There you will need to spell out the word doctor doctor bob dot com my personal website where you'll find all the news from around the globe that we post up there regularly and all the social media platforms that you can access. I post up there pretty regularly at uh, Instagram, LinkedIn X formerly Twitter. It's all there at doctor Bob dot
com plus the podcast library lives there as well. It's a privilege and honor to be with you here today and we appreciate you tuning into the program Stick around. We're going to begin this hour with a discussion about a common late night habit that may shorten your life by decades. And I used to be
involved in this habit. I used to be heavily involved in just kind of chilling out on the on the couch or in the lazy chair there and sitting back and after a long day of work and just kind of like falling asleep while I was watching a Netflix or something else. This went on in my
early early years, and it was just normal. Everybody did it, right, Well, some sixty percent of Americans have done it at least once, according to recent polls, and around eighty percent of us are at a high risk of this behavior, and that is falling asleep in front of the boob tube television TV. It's easily done, and especially if you're hooked on one of your favorite Netflix series or something that you look forward to watching at night,
but it may be doing more damage than you realize. It seems kind of simple and innocuous and benign, but it can damage you more than you will understand. At least after this she'll understand it. It could even shorten your lifespan to do so. A study of five hundred people found that those who slept with even the smallest amount of ambient lighting in the room were more likely to suffer from diabetes, obesity, and hypertension, some of the nation's
biggest killers. People that slept with dim lighting, such as close to a TV or even a smartphone had higher levels of insulin resistance the next morning. This impacted people and their ability to regulate glucose. And that's the last thing you want to do, is have some type of glucose regulation disruption or dysregulation. Unstable and irregular blood glucose has been lent to a higher risk of type two diabetes. And the differences in obesity and diabetes and the participants was staggering.
And you know, once in a while, I don't think it's any big deal. But what people unfortunately become used to is having lights on as in a TV usually, or some type of light shining in the same room while they're trying to sleep, or having some noise in the room. And
I talked about this in the first hour of the show today. How important it is to not do this, and we're learning more about this all the time, and how deleterious this is to our overall health to not have complete darkness in the bedroom, complete silence, and the right temperature in the room. Your health will be a whole lot better off by switching off all of the screens and all of the devices before going to sleep, and not just
like five minutes. If you're using your cell phone or your smartphone and your text messaging, or you're surfing on the internet while you're watching your favorite television show, you're getting blasted with lots of blu rays, which is basically what it's doing is it's stimulating your brain to tell it to stay awake. It's
not allowing your melatonin to kick in. That's what darkness is about. That's why we sleep while it's darker, at least we should be so if you're imparting light into your eyes, particular ularly blue wave linked light coming out of cell phones and smartphones and to a lesser extent, televisions, because usually we're far enough away from those, but those cell phones are right up at our arm's length and those are shining into the eye, hitting the retina and hitting
parts of our brain that are basically going against our physiology to rest and go to sleep when the sun goes down. So try to make that lifestyle change to give yourself the best chance for a long and happy, healthy life. That's the message the takeaway here now. Doctor Guy Meadows, a clinical director
of the Sleep School in London. He also previously echoed this advice. He said, and I quote, we're designed to sleep in the dark, and when the sun comes up, the light receptors in the retina at the back of the eye tell us it's time to wake up by inhibiting the release of melatonin, the hormone that makes us sleepy. So what you're doing when you're having light shunt in your eyes at night is you're basically your body's trying to put the brake on so that you sleep, so things shut down so you
can recover and heal and rest. And what you're doing by having light hit your eyes by watching television or falling asleep with television on, or prior to maybe a few hours prior to that, you're still using your cell phone as you're basically hitting the gas pedal on staying awake, and this over time has a very deleterious effect on your health. So the better way to regulate sleep is to get away from those habits. And I know we've all done it
to some extent. Any light whatsoever, I don't care. It's a little light shining into the window of your bedroom. It can absolutely your brain picks up on that light and it is trying to arouse the brain. It's still
time to stay up. So bedrooms need to be absolutely so pitch dark you cannot see your hand, and that includes led if you've got a clock in there that's green, or you have something a computer across the room that you can see that's red, or any kind of light that can absolutely just shrupt your sleep hormones and lead you to becoming sleep deprived, whether you know it or not, which triggers all kinds of health related issues, from physical problems
to emotional and mental problems. And tiredness dampens down the effect of the area of the brain called the prefernal cortex in the brain, which is responsible for more rational thought and causes us to use the part of the brain responsible for emotion called the amygdala, which is bringing back some memories of neuroanatomy here. But this is the more primitive emotional regulator in the brain, which exacerbates emotions.
So we wonder why some people are angry, or they're overly aggressive, or they are sad, or they have you know, low moods, or they're blue. It could be related to the stimulus that they're getting. This, according to a study at Ohio State University found in the animal model that that's what's happening. If you expose people to these lights, it can mess
them over physically and emotionally and psychologically. So the takeaway is, get the lights out, get the sound out, get it dark, get the temperature right, snooze down. We'll be right back. I'm doctor Bob Martin. Do you know there is a silent killer living among us? High blood pressure. It affects nearly fifty percent of all American adults and as a primary risk factor for stroke and heart attack. The CDC estimates that almost one third of
those with high blood pressure don't even know they have it. That's not surprising since high blood pressure or hypertension is often symptomless. Research studies have shown that a daily dose of age garlic extract can safely and effectively help to reduce blood pressure as well as benefiting a number of other cardiovascular risks. And the most
researched and highly respected age garlic extract is Kyolic Age Garlic extract.

Should you have a question about your health or somebody else health or a health comment eight eight eight five five three seven two six two eight eight eight five five three seven two six two or one triple eight fifty five Doctor Bob. First up is Dave. Dave's calling in from the state of Iowa. Welcome to the program, Dave, Hello,
hoyway, yes sir, go right ahead. I was I was the following of these weekly injections for weight loss m and one of the topics that your physicians and people don't like to talk about is how by the lack of intake you're taking in the lack of out knowing you have on the other rand m hm, and how that can drastic is that? And and you know, everybody says whether it's take your over the counter, you know, daily supplements and it's popular powder as you can put your drink and but is there anything
else? Is there any other questions I should be asked? In my position? It may help me Twice now in a lot of three months, I've had to this time at work over the issue. Okay, so you're taking a weekly injection for weight loss. Is that correct, like ozembic or wegvy y. Yeah, Okay, if you want or not, No, it
doesn't matter, it's okay. Uh, I'm I'm I'm curious. Is it worth doing this if it means that you are potentially causing abdominal obstruction, because that's one of the side effects of taking those drugs is some people it has been so serious that they've been obstructed and had to have emergency surgery. Because that's the idea behind the drug. It slows down your digestion, it stopped. It's sort of like you know, drugs usually have one of two functions
they do. They either speed things up or slow slow things down. And in this case, that particular drug, amongst other things, it was designed for type two diabetics. Now it's being used off schedule for weight loss. It's the biggest seller out there now, it's the jure popular drug. But gosh, when you read side effects, the potential side effects. You've just named one of them. But you can take that out and say, okay, well suicide's another one. Suicide ideation. Is it worth it, Dave,
to put yourself under that stress? And I know that you know weight gain is not good either, and all the stress associate with that. But the drug, if your body's responding to that in the manner that you're describing, taking the drug is not going, you know, is not going to solve the problem. And if you're looking for ways to bypass that, yeah, there are things that you could be doing to offset that by increasing your
water, maybe exercising more, maybe taking some probiotics. Jeez, but you can't overcome the drug because that drug is paralyzing your gastrointestinal track, your peristalsis, and your body is talking back to you in the form of constipating you. So, uh, I don't know if the answer is you know, you keep doing that, encounter it with something else for the goal of losing
the weight and sort of like having your cake and eating it too. None of it makes any sense to me when I see the continuation of the adverse side effects of these drugs. I asked the question is it worth it? Is there any other way that you could go about doing this? And I know we all want fast, quick, easy stuff, but at what risk? And if you think the risk is there, it's your choice. Number one health concern as we move toward and beyond the age of retirement is fear
of losing our vision and therefore the ability to remain independent. Most of us, at some point in time have uttered the words I'm not seeing as well as I used to, or I think I need stronger glasses. If you are nearing or past age forty, it's not your imagination that your vision is getting worse. What is likely causing your vision to deteriorate is cataract formation. Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy in blocks light from entering,
which interferes with sharp, clear vision. A science based cataract reversal eye drop called can See is changing lives of people with poor vision caused by cataract.

It is now time, ladies and gentlemen for this week's installment of the health Outrage of the Week. I don't believe it. Come on each to for the hell outbreak because it's not brother,
it is outrighteous. And I will tell you from the outset that I'm a parent of six children who were all breastfed, uh and most of them were breastfed for at least a year. Well. The Academy of Pediatrics condemns natural breastfeeding, calling it ethically problematic. In a recent announcement, the American Academy of Pediatrics criticized leading medical and public health organizations for recommending that mothers exclusively breastfeed
their babies for at least six months. This based on scientific evidence of breast milk being the healthiest food for babies to grow and develop. Now, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, recent data challenges the extent of these benefits, the suggestion being that there are other, perhaps better ways to feed baby
without breast milk. And this is where the health outrage begins. When you have a group like the American Academy of Pediatrics, bought and paid for by Big pharma, paying for this data, attempting to convince the public that artificial means for breastfeeding newborns is universally superior to natural breastfeeding. Now, there are some others who cannot breastfeed. I understand that, and you make provisions for that. But to state or to vocalize that they don't believe that natural breastfeeding
is superior to artificial breastfeeding is outrageous on its face. The American Academy of Pediatrics insists that promoting breastfeeding is stigmatized their words, it's members claiming that they are concerned about breastfeeding promotion that praises breastfeeding, as in their quotes natural way to feed infants. They hate the word natural anything because that gives the power to the people to take away from that dependence upon pediatricians. Now, pediatricians
do a great job. They save lives of children, and they certainly aid a lot of young parents when these children are in trouble. They have health concerns. But this is just going way too far and way beyond the pale to try to dissuade young mothers from exclusively breastfeeding. The American Academy of Pediatrics fears that promoting breastfeeding as natural may be ethically problematic and even more troubling,
it may bolster this belief that natural approaches are presumptively healthier. Now, this may ultimately challenge public Health Health's aim in other contexts, particularly childhood vaccines. And that's where they are fearing it, folks. They just don't want people to become self sufficient. They do not want young parents to be so educated to learn that breast milk is God's milk to human beings that they believe in their minds, or they love to believe or teach people that God made a
mistake by not putting similac in a breast of a mother. And there it is, the American Academy of Pediatrics fearing losing their grip on controlling how parents choose to feed their babies, and whether they choose to authorize eighty four different shots or vaccines by the time the offspring turns eighteen years of age. Eighty four different vaccines. Folks, When I was growing up, there may have been like three or four vaccines that were recommended. I think it was tetanus
and polio or something. Now we have eighty four, and you think to yourself, well, more's better, right, more vaccines better protection. Well, guess what. We don't have the statistics to show that more vaccines mean
healthier children. In fact, just the opposite is true. The more vaccines, the sicker kids are, the more asthma, the more allergies, the more skin problems, you name it, And it doesn't if you look at the mortality and morbidity records and compare the United States to other countries, we suck really mad there. Even though we're a superpower, we have all the money and finances we need to make a superior health care system, we don't
have it. The amount of vaccines given to children has quadrupled plus in a few decades. In childhood's sickness and death has worsened. Go figure, once a critical mass of the population figures out that breast milk and other living foods are the real preventions and cures for life's ailments. Big Pharma will lose its cash cow, and we can't have that if Wall Street expects to keep reaching all time highs. Right, and when a mother breastfeeds her child, she
passes on what is called her adaptive immune system to her babies. This is what you might call nature's pharmacy, and for all the intense and purposes it is free, as opposed to the medicine dispense by the pharmaceutical and vaccine industries, which, with the blessing of the Food and Drug administration centers such disease and control and quasi prevention, all of the antibodies that the mother has accumulated through her life by getting ill herself on earth is a gift to her baby
through breastfeeding, to the obvious benefit of the child's needy and developing immune system. Breast Feeding enhances the mother's the mother child bond, the first and arguably the most important social bond, serves as the foundation for all others. And each of these effects of breastfeeding enhances the baby's physical and psychological health and fosters a functional society. Conversely, neither enhances pharmaceutical profits or the social control of
the state. And that's where this becomes outrageous. It is that last little bit about childhood vaccinations that cuts to the heart part of the American Academy of Pediatrics where they're really concerned about underneath all of that prenatal moral outrage, and that is mothers getting their children vaccinated because the breast milk is doing all the vaccinating naturally, and they know it, and they don't want that, and that's what they fear, and that's why it qualified as the health outrage of
the week. The health outrage of the week. Now coming up, we're going to have for you the product recall, and that'll be followed by the top ten states where you are more likely to suffer from type two diabetes. Let's see if your state is on that list. Our number eight eight eight five point five three seven two six' two. I'm doctor Bob Martin and

on to do all right, doctor bout march and back with you. Thank you very much for tuning into the program today. It is now time for this week's installment of the Product Recall of the Week, Product Recall the Week. Here we go. You may have heard of this one. Neptune's Fix recalled across the US due to serious health effects. Neptunes Fix products sole Nation being recalled because they contain something called tia nepteine, also known as gas station
heroin. Believe it or not, ladies on them a substance link to addiction and deadly overdoses. All of the brand products, including Neptune's fix Elixer, Neptunes Fixed Extra Strength, and list goes on, and even their tablets are
being recalled because of their use of this substance called tia Nepteine. The company behind the brand, Neptune Resources, said in an announcement posted on the Food and Drug Administration the agency hasn't approved tia nepteine for medical use whatsoever, and the FDA advises a reasonably a reasonable probability of life threatening events, including suicidal, ideation or behavior, for children, adolescents, and young adults twenty five
and younger who are using these products. So if you see any of them, please discard them, or get rid of them, or get your money back. Neptunes Fix products not good being recalled, and they're often right there at the checkout stand or near the cash register at these gas stations and other convenient locations. We move from that product recall over to the top ten states
where you are more likely to suffer from type two diabetes. Health experts at Diabetes Strong analyzed lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, publicity, and alcohol consumption, which are known to raise the risk of type two diabetes in each state, and the researchers then scored each state based on the outcome and calculated an
average figure for a comparison. Findings come as researchers predict diabetes will soar to one point three billion cases globally, more than double the current five and twenty nine billion, and more than ninety six percent will be type two diabetes, which is largely driven by the world's ever expanding wasistline. So here we are the states, and I wonder if you live in one with the highest diabetes
risk. Number ten Missouri, some people call it Missouri. Number nine on the list of top ten states with the highest diabetes risk, Alabama number eight, Arkansas number seven, Oklahoma number six on the list of states showing the highest level of diabetes risk, Tennessee number five, Kentucky four, West Virginia. Louisiana comes in at number three, number two state with the highest diabetes risk in the US Mississippi, and the number one state in the US with
the very highest number one ranking of diabetes risk is Delaware. Delaware hits number one on the post and that's not a good distinction. That's a dubious distinction you don't want to have. Well, The British Medical Journal slams the US medical response to COVID. Finally we're getting around to evaluating how the CDC, the FDA, the NIH and all groups medical AMA all blue through their chances of helping in COVID. The American medical system failed its people during COVID,
a damning report by the British Medical Journal is now stating. The British Medical Journal has launched a series highlighting the actions the US needed to take during the COVID pandemic to prevent the I wall wattering high death rates it saw and compared to its peer nations. In an editorial to launch the series, guest editors, doctors Gavin Yammy and Duke University, North Carolina. Anna Rocks from Drexel University in Pennsylvania, said crucial steps could have been taken to prevent the COVID
pandemic chaos that ensued here in the US. The authors said several mistakes made in the US that led to the fumbling of the country's COVID response included keeping schools closed for prolonged periods of time, thinking that's going to contain it, and they knew full well it wouldn't, but they did it anyway. Lack of clear and consistent information about federal agencies, the closure of some public schools, and unproven scientific advice, including but not limited to keep it being people
six feet apart. Do you remember when you walked into Low's or some other store and you had those little stickers on the floor You can't get within this distance of another person. Total bogus information. It had no science basis whatsoever,
but they did it anyway to make you warm and fuzzy. In early twenty twenty, tens of thousands of schools across the country closed their doors in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus, turning to virtual educating That saw millions of children learning online, which has been a total unmitigated disaster. And not only that, now children are suffering more than they would have had they not done that. The medical profession, you know, according to the
British Medical Journal, the medical system in the US completely blew everything. All Americans are exposed daily to talk chemicals and environmental pollution in the air. We breathe, the water we drink, food, clothes we wear, the places we work, and in our homes. Environmental pollutants are even present in the umbilical cord blood of newborns.

And that's why it really boils down to stress and the way that our brains are perceiving stress oars after we come out of the holiday giving season and then all of a sudden it's back to normal life in the fast lane and stress oars and less of the hormone dopamine and more of the hormone cort is all stressing ourselves out. And why that seems to make it we believe drag out when it really isn't. It's just
