44

Speaker 2
It regulates hundreds of genes, uh, involved in immunity. But effective supplementation often requires vitamin K2 and magnesium for balance and absorption. So ask your provider for a simple blood test. If you're under that 40 mark, talk about a safe monitored strategy. Always pair supplementation with natural sunlight where possible. Uh, 15 minutes a day, uh, maybe it's midday, that exposure can make a remarkable difference. Nature's pharmacy is still open for business. So each of these stories, the, the, uh, the forever chemicals, the detox, the diet and mood, and these sunshine horm- hormones, it points in one clear direction. And we're talking pro-activity over reactivity. The new frontier of health isn't just about technology or pills, it's about personalization, prevention, and participation. Okay, we'll be right back with our health alternative of the week. You're listening to The Dr. Bob Martin Show.

Welcome back. You're listening to The Dr. Bob Martin Show. And I'm Dr. Adam Brockman, and Dr. Bob and I we're all about helping you live and thrive naturally, and also teaching you to become your own best doctor most of the time. And if you've got questions about your health or anything health-related, our toll-free hotline is open for you at 800-606-8822. Again, that's 800-606-8822. Let's get back into it with our health alternative of the week. (instrumental music plays) Today's spotlight shines on a remarkable plant compound been looked at, es- for centuries from the deserts of Egypt to the healing kitchens of India, and that is cold pressed black cumin seed oil. Black cumin seed oil has been called the remedy for everything but death, and that's a phrase that's attributed to prophets more than 1,300 years ago. And modern science is beginning to affirm what ancient healers always suspected, and that is that black cumin seed oil supports multiple systems within the bod- the body.

02:03:40

Speaker 2
It's a golden black elixir that's derived from tiny seeds packed with a compound that's shown to have an antioxidant, uh, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. And unlike heavily refined oils found in many store bought products, cold pressed black cumin seed oil preserves a delicate molecular formula and profile that maintains the enzymatic activity. This makes it more potent and bioavailable-ailable to your body. In a world where synthetic peel- pills, uh, dominate everything, th- this ancient seed reminds us that nature still writes the best prescriptions. M- health challenges today often root in chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction, two areas where black cumin seed oil shines. Studies published in journals, uh, such as Frontiers in Pharmacology suggest that black cumin acts as a natural modulator of inflammation and enhances efficiency by stimulating white blood cell activity and reduces that oxidative stress on your body. And if your immune system...

02:04:50

Speaker 2
Uh, imagine it like your security team, and black cumin is the calm, capable commander. It can keep you alert but never over reactive. This balance is key in today's environment where overactive immune responses can lead to autoimmune conditions and under active ones can leave you vulnerable to infections. Black cumin seed oil may also support healthy cholesterol levels, assist respiratory comfort, and help regulate blood sugar balance. Some evidence points to the- its positive role in liver he- health and detoxification, and that's thanks to the ability to neutralize free radicals. In essence, it operates like an internal cleanup crew, and it restores order at the cellular level. The key to success with any natural therapy is wise integration. You can take black cumin seed oil in two main forms, and that's liquid or soft gel capsules. In the liquid form, I suggest taking one teaspoon daily preferably with food to enhance absorption- absorption and minimize any bitterness.

02:05:57

Speaker 2
You can drizzle salads or blend it into green smoothies. M- Just don't heat it. The high temperature degrades its active compounds. As far as, uh, if you prefer convenience, two soft gels typically containing about 1,000 milligrams total can deliver a similar daily dose, and if you choose organic cold pressed options, that's without fillers or- or artificial additives. And I suggest that you start gradually. Like a fine espresso, a little goes a long way. Um, uh, some may start with half a teaspoon daily and increase as tolerated, and keep your healthcare provider informed, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or you're taking medications that affect immune or liver function. Your best bet is to look for organic cold pressed black cumin seed oil from reputable brands and publish third party testing, uh, if they- if they got results on that.

02:06:54

Speaker 2
Avoid blend- blended products that dilute the black cumin with cheaper carrier oils, and if you look at natural supplements, um, in the aisles of health food stores like, uh, like Natural Grocers. Uh, and note natural black cumin seed oils, it's also not for everybody. It's generally safe in foods, uh, food-like doses, but large amounts can- can thin the blood or slightly lower your blood pressure. And if you're taking any anticoagulant medications, blood pressure drugs, or you're preparing for surgery, uh, discuss its use with your healthcare provider. Also, I want you... I wanna note that the oil has a- a potent flavor. It's peppery, it's earthy, and somewhat bitter to the palate. But also remember, bitterness is often the taste of medicine, uh, that's working in harmony with the body. And folks, the importance of segments like the Health Alternative of the Week lies in discovery. We're not chasing the nex- the next fad.

02:07:56

Speaker 2
We're reviving respect for time-tested, research-supported natural options that help you become your own best doctor. Black cumin seed oil, it exemplifies this harmony. It's an ancient tradition that intersects with modern science, offering a practical pathway towards that immune resilience and that metabolic repair. If you're swapping out the reprocessed or those ultra-processed seed oils for a seed oil that is actually truly good for you in cumin seed oil, you- you simplify your, uh, your diet and it amplifies your results, and the cost is modest. And let's remember, empowerment begins not at the pharmacy but at the interface of knowledge and choice. And when you articulate why something works and how to use it wisely, you're no longer a passive consumer. You're a participant in your own healthy narrative. So the next time the- the winter sniffles strike or fatigue feels uninvited, before you reach for another artificial fix, consider turning to the humble black cumin seed oil.

02:09:05

Speaker 2
It's proof that nature rarely needs, uh, reintervention. It just needs rediscovery.Your vitality isn't by accident. It's the accumulation of smarter daily decisions. Make this one yours. This has been your Health Alternative of the Week. (intense music) Let's head to an email question, and it's an excellent question from Bruce in Lewiston, Idaho. He asked, "I was driving ... I couldn't write it down. You mentioned other blood tests that tells more about your true health, true health picture. Iron, zinc, copper, B6, B12, things like that. Could you repeat them?" All right, Bruce. Well, first, great memory. You're absolutely right. That list is pure gold when it comes to understanding what's going on inside the beautiful human engine of yours. Here's what I tell every patient who wants to know more than just, "Hey, let's look at your numbers," and they look fine. Let's start with the iron panel. It's not just iron we're talking about ferritin, TIBC, and, and transferrin, uh, saturation.

02:10:28

Speaker 2
That quartet shows, uh, whether you're running low like a half empty gas tank or storing too much, which is also just as dangerous. Next, let's check the zinc and copper. Those are your spark plug minerals for energy, immunity, and brain health. And it's not just a single number, it's the balance that matters. And if you add in B6 for mood chemistry and hormone regulation, and B, uh,12, uh, plus folate, because that trio keeps your blood, uh, your red blood cells and your memory, memory working smoothly. And as for vitamin D, that's the sunshine vitamin that acts more like a hormone, and RBC magnesium. That's the form that reveals what's inside your cells, not just floating in your bloodstream. Finally, two silent tell-alls are homocysteine and methylmalonic acid. They show whether your body is actually using those B vitamins efficiently. And if you really want to look at the whole picture, round it out with a comprehensive metabolic panel and a thyroid panel that includes antibodies.

02:11:33

Speaker 2
Uh, so Bruce, that's a great question, and I want you to ... Folks, keep those questions coming. And remember, you can't manage what you don't measure. So get curious about your numbers and get proactive about your wellness. All right, folks. It's time. We're coming up on a break. We'll be right back. This is the Dr. Bob Martin Show.

Speaker 2
Welcome back. Dr. Adam Brockman here, as we return to Health Talk America's The Dr. Bob Martin Show, America's number one health talk radio program. Before we jump back into today's conversation, I also wanna remind you that your wellness journey continues even when we're off air. Our physician team is always available for you at 800-606-8822. Again, that's 800-606-8822 for your health questions. And also, don't forget, you can access our entire podcast library anytime at drbob.com. There, you can re-listen to your favorite episodes or catch up on shows you've missed, all available at drbob.com, spelling out the word "doctor", D-O-C.com. All right, folks, let's talk about something you might not think about until it hurts, and that's your mouth. Now, most of us brush, maybe floss when we can remember, but oral health is about way more than just keeping that smile camera-ready. It's actually one of the most important windows into our whole-body wellness. And why, you ask?

02:16:31

Speaker 2
Because your mouth isn't just where food starts. It's where inflammation and infection and imbalance can sneak their way into your entire system. That's exactly why I trust and I personally use the Spry Dental Defense System. Spry isn't just your average toothpaste and mouthwash combo. It's a smarter, it's a cleaner, and it's a more natural way to support your mouth's natural defenses, powered by one key ingredient, and that's xylitol. Now, you might have heard that word before, especially on the show, but here's what makes it very special. Xylitol is- it's a gentle plant-based sweetener that actually helps starve cavity-causing bacteria instead of feeding them like sugar does. That means less plaque, fewer cavities, and fresher breath, and a better environment for the mouth that you live in. Think of it as your dental ecosystem's best ally. And here's how I use it, and it's how you can too. Each day I brush with Spry toothpaste.

02:17:36

Speaker 2
I follow up with Spry mouthwash, and I chew Spry gum after meals. That's a three-step rhythm that keeps my enamel strong, it neutralizes acids, and it has my dentist grinning every time I have a checkup. And the best part, you can find Spry just about anywhere, CVS, Target, Sprouts and Natural Grocers, wherever you're already shopping for health and wellness. And here's something else that you'll love. Spry comes from the same trusted people who make Xlear nasal spray. That's spelled X-L-E-A-R, but it's pronounced "clear". It's the natural saline spray with xylitol that helps clean, soothe, and moisturize your nasal passages. It's perfect for anyone that's dealing with dry indoor air or congestion or the seasonal sniffles. Now, how about a little bonus for you listeners? We're giving away a Spry Dental Defense bundle plus an Xlear nasal spray pack to just a few lucky winners this month.

02:18:39

Speaker 2
All you gotta do is call 800-606-8822 or visit drbob.com and tell us why you're ready to upgrade your oral and nasal health routine. And that's it. Uh, if you wanna know more about how this natural system works, head over to xlear.com. Again, that's xlear.com, spelled X-L-E-A-R .com, and that will give you the science behind Spry and the Xlear nasal sprays. Because when your mouth and your airways are healthy, everything else gets better, your breath, your sleep, your confidence, and your energy. So go Spry and breathe clear with Xlear. Live better and keep smiling naturally. Let's get to the health outrage of the week. (upbeat music) Folks, let's talk about one of the most disturbing health trends sweeping America, and that's a crisis not just about metabolism, but of money.

02:19:53

Speaker 2
We've entered an era where tens of thousands of citizens, many already struggling with inflation and medical expenses, are now taking out loans and maxing credit cards to pay for weight loss injections like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. This is not happening overseas. This is happening right here in the United States, the wealthiest nation on Earth, where the illusion of quick-fix wellness has become a new form of debt. Across the country, people are spending anywhere from $900 to $1,400 a month to stay on these self-injectable GLP-1 drugs, medications that were first approved to treat diabetes, not belly fat. And while some see impressive early weight loss, the backlash comes hard and fast, muscle wasting, nutrient, uh, depletion, rebound weight gain, and a financial hangover that can last far longer than any positive result. And none of this is healthy progress.

02:20:56

Speaker 2
It's a pay-to-play illusion that's promoted by billion-dollar pharmaceutical giants in the celebrity culture that props them up. Now, here's the part that will make your blood boil. Unlike insurance coverage diabetes treatments, the- most weight loss prescriptions in this class are not covered by health plans. Employers and insurances, uh, they balk at fitting, uh, footing the bill, so Americans are turning to personal loans and third-party lending apps and buy-now, pay-later pharmacy programs just to stay on these injections. And-... the result. Uh, people can't quit without their bodies rebounding and their wallets collapsing. The- the moment you stop paying, the weight comes roaring back, sometimes even more than before, and it pushes many right back into the same chemical dependency program or cycle. It's not a solution, it's a pay-per-pound treadmill. And the profiteering doesn't start, uh, just start with the, uh, the pharmaceuticals.

02:22:00

Speaker 2
It's also the- the manufacturers and the telemarketing clinics that are pushing these drugs through influencer campaigns that skip over the, uh, emotional and psychological consequences. We got TikTok and YouTube and Instagram that are now... They're saturated with the before and after videos from uncredentialed promoters, and their message is, "Inject your way to confidence." Uh, what- what they never show is the aftermath, the nausea, the gallstones, the energy crashes, the hormonal imbalances, and those shocking monthly bills. And, uh, before anyone borrows money to chase this thinness, let's talk about real, proven metabolic medicine. Uh, blood sugar regulation through whole foods, the high intensity interval training and- with natural agents like chromium, berberine, and adaptogen botanicals that support appetite balance without bankrupting you. This is what we should be looking at. And more importantly, let's start the conversation about mental health and food literacy.

02:23:04

Speaker 2
Uh, nobody should have to mortgage their monthly budget for confidence. True weight loss is free when it begins with self-worth and structure and support, and not the shame, the debt, and the dependency. And so that's what this week's health outrage of the week, uh, people going into debt for those GLP-1 drugs. We'll be right back. You're listening to the Dr. Bob Martin Show. (upbeat music)

02:24:00

Now more than ever, it is important to have a healthy immune system. Many health professionals agree that probiotics are a leading natural therapy for boosting immune health. Why? Because 70% of your body's immune cells reside in the GI tract. By taking a superior probiotic daily, like Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics, you can enhance your overall immune system and immune response. The key to Dr. Ohhira's success is the 500 plus postbiotic metabolites that are in each capsule. Postbiotic metabolites are important to the regulation of most systems in our body. For a short-term immune boost, try Dr. Ohhira's Propolis Plus. Merging nature and science, Dr. Ohhira's Propolis Plus combines Brazilian green propolis, vitamin E, astaxanthin, and tocotrienols for additional and powerful immune support. Be proactive about your immune health. Ask your retailer today about Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics and Dr. Ohhira's Propolis Plus today. Also available online.

Tell a friend, a family member or a loved one to join us. Together we can build a community that's committed to a better living. And also remember, Dr. Bob and I, we're here for your health questions at 800-606-8822. Again, that's 800-606-8822. All right, let's get into today's product recall. (instrumental music) When it comes to home fitness, your treadmill should help your heart, not stop it. This week's product recall of the week involves a significantly high safety concern that could literally go up in smoke in the- if ignored. It's Johnson Health Technology, it's expanding its recall of Matrix Retail and Vision treadmills because of defect in the power cord that could, uh, cause it to loosen from the power socket, creating a potential fire hazard.

02:28:30

Speaker 2
And according to federal safety officials and CNN reports, this expanded recall now covers approximately 47,000 units sold across the United States. And the issue, again, is in some models, the power cord connection may overheat or arc and that's leads to potential smoke, melting, or even fire. So, so far there have been more than- than two dozen reports of this overheating. Though fortunately, no injuries have been reported today. This recall involves multiple treadmill models, including the Matrix Retail and Vision lines, manufactured, again, by Johnson Health Technology. The affected units were sold online and in retail stores nationwide. Each recalled treadmill can be identified by its model and serial number, which are printed on a label affixed to the frame near the power swish-switch or under the treadmill base. Johnson Health is offering replacement power cords at no cost to consumers.

02:29:30

Speaker 2
Again, if you're looking at this, this is Matrix Fitness and Vision, uh, Vision Fitness, and its loose power cord connection that's causing overheating and a fire risk. And it was sold at National Fitness and Sports Good- Sporting Goods retailers nationwide and online at Matrix and Vision websites and other authorized dealers. And this recall was expanded in January of 2026. And for full serial numbers and affected ranges, consumers should visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall page or the manufacturer's official recall page. And your- your health journey, you know, it should start with movement. Treadmill's great, but if your treadmill model is on this list, act today. You can get your power cord replaced, keep your workouts safe, and let your fitness goals burn calories and not the treadmill itself. This has been your product recall of the week. All right, let's- let's- a question from Cindy in Somerset, Kentucky.

02:30:31

Speaker 2
Cindy writes, "Can you recommend a good pur- water purification system? I have a small water purifier, but the filtered water still has a metal taste. I buy spring water that tastes the purest, but of course, it's bottled in plastic. Thank you." Okay. Hi, Cindy. Here's the truth, all water is not created equal. The- even if it looks clear, what's dissolved in it often tells a complete- completely different story. The metallic taste that you're getting is usually residual minerals or trace metals. Things like iron, manganese, or sometimes copper from municipal pipes. Small countertop filters, unfortunately, can only do so much. They mostly remove chlorine and a few particles. If you want, uh, that truly clean, crisp taste, and also real protection, consider upgrading to a multi-stage system, like a activated debated carbon filtration, uh, traps chlorine, pesticides, and, uh, even other contaminants in. Uh, a gold standard is a reverse osmosis membrane.

02:31:39

Speaker 2
It removes heavy metals, uh, fluoride, nitrates, and even, uh, microscopic pharmaceuticals. Then, and this is key, is it needs to have a stage where it reintroduces minerals that add things like calcium and magnesium back in. That's what gives the water a pleasant natural taste without metal notes. And so we got brands like Aquasana, APEC, and Pure Water Systems. They make dependable under-sink reverse osmosis setups. They're also cost-effective, long-term, and they're easily serviceable. And for listeners who prefer something more portable, a Berkey, uh, Gravity system or ZeroWater Pitcher are solid setups from basic filters, especially if you change those filters, uh, on a regular basis. Now, Cindy- Cindy's second point about bottled water and plastic, and she's spot on here.

02:32:42

Speaker 2
Re- research shows that these plastic bottles that, uh, they're water bottles that are everywhere, they can leach compounds, especially when stored, uh, in warm areas or, you know, you leave them in your car and then you drink the water. Uh, so I recommend here glass or stainless steel containers are always better choices for storing purified water. So the- the rule of thumb, filter it well, store it smart, and taste the difference. It's the- the fresh mineral balanced water, it doesn't just taste better, it supports cellular hydration, uh, e- even clearer thinking and energy production at every level. So stay hydrated, Cindy, thanks for the questions. It was a great question. And keep pushing for purity in every sip. All right, folks, we're gonna take a quick, uh- a quick break. You're listening to Health Talk America's The Dr. Bob Martin Show.

02:37:08

Speaker 2
Welcome back. This is Dr. Adam Brockman for The Dr. Bob Martin Show, and we've reached the final home stretch of this hour, and that means it's time for our health mystery of the week. (mysterious mallet and flute music) I hear you. You eat clean, you scrub your home top to bottom, and you avoid chemicals and germs like the plague. And still, you're sneezing, you're wheezing, and nursing those itchy eyes that come during allergy season. If it sounds all too familiar, welcome to this week's health mystery of the week, where we're gonna explore the strange spaces between what science knows and what it's still trying to figure out. Uh, folks, across the globe, especially in highly industrialized countries, allergies and asthma have skyrocketed, in some cases doubling or tripling over just the last generation. What's puzzling doctors and researchers alike is the why. How did cleaner living and improved sanitation somehow make our bodies more reactive?

02:38:16

Speaker 2
The leading idea comes from what's called the hygiene hypothesis that was first floated around in the late 1980s. It suggested that children growing up in ultra-clean environments away from mud, pets, and the usual microbial mess of life weren't getting enough immune training. Their bodies that were deprived from early exposure to harmless germs, they later started mistaking benign things like pollen or peanuts for dangerous invaders. But modern research paints a deeper, more tangled picture. Scientists now believe this isn't just about soap and sanitation. It also involves the gut microbiome, the urban living, diets, uh, pollution, antibiotic use, and even birth practices. Every element plays a role in shaping the immune system's early education. The question is, what's the exact combination that tips the scales toward allergy and inflammation? And so far, studies have found that babies raised around farm animals or household pets tend to have lower allergy rates.

02:39:23

Speaker 2
Breastfeeding and high-fiber diets support gut bacteria that balance immune responses. And meanwhile, kids born via C-section or given frequent antibiotics often miss out on key bacterial exposures that might actually protect them later. Still, the mystery remains. What microbes, uh, actually matter? How much dirt is too much? Can popping a probiotic truly replace childhood play in the grassy or muddy soccer games? Uh, we don't know yet, but the hunt is still on. In the meantime, there are sensible low-risk habits that align evidence, uh, with what we know so far. Let your children play outside. Open windows occasionally to freshen indoor air and include fermented foods and fiber-rich vegetables into your daily meals. They're natural food for helping that gut bacteria. Uh, avoid overusing antibacterial soaps and protect your gut flora by taking antibiotics only when absolutely necessary. And so the takeaway? Health isn't just about defending against the world.

02:40:27

Speaker 2
It's also about staying connected to it. Our immune systems were designed to learn through contact, not avoidance. And perhaps nature doesn't always need to be sterilized. This is Dr. Adam Brockman for The Dr. Bob Martin Show. Thank you for tuning in today, and make it a healthy week. (upbeat music)
