The 5 Root Causes of Autoimmune Disease (And How to Start Healing)
11 mei 2026 · 27 min
Autoimmune disease is often treated as something random, lifelong, and out of your control. But what if it’s not your body malfunctioning—what if it’s your immune system responding exactly the way it’s designed to, to something it sees as a threat? When you understand what’s driving that response, everything changes. Lees meer
Here’s what I cover in today’s episode:
• The 5 key drivers—food, toxins, gut health, infections, and stress—and how they disrupt the immune system
• Why diet is one of the most powerful levers for turning inflammation on or off every single day
• The connection between leaky gut, the microbiome, and immune dysfunction
• A practical, functional medicine framework to start reducing symptoms and addressing the condition at the rootAutoimmune disease isn’t random—it’s the result of cumulative inputs over time. When you begin to change those inputs, you can shift your biology, calm the immune system, and change the trajectory of your health.

The Real Reason You Age (And How to Slow It Down) | Dr. Eric Verdin
6 mei 2026 · 1 uur 13 min
We tend to think of heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s as separate problems. But what if they all stem from the same underlying process? Lees meer
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Eric Verdin, whose research, including work on compounds like urolithin A, is helping reshape how we think about aging and long-term health. We explore why aging may be the biggest driver of chronic disease and what that means for how you approach your health.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
We unpack:
• How your immune system becomes both overactive and less effective over time
• What chronic inflammation is doing inside your body and how to start bringing it back into balance
• Why cellular energy and mitochondrial health are key to repair and recovery
• How your microbiome shapes inflammation, immunity, and long-term health
• The daily habits that impact longevity most and where people get it wrong
This conversation reflects a shift in how we think about health, moving beyond treating disease to understanding what’s driving it in the first place.

6 Root Causes of Migraines (And How to Fix Them)
4 mei 2026 · 27 min
Migraines aren’t just headaches and if you’ve ever had one, you know how debilitating they can be. But they’re not random, and they’re not just genetic. Migraines are a signal that something deeper is out of balance in your body and if you only treat the symptoms, you miss the real opportunity to prevent them. Lees meer
In this episode, I break down what’s really driving migraines, including:
• The root causes most people miss—from inflammation and blood sugar swings to hormones, gut health, and nutrient deficiencies
• Why migraines are a full-body neurological event, not just a head issue, and what that means for treatment
• How your cycle, stress levels, and nervous system can lower your threshold and make migraines more likely
• A functional medicine approach to prevention—simple shifts in diet, lifestyle, and nutrients that can reduce frequency and severityMigraines don’t come out of nowhere—they happen when your body hits a threshold. When you lower the load and support your biology, you don’t just manage migraines—you can actually start to prevent them. To go deeper on this topic, check out my past episode with Dr. Todd LePine: https://youtu.be/hnmCIGNko64.

The Mental Health Crisis Starts in the Gut | Dr. William Li & Dr. Mark Hyman
29 april 2026 · 1 uur 5 min
It’s easy to think of mental health as something happening only in the brain. But more and more, we’re seeing how closely it’s tied to what’s going on in the gut. Lees meer
Today, I’m joined again by Dr. William Li, a New York Times bestselling author. We discuss his latest book, Eat to Beat Your Diet, and how food, inflammation, and microbiome shape the way we think and feel.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts - https://youtu.be/rY0OE-1blL0
In this conversation we discuss:
• What if your anxiety or brain fog is actually a signal coming from your gut
• Why gut health may be the missing piece in how we think about mental health
• How everyday foods can either fuel inflammation or help calm your system
• The compounds in real food that quietly support memory, mood, and mental clarity
• Simple shifts that can help reset your system and support how you feel day to day
Mental health isn’t separate from the rest of the body. The more we understand that, the more it shifts where you look for answers.
If you’re looking for more support and community around this, the 10-Day Detox is designed to help reduce inflammation and support your body using real food.

Feeding Kids Is Hard—Here’s What They Actually Need
27 april 2026 · 38 min
Most parents are doing their best but the modern food environment is working against them. Between ultra-processed foods, constant marketing, and confusing nutrition advice, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Lees meer
But what your child eats doesn’t just affect their growth—it shapes their brain, immune system, metabolism, and long-term health. In this episode, we break down what actually matters and how to approach it without perfection or guilt.
Here’s what every parent needs to know:
• The foundational nutrition principles that matter most for kids (and why blood sugar stability plays central role)
• Whether kids actually need supplements and the most common nutrient deficiencies to watch for
• How to strengthen your child’s immune system through food, gut health, sleep, and daily habits
• Practical strategies to reduce ultra-processed foods, handle picky eating, and support issues like eczema at the rootYou don’t need to do everything perfectly to transform your child’s health. Small, consistent shifts—what’s on their plate, how they eat, and the environment you create—can shape their biology for decades to come.

We Can Detect Cancer Years Earlier—So Why Aren’t We?
22 april 2026 · 1 uur 8 min
Most of medicine is built around snapshots. You feel something, you test for it, and by the time you find it, you’re already behind. Lees meer
But what if the problem isn’t the test—it’s how we use it?
In this episode, I sit down with physicist and imaging pioneer Dr. Daniel Sodickson, Chief Medical Scientist at Function Health and author of The Future of Seeing. We break down why tools like MRI are shifting from one-time scans to something far more powerful: tracking your health over time.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why waiting for symptoms puts you behind—and how to get ahead
• What an MRI can reveal about your body that bloodwork can’t
• How tracking your health over time helps you catch problems sooner
• Why having a baseline could change the way you make health decisions
• What it means to shift from reacting to disease to actually predicting it
When you stop looking at a single result and start looking at patterns, you can catch changes earlier, reduce false alarms, and better predict where your health is headed.

Can’t Fall or Stay Asleep? Your Sleep Questions Answered
20 april 2026 · 30 min
Sleep is one of the most important and most overlooked drivers of your health. If you’re struggling to fall asleep, waking up at 2–4am, or getting a full night’s sleep but still feeling exhausted, your body is trying to tell you something. Lees meer
Poor sleep isn’t just about habits, it’s a signal that key systems like your nervous system, blood sugar, hormones, or circadian rhythm are out of sync. In this episode, we break down what’s actually disrupting your sleep and how to fix it at the root.
Here’s what you’ll understand:
• Why sleep issues are rarely just one problem and how stress, blood sugar, and circadian rhythm all interact
• The real reasons you can’t fall asleep, wake up in the middle of the night, or feel tired despite 7–8 hours
• What actually helps (and what doesn’t)—from magnesium and melatonin to nervous system regulation
• The 5 core pillars of better sleep and the highest-impact changes you can start tonightSleep isn’t something you force, it’s something that happens when your body feels safe, balanced, and supported. When you address the root causes, better sleep becomes not just possible but predictable.

Tired But Wired? The Hidden Loop Destroying Your Energy | Dr. Scott Sherr, MD
15 april 2026 · 1 uur 22 min
What if feeling better didn’t have to take months or years to figure out, but could start today? Lees meer
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr to talk about why so many people feel stuck in what he calls a “sympathetic spiral of doom.” Energy is low, recovery isn’t what it used to be, and there’s a constant sense of stress that doesn’t seem to resolve.
We walk through what’s actually happening beneath the surface, why it can be so hard to break out of that pattern once you’re in it, and how to start shifting your energy and recovery.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Why you feel “tired but wired” and what it actually means for your body
• What’s keeping your energy low even when nothing obvious is wrong
• How stress from your life and environment builds up and keeps you stuck
• Why calming down doesn’t always work—and what to focus on instead
• How to start rebuilding your energy so your body can recover and adapt
We shouldn’t have to wait for something to go wrong to take action. The goal is to help your body function better so you can actually feel it day to day.

What It Really Means to Regulate Your Nervous System—and How to Start
13 april 2026 · 20 min
If you’re doing everything “right”—eating well, taking supplements, working on your health—but still feel stuck, this might be the missing piece. Your body cannot heal if it thinks it’s under threat. In this episode, we unpack why your nervous system may be the hidden driver behind inflammation, hormone imbalance, weight gain, and more—and how to finally shift your body into healing mode. Lees meer
Here’s what could be keeping you stuck:
• Why chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation can block healing—even when everything else is “on point”
• How your nervous system impacts your gut, hormones, metabolism, immune system, and weight
• The difference between feeling “tired but wired” vs. true resilience and what a regulated system actually looks like
• Simple, science-backed ways to regulate your nervous system through blood sugar, breath, sleep, and daily habitsYou can’t out-supplement or out-diet a body that feels unsafe. But when you learn how to regulate your nervous system, you unlock your body’s natural ability to repair, rebalance, and heal.

We get into what shifted along the way and what it really takes to keep showing up at a high level year after year.

• What simple habits actually move the needle over time
• How understanding your data helps you make better daily decisions

On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Jonathan Kanevsky, a board-certified plastic surgeon who made the decision to stop performing breast implant procedures after years of listening closely to his patients.

Why Endometriosis Keeps Coming Back (And How to Break the Cycle)
30 maart 2026 · 40 min
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women yet it often takes years to diagnose, and many are told their pain is “normal” or simply treated with birth control or surgery. Lees meer
But endometriosis isn’t just a hormone issue—it’s a whole-body condition driven by inflammation, immune dysfunction, gut health, and environmental exposures. In this episode, we break down what’s really causing it and what you can do to address it at the root. I’m joined by my longtime colleague and friend, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Medical Director and Functional Medicine Physician at The UltraWellness Center.
Here’s what we break down:
• Why endometriosis is not just a gynecologic condition and the root causes most doctors miss
• The hidden role of gut health, inflammation, and the microbiome in driving symptoms
• How estrogen imbalance and environmental toxins (xenoestrogens) fuel the condition
• A functional medicine approach to reducing pain and preventing recurrence beyond medication or surgeryIf you’re struggling with endometriosis or unresolved symptoms and want a more personalized, root-cause approach, you can learn more about becoming a patient at The UltraWellness Center here: https://www.ultrawellnesscenter.com/becoming-a-patient/

Your Baby's Metabolism is Being Decided Right Now | Jessie Inchauspé
25 maart 2026 · 59 min
Pregnancy is often filled with anticipation, excitement, and a lot of questions. But biologically, it’s also a powerful window when a baby’s metabolism and long-term health begin to take shape. Lees meer
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with biochemist and bestselling author Jessie Inchauspé about how nutrition during pregnancy can influence a baby’s development and long-term health. Her new book, 9 Months That Count Forever, takes a closer look at the science behind these connections.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
We discuss:
• Why pregnancy may be one of the most important windows for shaping lifelong health
• Why balancing blood sugar during pregnancy matters—and simple ways to reduce glucose spikes
• The nutrients that matter most during pregnancy, from choline and protein to omega-3s
• How to make healthier choices during pregnancy without added stress or confusion
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about understanding what matters most and making small, consistent choices that support both you and your baby.

Office Hours: The Fiber Trend—How Much Is Too Much?
23 maart 2026 · 21 min
Fiber is having a moment—but more isn’t always better. From “fiber maxing” trends to high-fiber hacks promising weight loss and better metabolism, it’s easy to assume that piling on more fiber is the answer. In this episode of Office Hours, I break down what fiber actually does in the body, who benefits most from increasing it, and how to use it strategically to support your gut and metabolic health. Lees meer
In this episode, I break down:
• What fiber actually does in the body—from feeding your microbiome to regulating blood sugar, cholesterol, and hormones
• Who benefits most from increasing fiber (and why it can support weight loss, insulin sensitivity, and estrogen balance)
• When more fiber can make things worse—especially with IBS, SIBO, or gut inflammation
• How to increase fiber the right way, including types of fiber, timing, hydration, and why protein still mattersFiber isn’t a trend or a quick fix—it’s a foundational nutrient. But the goal isn’t to “max out” your intake. It’s to build metabolic and gut resilience by giving your body the right types and amounts it actually needs. When used correctly, fiber can be one of the most powerful tools for long-term health—but only when it’s personalized to your biology.

The Skill No One Teaches Us About Love | Baya Voce
18 maart 2026 · 1 uur 20 min
Falling in love can be easy. Staying connected when conflict and stress show up is where the real work begins. Lees meer
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with relationship repair expert Baya Voce to explore why healthy relationships aren’t defined by the absence of conflict, but by the ability to repair and reconnect—and why repair depends as much on nervous system regulation as communication.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
Here’s what we unpack:
• Why conflict isn’t the real problem in relationships—and what actually keeps couples connected
• What happens in the body during arguments, and why nervous system regulation matters more than the “right” words
• How past relationship wounds and attachment patterns shape the way we react during conflict
• Practical ways couples can repair after conflict and reconnect more quickly
When couples learn how to repair after conflict, even difficult moments can become opportunities for deeper connection and growth.

Office Hours: Your Pregnancy & Postpartum Questions Answered
16 maart 2026 · 30 min
Pregnancy doesn’t just change your life—it transforms your entire biology. Lees meer
Hormones shift, metabolism adapts, nutrient needs increase, and your nervous system recalibrates in ways most women are never fully prepared for. And after birth, the postpartum phase can be one of the most overlooked and underserved stages of a woman’s health.
In this episode, I answer your most common questions, including:
• How to choose the right prenatal vitamins—including why methylated folate matters and the difference between folate and folic acid
• Natural ways to manage common pregnancy symptoms like nausea, heartburn, sciatica, and fatigue
• Key nutrition strategies during pregnancy to support both mother and baby
• What happens during postpartum—from hormone and thyroid shifts to hair loss, immune changes, pelvic floor recovery, and C-section healingPregnancy and postpartum aren’t separate events—they’re part of a continuous biological transition that affects hormones, metabolism, and overall health. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s understanding what your body is going through and supporting it with the right nutrients, habits, and care so you can recover, rebuild, and thrive.

Why IVF Isn’t Fixing the Fertility Crisis (and What Actually Will) | Dr. Ann Shippy
11 maart 2026 · 1 uur 5 min
Fertility struggles are often treated as a problem to solve only after they appear. But what if they’re actually a signal from the body that something deeper needs attention? Lees meer
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with functional medicine physician Dr. Ann Shippy, author of The Preconception Revolution, to talk about why the months—even years—before conception may shape not only your health, but your future child’s long-term health as well.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
In this conversation, we explore:
• What fertility challenges may be signaling about your health, and why infertility may be the body’s “check engine light”
• Why the 3–36 month preconception window can shape fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and your child’s long-term health
• How just three weeks of ultra-processed food can change sperm quality, and what that reveals about fertility
• What couples can start doing now to improve fertility, from strengthening metabolic health to reducing toxic exposures
• How preparing your body before pregnancy may reduce your child’s risk of chronic disease later in life
Preparing for pregnancy isn’t just about fertility. Many of the factors that influence fertility are within your control, and your body often responds in remarkable ways.

Office Hours: Peptides 101: The Truth About GLP-1, Recovery, and Anti-Aging
9 maart 2026 · 20 min
Peptides are everywhere right now—touted as tools for weight loss, muscle growth, faster recovery, and even longevity. But what are they actually, and do they live up to the hype? In this episode of Office Hours, I break down the science behind peptides, how they influence the body’s signaling systems, and how to think about them wisely within a functional medicine approach. Lees meer
In this episode, I cover:
• How peptides act as signaling molecules that regulate metabolism, repair, appetite, and energy
• The major peptide categories people are using today—from GLP-1 medications to growth and longevity peptides
• When peptide therapies may be helpful and the situations where caution is important
• Why foundational health habits still matter more than any advanced therapyPeptides may represent an exciting frontier in medicine, but they’re not shortcuts. They amplify the biological environment you already have. When your foundation is strong, targeted therapies can enhance healing and performance. But when your biology is inflamed, sleep-deprived, or metabolically dysfunctional, no peptide can override that terrain. Health isn’t built from hacks—it’s built from habits.

Halle Berry: Why Women Are Being Failed at Menopause
4 maart 2026 · 48 min
For decades, midlife has been framed as a time of decline for women — medically, culturally, and personally. Halle Berry is on a mission to change that. Lees meer
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, she shares how her own menopause journey exposed how little real support exists for the 60 million women navigating this transition. That experience ultimately led her to create ReSpin, the community she couldn’t find when she needed it.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
We discuss:
• Why menopause is often missed — and how to take back control of your energy, mood, and metabolism
• What changes in your brain, bones, and muscle and how to protect them in midlife
• How comprehensive testing gives you a personalized roadmap for this phase of life
• Why fatigue, low libido, and brain fog aren’t “just aging” — and what improves when you address the root cause
Your second act can be your strongest. It’s a chance to reclaim your strength, your energy, and your future on your own terms.
This conversation was recorded live at the Eudēmonia Summit.

Office Hours: The Truth About Environmental Toxins (And How to Protect Yourself)
2 maart 2026 · 30 min
Most of us think chronic disease is just about food, genetics, or aging. But there’s another major driver most doctors never talk about: your total toxic load. Every day, we’re exposed to chemicals in our food, water, air, and everyday products. Over time, that burden can disrupt hormones, damage mitochondria, drive inflammation, and overwhelm your body’s natural detox systems. Lees meer
This episode isn’t about fear—it’s about clarity. Because your body already knows how to detox. You just have to lower the load and support the system.
In today’s Office Hours, I break down:
• How environmental toxins disrupt hormones, metabolism, brain function, and immunity
• The biggest everyday sources of exposure—and the highest-impact swaps you can make
• How to support your body’s built-in detox pathways through food, fiber, hydration, and sweating
• Simple, realistic steps to lower your toxic load without extreme cleanses or perfectionThis isn’t about living toxin-free. It’s about living toxin-smart.

Why You Can’t “Think” Your Way Out of Anxiety (It’s Your Nervous System) | Dr. Nicole LePera
25 februari 2026 · 1 uur 7 min
If you’ve ever said, “I know my patterns — so why can’t I change them?” the answer may not be in your mind, but in your body. Lees meer
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Nicole LePera, The Holistic Psychologist, to explore how early experiences become your body’s default state—shaping your stress response, your relationships, and your risk for chronic disease.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
• How to recognize when your body is stuck in stress — even if your mind says you’re “fine”
• Why people-pleasing, overworking, or shutting down can become your default response
• What simple daily practices can calm your nervous system and support long-term health
• How creating safety in your body improves sleep, energy, and stress recovery
When you create safety in your body, you don’t just change your mood. You change your biology, your relationships, and your capacity to heal.

Office Hours: The Blood Tests That Actually Matter for Your Health
23 februari 2026 · 33 min
Most people think lab tests are only useful once something is wrong. But what if your blood work could show you where your health is headed—years before disease ever develops? In today’s Office Hours, I break down how to read your labs through a functional medicine lens—so you can spot early dysfunction, connect the dots between symptoms and biomarkers, and take control of your health before problems escalate. Lees meer
In this episode, I walk you through:
• Why “normal” lab ranges often miss early warning signs
• The key markers that reveal the most about metabolic health, inflammation, thyroid function, nutrients, and cardiovascular risk
• How functional medicine focuses on optimal ranges, patterns, and trends—not just disease thresholds
• What your labs can tell you about symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and gut issues
• How to track your numbers over time and ask smarter questions to shift from reaction to preventionLabs aren’t just for diagnosing disease—they’re a roadmap to optimizing your future health. When you understand your numbers, you stop guessing and start making data-driven decisions that build resilience and longevity.

How David Beckham & A Heart Transplant Survivor Plan to Stay Strong at 80
19 februari 2026 · 1 uur 1 min
For much of our lives, performance is measured in speed, strength, and output. As we get older, the equation changes. Lees meer
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Sir David Beckham and Dr. Dawn Mussallem to explore what elite sport, stage IV cancer, and heart transplantation can teach us about prevention—and what it really takes to sustain health over time.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
Together, we explore:
• Why your health trajectory is more changeable than you’ve been taught—especially after 40
• How sleep, stress, and metabolic health quietly shape your long-term disease risk
• Which daily habits give you the biggest return on investment over decades
• How to build resilience now so your body supports you later
The real measure of health isn’t what you can achieve in your 20s or 30s. It’s the resilience you build so your body supports you for decades to come.

Office Hours: Practical Advice on How to Heal from An Injury
16 februari 2026 · 29 min
Injury has a way of humbling you. One minute you’re strong and capable, and the next you’re struggling to do the simplest things—walking, sleeping, even brushing your teeth. Lees meer
I know this firsthand. After six back surgeries and more than a few serious setbacks, I’ve learned that healing isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you actively create. In today’s Office Hours, I share what I’ve learned not just as a doctor, but as a patient who worked his way back to strength offering a practical roadmap for putting your body into healing mode after an accident, injury, or surgery.
In today’s conversation, I cover:
• The 3 phases of healing—and what slows them down
• The essential recovery nutrition strategy (more protein, key micronutrients, anti-inflammatory fats)
• How to reduce excess inflammation while supporting repair
• Why sleep, stress regulation, and mitochondrial health are critical for recovery
• The mindset shift that can dramatically improve pain, resilience, and healing outcomesHealing isn’t luck—it’s biology. When you create the right conditions, your body knows exactly what to do. With the right inputs, you can reduce pain, shorten recovery time, and come back stronger than before.

School Food Is the Key to Fixing Our Children’s Health Crisis | Nora LaTorre
13 februari 2026 · 1 uur 13 min
If we want to fix food, we have to fix the institutions shaping what our kids eat every day. Lees meer
Public schools are effectively the largest restaurant chain in America, serving 30 million children. For many of them, school meals account for half of their daily calories. And yet, a majority of those calories still come from ultra-processed food.
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Nora LaTorre, CEO of Eat Real, to talk about why the school cafeteria may be the most powerful lever we have to reverse the childhood health crisis—and why change is already happening faster than most people think. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
Today we discuss:
• Why school food policy affects your family
• How removing added sugar from school menus can change focus, behavior, and long-term health
• Why school lunch participation rises when districts upgrade to real food
• How changing school procurement reshapes local farms and food systems
• What you can do as a parent to influence your district
In less than two years, Eat Real–partnered districts are proving that real food can scale across red states, blue states, rural communities, and major cities. When procurement changes, farms change, and when menus change, our children have a better chance to thrive.

Office Hours: Breaking Free from Food Addiction
9 februari 2026 · 32 min
For years, we’ve been told that overeating is a problem of willpower, and if we just tried harder, we’d eat less and feel better. But the science tells a very different story. In today’s Office Hours, I reframe the conversation around cravings and overeating—replacing shame and self-blame with science, clarity, and practical solutions. Lees meer
In this episode I share:
• Why food addiction is driven by brain chemistry, not lack of discipline
• How ultra-processed foods are designed to override satiety and keep you craving more
• What the “bliss point” is and how Big Food engineers addictive foods on purpose
• The link between hyperpalatable foods, chronic disease, and the healthcare crisis
• Practical steps to reset your brain, reduce cravings, and break freeWhen you understand how modern food is designed to override your biology, everything changes. You stop blaming yourself and start reclaiming your health with real, nourishing food and the right support.

How OpenAI Is Helping People Take Control of Their Health | Fidji Simo
4 februari 2026 · 1 uur 7 min
Too often, we focus on treating symptoms without fully understanding the systems underneath them—or the conditions that allow the body to function well in the first place. Lees meer
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Fidji Simo, CEO of Applications at OpenAI, to explore how AI could help us shift medicine from treating symptoms to restoring systems. We talk about why chronic illness is so often misunderstood, how health data has been fragmented across silos, and what becomes possible when we finally see the full picture. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why having a diagnosis doesn’t always explain what’s actually driving your symptoms
• How connecting your labs, lifestyle data, and health history can reveal patterns you might otherwise miss
• What it looks like to move from reactive care to proactive, personalized health
• How better context can help you make clearer decisions about food, sleep, movement, and recovery
Health isn’t built in a doctor’s office. When you create the right environment, the body often knows what to do—and understanding your own biology is one of the most powerful steps you can take toward creating health, not just reacting to disease.

Office Hours: Cholesterol and Heart Disease — What I’ve Changed My Mind About
2 februari 2026 · 30 min
For decades, we’ve been told that high cholesterol is the main driver of heart disease—and that lowering LDL should be the primary goal. But as science has evolved, so has my thinking. In today’s Office Hours, I explain why cholesterol alone doesn’t tell the full story, what most doctors still aren’t testing, and what’s really driving heart disease for the majority of people. Lees meer
Today we discuss:
• Why many people have heart attacks despite “normal” LDL cholesterol
• The difference between cholesterol levels and cholesterol particles
• How inflammation and insulin resistance fuel heart disease
• Why sugar and refined starches are more dangerous than fat
• The most important labs to assess real cardiovascular risk
• What ApoB, lipoprotein(a), and triglyceride-to-HDL ratio reveal about your health
• How metabolic dysfunction—not cholesterol alone—drives plaque buildupHeart disease is far more complex than a single lab value. When you understand the role of metabolic health, inflammation, and the right biomarkers, you can take meaningful steps to protect your heart and long-term health.

Why Men’s Fertility Is Collapsing and What It Means for Our Future | Dr. Michael L. Eisenberg
28 januari 2026 · 1 uur 21 min
Around the world, we’re seeing declining sperm counts, rising infertility, more erectile dysfunction, and lower testosterone—even in younger men. Lees meer
These trends aren’t just affecting family planning; they’re pointing to something much bigger happening in men’s health.
Joining me today on The Dr. Hyman Show is Dr. Michael Eisenberg, a Stanford researcher and leading voice in male reproductive health. We talk about why sperm quality matters far beyond fertility—and how everyday health choices quietly shape it. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
[YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL]
We cover:
• Why sperm quality may be one of the strongest early indicators of overall health and longevity
• How metabolic dysfunction, belly fat, and low testosterone impact fertility and sexual function
• The role environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors play in declining sperm counts
• What men can do right now to protect fertility and long-term vitality
When we look at fertility through the lens of whole-body health, it changes how we think about prevention, risk, and longevity. Male fertility isn’t just about reproduction. It’s a signal.

Fix the Brain, Change the Mind: Root-Cause Psychiatry with Dr. Robert Hedaya
21 januari 2026 · 1 uur 10 min
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Robert Hedaya, a psychiatrist who has spent decades working at the intersection of biology, brain function, and mental health. His approach starts with a different question than most psychiatry asks: what’s interfering with the brain’s ability to regulate, adapt, and repair itself? Lees meer
We talk about why many mental health diagnoses describe symptoms without explaining causes—and how measuring brain function, energy, and network activity is opening the door to more precise, individualized care.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
[YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL]
We discuss:
• How biological imbalances can drive anxiety, depression, and cognitive symptoms
• Why many “treatment-resistant” mental health issues have overlooked root causes
• How brain energy and mitochondrial function influence mood and cognition
• What advanced brain mapping reveals about how your brain is actually working
For far too long, mental health care has focused on managing symptoms in isolation. This discussion looks at what becomes possible when we treat the brain as part of the whole system and support its ability to heal.

Office Hours: Answering Your Questions on the New Dietary Guidelines
19 januari 2026 · 27 min
In this Office Hours episode, I break down what the government finally got right about food, where the new guidelines still fall short, and—most importantly—how to apply them in real life without confusion or overwhelm. For the first time in decades, there’s meaningful progress: a recognition that ultra-processed foods are harming us, that protein matters for optimal health, and that nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all. But there’s still work to do. Lees meer
In this episode, I break down:
• Why calling out ultra-processed foods is the most important—and historic—shift in the new guidelines
• What the new protein recommendations actually mean for everyday people
• Why the low-fat era is finally ending—and why whole foods matter more than isolated nutrients
• Where the guidelines still fall short, including saturated fat limits, whole grain recommendations, and lack of personalization
• How to apply the guidelines to kids and families without perfection or overwhelm
• Why chronic disease is a policy problem—not a personal failureThe new dietary guidelines are a foundation, not a finish line. Use them as a starting point: focus on food quality, reduce ultra-processed foods, prioritize protein, and personalize your choices based on how your body responds.

Muscle Is the Key to Longevity (Not Fat Loss) | Dr. Gabrielle Lyon
14 januari 2026 · 1 uur 25 min
Longevity isn’t just about what you eat or how you train—it’s really more about whether you believe your body is worth investing in. Lees meer
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m joined by my longtime friend and colleague Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to explore why muscle may be one of the most overlooked drivers of long-term health. We focus on practical, accessible ways to build strength as you age, and why muscle plays a much bigger role in your health than most people realize.
We explore:
• How strength training supports your blood sugar and metabolic health, beyond what the scale can show
• Why muscle quality—not weight—is a stronger predictor of long-term health
• How building strength helps you stay mobile, capable, and resilient as you age
• What most people miss about protein and muscle health
Aging well is something you can actively support, starting with how you care for your body today. And strength is one of the most powerful places you can begin.

Office Hours: How to Choose the Best Diet for Your Body
12 januari 2026 · 34 min
What Should I Actually Eat?
Diet confusion is everywhere. But the truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all diet. The best diet is the one that works for your biology. In this Office Hours episode, I answer your most common diet questions and break down the core principles everyone should understand before choosing how to eat. Lees meerIn this episode I break down:
• Why the “best diet” is personalized—and why ideology should never override biology
• The universal principles everyone should follow, regardless of diet
• Why ultra-processed foods—not carbs, fat, or protein—are the real problem
• How blood sugar dysregulation drives chronic disease, including mental health issues
• Keto, paleo, vegan, and Mediterranean: who they help, common mistakes, and what to watch for
• How to tell if your diet is working—using symptoms, energy, digestion, mood, and labsYour body is the smartest doctor in the room. The key is learning how to listen.

Why Mental Illness Is a Metabolic Problem—and What That Means for Your Health | Dr. Chris Palmer
7 januari 2026 · 1 uur 4 min
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m rejoined by psychiatrist and Harvard professor Dr. Chris Palmer for a conversation that challenges how we’ve been taught to think about mental illness. Lees meer
For decades, psychiatry has focused on managing symptoms—often without asking what’s actually driving them. We discuss a different way of understanding mental health, one that looks beyond diagnostic labels and considers how whole-body biology influences brain function, resilience, and recovery.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
In this conversation, we explore:
• Why mental illness is rising alongside obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases
• How whole-body biology influences mood, focus, and emotional resilience
• The link between inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and conditions like depression and bipolar disorder
• How nutrition, testing, and lifestyle changes can support real recovery
If mental health has ever felt close to home for you or someone you care about, this conversation is meant to offer clarity, compassion, and a place to start.
This episode was recorded live at the Eudēmonia Summit, a conference exploring the future of health, longevity, and well-being. Learn more at eudemonia.net.

Office Hours: What Happens to Your Body When You Stop Drinking for 30 Days
5 januari 2026 · 23 min
Most of us don’t realize how much alcohol affects our bodies until we take a break. In this first episode of Office Hours, I break down what really happens when you give up alcohol for 30 days. Alcohol impacts nearly every system—from your brain and hormones to your gut, liver, and immune system—but the good news is your body begins repairing itself far faster than most people expect. Lees meer
I discuss:
• What alcohol really is—and why the “buzz” is actually your brain slowing down
• How alcohol affects neurotransmitters like GABA, dopamine, and glutamate
• Why even moderate drinking disrupts sleep, mood, hormones, and metabolism
• How alcohol impacts the liver, gut microbiome, immune system, and cancer risk
• Why hangovers feel like the flu—and what’s actually happening in your body
• What happens when you stop drinking, week by week, from detox to deep repair
• The surprising benefits to energy, focus, skin, sleep, and emotional resilience
• Practical tools to manage cravings, social pressure, and sleep disruption
• Why community support makes behavior change easier and more sustainable
Your body has an incredible ability to heal and often, it just needs you to take your foot off the gas. Try it for 30 days. You may be amazed by how different you feel.
If you want extra support, join us for the Hive January Challenge, where we’ll guide you through the process, track progress, and share experiences together.

Are You Nutrient Deficient? The Hidden Factors of Accelerated Aging | Rhonda Patrick - ENCORE
31 december 2025 · 1 uur 29 min
This week, in another holiday edition of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m highlighting a conversation with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a leading expert in nutritional science and aging — a discussion that still feels incredibly important today. We dig into how hidden micronutrient deficiencies can influence metabolism, mood, longevity, and long-term health. Here’s to supporting our health in the year ahead. Lees meer
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why vitamin D is essential for longevity, immune health, and mood
• How magnesium influences metabolism, blood sugar, and brain function
• Why even “healthy” diets can leave us undernourished
• What it takes to test and personalize your micronutrient intake
Better aging starts by giving your cells what they’re missing. When your body has the right nutrients, it can repair, renew, and thrive at any stage of life.
Here’s to a healthy start to the new year — I’m excited for what we’ll explore together.

As we wind down for the holiday season, we’ll be taking a short break. But I didn’t want to leave you without something meaningful to explore. So for today’s Monday episode, we’re revisiting one of our most powerful deep-dive topics of 2025.Thank you for being part of this community.

In today’s episode, we feature four segments about hitting the reset button on our diet and lifestyle choices and establishing new behaviors for our overall wellbeing.
We all get off track sometimes. Life gets busy, we indulge a little too much during the holidays, or we ignore the messages our body is sending us to sleep more and eat better. This can leave us feeling super sluggish, run-down, or unable to think clearly. This is what I call FLC syndrome? It’s when you feel like crap!

6 Simple Rules for a Long, Healthy Life w/ Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel
17 december 2025 · 1 uur 24 min
Wellness can feel complicated, but most of what matters for long, healthy living is surprisingly simple. Lees meer
In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with my longtime friend Dr. Ezekiel “Zeke” Emanuel—oncologist, bioethicist, and author of Eat Your Ice Cream—to explore six core principles that support longevity, from food and movement to social connection and purpose. Zeke shares what we’re getting wrong about wellness, why community matters more than we think, and how small choices can reshape both our health and our healthcare system. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
We discuss:
• Why simple habits outperform extreme biohacks—and how to build them into daily life
• How social connection protects your health as powerfully as diet and exercise
• What to eat for longevity without tracking, restricting, or following trends
• How movement, strength, and flexibility each support long-term health and function
• What actually improves sleep when you can’t “try harder” to rest
Longevity isn’t about obsession. It’s about balance, community, and simple choices. The basics still work, and they matter more than ever.

The 5 Pillars That Will Transform Your Health In 2026
15 december 2025 · 1 uur 9 min
Ready to feel better than you ever have? Here are five ways to your best health in 2026—simple shifts that work faster than most people realize: food as medicine, restorative sleep, stress mastery, daily movement, and periodic detox resets. Eating real, whole foods sends powerful healing signals to your gut, hormones, and genes, while avoiding processed foods removes the biggest drivers of inflammation. Quality sleep and stress-lowering practices help rebalance cortisol so you can think clearly, feel calmer, and have steady energy throughout the day. Moving your body strengthens your metabolism, protects your brain, and keeps you functional as you age. And short detox periods that remove sugar and processed foods while adding nutrient-dense meals can reboot your entire system and show you just how good “normal” is supposed to feel. When you bring these five pillars together you create momentum that touches every part of your life. Lees meer
In this episode, I highlight how five simple foundations—food, sleep, stress management, movement, and detox—can completely transform your health, showing that you have far more power to heal and thrive than you’ve ever been told.

How Community Shapes Your Mind, Body, and Well-Being
8 december 2025 · 48 min
Imagine a small town where neighbors gather for every celebration, and people stay remarkably healthy simply because they’re deeply connected. Research shows that meaningful relationships—not achievement, diet, or even exercise—are the strongest predictor of long-term health and happiness, while loneliness can be as harmful as smoking two packs a day. Our social bonds influence gene expression, lowering stress and inflammation and activating the body’s natural healing pathways. By prioritizing kindness, investing in uplifting relationships, and creating simple moments of togetherness, we tap into one of the most powerful longevity tools we have. And the hopeful truth is that building just a few authentic connections can change your life in profound, measurable ways. Lees meer
In this episode, I discuss, along with Radha Agrawal and Jeff Rosenthal, why deep, authentic connection is one of the most powerful determinants of our physical health, happiness, and longevity.
Radha Agrawal is the co-founder, CEO, and Chief Community Architect of Daybreaker, the early-morning dance and wellness movement. Daybreaker currently holds events in 25 cities and more than a dozen college campuses around the world and has a community of almost half a million people. She is also the author of a new book called Belong: Find Your People, Create Community, and Live a More Connected Life.
Jeff is the Co-Founder of Summit, a cutting-edge organization best known for hosting global ideas, festivals and events, and is the co-owner, principal designer, and developer of Summit Powder Mountain and Powder Mountain ski resort in Eden, Utah. He’s the co-author of Make No Small Plans: Lessons on Thinking Big, Chasing Dreams, and Building Community.

Uncovering the Roots of Exhaustion—and How to Feel Like Yourself Again
1 december 2025 · 56 min
Many people experience a deep, lingering fatigue that isn’t fixed by a full night’s sleep, and it often stems from real imbalances inside the body. When mitochondria—the tiny engines that power our cells—are stressed by poor diet, toxins, infections, or lack of rest, the whole system can slow down. Ongoing stress can also disrupt the adrenal system, leaving some people feeling wired and anxious while others feel drained from morning to night. The encouraging news is that steady habits like nourishing whole foods, balanced blood sugar, restorative sleep, and gentle movement can help the body find its rhythm again. With the right support, energy often returns, and a sense of hope does, too. Lees meer
In this episode, I dive into, along with Dr. Izabella Wentz and Dr. Elizabeth Boham, the real roots of chronic fatigue, showing how stress, lifestyle, and hidden imbalances drain our energy—and how practical, nourishing habits can help restore it.

Stop Blaming Salt: Fixing High Blood Pressure by Treating the Root Cause
24 november 2025 · 59 min
Most people think high blood pressure is just about “bad pipes,” but it’s really a whole–body problem driven by inflammation, insulin resistance, and years of eating sugary, processed foods. Hidden problems like sleep apnea, belly fat, toxins, and not getting enough key nutrients slowly damage your blood vessels and raise the risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and memory loss. Instead of simply pushing the numbers down with medication, the Functional Medicine approach looks for the real “why” behind high blood pressure in each person—food choices, sleep, stress, genetics, environment, and more. By rebuilding health with real food and targeted nutrients, better sleep, movement, and stress relief, many of these root causes can be reversed or improved. The message is clear: high blood pressure isn’t destiny, and with the right changes, the body often has a powerful ability to heal. Lees meer
In this episode, I speak about, along with Dr. George Papanicolaou and Dr. Cindy Geyer, how high blood pressure is largely driven by inflammation and lifestyle factors, but with some foundational changes it can be reversed.
Dr. George Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital. Over time as the healthcare system made it harder for patients to receive personal care, Dr. Papanicolaou decided a change was needed. He began training in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. In 2015, he established Cornerstone Personal Health—a practice dedicated entirely to Functional Medicine. In August 2017, Dr. Papanicolaou joined The UltraWellness Center.
Dr. Cindy Geyer received her bachelor of science and her doctor of medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed residency in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y. and is triple board certified in internal medicine, integrative medicine and lifestyle…

The Future of Medicine Is Energy: Dr. Martin Picard Explains
19 november 2025 · 1 uur 49 min
I’ve seen so many patients struggle with fatigue, brain fog, and burnout, and this conversation gave me a new way of thinking about why that happens and how to approach it. Lees meer
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m joined by Dr. Martin Picard, a Columbia scientist studying how energy flows through the body, and what that flow means for how we think, feel, and age. We touch on a simple idea that could reframe the way you understand your own energy, and how your daily choices influence it over time. Catch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
We uncover:
• Why your energy can feel “off” even when labs look normal
• What mitochondria communicate beyond just ATP production
• How stress, recovery, and sleep shift your cellular energy capacity
• Why individuality matters more than group averages in real life health outcomes
• The simple daily choices that build or drain metabolic resilience over timeAt the end of the day, energy is the foundation of how we show up in our lives, and we can influence it more than we think.
