681. The Netflix Syndrome

The CDC is showing that 61% of the population in North America have reported weight gain in the last 18 months. The average weight gain is 15 pounds! Dr. Martin is calling this The Netflix Syndrome. People have been staying home, the schools were closed, the shut downs occurred. People have not been getting exercise or even getting out. They’re staying home and watching Netflix. In addition to this, the National Health Institute is saying if you gain 11 pounds you have almost an 80% increase in your risk of developing Type II diabetes. This information isn’t getting out to the general public. We’re not being told how to better protect ourselves from viruses and bacteria. This bothers Dr. Martin!
