Your body is sending distress signals every day — and a simple urine and saliva test can decode them.

In this episode of Common-Sense Wellness, Dr. Gary Martin discusses how to interpret BIA® test results when the numbers seem contradictory. He explains the relationship between ORP levels, pH balance, metabolism efficiency, and adverse relationships, showing how high stress — whether physical, dietary, or emotional — creates measurable imbalances in the body. Dr. Martin also introduces listeners to practical tools including the client lab kit, the Dr. Martin app, and the Learnistic platform for self-testing and ongoing education. He closes by walking through the Healthy Vibes formulas — Love and Gratitude, Joy and Happiness, and Peace and Hope — and how to use the assay system to determine which frequency your body needs most.

Key Takeaways:

→ A high ORP reading alongside near-perfect BIA numbers signals hidden stress — often from food allergies, dehydration, or inadequate hydrogen water intake.

→ The Adverse Relationship score reveals how much stress is taxing your endocrine system; more ARs than your metabolism efficiency warrants means your body is in a false positive state.

→ Saliva pH below the balanced value is a red flag — a healthy body under stress should see saliva rise, not fall, as it neutralizes acid.

→ Testing yourself when you're sick is one of the most valuable learning experiences available; your numbers tell the story of what's happening inside in real time.

→ The Healthy Vibes assay removes the guesswork from emotional wellness — by answering 20 questions, you can identify the precise frequency your body needs and regulate your intake accordingly.

At 67, Axay Shah has run eight marathons on zero medications by eating nothing Mother Nature didn't make.

In this episode of Common-Sense Wellness, Dr. Gary Martin discusses raw food living with Axay Shah, founder of RawFoodiest.com. Axay explains how a 100% plant-based raw diet reversed his liver enzyme levels and left him with more energy at 67 than he had at 40. He breaks down the five "poisons" he eliminated: refined sugar, refined salt, refined oil, dairy, and grains. Backed by 21 years of independently verified medical records, Axay makes the case for treating food as fuel instead of comfort.

Key Takeaways:

→ A 100% raw, plant-based diet reversed Axay's liver enzyme levels over 16 years, effectively turning back his biological clock.

→ Eliminating five "poisons," refined sugar, refined salt, refined oil, dairy, and grains, transformed his energy and health.

→ Independent verification from a physician gave Axay's 21+ years of medical data credibility beyond his own testimony.

→ Testing and tracking personal health markers, like urine and saliva analysis, reveals what the body actually needs to heal.

→ The body has an innate capacity to heal itself once toxic overload is removed and brain-to-cell communication is restored.

Axay Shah is the founder of RawFoodiest.com and author of IN NATURE WE TRUST: A Raw Food Manifesto for Energy, Healing & Longevity (Nature Trust Press, March 2026) an Amazon #1 Hot New Release now catalogued by the Library of Congress and carried in California's BiblioBoard library network.

At 67, Axay has lived a 100% plant-based raw food lifestyle for over 16 years, guided by a single mantra: "If it's not made by Mother Nature, it's not going on my plate." He completed his 8th Los Angeles Marathon in March 2026 with zero medications, no chronic conditions, and energy that rivals his 40s. His transformation is backed by 21+ years of publicly documented medical records (RawFoodiest.com/medical-proof), independently verified by physician Dr. Shrenik Shah, who authored the book's foreword.

Through his Energy System Dysfunction framework and SEED / SPROUT / BLOOM coaching programs, Axay teaches biological sovereignty the body's innate capacity to heal when aligned with nature. He has been featured on podcasts across the US, UK, Australia, Europe, Dubai, and India.

Your hair holds a physical record of everything your body has lived through, and it does not lie.

In this episode of Common-Sense Wellness, Dr. Gary Martin discusses a real hair mineral analysis from an 84-year-old woman living under extreme stress, using it to teach how the HMA maps a person's entire stress history. He explains how sky-high calcium and magnesium levels signal that the body is mobilizing its defenses against radiation in the form of stress, pain, and trauma. Dr. Martin then walks through the four stages of sodium and potassium depletion on the HMA, showing how the body progresses from coping all the way to nervous breakdown. He closes with a live membrane chart example and a powerful hands-on demonstration showing that when you stop resisting what you are not, the triggering patterns in your life simply lose their power.

Key Takeaways:

→ Elevated calcium and magnesium on the hair mineral analysis always signal that the body senses radiation, whether that radiation is physical stress, emotional pain, inflammation, or literal environmental radiation.

→ The four stages of sodium and potassium depletion on the HMA track the body's progression from stage one vitality all the way to stage four nervous breakdown, and knowing your stage tells you how urgent the intervention needs to be.

→ Hair has memory, meaning the HMA can reveal not just current stress but whether that stress has been a recent crisis or a long-standing pattern embedded over years.

→ The only thing consistently shown to bring down abnormally high calcium on the HMA is membrane processing, because it addresses the root of the stress response rather than the symptom.

→ When you stop pressing back against what you are not, the resistance disappears entirely, and so do the people and patterns that were draining your energy.
