M H your designated driver on the Highway to health, Doctor Bob Martin. He's on the Better Health networking friend Robin Robber. Anything you eat, anything you drink, anything you think or do, can and will be used against you by your body and your mind. Now you have the right to counsel during this process, and if you feel you cannot find or afford a caring
health professional, one has been provided for you and it's me. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to this hour of the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Your body didn't come with an owner's manual, so I provide this program to
help you to become your own best doctor. Most of the time. We have got so much information today to share with you, and I'm going to encourage you to stick around for the entirety of the program, to the all three hours to show today, because there is just so much to provide for your health going forward that you won't want to miss any of it because it's
so vitally important to you. You know, conventional medicine does a lot of good things with respect to acute trauma, crisis management nine one, emergency rooms, saving people's lives. There's no question about that whatsoever. But what conventional medicine doesn't do. The list is long, but one thing I can think of that I'd like to discuss with you this hour is helping people to understand the value and the direction of how to maintain proper body weight and how to
lose weight should you gain weight. We just do and all you have to do is look around and see the people that are walking down the street in your life, your co workers, your family members, to know that we just have a failing grade when it comes to the management of weight in the
human body in the United States. It's just bad. And so it's a call to action for you to take charge of this situation yourself, because you're not going to get much help through conventional medical means aside from the extreme radical approach like doing a stomach bypass surgery or some type of radical surgery which can come back to haunt you later on. And it very well may have just taken the life of Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Priscilla and Elvis Presley.
That's what the autopsy results say. Now there may be some other factors associated with that. I'm going to be talking about that today. What killed Lisa Marie Presley back in January, the autopsy results are in and it is pretty shocking. We will get to that, but let me begin with how the medical profession even measures your weight. How they determine if you are overweight, if you have too much fat on your body. They use a measurement called
BMI BMI. In fact, recently I had a yearly general physical exam and sure enough, on that physical exam sheet at the end they had body mass index or BMI, And I thought to myself, are they still using this arcane, outdated, mythical way of measuring weight in a human being? And the answer is yes, they are, And it's embarrassing. It's an embarrassing
thing to know that that's still going on here in the US. With all the knowledge and information we have and technology that we have to be able to accurately measure someone's fat content their body mass in some other manner, and there are plenty of ways to do that. The history of how this came about
is just kind of bizarre. Adwolf q Telet, a Belgian astronomer and mathematician, statistician as sociologist, not a physician, ever studied medicine at all devised the basis of the BMI, the body mass index measure that the medical profession, conventional medical profession is using still to this day. And doctor this out off. Q Telet did this back in the eighteen hundreds, between eighteen thirty
and eighteen fifty, as he developed what is called social physics. Now he was the first to define a metric relating to weight, relating your weight to your height squared. That's the formula which later formed the basis of what is now referred to still to this day two hundred years later, BMI body mass index. How fat is basically determined how with the level of fat in the
human body. And to do so, this individual only looked at white, French and Belgium men, a very narrow representation ladies and gentlemen of humanity. He never intended the rat show to be linked to health in any matter whatsoever. He didn't. It had nothing to do with health. So please allow me to repeat that. I know it's hard to gather this in, but the next time you have an exam, look at the sheet and see if you see on there BMI body mass index, and then they'll provide a number
which is the rat show of your weight to your height squared. And that's what you're going to be based on in terms of the amount of fat you have in your body, which is an inaccurate reading that comes from over two hundred years ago. There was never designed to be presented for health reasons. There's a mathematical equation, and that's you know, that's that's the basis of today's use of the BMI, and most medical institutions today are determining your health
status based on this individual's mathematical equation. And in June of nineteen ninety eight, the National Health Institute approved the current BMI standard, thus raising public awareness of the BMI body mass index system. Body mass index became the Internet standard for measuring obesity in the nineteen eighties. So here we are, you know, twenty five years later or so BMI has been the gold standard. It's
just more than twenty five years. Much more than twenty five years. This has been going on forty three What it is if I don't forty some years that they've used this as a biomarker for determining if a person has a healthy or unhealthy level of fat in their body, and or if you are obese or not, and so many people are miss misdiagnosed as a result of it. That's why it should be abolished, but it's not. You still have it at Kaiser Permanente, you have the National Institutes of Health, you have
the CDC. They all use this fictitious, mythical measurement to determine if a person is overweight or not, or they're obese or not, or if what level of fat they have in their body. And there's better ways to do it. We have that in existence today, but I cannot understand why they use this BMI reading body mass index. It is arbitrary, it's an outdated
metric. But still going on. I'm going to delve into this further so you understand it so that when you see it, you can reject it and know that there are better ways to go about measuring the human body, especially as it relates to fat content and as whether it relates to you being overweight or obese. I will get to that after this. Stay with us. You're listening to the doctor Bob Martin show. Our bodies depend on a potent

to this hour of the Doctor Bob Martin's Show. Thank you so very much for tuning into the program today, and our veteran listeners of the show, thank you so much for spreading the good word about this program so other people in your life can have an opportunity to tune into the show. Next hour, we're going to have a special guest on the program. You want one to miss that hour because we're gonna be talking about and this is a true
story the average person. You know it would be you. The average person in the US inhales. You're ready for this, inhales the equivalent of a credit cards worth of plastic every week, every single week, we suck down the equivalent in microplastics the size of a credit card in our bodies that according to a new study, we're gonna be joined by a special guest to talk about this. Now. You might say, well, plastics, no big
deal. Yeah, it is a big deal. Plastics are petrochemicals, and they contain mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, toxic metals, and those toxic metals can cause all kinds of problems, anything from infertility to the big sea and I do mean cancer and a whole bot of a lot of other problems that you may not have known about that could be creating health concerns that you have right now and nobody can figure it out. Your body's
talking back to you and you're still sick. Maybe this is part of it. We're gonna be talking about that and how to get these toxins out to the body. Based on this new revelation about how the average person in the United States inhaling the equivalent of a credit cards worth of plastics every single week, brand new breaking study lead into the content of that on the show,
so don't miss out on it if you're just tuning into the program. I'm talking about something that is kind of an anequated, arbitrary, outdated metric that's used by conventional medicine when you have a physical examination, which I did recently, and sure enough that physical exam was all wrong because they used a test a measure of It is really a formula that was developed by an astronomer over
two hundred years ago. It really was never designed to be equated with health in any manner whatsoever, because the astronomer was not a physician, never studied medicine at all. It was simply a mathematical equation used then usurped and kind of taken in by the medical profession back in the eighties to determine a person's
weight status to determine how much fat they have in their body. That test is called body mass index short BMI BMI and when you have a physical examine in the United States, conventional mainstream medicine is still using this embarrassing, arbitrary,
an outdated metric. They are the CDC still is behind it, the National Institute of Health, all these big medical organizations, Kaiser, Permanente, all good, but it's just something that needs to be rethought, and we can easily find better ways to measure the fitness of the body, particularly the level of fat the body has in it, besides trying to use this formulation where a person's weight in pounds is divided by the square of feet and height,
that they have to diagnose whether that person is in a proper optimal weight status or they have their overweight or or obese. That those tests exist today, and I'll be talking about it here shortly, so listen up so you know what to look for. There's a problem with this BMI, this body mass index, but there's also a solution for it. We need to get rid of it now. Granted, everybody, i think recognizes that being overweight
is not only distressful for the person cosmetic in their mind. Perhaps some people don't mind it, others do, but it puts a person at a great risk of all these different diseases. There's no debate about that. When you're overweight, you are increasing your risk greatly of things like cardiovascular disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, a bunch of cancers are associated with being overweighted. We haven't even talked about the great deal of destruction that being
overweight creates to your joints because you're carrying too much poundage around. Well, a new study has determined that a better way to go about it, which is, I guess okay, it's certainly better than the body mass index, which is completely an embarrassment and arbitrary and outdated and never should have happened in
the first place. They've been able to find that if you ma measure the ratio between your waste and your hip, that might be a more accurate way of what the body's healthy weight should be, as opposed to if you're measuring the this BMI, this body mass index, which is bogus to begin with. So if you're concerned about that, that might be a way to go about it. But there's even a better way to measure a more accurate reading of body weight and how much fat your body actually has and how much lean
tissue your body as it's called bioimpedence. That's how you get a optimal percentage of body fat is through a test called bioimpedence. I've done this on hundreds and hundreds of people, but it's nothing new. I was doing this back in the what the late nineties, all the way through two thousand and eight, hundreds of people. We used to go out in the community and screen people with bio impedence. These bioelectrical impedance devices there. It's kind of like
setting a small ekg up on somebody. Put these little pads, you turn this machine on. It gives you a reading, and it tells you body composition, particularly body fat and muscle mass, and it gives some other readings in and intercellular readings. I mean, there's all kinds of information to derive from this little weak electric current that just goes flowing through the body instantaneously.
Very safe, very effective to calculate how much impedance is in its way, which is fat and water and muscle, to determine how healthy you are. Why that's not used today? It boggles my mind, but I think it's uh, you know, one of these these are cane old BMI body mass index measure that's used in conventional medicine. Why they use it, I'm still scratch in my head. It's so inaccurate and should have never even come to
healthcare anyway. It was never designed for that. So you know that the standard test, and this is part of the problem when people get it. There these false positives and false negatives that they're getting from the reading of the BMI instead of doing bioimpedence is really as I said, it's embarrassing. So don't buy that. Find somebody who can do bioimpedence testing if that's what you want to find out about to get the true reading of it. I know
insurance companies use BMI and it's it's so bad. There are a lot of reasons why not to use this BMI test. And this last week and I thought it was gone, and I guess I'm naive on that level. I thought it was gone until has showed up in an exam that I had had a medical facility just a yearly thing. And I'm looking down what BMI body mass index is still being used. I know the history of it, and that's why when people entered my office, we did the bioimpedence testing because we
knew that the BMI, the body mass index testing was completely bogus. And I'm going to tell you. And this is a little bit strange because normally we have top ten lists in the third hour of the show, but today in our number one we've got a top ten reasons why this BMI body mass index reading is bogus. We'll have that for you after this break. Stay with us. We're talking about weight, your weight. I'm doctor Bob Martin.

Are you waiting on a light next street. Are you waiting for the night? How the time is night? I learned to deal with deal. Don't you want to take the wheel? A stand to be now the main what are you waiting for? And I welcome
you back to this hour the Doctor Bob Martin's show. We'll get back to the discussion of weight and how to measure, how to actually develop an idea of what your weight should be, how much fat you should have in your body, And it will also get to the end of that conversation some of
the ways that you can achieve that. Plus we'll have it shortly here the top ten reasons why the measurements used in conventional medicine today to determine if a person is overweight or obese or how much fat they have in their body the
BMI test, the body mass index test. I'm going to have the top ten reasons why the BMI test is so bogus and you should reject it when someone tries to determine if your weight is optimal or otherwise, because that can mess you up on insurance reports and give you false negative and false positive information. So it's important to know that. We'll get to that in a minute,
but first this. You know, consumers want natural products that work better, and once again Spry delivers Spry. You hear me talking about Spry Spry Spry the toothpaste, the mouth rents, the gum, the mints that my family uses for proper optimal dental hygiene. Their new Sprite Peppermint and Spearmint toothpaste now features Enamel Max. Sprite Enamel Max with xylotol and STMP and with larginine has been found to make the enamel on your teeth thirty three percent stronger than
fluoride alone. Sprite delivers on the go dental hygiene solutions that support a healthy oral microbiome. The Sprite Dental Defense system creates an easy and convenient way to have xylotol throughout the day without needing to change your habits. Zylotol has been shown to reduce the ability of bacteria to adhere to the teeth and gums. And when the bacteria has its way in your mouth adhering to your teeth and gums, that's what creates dental cavities, dental caries, gingivitis, and eventually
into periodontal disease. And zolot hall is a preferred sweetener that tricks the germs that are generated in your mouth when you're eating any form of carbohydrate. And those germs, those bacteria Streptococcus, mud ends, mute, and streptococcuts, they all generate excrement, which is the bacteria that ultimately ends up destroying your oral cavity. And when they come in contact with zolotall, they leave, they die. It is a delicious sweetener that should be in your toothpaste and
mouthwash, but if you're using conventional toothpaste and mouthwash, it's not. That's why I use, and my family uses, and so many of my healthcare colleagues have switched over to spry sp r y spry. If your toothpaste and mouthwashed currently, or your gum and mins is not rich in zyolotol, then you need to switch it up. Zilatol is so important to our health, and zilots All is spelled with an x x y l I t o L
spry. That's what you're looking for. Spry toothpaste, mouthwash, mounththrints, gum mints, and you will have a better time with oral health and your hygienis your dental hygienis. Your dentist is going to notice it like minded, what are you doing and how are you doing it? Because things look a whole lot better in your oral company. This is now going on over twenty years ago, folks. So I've been the recipient of the benefits of the Spry dental defense system and you can too. You can too, and you
should. So whatever you're using, switch it over Spry. Spry found at finer grocery stores, health food stores, and even drug stores like CBS, Rite Aid. You can find it target vitamin shops, routes, natural grocery stores if you can, or you want to go to their website learn more about the Sprid dental defense system. The makers of the Clear nasal spray family Clear Max Nasal Spray Clear they bought it all over there, Clear dot com, x L E A R dot com. It's where I go and you
should too. All right, now, we are going to do something a little difference in this first hour because we're on the topic of weight and how it's been measured, still measured today and is the standard, the gold standard in conventional medicine of determining if a person is overweight or obese or has too much fat in their body. It's called a BMI test body mass index test.
It was never designed to be utilized in healthcare. It was originally thought up up by a astronomer over two hundred years ago, and then it was starting they started to incorporate into medicine. I don't know what it was, you know, decades ago, but it's still going on. And we have theref a top tens reasons why the BMI test is bogus. Here we go the top ten. We'll start with number ten. Based on the information I
have provided for you. It's embarrassing to our country to be using the BMI measurement for people as it relates to whether they are in proper weight or obese.
It's embarrassing for one of them supposed most scientifically, technologically and medically advanced nations in the world, to base advice on how to prevent one from leading into the causes of many diseases, poor health, and premature death like obesity on a two hundred year old numerical hack developed by a mathematician astronomer who is not even an expert in healthcare at all, let alone the human body. That's number ten. Number nine on the list of top ten reasons why the
BMI test is bogus. Continued reliance on BMI or Body mess Index test means doctors don't feel the need to use one that's more scientifically sound terms of methodology to measure obesity levels or people being over the weight. Number eight on the list. It makes more cynical members of society suspect that the medical insurance industry lobbies for the continued use of the BMI to keep their profits high. Number seven on the list of top ten reasons why the BMI test measured is being
measured. It suggests that there are distinct categories of underweight, ideal overweight, and obese with sharp boundaries that hinge on a single decimal place, which is what this test is. Because the so called normal and you can look this up for yourself on this BMI test is somewhere like between. I don't even
know what it is. I almost thought to state it, because yeah, eighteen point five and twenty four point nine males and females, if you fall in there, you are just fine, and you can be morbidly obese. Now, this list is a little bit longer than typical so I'll finish up on the top ten reasons why the BMI test that's still being used to determine if somebody's obese or overweight or has too much fat. I'll finish it up
after we come out of this break. So stay with us. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show. The 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 CANC is changing lives

And I've neglected to mention that we have a health poll question going on on my website that I would love to get your opinion of. And it goes like this, The FDA proves the first over the counter birth control pill. It's happening, folks, food and docormentistration just gave it the big stamp. Finally over the counter birth control pills now available. So here's the question, are you in favor of over the counter birth control pill? Yes or
no? Where can you vote? You say? How about my website doctor bob dot com. Spell out the word doctor d octo r bob dot com And there you also be able to find out how to follow me on Twitter and Instagram. All that's there and lots and lots of news. Plus that's

Please vote on that. On that health poll question, are you in favor of over the counter birth control
pills? Yes or no? All? Right, back to the and to finish off the top ten reasons why the VMI test or the BODYMA index test is bogus. Here we go, we'll finish it up. We've got through ten, nine, eight, seven. We move on to number six the top ten reasons for the BMI test being bogus. Number six, it is lying by scientific authority to think that that test has any accuracy whatsoever. Number five on the test, it's just bad statistics. Number four, it gets
the logic completely wrong. Number three it is physiologically wrong. Number two in the list of top ten reasons why they test that standard in medical care medical circles today, when you go into a doctor's office and they do a physical examine and they measure your height and you're weight, and then they square your height against your weight and all that they come up with a BMI body mass
index reading totally totally wrong. It is scientifically nonsensical. And the number one reason or that for the BMI being bogus is the person who dreamed up the BMI said explicitly that it could not and should not be used to indicate the level of fitness or fatness in an individual. All right, so there you have it. We're down with that, and I'm glad we did did do that. Now you might say, okay, so, doctor Bob, I still have weight problems after all of that, what do we do? Well,
Welcome to modern conventional medicine twenty twenty three. You do have a choice, Thank goodness. You don't need to have a doctor giving you health advice based on a two hundred year old, unscientific myth called body mass index BMI. You should ask for doctors who use bio impedence testing if you really want to know what your risk is and how much fat you have in your body as opposed to lean mass. I mean, the formula first success of maintaining
weight hasn't really changed much. I mean, weight loss is so misunderstood and weight management you've got to just move around more. That's the idea of burn more calories. Being sedentary will definitely sabotage a successful control of weight and weight loss. Eat less, push back, don't eat until you're full. Eat about halfway through that mechanism. You'll be a whole lot better off. And don't eat or snack. This is key. Do not eat or snack after
six pm. If you're on a normal work schedule, do not do that. And you've got to if you're struggling with your weight, you've got to figure out how to avoid sugar and highly processed, refined foods. You must do that, and specifically avoid the sad diet, the standard American diet, which is why we have so many weight problems in this country. You need to eat at a could have amounce of quality protein, of course, and a fiber plenty of fiber. Chew your food at least twenty times before you
swallow. This is a habit I got into when I learned about how to manage people with weight. Encourage people to chew their food twenty times before they swallow, instead of inhaling it, which many of Americans do as though they're starving and their meal was about two hours ago. And if you're struggling after all of that, definitely learn how to check something called BMR another acronym and
other initials for you to remember, basil metabolic rate. You do it with a regular old underarm thermometer, not a digital thermometer, and there's ways to do that. Look it up on the internet and it tells you exactly what you should be reading and if your readings are off on the BMR. The basil metabolic rate, which is how you measure how your thyroid gland is working. The thyroid gland is your metabolic carb rate or it's what burn helps your
body to burn calories. Your muscles obviously help initiate that, but the thyroid gland is your metabolic gland. That is soul's very important to maintaining weight and temperature and everything else, plus sex hormones. If you're struggling and you've done everything else right and nothing else is working, you should get with a functional or integrative doctor who can measure your thyroid and sex hormones and get them measured
right. And then obviously nutritional supplements. They are key to maintaining good health because it's not always easy to get all the nutrients you need and to supplement the diet. Even a good diet is a wise thing to do. We'll finish up with this conversation on the other side him, Doctor Bob Martin, stay with us. Are you tired of crazy blood sugar and blood pressure numbers? Doctor Bob Martin here, listen to this true story. I was diagnosed
with type one juvenile diabetes when I was seven years old. I grew up taking insulin. I was having some problems with my physical health. I thought, you know what I need to try Noni juice.

Many people don't think about the condition of their storm cellars until it's too late. Uang Lambs started storm check in twenty twenty as a form of therapy for himself.
He said, if I sit down around and feel sorry for myself, I'm not taking advantage of what the US has given my parents. He quickly discovered during that time there were many people, including veterans, that were struggling with the COVID issues. I was in my house by myself. I don't have any family living with me.

Because all right, Dr Bob Martin back with you on our final segment of this hour. Next hour, We're going to be joined by a special guest to talk about a very troubling article that I ran into which prompted me to invite this guest
on the program. Clayton Thomas will be back with us to talk about the dilemma associated with the average American breathing in the equivalent of a full sized credit card in terms of microplastics each and every week, once a week, the average person breathes in and and takes in through their through their mouth, and through their nose, the equivalent to the a monoplastic you find in a credit
card. So take your credit card out during the break and see how just feel it, look at it, and realize that's how much plastics we're getting into the average human being, according to a new breakthrough study each week. Now you might say, well plastics, no big deal. No, it's a big deal. Microplastics contain all kinds of heavy metal poisoning, lead, cadmium, aluminum, mercury. That's the problem. And we'll have that conversation next hour, So don't go anywhere now. One last thing I want to
just drop in here. Up to a third of people related to this BMI conversation we've been having this hour, About a third of the people that are determined to have a slim body mass index BMI. According to this bogus mythical measurement that conventional medicine is still using and shouldn't these same people a third of them might actually be overweight or obese. That's what researchers are now claiming,
because this test is so weird ISRAEMII. Researchers who examined over three thousand people found around a quarter of men and nearly four in ten women who had a healthy body mass index had so much body fat that they should be classified as obese. And as a result, millions of millions who believe their body size is not to cause for concern for their health, maybe at risk of weight related conditions such as type two diabetes, heart disease, risk of stroke.
The list goes on, and they urged conventional medicine to scrap this widely used BMI score that they're using. I had done this week. It was part of an exam. I mean on the end their weight and height to determine this body mass index, which is nonsense. Score is just you need to get rid of it. You shouldn't be able to determine anything from it. Other than a person's weight in their height, and it has nothing to do
with their body mass index other than giving them false negative findings. Instead, people should use devices to measure body fat percentage found in gems and stores. You can buy these little weights bioimpedence testing or doctors who are aware of bioimpedence testing BI testing versus b M I testing. So that's what you should think about. Oh boy, do we have a lot to talk about. Next hour, going to get into ozembic, another potential adverse side effect of this drug suicide. We'll be right back
