Speaker 2: for the entirety. In fact, a little bit later, I'm
Speaker 2: going to talk about the seven well being tips to
Speaker 2: help your twenty twenty five year be much healthier. But
Speaker 2: before we get to that, I wanted to give you
Speaker 2: the results of last week's health pole question. If you
Speaker 2: were with us, you know that I was talking about
Speaker 2: the fact that there are states and hospitals and doctors
Speaker 2: who are pushing back wanting to bring back the face masks.
Speaker 2: The rules about wearing face masks. In fact, multiple states
Speaker 2: are trying to bring back face mask rules as doctors
Speaker 2: warn of a quademic of viruses this winter. Hospitals in
Speaker 2: multiple Blue states and brought back masking amid surges in
Speaker 2: winter viruses this week. In fact, actually it's a couple
Speaker 2: weeks now. New Jersey's largest hospital system, RWJ Barnabas Health
Speaker 2: reinstated this mask requirement for all staff members, patients, and visitors,
Speaker 2: even though the state's COVID infection rate is low. The system,
Speaker 2: which treats three million patients per year. That staff will
Speaker 2: provide new masks for everyone who walks in the door
Speaker 2: and may ask you to replace your own mask with
Speaker 2: a hospital supplied mask. As part of the mandate that
Speaker 2: they are trying to put in place in New Jersey,
Speaker 2: visitors will also be required to sanitize their hands before
Speaker 2: entering the hospital buildings, so you have that one and
Speaker 2: you have another one. Several counties in San Francisco Bay
Speaker 2: Area have also brought back mask rules with an order
Speaker 2: to effect this year's mask usage. Meanwhile, hospitals in New
Speaker 2: York have also urged patients, staffs, and visitors to mask
Speaker 2: up while indoors and get vaccinated against COVID and the
Speaker 2: flu as rates really plummeted. Oh boy. And last month,
Speaker 2: in fact, in New York City, health officials recommended masking
Speaker 2: up on public transport as winter temperature set in. The
Speaker 2: return of masking comes amid a ser of four winter viruses,
Speaker 2: including COVID and the flu, which experts believe could be
Speaker 2: a sign of an impending quademic. That's why they're panicking.
Speaker 2: But in the Blue States. Now, we saw this and
Speaker 2: we discussed it on the show and then posted up
Speaker 2: the question on my website at doctor Bob dot com
Speaker 2: spelling out the word doctor doctor Bob dot com asking
Speaker 2: you to give us your opinion of this. And the
Speaker 2: question was, do you intend to wear a face max
Speaker 2: mask if another pandemic is declared? Yes or no? Wow,
Speaker 2: the results are in or at least partial results because
Speaker 2: the questions still up there at doctor Bob dot com.
Speaker 2: We've got so much activity on that the question is
Speaker 2: still there, but I'll give you a preliminary on this.
Speaker 2: It's amazing. And the choices for the answer were No,
Speaker 2: you do not intend to wear a face mask if
Speaker 2: another pandemic or some other pandemic is announced, or yes
Speaker 2: you do, or absolutely not. Those are the three choices,
Speaker 2: and here are the results of the poll that we took.
Speaker 2: Thank you for going to my website and weighing in
Speaker 2: on this at doctor Bob dot com. Of those people
Speaker 2: who voted, seventy six percent said absolutely not, you do
Speaker 2: not intend to wear a face mask otherwise known as
Speaker 2: a face diaper if another pandemic has declared. Twenty four
Speaker 2: percent of you said no, and zero ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 2: zero people who went to my site and voted on
Speaker 2: this question of do you intend to wear a face
Speaker 2: mask if another pandemic is declared? Zero people said yes.
Speaker 2: It just shows you how I think the public has
Speaker 2: caught on to the bogusness of wearing face masks. And
Speaker 2: you might say, well, wait a minute, Well you got
Speaker 2: to put something between you and the virus. How else
Speaker 2: are you going to stay healthy if that virus comes
Speaker 2: wafting through the air and finds your nasal cavity. Well, look,
Speaker 2: don't believe me when I say masks don't work. Look
Speaker 2: at the Cochrane Report on this topic. Cochran is a
Speaker 2: authoritative group of scientists and doctors who look at all
Speaker 2: the medical literature and then make a decision as to
Speaker 2: whether something has efficacious activity. And the Cochrane collaboration says
Speaker 2: masks do not work, but don't believe them. Why don't
Speaker 2: you perform the smell test to see if your mask
Speaker 2: is working. If you put a mask on and you
Speaker 2: go into an area, let's say a kitchen, or you
Speaker 2: go into an area where there's like perfume or any
Speaker 2: odor in the air whatsoever, and you can smell it
Speaker 2: through your mask, that odor molecule happens to be larger
Speaker 2: than a virus that has been aerosolized. That's in the
Speaker 2: air that somebody sneezed or coughed, and now it's wafting
Speaker 2: through the air and the breeze and the wind and
Speaker 2: the airflow is taking it throughout the building. That odor
Speaker 2: molecule happens to be larger than a virus, and the
Speaker 2: viruses get right through. So it is they just don't work,
Speaker 2: But don't believe any of that. Go read doctor Judy Michaeovitch.
Speaker 2: She's a PhD. Epidemiologist who wrote a book about face masks,
Speaker 2: What to Know about It's really sad when I see
Speaker 2: somebody wearing one. I don't care where it is. Now.
Speaker 2: If you want to wear one on an airplane to
Speaker 2: keep your nose warm because it's free and cold, I
Speaker 2: get that. I would even do that because those airplanes
Speaker 2: are so cold it's like you shiver some of them
Speaker 2: and it's horrible. But wearing one to block viruses just
Speaker 2: doesn't work. All you do is you suffocate for a
Speaker 2: period of time, You breathe in more carbon dioxide, which
Speaker 2: is a something that should be eliminated, not breathed back in.
Speaker 2: And not only that, you're sweating, and it's just suffocation
Speaker 2: for me. I don't know about you, but maybe some
Speaker 2: people like to wear them for some reason I don't know,
Speaker 2: But they don't work. So if you thought that somehow,
Speaker 2: some way mask is going to save you from contracting
Speaker 2: a virus, you are sorely misunderstood in terms of the
Speaker 2: science that is available today. They just don't work. And
Speaker 2: so the absolutely nots. Seventy six percent of the poll
Speaker 2: have it on this one as it relates to you
Speaker 2: intend to wear a face mask if another pandemic is declared,
Speaker 2: You got it right for sure. All right, now, I'm
Speaker 2: going to after this next break launch into seven well
Speaker 2: tips Well being tips to make your twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: a healthier year. This is appropriate right now. I mean
Speaker 2: think about it. You want to be as healthy this
Speaker 2: year as you were last year? Or how about being healthier?

Speaker 2: in a New Year's resolution, and one of the most
Speaker 2: common ones is I'm gonna drop some poundage. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: lose some weight. We're gonna get into that later in
Speaker 2: the show. So if that's one of your New Year's resolutions,
Speaker 2: drop weight, and you want to parlay the latest craze
Speaker 2: fad on weight loss as in the GLP one drugs
Speaker 2: as in osambic or weegav or monj or any of

Speaker 2: may be blinding people. Is it worth dropping twenty five
Speaker 2: pounds to lose your vision? I don't think so, don't
Speaker 2: go anywhere. We're gonna get into that now. Let's launch
Speaker 2: into the seven well being tips to make your twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five a healthier year, and then we're gonna go
Speaker 2: to phone calls also a little bit later, So stick around.
Speaker 2: In today's fast paced and chaotic world, taking care of
Speaker 2: yourself overall, your well being has become more important than ever.
Speaker 2: Many people overlook their needs due to the daily pressures
Speaker 2: at work, pressures associated with family and personal commitments. However,
Speaker 2: investing time and practice to promote a better lifestyle can
Speaker 2: lead to a lasting improvement in your overall health and
Speaker 2: save you money and a lot of suffering. It's not
Speaker 2: just about looking good, folks, It's about feeling good, both
Speaker 2: inside and out. So I'm going to start with the
Speaker 2: seven well being tips to make your twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: a healthier year, starting with prioritizing regular exercise. Staying active
Speaker 2: is essential course to maintaining a vibrant lifestyle, and engaging
Speaker 2: in physical activity helps strengthen the body and improve your
Speaker 2: mood and your energy levels. Regular movement stimulates what we
Speaker 2: call endorphins, you know, getting that second wind production, which
Speaker 2: promotes a sense of well being. There are numerous ways
Speaker 2: to incorporate movement into your daily routine. And even if
Speaker 2: you say, well I can't really exercise right now because
Speaker 2: I got this, that and the other thing, well, look,
Speaker 2: find an exercise that you can do, some type of
Speaker 2: movement outside you're just sitting on the couch and stay
Speaker 2: with it, like walking or biking or hiking. And if
Speaker 2: you've got the joint involvement, how about swimming or using
Speaker 2: an elliptical which takes the pressure off of the joints,
Speaker 2: or even activities like dancing can provide significant benefits to
Speaker 2: your health long term and short term. And then once
Speaker 2: you start and make sure you can do that, you
Speaker 2: add the resistance training or weight training, and if you
Speaker 2: need help with that, get a exercise physiologist or a trainer.
Speaker 2: To run through with you how to properly do that,
Speaker 2: and you don't. We're not doing this to become, you know,
Speaker 2: the Hulk or anything like that to get buff. We're
Speaker 2: just doing it to stay strong because keeping your muscles
Speaker 2: strong will lengthen your lifespan and decrease your chance of
Speaker 2: accidents and give you stronger bones and everything else. So
Speaker 2: muscle strength and endurance are important. The key is consistency. Now,
Speaker 2: most people who start out the year going Okay, I
Speaker 2: think I'm gonna get more exercise. That's my new year's resolution,
Speaker 2: and then after about three to four weeks they feel
Speaker 2: the soreness, it's a hassle to get there to do it,
Speaker 2: and they finally give up. Well, you've got to hang
Speaker 2: in there for about three to four months to develop
Speaker 2: a new behavior. The key is consistency. So find an
Speaker 2: activity you enjoy ensuring long term commitment and success. Bone
Speaker 2: that's number one. Prioritize regular exercise. Number two is explore
Speaker 2: professional functional medicine and wellness services outside of the sick
Speaker 2: care system, which is all about fixing stuff after it's
Speaker 2: already broken. Achieving overall well being often requires more than
Speaker 2: personal effort. The medical model that we have here in
Speaker 2: the US is like terrible. We have poor longevity and
Speaker 2: poor outcomes in terms of health. Medical model is great
Speaker 2: for crisis management, don't get me wrong. Nine to one
Speaker 2: one triagy you need all of that shock everything, But
Speaker 2: when it comes to staying healthy, we don't have a
Speaker 2: healthcare system. Yeah, drugs are sometimes important sometimes you've got
Speaker 2: to suppress symptoms, but not constantly. They have severe limitations
Speaker 2: and also lots of risks. This is where professional services
Speaker 2: outside conventional medicine can help. For example, finding a nature
Speaker 2: pathic doctor, a nature pathic physician, or a chiropractic physician,
Speaker 2: or somebody maybe with a PhD that has nutritional or
Speaker 2: lifestyle medicine or functional medicine in their background, or a
Speaker 2: DOO or an MD off a range of treatments designed
Speaker 2: to regenerate and help you to restore your body. Their
Speaker 2: services may include everything from nutritional assessments based on laboratory analysis, blood, urine, saliva, stool, hair,
Speaker 2: all of that can be analyzed and that way you
Speaker 2: hone in on what it is it's really wrong and
Speaker 2: not guess with it as much. Maybe they have detoxification
Speaker 2: programs available. Those are important. Other types of care that
Speaker 2: might be of available, IV therapies, intravenous high dose vitamin C,
Speaker 2: B vitamins, nutrients you can't otherwise get through the diet.
Speaker 2: All of these services could be available if you start
Speaker 2: exploring professional medicine and wellness services and then number three
Speaker 2: on the list of the top seven wellness chips. To
Speaker 2: make your twenty twenty five I have a healthier year
Speaker 2: has to be getting sufficient sleep. Sleep is crucial as
Speaker 2: an element in any lifestyle plan. During rest, your body
Speaker 2: repairs itself and your mind recharges itself. So focusing on
Speaker 2: making decisions and managing stress get difficult without enough sleep.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, So aiming for at least seven to eight
Speaker 2: hours of quality sleep a night is ideal for most adults.
Speaker 2: You've got to establish a consistent bedtime schedule, though limiting
Speaker 2: screen time just before going to bed. Maybe you have
Speaker 2: a cell phone, you need to quit staring at that
Speaker 2: a couple of hours before you go to bed, or
Speaker 2: watching the boob tube a couple of hours before you
Speaker 2: go to bed. If you're struggling, make sure that the
Speaker 2: environment that you're living in is nice and calm. You
Speaker 2: don't have noise going on in your bedroom or lights
Speaker 2: in your bedroom, especially if you have trouble sleeping, And
Speaker 2: there are techniques to help you sleep too, from mindfulness
Speaker 2: to cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia might be helpful to
Speaker 2: address some of the root causes. Sleep is so often
Speaker 2: taken for granted and overlooked as almost Oh, I get
Speaker 2: tired of go to sleep? What doesn't everybody? Well? Quality
Speaker 2: sleep is what it's all about, getting that deep, restorative,
Speaker 2: rim rapidie movement sleep, which happens usually in the first
Speaker 2: hour of sleep. But some people just can't get to sleep.
Speaker 2: They can't go to sleep because they're hyped up on caffeine. Still,
Speaker 2: so push back on the caffeine. Start the cama mile
Speaker 2: early and often maybe a little lavender essential oil on
Speaker 2: the pillow, some magnesium glycinate about an hour before you
Speaker 2: go to bed. Do some deep breathing like some box breathing. Man,
Speaker 2: you'd be sleeping like a baby. We'll get to number
Speaker 2: four on the list of seven well being tips to
Speaker 2: make your twenty twenty five healthier right after this. I'm
Speaker 2: doctor Bob Martin. Are you waiting on a lighting stake?
Speaker 4: Are you eating on the perfect night?
Speaker 5: How are you waiting to the time is night.
Speaker 4: Don't you want to learn to deal it?
Speaker 2: Don't you want to take the wheel and steer it?
Speaker 2: Don't you beat another man?
Speaker 3: What are you in?
Speaker 2: Well, you're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin's show, and
Speaker 2: for that I thank you for doing so. Later on
Speaker 2: in the program, we're gonna have the top ten medical
Speaker 2: drugs that destroy hearing and cause ringing in your ears. Yes,
Speaker 2: if you have ringing in your ears and buzzing in
Speaker 2: your ears, or chirping your ears or something hummon yourars, whatever,
Speaker 2: that could have been caused by some medical drug that
Speaker 2: you took in the past, or a medical drug that
Speaker 2: you may be on, because they're there are a lot
Speaker 2: of drugs that are over the counter and prescription that
Speaker 2: destroy hearing. They do, and they also cause ringing in
Speaker 2: the ears or an exacerbation excuse me of ringing in
Speaker 2: the ears. So we'll get to that later. So don't
Speaker 2: go anywhere, and it will also return shortly here to
Speaker 2: the segment that I started this hour, seven well being
Speaker 2: tips to make your twenty twenty five a healthier year.
Speaker 2: We'll get to number four after I remind you that
Speaker 2: the oral cavity is the gateway to the rest of
Speaker 2: your body. If you have simmering, low grade infections in
Speaker 2: your gums, if you have periodontal disease, gingivitis, if you
Speaker 2: have problems just with hygiene in your oral cavity, that
Speaker 2: can cause problems in other parts of your body because
Speaker 2: it's hooked to your bloodstream, and that can carry those
Speaker 2: germs to your joints, to your heart, to other organs, cells, lands,
Speaker 2: and tissues. You don't want that. You want to make
Speaker 2: sure that that mouth, that oral cavity is as clean
Speaker 2: and as hygienic as it possibly can, and also not
Speaker 2: impart chemicals there that you see when you read the
Speaker 2: labels on those prototypical toothbases like Crest and Colgate and
Speaker 2: sensidine and all this. Do you read the article, you
Speaker 2: read those chemicals on there, you can't even pronounce the words.
Speaker 2: So the goal is to find a oral care system
Speaker 2: that doesn't have all the chemicals in it, that will
Speaker 2: actually do the job that makes your teeth squeaky clean,
Speaker 2: your breath excellent, and your gums healthy. That would be
Speaker 2: the Sprie Dental Defense System. I use it, my family
Speaker 2: uses it, my colleagues use the Spry Dental Defense System.
Speaker 2: They do so because they want good news when they
Speaker 2: go to the dentists to get a deep cleaning with
Speaker 2: the hygienist, and they don't want any drilling, filling bridges,
Speaker 2: or any other traumatic events that go on in the
Speaker 2: prototypical dental practice. God bless them. The Spry Dental Defense
Speaker 2: System comes in peppermint, cinnamon and spearmouth. The secret sauce
Speaker 2: is really the xylotol used by millions of people's elotols,
Speaker 2: a plant based ingredient. In Spry s p r Y
Speaker 2: toothpaste and mouth rents and gum and mints. It's anti cavity,
Speaker 2: anti plaquet, anti bad news. And when the high genist
Speaker 2: and the denis peers into your mouth, once you're on
Speaker 2: the Sprie Dental Defense system, they're gonna be going, whoa
Speaker 2: impressive where you've been and you'll have to let them
Speaker 2: know about the Sprie Dental Defense System. You can find
Speaker 2: Spry s p r Y toothpaste, mouth rents at, Gum
Speaker 2: and Mints at CBS, Right Aid Pharmacies, Target Vitamin Shop,
Speaker 2: Sprouts Natural Grocery Store can go directly to their website.
Speaker 2: The makers of it over at clear x l e
Speaker 2: A r dot com, Clear dot Com. They're the makers
Speaker 2: also of the clear nasals Ray family to keep your
Speaker 2: nasal cavity clear, which is where all the germs enter
Speaker 2: your body. Clear dot com or spread ndled events. All right,
Speaker 2: let's get back to the list of top which really
Speaker 2: we have seven of them today well being tips to
Speaker 2: make your twenty twenty five a healthier year. We go
Speaker 2: to number four, which is all about managing stress effectively.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows, or at least maybe you've heard, that chronic
Speaker 2: stress can have a major detrimental effect on your life
Speaker 2: and your well being, leading to not only physical issues
Speaker 2: like headaches and digestive problems, but also emotional problems emotional
Speaker 2: struggles such as anxiety, irritability, and depression. So managing stress
Speaker 2: is vital for a balanced lifestyle, and what you should do,
Speaker 2: perhaps is start identifying triggers and make those small adjustments
Speaker 2: to avoid the stress so you don't have to repeat
Speaker 2: it over and over and over again. And then find
Speaker 2: out about relaxation techniques so that you can counteract the
Speaker 2: stress that we all have, some of it. That's life, right.
Speaker 2: Maybe you find some relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing,
Speaker 2: every time you feel the stress coming on and your
Speaker 2: blood pressure is rising and you're feeling anxious, or you
Speaker 2: just start walking the exercise where you do progressive muscle
Speaker 2: relaxation that can help to activate your body's relaxation response
Speaker 2: to help improve your overall well being. And then on
Speaker 2: top of that, you can incorporate time for fun activities
Speaker 2: and hobbies. They can offer a healthy distraction to stress
Speaker 2: when stress becomes overwhelming, when it's really overwhelming and you
Speaker 2: can't handle it, I'm not against seeking out professional help.
Speaker 2: In fact, I recommend it having talk therapy, a therapist
Speaker 2: or a counselor When you just feel like you're ready
Speaker 2: to jump out of your skin and there's no end
Speaker 2: in sight, and you have tried things and they're not working,
Speaker 2: and you don't want to drug yourself because well you
Speaker 2: just don't, then seek out some talk therapy and see
Speaker 2: if you can figure out where the stress is coming
Speaker 2: from and then address it. Number five on the list
Speaker 2: of top seven well being tips to make your twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five a healthier year is really simple, but a
Speaker 2: lot of people just sort of blow by it, and
Speaker 2: that's staying hydrated. Drinking enough water is essential to our
Speaker 2: well being in terms of maintaining our energy and supporting
Speaker 2: various bodily functions. So do stay hydrated. It helps to
Speaker 2: regulate your body temperature, It helps to improve your digestion
Speaker 2: and keeps your skin looking fresh. It also plays a
Speaker 2: key role in nutrient absorption and flushing of ToxS, and
Speaker 2: gosh knows, we got a lot of toxins in our
Speaker 2: environment today. The average person is exposed to over one
Speaker 2: thousand not in nature one thousand synthetic chemicals every day.
Speaker 2: So water, fresh, clean, pure water is absolutely essential. So
Speaker 2: aim to drink water regularly throughout the day, especially if
Speaker 2: you're active or you're in a hot environment. And for
Speaker 2: those who need a bit more flavor, maybe consider because
Speaker 2: you think water is boring and you have to have
Speaker 2: something that's got to light up your taste. But I
Speaker 2: get that, how about adding just a little bit of
Speaker 2: lemon or lime, or maybe go with an herbal tea
Speaker 2: or some coconut water for hydration to replenish your body.
Speaker 2: Staying hydrated ensures you feel energized and can tackle the
Speaker 2: day effectively. And I know it's simple, but it's one
Speaker 2: of those things that's overlooked so often. That's number five.
Speaker 2: Number six. Good body structure equals good body functions. Proper
Speaker 2: spinal alignment is essential to your overall health since the
Speaker 2: central nervous system, which houses twenty four spinal bones and vertebrate,
Speaker 2: if a sublixation, which is a spinal misalignment, occurs, it
Speaker 2: can interfere with the nerve signaling communication between your brain,
Speaker 2: your organs, your glands, your tissues. So restoring proper spinal
Speaker 2: alignment through chiropractic adjustments can not only alleviate pain, but
Speaker 2: it can also ensure optimal communication between your brain and
Speaker 2: the rest of your body, including your immune system, your
Speaker 2: digestive system, cardiovascular system, your hormone system. Scientific research highlights
Speaker 2: that spinal adjustments delivered by a chiropractic physician can eliminate
Speaker 2: nerve interference, improving communication between your brain and the rest
Speaker 2: of the body. So, if you haven't had to tune
Speaker 2: up lately, get one done. We'll get to number seven

Speaker 2: hours or a couple of days, depending on who's posting
Speaker 2: up on it. You can go to my website at
Speaker 2: doctor Bob dot com spelling out the word doctor doct
Speaker 2: o r bob dot com go to the podcast library
Speaker 2: to hear these seven well being tips. Maybe you have

Speaker 2: far covered six of them. One being prioritizing your regular exercise.
Speaker 2: Two exploring professional functional medicine and wellness services. Three getting
Speaker 2: sufficient sleep, four managing stress effectively, five staying hydrated. Six
Speaker 2: making sure you keep an eye on goodbody structure means
Speaker 2: good body function. Poor body structure means poor body function.
Speaker 2: This is why so many people try everything in the
Speaker 2: world to get well, and they say, well, I've tried everything,
Speaker 2: I'll see it. I'll try a chiropractor maybe, and then
Speaker 2: they get them. They come out of there and they
Speaker 2: feel like a million dollars and they understand why number
Speaker 2: seven on the list is finally and this really gets
Speaker 2: to the mechanism of how back to stress again, how
Speaker 2: stress can affect us. I've read studies where they figured
Speaker 2: that about eighty percent of every visit that a doctor
Speaker 2: sees a patient for, there's a mechanism of stress associated
Speaker 2: with that visit. Whether it's you know, they got a
Speaker 2: common cold because they were stressed, they didn't get enough
Speaker 2: sleep because they were stressed, and the list goes on
Speaker 2: and on. So number seven is about incorporating mindfulness and
Speaker 2: meditation or some kind of relaxation chill response so that
Speaker 2: your immune system doesn't get dragged down and you become ill.
Speaker 2: Mindfulness and meditation are powerful practices that can greatly enhance
Speaker 2: your mental and emotional health. So by focusing on the
Speaker 2: present moment and observing your thoughts without judgment, you can
Speaker 2: reduce anxiety, promote relaxation, and improve your concentration. So regular
Speaker 2: and it could be whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 2: biofeedback meditation. It helps to activate the parasympathetic nervous system,
Speaker 2: which promotes a calm state and reduces stress. Starting with
Speaker 2: just a few minutes of mindfulness or deep breathing exercises
Speaker 2: each day can provide immediate benefits to your well being
Speaker 2: over time, these practices cultivate resilience and improve emotional regulation,
Speaker 2: making it easier to manage life's challenges. So, whether through
Speaker 2: guided meditation, yoga, or simple breathing exercises, incorporating mindfulness into
Speaker 2: your daily routine can create a sense of inner peace
Speaker 2: and increase overall life satisfaction. So make twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: a healthier year and staying healthy.

Speaker 2: Here we go. First up is Lauri in Orangetown, Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Good morning, doctor Bob.
Speaker 6: This is Laurie. Two months back, maybe five months back.
Speaker 6: You've had a biochemist for Biomedical gust On and I
Speaker 6: was able to listen until I had to check in
Speaker 6: for church. My son is forty three. He has a
Speaker 6: scared irma Vernod's interstitial lung disease, and they just diagnosed
Speaker 6: him with pulmonary fibrosis. Their suggestion is just to stay
Speaker 6: on in the medication that he's on. Well, I mean
Speaker 6: he can barely breathe, and I'm not in agreement. I
Speaker 6: can't you get any other professional opinion. I think it's
Speaker 6: time to go outside the box. If you could at
Speaker 6: least give me the name of that biomedical I've looked
Speaker 6: it up, I can't find it anywhere, or give me
Speaker 6: some suggestion. I would appreciate it. I'm really fearful. He's
Speaker 6: very proud. Won't even let me take him to the hospital.
Speaker 6: Got me checking them all night to see if his
Speaker 6: lips and tongue were blue. So I do need some assistance,
Speaker 6: please answer Michael, thank.
Speaker 2: You, Okay, Laurie, sorry to hear that. Well. Due to
Speaker 2: the seriousness of the condition, he needs to be under
Speaker 2: the care of two medical specialists, one that can manage
Speaker 2: the disease crisis management. That would be a conventional MD
Speaker 2: with drugs or whatever, and another maybe mdd O or
Speaker 2: MD trained in functional medicine. Your son is just too
Speaker 2: sick for me to make a recommendation in this kind
Speaker 2: of a forum as this is. You know, it's really
Speaker 2: tough when somebody also is not wanting to do something
Speaker 2: for themselves. So my gosh, seek out somebody that can
Speaker 2: listen to him. Autoimmune diseases are usually driven by infections.
Speaker 2: Somebody needs to get to the bottom of the infection
Speaker 2: that he has these low grade infections, and usually a
Speaker 2: functional medicine doctor can do that. So encourage him, please
Speaker 2: not to give up and to seek out that form
Speaker 2: of care. Appreciate you calling, Gloria. Take care. We'll be
Speaker 2: right back. Oh, you don't want to go anywhere, because
Speaker 2: I'm going to be talking later in the show about
Speaker 2: these weight loss drugs that are really popular right now
Speaker 2: and the elite in Hollywood are using them to lose
Speaker 2: major weight. We're talking about these injections of ozambaic, wegaby
Speaker 2: and all others now being found that they may cause blindness.
Speaker 2: We'll get into that, So don't go anywhere. Let's go
Speaker 2: right back to your telephone calls. Next up is Jack
Speaker 2: in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Speaker 3: This is Jack in Lincoln, Nebraska, and I want to
Speaker 3: know if there was an alternative of getting the doctor
Speaker 3: told me that I have and both shown I need
Speaker 3: to get artificial shoulders. Is there an alternative, anything like
Speaker 3: seeing a chiropractor or anything that I can do where
Speaker 3: I can keep my shoulders without getting artificial shoulders? That
Speaker 3: is it? Thank you.
Speaker 2: You don't want artificial shoulders. I can understand that that
Speaker 2: is highly risky. You might think about or find somebody
Speaker 2: who does prolo therapy or PRP platelet rich plasma, maybe
Speaker 2: somebody that does hyaluronic acid injections. There's a therapy that
Speaker 2: would help you greatly called soft wave therapy, also called
Speaker 2: shockwave therapy, and that would be important. Yes, DC, a
Speaker 2: chiropractical physician would be a good choice. I would find
Speaker 2: one that's certified in applied kinesiology. You might look into acupuncture.
Speaker 2: You need to be using ologen and other nutritional products
Speaker 2: that can help the regenerative activity within the joints, including collagen,
Speaker 2: and you can get collagen supplements in the health food stores.
Speaker 2: There are supplements that are chondroitin sulfate and other supplements
Speaker 2: that are anti inflammatory, because that shoulder needs to get
Speaker 2: motion back into it. Once you have motion back into
Speaker 2: the shoulder and the nerve supply is not being compromised,
Speaker 2: the muscles, the shoulder rotator cuff is intact, the ligaments
Speaker 2: are moving, you can rehabilitate shoulder problems. And I know
Speaker 2: doctors will try to convince you the ones that are
Speaker 2: going to profit through doing a complete shoulder joint rehaul
Speaker 2: or replacement, but look, there's a lot of risks associated
Speaker 2: with that. I would try a conservative program, and I
Speaker 2: don't I don't blame you for seeking one out, but
Speaker 2: it has to be long term. You've got to think
Speaker 2: about three to six months from now, because this isn't
Speaker 2: going to happen over overnight or next week or next month.
Speaker 2: You've developed this over decades and it's going to take
Speaker 2: some time, Jack to unwind this. So start interviewing doctors
Speaker 2: who do the therapies that I recommended. Go in, sit down,
Speaker 2: say okay, I've got this. What would you do? And
Speaker 2: when you feel comfortable and you have enough education and
Speaker 2: understanding of what they're planning to do, pull the trigger.
Speaker 2: Get under the care and see what happens over the
Speaker 2: next four to six months, because it's going to take
Speaker 2: that long for you to respond for what you have.
Speaker 2: Appreciate your call, Jack. Good health to you, all right, ladies,
Speaker 2: and don't stay with us. You're tuned into the Doctor
Speaker 2: Bob Martin Show.
