The Dr. Hyman Show

This episode is brought to you by Mitopure and Levels.   Skin problems like acne, psoriasis, and eczema are often treated with over-the-counter lotions, creams, and potions or even with antibiotics. But while these options may reduce symptoms temporarily, they don't get to the root cause of the problem. In Functional Medicine, we dig deep to determine the underlying cause of skin issues, which oft...

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and InsideTracker. ​​What you eat literally controls almost every function of your body and mind. Food connects us to one another and to our bodies. At the same time, what we eat is only one “ingredient” needed to make a healthy human. We need real, whole, fresh food, but we also need things like movement, connection, meaning, and pur...

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and ButcherBox.   Experiencing feelings of grief is a natural part of the human experience. While it can be difficult to sit with hard feelings such as grief, avoiding our emotions only makes them louder. Through practice, we can learn to accept our feelings in the moment. We can work to break the pattern of being at war with the present moment and...

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Cozy Earth, and InsideTracker. Our bodies are literally made out of the food we eat. So ask yourself, do you want to be a twinkie or a raspberry? Real, whole foods contain information in the form of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, protein, phytonutrients, and fiber. These compounds impact every node of the Functional Medicine matrix, like ou...

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Paleovalley, and Vuori. Losing our memories and the things that define us is one of the scariest things someone can face.

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and Rupa Health. Psychedelics have gotten a bad rap. Often associated with the small period of time they became popular in the 1960s, they were researched in clinical, cultural, and spiritual contexts for many decades prior to that. Now we are seeing an uptick in the interest of drugs like this, which include compounds like psilocybin from certain...

This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Athletic Greens. Hormones are like a symphony, with each one acting as a specialized instrument to keep our bodies in tune. But as we age, those instruments start to get a little rusty. Small changes over time create a variety of imbalances, until one day we wake up realizing we’re flat and out of tune. This leads to things like menopausal sympto...

This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox, Rupa Health, and InsideTracker. Cancer is a topic that scares just as many people as it directly impacts, which is nearly everyone. While the conventional medicine approach to treating the disease is very important and lifesaving, Functional Medicine takes a slightly different approach. In Functional Medicine, we look below the surface to identify what...

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and Paleovalley.   Our current food system is not working. Food waste is at an all-time high, food deserts exist in many neighborhoods, and our produce is falling short in flavor and nutrients. The good news is that innovators in various fields are implementing ideas that promote better access to fresh, nutritious, and tastier food for everyone.  ...

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Cozy Earth, and Rupa Health. Insulin resistance is a main driver of cardiovascular disease that we don’t hear enough about.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and Pendulum. Aging shouldn’t be something we dread; it should be something we celebrate. Yet, as a society, we are sicker than ever. We are so fixated on keeping people alive longer, but what about keeping people healthier? This is the difference between healthspan and life span. Your life span is how long you live. Your healthspan is...

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and Rupa Health.   We are living in an epidemic of chronic disease that is destroying our health, our communities, and our economy. The common denominator between all of these things is food, or more specifically, our food system. The way our food is grown, transported, processed, and consumed is making us sick and driving health disparities relate...

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and HigherDOSE. Eighty-eight percent of people are metabolically unhealthy, and since the 1920s we’ve shamed them into believing it’s their fault—that they should just eat fewer calories and exercise more.  But the real culprit is sugar and the processed foods that contain it. The majority of foods on our market shelves contain insane a...

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and ButcherBox.   For so long, we’ve been told that memory loss and dementia are just normal parts of aging. We now know it doesn’t have to be that way, and that there are many measures we can proactively take to avoid cognitive decline as we age. Emerging research is helping us look at new ways to treat and even prevent devastating neurological di...

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and Rupa Health.   Many of us are living our lives out of balance and are stressed from the time we wake up until the time our heads hit the pillow. The problem is that chronic stress causes inflammation and is behind many of the health conditions that affect men specifically. Stress can drive low testosterone, for instance, which is a common probl...

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, InsideTracker, and Cozy Earth.   Many of us will try anything to get away from hard feelings. Food, shopping, alcohol, screens… There is an endless list of distractions and addictions we use to try to avoid our emotions. But the key word here is “try,” and as much as we might resist the tough feelings, it never really works. Today, I’m thrilled to ta...
