become independently healthy as opposed to dependently sick. An opportunity to resurrect your good health safely and naturally exists right here, right now, and we thank you for tuning into the program, and we want to start off with a major announcement on this radio show. Oh my god. You know, after twenty nine years of nationwide syndicated radio, in this radio show that I have been hosting for twenty nine plus years, I thought to myself, you know, when is it gonna happen?

When is it going to be the day that this thing gets so big, so large ass that I need help? Well that day has come, and I'm here to announce that we have a special guest slash co host joining us right now. His name is doctor Adam Brockman, and doctor Adam Brockman let me give you a little bit of his background, and believe me, this is the cropped down version of it. He has got a CV that

is absolutely amazing. It suck up a lot of showtime here, but we'll give you the nuts and bolts of his background, and over the next months and hopefully years, you'll learn learn more about this individual and why he was selected to from this point forward co host this radio show. Doctor Brockman's undergraduate education started about twenty five plus years ago and included earning a Bachelor of Science degree from

the University of Louisville. Doctor Brockman went on to earn two doctorates count two, one as a chiropractic physician and the second doctorate as a nature pathic physician. Doctor Brockman's training and clinical nutrition is extensive. He has personally cared for thousands and thousands of patients over his seventeen year career as a practicing physician, including treating professional athletes in the NBA, the m LB, and the NFL all of those.

So with that, let me welcome doctor Adam Brockman to the program today. Good day to you, Doctor Brockman.

the show. Listeners are telling their family members, their friends, or coworkers or neighbors, and as a result of that, the message is getting out. And in this day and age when our health in the United States is in complete turmoil and circling the drain, as we say, the

health of our nation, we need help. We need we need young people to step up and help educate people as to how to stay healthy in the first place and not wait to break down, not fix it when it's broken, sort of an attitude which is what the American sick care system has revolved into. I mean, no doubt there is emergency medicine nine to one to one ambulances and all the fine things that dedicated doctors do

to save lives is absolutely amazing. But I think we need to focus on and I know that you agree with this, we need to focus on keeping people well and not getting into the crisis that they get into trying to hail Mary, you know, bring Santa claus On at the end. If we're bad boys and girls to our bodies. Would you agree with that, Doctor.

relevant and can be life saving. But it can also take your life too. It's risky to go into a hospital. We know that you can get saved, have your life saved there, but you can also die there of a condition you didn't have when you went through the door. So I think the more educated people become, the more self reliant they become. And that's what this show is dedicated to. As you well know, being your own best doctor most of the time, and in order to get

to that, you need to educate people. You need to tell them how to get to that space and not just expect them to do it on their own. And that's I hope a part of what we do here on this show and others like it, so that the public can benefit their most precious possession, that of course, that being their health. All right, enough set about that.

The topic we're going to discuss today and right out of the gate is the exciting news about the astronauts that recently were returned to the Earth who had been stranded in outer space. Oh my gosh, I don't know about you, ladies and gentlemen, but I aspired, like a lot of others, to be an astronaut when I was growing up. In fact, the Apollo eleven mission that landed on the Moon in nineteen sixty nine. I think it

was like fourteen or fifteen years of age. That really caught my attention, and as it did a lot of people, and I thought, geez, wouldn't it be so cool to go up in outer space and see those things and experience those things. So of course, I from that point fixated on it and had a lot of aspirations in that regard. It never worked out, but I still think

about it. And yet when you see these pictures that were recently released, photographs depicting the you know that just came back from outer space with the physical effects of their bodies. Man, oh man, that got my attention in a big way. And I'm thinking to myself, WHOA. I wonder what astronauts are paid. I don't know if anybody could pay me enough to take that kind of risk today, knowing what the risks are both to I mean, you could die easily and your physical health going forward being

in outer space. And doctor Brockman, I looked this up here. It is the average salary for an astronaut, and I'm talking about seasoned astronaut is between one hundred and four thousand dollars and one hundred and sixty one thousand dollars per year to go up in space and take that kind of risk and do that kind of ravage to your body, which we're going to be talking about here shortly.

And then I looked up the average salary for a National Basketball Association a player, an NBA player in the in the NBA basketball player twelve million dollars per year average salary. I'm saying myself, what's wrong with this picture? Oh my gosh. Okay, Well, so we we have a

break to take here, Doctor Brockmann. When we come back, I want to get into this idea of aeronautic medicine and aeronautic healthcare and what astronauts go through and why is it that you know they end up with the type of maladies and infirmities, and when you consider that we're looking at trips to Mars in the not too distant future. According to Elon Musk and others, it's an important topic to discuss because I know a lot of people want to go to outer space. So we'll have

some of that information when we come back. So stick around. You're tuned into the doctor Bob Martin Show. I must stay conscious.

I want you. I want to get into some of the issues and concerns that astronauts face when they go into out of space, because I know a lot of people are thinking, well, gosh, if I save up enough money, because I've heard that you can get a ride to

the space station for about a million dollars. I know that Putin sold one from Russia, and I think in the future, this is what's going to happen, and some of the people listening right now, their children or their grandchildren may actually travel into space on a journey to distances that we don't know about right now, planets, maybe Mars. So I thought, let's talk about the risks and the effects of outer space on our astronauts. Let's do that,

and I want to zero in on micro gravity. What happens. You know this Sanita Williams and Butch Wilmore, the ones who were stranded on the space station for hundreds of days and finally got back home thanks to Elon Musk and the Trump administration. We're so glad that they are safe and back home. But when when I saw a picture, doctor Brockman, of Cinita Williams side by side when she began her journey to the space station, and then when they took the picture of her stepping out of the

space capsule when she returned to Earth. Seriously, it looked like she had aged about maybe fifty years. I mean, it was scary to me. Did you get the same impression, Brockman.

about aeronautical medicine. Many of us, like you said yourself myself, during our childhood, have aspired to venture into space or pursue a career as astronauts, and we were all well aware of the inherent risk associated with space travel, such as being propelled through the atmosphere and then dropping back through the atmosphere, splashing down an Atlantic Ocean, you know,

to be rescued by the NASA crew. However, it was not until these recent release of these photographs of the astronauts that were stranded that we fully grasp the physical risk that space travel posts our bodies and health. What you said, with the originally intended as basically about an eight to ten day mission extended over two hundred and eighty days, and so one can only imagine the psychological toll this must have had on these astronauts.

in her arm to get her fluids rehydrate her. Because that's I think that's an automatic when you're in space, that that's going to happen. But there are all kinds of other issues, you know, especially related to the muscular little skeletal system that happen two astronauts, and I want to discuss that a little bit. The effects of microgravity. We hear that, you know, when you're in space, you actually get taller. I don't know. I thought it was like an inch taller, maybe an inch and a half taller.

And then when you yeah and maybe yeah, maybe even greater, and then when you come back, everything compresses back down

and then suddenly you're feeling like not so good. And it's my understanding, Doctor Brockman, that many of the astronauts, I don't know what percentage it is, maybe you know this, suffer from spinal paint, like lower back pain and disk problems and they have pain radiating down, you know, into their arms and their legs, which is extremely painful due to the disruption of their spinal biomechanics, you know, compared to when you have no gravity and you have full

gravity once you re enter the Earth. So I want people to know my personal opinion of that is that one, why is it that only a percentage of astronauts developed these problems? And what can we learn from that to provide for them going forward so that they don't come back with those kinds of structural problems which seem to be probably the easier things to correct. What is your opinion of that, doctor problem.

but they do not look at the structure. And I think that's something that maybe need to be researched further or looked at.

Why is it that a certain percentage of them are not impacted with back pain, with nerve pain, with disc herniations and other problems when a certain percentage are And my training tells me that those astronauts that are having problems. We're in a distress before they got into the capsule to take off, and they weren't afforded or were not provided spinal care by a competent, qualified, licensed chiropractic physician

before they climbed into the space capsule. So they went in to the program not being carried for fully and came back a lot worse, which means that their condition was simply exacerbated. It wasn't probably created in space, but rather brought to a head in space because of the stretching and the elongation that micro gravity has on a spine. And of course it's always going to impact the area that is the weakest. You're only as strong as your

weakest link. And if you've got back problems prior to doing a space trip, you're going to have back problems when you come back, and they're going to be escalating. And that's why I think the NASA program needs to include a proper evaluation by a chiropractic physician on all astronauts. They deserve it, they need it, and we should provide it. All Right, we're gonna come right back. Stay with us, ladies and gentlemen. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

they will eventually. I've been talking about it for several weeks now. The initials of this particular special nutrient is pea. Pea is short for this nutrient found in very minute quantities in certain foods. There's some in egg yolks, for example, and other foods, but you would need to eat lots and lots of eggs, maybe thirty or more eggs to get a therapeutic dosage of this ingredient, this special ingredient

called PEA well. Scientific research now shows that PA can address all kinds of health related problems, muscle pain and recovery, arthritis symptoms, improve mobility, cognitive health sounds like the astronauts need to get on this before they get into the space capsule, and a multitude of other health concerns PEA can handle as a nutritional supplement, including allergies, respiratory symptoms, even fibromyalgia, very chronic painful condition that people suffer chronically with.

And because of pea's anti inflammatory action, researchers have investigated its ability to relieve pain in a variety of conditions including sciatica, neuropathy, temporal mandibular joint, jaw joint problems. Plus in scientific research on the most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis, PEA the nutritional supplement lowered levels of inflammatory markers slowed the damage of cartilage, which is just the opposite of what enceds do. They actually accelerate the damage of cartilage

when you take them as painkillers. PEA also reduced nies swung, so if you are looking to improve your overall health. Consider supplementing with PEA, the nutritional supplement from Terry Naturally Vitamins for both acute and chronic pain, better physical recovery from injuries, and prove mood and focus, as well as a more robust immune system. Take Pea by Terry Naturally Vitamins. You can find Pea at health food stores nationwide, or you can go to the website Terry Naturally Vitamins dot

com Terry Naturally Vitamins dot com to find PEA. You tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Joe. I'm here with my co host, doctor Adam Brockman, and we're talking about aeronautic medicine, what happens to astronauts their health. And obviously astronauts have to be in tip top shape based on a medical evaluation. Their eyesight has to be even better than twenty twenty. Like all pilots, they have to have

physical strength. They have to be able to You've seen these demonstrate on television where they where they whirl them around over and over. They have to be able to recover from that. They can't get dizzy in their head and lose their ability to function inside space. So we're talking about that with doctor Adam Brockman and some of the challenges that we have because I dare say that some people aspire to go into space that are listening to the son of my voice right now, and you

may have children or grandchildren who do just that. Maybe they are going to embark upon a mission to Mars, somebody in your family. It may happen. And knowing a little bit more about outer space and the impact of microgravity in the human body, I think is good for everybody to know, to better understand it, to appreciate what astronauts who get paid a buck and a half a year compared to eleven million dollars with the average NBA player.

To me, there's something wrong with this picture. Do you agree with that, Doctor Brockman.

not know. That's why I wanted to discuss this topic. It's fascinating to you, doctor Brockman, and myself, and I think a lot of other audience members are also interested in learning more about it. Let me ask you this question, how do give us an overview of how astronauts maintain their physical health while they're in space. They're in this tiny,

little micronized capsule which seems so small. When I looked at that capsule that landed in the Atlantic the other day, and I was thinking to myself, Okay, well that was the capsule that came back in. They were on the space station and they're you know, they're floating through that and you see the hair flowing up and so forth. But how to astronauts astronauts maintain their physical health while in space.

structure of the body. I think you mentioned spinal elongation, which is the process that results in a temporary increase in this height, and I think it's one two inches or more. However, this elongation at least a back discomfort because if you can imagine those muscles and tendons and ligaments are stretching beyond its usual limpit limits.

It's no different than if somebody has a pre existing know you fill in the blank, heart problem, lung problem. Obviously you're going to take care of that before you put somebody under that kind of stress and rigor. Why wouldn't you do that? Knowing that space travel causes such an amazing and exhilarating in some cases because who doesn't want to be two inches taller? But it may exacerbate

in existing condition. And that's why I think the men and women, the brave men and women who go intout of space need regular spinal care delivered by the doctor of choice, which happens to be the chiropractic physician. We'll talk more about this when we come back. Stay tuned. I'm talking about Martin. So I'm.

to you. I mean, how many doctors do you know that work for free ninety nine? Well, doctor Brockman and I do that now each and every week, and we invite you, in fact, we encourage you. If you have a health related problem, a quagmire, dilemma, some type of a challenge and issue, we're here for you and we'll do our best to help you out. Here's that total free number, the hotline phone number for you to call, and you can call it any time of the night

You state your first name, the city and state you're living, and then your question and or your comment, and that's it. It's that simple, and then you will hear your health question on a future show like we're going to do a little bit

later in the program. Now, that total free number is eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two. If you want to comment regarding something you've heard already in this hour regarding NASA sending astronauts into space, or aeronautic medicine, or what people go through when they go into outer space, you can comment on that, or if you have a

question about your health. It's all there for you to access one eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two the website where all things related to health news live, as well as the podcast library where you can hear past shows or if you miss the show, you can get in there, and of course the social media platforms of Instagram, LinkedIn x. It's all there over at doctor Bob dot com spelling out the word doctor docto r

bob dot com. All right, let's get back to the conversation about astronauts, their health, what outer space does, the rigors of outer space with our special co host from this point forward, doctor Adam Brockman is joining us. Doctor Brockman, you know we talked about some of the physical issues. What about the psychological effects of space. I mean think I was thinking about those astronauts being up there, being stranded for over two hundred days. They were supposed to

be there what eight or ten days? They're there for hundreds of days. I mean just being in space being I mean a lot of us seek quietness when there's a lot of chatter, but not that much, not that long. I think it would drive me crazy if I was away from my family and a lot of the things that I do today. So what role does the psychological support play in an astronaut's health?

may have not been entirely caused by physical issues. Doctor Lieberman went on to say, these astronauts have been in space for nine months, when only they were supposed to be there for ten days. And she goes on to say, quote for most of this time, they couldn't be sure if they were ever going to be rescued, which is

tremendously stressful. Goes on to say more. Here, Sunita Williams put on a brave face and told everyone she was happy to have that extra time in space, but the prospect of facing a slow death in a space capsule is the thing that nightmares are made of, and it took a toll on her psyche.

that is lacking is this is the supplementation. How the food is up there is similar to if we were going on a camping trip. So it's freeze dried, you have to rehydrate it, and it's lacking nutrients. We got to do some more supplementation with these astronauts so they aren't coming back looking so ill.

Hopefully that will happen soon. All right, we're gonna come right back with you. Stay here. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

salary standpoint, a lot more than they currently are. And we also need to provide for them cutting edge healthcare, which they're not real from everything I've been able to learn, and I know people who work at NASA in Houston. In fact, I have treated a number of NASA employees that work in Houston, Texas, and I know what these astronauts. You know, I got a lot of information that I otherwise would not have received from people who are on

the inside of NASA. And I have to tell you that they're not getting cutting edge nutrition as taught to doctor Adam Brockman and myself. They're getting minimal there, and they're not getting the type of care that their body frames need before they even go into space. You know, it's okay, your heart sounds good, you got good lungs, you can see get in there. You know, I'm sure there's more than that, and they have to be in tip top shape. But they're not receiving a well rounded,

holistic version of healthcare. They're simply being screened for sick care issues. All right, doctor Brock, will we just have a couple minutes left in this hour. I'm gonna let you have it to impart any information you'd like to finish with in this segment.

valuable insights into this aging process. It is you can assume that NASA will intensify its research for the aeronautical medicine, thereby offering a greater understanding for the overall aging process that is experienced on Earth. Considering the exposure to things like free rat in the DNA alterations that are endured by astronauts in space. This is a normal part of the aging process that all of us are going to

experience here. And I think that that's probably one of the more fascinating aspects of what can be done with NASA research on the human body, especially as some of us think about traveling to space ourselves.
