This dynamic has profound implications for mental health, reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, and even supporting positive behavior in our children. I’m excited to talk to board-certified internal medicine physician, bestselling author, and published researcher Dr. Austin Perlmutter about all this and more on this episode of the podcast. 

We explore:

• Why don’t we try to prevent brain dysfunction the same way we do cardiovascular disease and other illnesses?
• Neuroinflammation and how to modulate it to improve mood, behavior, and neurodegenerative diseases
• Having an “adult in the room” versus our lizard brain
• The inundation of Big Food and Big Pharma marketing we’re up against
• Psychobiotics: The future of probiotics for brain health 

I know you’ll love this conversation as much as I did. I hope you’ll tune in wherever you listen to podcasts!

Lifestyle and dietary factors are widely accepted as key drivers of disease among cardiologists, oncologists, and endocrinologists, however the impact of diet and lifestyle on our brain health still remains largely on the margins. And, while there are certainly other factors, creating healthy daily habits can make a significant difference.

In this episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Marwan Sabbagh, Dr. Richard Isaacson, and Dr. Jay Lombard about the role of genetics in brain disorders, lifestyle habits you can start right now to reduce your risk or reverse symptoms, and why we need to look at bacteria as a cause of neurodegenerative disease.

There’s a common misconception that getting older means getting weaker, but what if you could improve your fitness level at any age? The truth is, you can. 

In today’s Health Bites episode, I’m joined by my dear friend and colleague, Dr. George Papanicolaou, a highly sought-after Functional Medicine practitioner on my team at the Ultra Wellness Center. Together, we explore the incredible benefits of exercise—a free, universally accessible powerhouse drug—from a functional medicine perspective. 

We discuss the crucial, often-overlooked aspects of fitness for enhancing longevity, such as VO2 max, how to optimize our levels, and the role our mitochondria play. We also dive into the importance of resistance training and nutrition for enhancing body composition, strength, and muscle mass, vital for metabolic health, recovery from illness, and so much more.

If you’re looking to leverage your exercise routine to enhance your overall health and quality of life, no matter your age, this episode is for you.

One of the many reasons I was drawn to Functional Medicine is that it’s the medicine of asking “why?” and looking beyond the status quo to reimagine health. When we use this practice to assess the metabolic diseases we see today, we can see we’re in an energy crisis. We’re wrapped up in a web of physiologic root causes, but also a web of policies, industries, and economic incentives impacting our health from the ground up. I loved discussing all this and more on this episode of the podcast with Dr. Casey Means. 

We take a deep dive into:

• Why we need to reimagine the healthcare system and how to use Functional Medicine as a framework for asking “why?”
• Using metabolic health as a barometer for our challenges as a society 
• A stark reality: Every institution related to our health makes money off of sickness
• Combining advanced technology with our own awareness to take back control of our health
• Five affordable biomarkers of metabolic syndrome to start with 
• And so much more!

I hope you’ll tune in to learn how to dramatically improve your metabolic health and support foundational societal shifts, all at once.

Our brain has the ability to adapt, change, and grow new neurons through a concept known as neuroplasticity. Compounds in psychedelics are finally being recognized as powerful tools to change the wiring of the brain which means we’re not doomed to become a statistic and lose our minds as we get older or carry destructive trauma in our bodies for the rest of our lives. 

In this episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Andrew Huberman, Dr. Sara Gottfried, and Paul Stamets about what exactly neuroplasticity is and how psychedelics like ketamine and psilocybin may be a helpful treatment for depression, trauma, addiction, and more.

Carrying excess weight around your midsection can be frustrating, especially if you maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Yet, millions of people worldwide struggle with their weight, 

It is crucial to understand that belly fat is more than just a layer under your clothes. It is an active endocrine organ that secretes pro-inflammatory cytokines throughout the body, contributing to our risk for chronic diseases.

It's important to recognize that this is not a reflection of personal failure. Our modern-day lifestyles are overloaded with stress, environmental toxins, and convenience foods that actively work against us. In today’s episode, we will explore visceral fat (a.k.a. belly fat), the factors that contribute to it, and how to address it using the principles of Functional Medicine effectively.

In this episode, I dive into:

• Understanding belly fat and obesity (2:51) 
• The role of diet and lifestyle in the accumulation of belly fat (10:48) 
• The impact of sleep, alcohol, and stress on weight gain (19:14) 
• What are obesogens, and how do they make us gain weight? (21:44)
• Health risks associated with visceral fat and belly fat (23:05) 
• Where does conventional medicine miss the mark? (24:14)
• Functional medicine's approach to assessing and addressing visceral fat (26:38) 
• Dietary and lifestyle changes to reduce visceral fat (30:52)

A declining mind is one of the scariest things we can imagine. Yet, many of us walk around every day with brain fog, which is a clue that our brains (and our bodies) need some support. Left unchecked, there can be long-term consequences, and not just for your brain. The good news is that changes to diet, reducing toxic burden and stress, improving sleep and gut health, and getting good movement can work wonders to clear up any fogginess.

In this episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Todd LePine and Max Lugavere about the Functional Medicine approach to reducing brain fog.

Excess sugar consumption is one of the deadliest drugs of our time, and it’s virtually ubiquitous in our modern-day industrialized food system. Everywhere you turn, there’s sugar—from blended coffees to protein bars, drinks, dressings, snacks, and everything in between. Even seemingly “healthy” packaged foods often contain heaps of added sugar, and its impact has proven catastrophic for our mental and metabolic health.

As the other white powder, sugar hijacks our brain chemistry, making us addicted, inflamed, sick, and depressed. But the good news is that most of the health issues that arise from eating too much sugar can be completely reversed in as little as 14 days.

In today’s Health Bites episode, we’re exploring the research connecting sugar addiction to poor mental health and what you can do to clean up the excess sugar to reclaim your health and feel better, and more energized.

In this episode, I discuss:

• The prevalence of sugar in our diet and its impact on mental health (2:00)
• Hidden sources of sugar in our diets (7:27)
• How sugar affects our mood and brain function (11:42)
• How insulin resistance leads to systemic inflammation and changes in mood (16:16)
• Strategies to reduce sugar intake for better mental health (20:41)
• The role of supplements, exercise, stress, and sleep in blood sugar management (26:40)

Each bite of food we eat has the potential to modulate our genetics and impact every cell of the body—don’t you want those levers to be moving in the right direction? Eating for health is one thing, but eating to beat disease is an even more intentional step toward prevention and longevity. I was so excited to sit down with internationally renowned physician, scientist, and author Dr. William Li to discuss how we can leverage food to optimize every system of the body. 

We dig into:

• How Dr. Li got interested in “Food As Medicine” while developing cancer treatments 
• Why eating to beat disease is not the same as eating for health
• What food would Dr. Li bring with him if he was going to be stuck on an island?
• One thing Dr. Li knows everyone needs to do better
• Is dairy good or bad?
• What’s the deal with soy? 
• The 5 defense systems to support optimal health and Dr. Li’s 5 x 5 x 5 plan 

We talk about this and so much more. I know you’ll love this conversation as much as I did!

Your gut microbiome is your inner garden—the more good bugs you have in it, the more likely it is to flourish. Our gut bacteria regulate many bodily functions, from creating vitamins to controlling our immune system, brain function, and, of course, our metabolism and weight.

Food has become a more complex part of our lives than ever before. Much of what we think is food is actually many ingredients disguised as food, with entirely different, often negative impacts on the human body. Sadly, this is a greater problem here in the US than in other parts of the world, thanks to the food industry, corrupt intentions, and broken policies. Today, I talk about all this and more with my guest Jason Karp, whose personal experience of nearly going blind due to a toxic lifestyle led him to discover a different way; he made it his mission to get “back to human.”

In this episode, we discuss:

• Jason’s personal health journey and why that has prompted him to take on the campaign against Kellogg’s (7:53)
• The unhealthy state of America’s food industry (22:42)
• How Kellogg’s has one cereal formulation for Canada and another for the US that is full of chemicals (26:07)
• The correlation between food dyes and ADHD, and the failure of Kellogg's pledge (29:04)
• The political aspect of food regulation and dangers of unregulated food additives (32:55)
• Why we are in a state of metacrisis and what that means for our future (37:18)
• The bidirectional relationship between food and mental health (46:04)
• The financial burden of healthcare on the US government due to unhealthy diets (53:52)
• Supporting the Kellogg's Initiative: Sign the Petition (1:06:03)
• 
  

We have a lot to do to shift our food system and eliminate harmful ingredients in the US, but there are ways to enact positive change starting today. We can all support a cleaner food industry and better health by voting with our dollar, purchasing real food, and getting involved in policy policy changes. I hope you’ll listen to this episode to learn more.

Obesity rates are at an all-time high, even in our children, despite the common recommendation to eat less and exercise more. While calories may be one piece of the puzzle, weight is so much more nuanced than that including factors such as mother’s metabolic health during pregnancy, chemicals called obesogens, inflammation, hormones, and more.

In this episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Calley Means, and Dr. Casey Means about the obesity crisis, how we got here, and what we can do about it.

I'm turning 65 this year and feel younger, fitter, and more vibrant than ever. Thanks to my longevity routine, I’ve been able to reverse my biological age by 20 years, plus an additional year in the past five months alone!

As I grow older, I’ve learned that what’s possible when we nourish our bodies, get regular exercise, quality sleep, and manage our stress – we can effectively turn back our biological clock. Add a supplement stack and hormetic stressors to activate our longevity switches, and you’re setting a solid foundation for lasting health.

Like most things in life, when it comes to optimizing metabolic health, a nuanced perspective can help. Rather than viewing it as a black-and-white issue, we can take into consideration the big-picture social context we’re facing that encourages ultra-processed foods, obesity, and lifelong medication as well as the micro-level of what people are experiencing as individuals and understanding how to help them when all else fails. Today I’m thrilled to sit down with Dr. Tyna Moore and Calley Means for a grounded discussion that explores both sides of the spectrum, and everything in between. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The controversial discussion of GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, weighing the pros and cons of these new drugs in treating obesity and metabolic crises (3:34)
• Challenging the notion of treating obesity with drugs like Ozempic (10:35)
• An unsettling revelation about the push for using Ozempic in children (12:04)
• Digging deeper into GLP-1 research and some of the benefits (32:51)
• Why are children being born metabolically challenged? (41:11)
• Dr. Moore’s approach to using peptides with her patients and for her own crippling pain, and what they’ve seen (45:19)
• How our current healthcare system lacks policies and support for behavior change (1:27)

While there are always differing views, we know for sure that our food and drug policies aren’t serving the best interests of creating sustainable, empowered health for the masses. I hope you’ll tune in to hear more from this comprehensive and lively discussion.

In the health space, we hear the term ultra-processed foods thrown around often for its clear link to chronic diseases such as depression, Alzheimer’s, and diabesity. But what exactly does “ultra-processed” mean? How can you tell if a food is ultra-processed?

We’ll also discuss tips and tricks for how to read food labels to better navigate the grocery store, and the innovations happening in Washington to develop label laws that helps protect the consumer.

The prevalence of autism has risen a shocking 400% in the last twenty years. Increased awareness and diagnosis are one piece, but there are also so many other factors to consider.

Often, when patients have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, the treatment focus is on statins or anti-hypertensive medications. However, these are just the symptoms of poor metabolic health, which requires a closer look at the root cause and a treatment model that reflects that.

In this episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Dr. George Papanicolaou about our lifestyle choices that affect our cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and waist circumference.

Our global mental health crisis is growing at an exponential rate, with over half a billion people suffering from depression and anxiety; it’s time we rethink our understanding of the underlying root causes of mental health challenges.

From treating thousands of patients, I’ve learned that depression is not in your head. It’s in your body. More specifically, your gut. When your gut is unhealthy and inflamed, your brain is unhealthy and inflamed. In Functional Medicine, we know that the gut and the brain are intimately connected and that the health of one directly influences the health of the other. 

In today’s Health Bites episode, we’re diving into the gut-brain connection and sharing Functional Medicine tools to support your gut health and, as a result, your mood and mental health. 

In this episode, I discuss:

• Our global mental health crisis (2:45)
• The gut-brain connection (4:18)
• The story of Marks's broken brain (5:15)
• Features of the gut-brain axis (8:57)
• Gut hormones that send signals to your brain (10:06)
• Role of the gut microbiota in mood and mental health (12:24)
• How stress negatively impacts our gut microbiome (20:14)
• The link between leaky gut and poor mental health (21:41)
• The Functional Medicine approach to fixing the gut (25:56)
• The 5R Program for fixing your gut health (30:09)

Functional Medicine offers patients many things, especially hope and understanding. Autoimmune disease is a prime example: Rather than condemning patients to a lifetime of symptom management through medication, functional practitioners dig to find the “why,” to address the underlying causes with individualized, multimodal support to create lasting improvement and systemic healing. My guest today, Dr. Sara Gottfried, is a physician, researcher, author, and educator passionate about changing the way we view and treat autoimmunity. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• What is a “trauma signature” and what is its role in autoimmunity? (5:55)
• Hidden autoimmunity triggers you might be surprised to learn about (21:30)
• The go-to test panel Sara runs on her patients (27:33)
• Sara’s stack for reducing cortisol and why trauma has to be considered (39:00)
• How Trauma biologically impacts you through the PINE system (41:40)
• Psychedelic therapy and other healing states of consciousness, plus Sara’s personal experience using them (48:10)
• What Sara wishes she told her 20-year-old self about life (1:15:45)

When we dig deeper, we always find out there is more going on below the surface. I know you’ll love this conversation as much as I did.

As a whole, autoimmune disease affects over 80 million Americans and five percent of the population in Western countries. They include type 1 diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, colitis, Crohn’s disease, and dozens of others. While your body is designed to fight off harmful things like infections, toxins, allergens, or a stress response, with autoimmune issues the body directs a hostile attack on its own joints, brain, skin, and more.

In this episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Cynthia Li and Dr. Terry Wahls about their personal stories of working through autoimmunity and how it led them to help others using Functional Medicine. They also dive into the underlying triggers of inflammation such as stress, hidden infections, food allergies or sensitivities, toxic exposure, genetic predisposition, nutrient deficiencies, and leaky gut.

There’s been a lot of recent discussion around fasting, and for good reason. But one thing that often slips through the cracks is the differences between men and women, and why women need to take a specific approach to fasting that honors their hormones. You may have heard the recent buzz around fasting and a controversial headline associating it with cardiovascular death (which was not peer-reviewed, by the way). So today, I’m resharing this popular episode with holistic health expert Dr. Mindy Pelz to shed light on what we really know about the safety of fasting, and the dos and don’ts, particularly for women.

We discuss:

• Will time-restricted eating kill you? Deciphering recent headlines
• Two major issues happening for women: Understanding hormone cycles and an evolutionary mismatch 
• Mindy’s expert approach to managing hormones through fasting 
• Three rules for successfully reintroducing foods 
• Who should avoid fasting?
• Tips for women over 40 that aren’t being talked about 
• The best way to get a handle on hormone testing

Fasting can be an incredibly healing practice, but it’s got to be done the right way—especially for women! Learn how to fast while supporting hormonal balance, and so much more, in this episode with Dr. Mindy Pelz.

There’s a foundational piece of Functional Medicine that surprises many conventional health practitioners: it’s that the health of our gut impacts every other part of the body—even the brain. With 60% of our immune system residing in our gut, it is the first place to look for an imbalance when treating illness.

In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Dr. Raja Dhir about all of the insults to our gut and how to recover gut health using Functional Medicine principles.
