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.

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.

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

goes like this, The FDA proves the first over the counter birth control pill.

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,

keeping our veterans safe, especially in Oklahoma, is always a priority. 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. It was just rough. You know,
the walls start closing in on you, said the veteran Claude Mills. The
two soon connected and are now helping other veterans by taking care of their storm
shelters. All Americans are bos daily to toxic chemicals and environmental pollution in the

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
