Dr. Martin shares the illustration of your body as a wood stove. To start a fire, you start with paper and twigs, and once that’s burning, you add logs to keep the fire going. If you don’t start burning logs, your fire will quickly go out.  In this illustration, paper and twigs are the crappy carbs we consume, and the logs are eggs, meat and cheese. The paper and twigs burn quickly, and you’ll need to continually add more fuel to the fire. With the logs, they will burn a lot longer, providing a longer lasting source of energy. The better the fuel, the better the results! Dr. Martin also discusses several statements about generalities in health. Statements such as, “don’t manage disease, prevent it,” and “treat the cause of the illness,” are discussed in today’s episode.
