Dr. Mark Hyman

Welcome to The Dr. Hyman Show, the groundbreaking podcast redefining health in America and empowering you to take ownership of your health. Hosted by Dr. Mark Hyman—this show tackles the most pressing issues of our time: chronic disease, mental health, food policy and controversy, prevention and recovery, and longevity. In an era where our food system fuels disease and outdated healthcare models fail to address root causes, Dr. Hyman delivers evidence-based insights and expert interviews to help you become the CEO of your own health—something your doctor isn’t doing.
The Dr. Hyman Show goes beyond the headlines to reimagine a food and healthcare system that protects health, unburdens our economy from the weight of chronic disease, supports the environment, and secures a vibrant future for all Americans. Whether you’re looking for cutting-edge protocols to transform your health, strategies to combat the chronic disease epidemic, or deep conversations about how wellness intersects with food, politics, and the environment, this podcast is your trusted guide. Rethink disease, claim your health, and join the movement for a healthier nation—tune into The Dr. Hyman Show today!

The Doctor's Farmacy with Mark Hyman, M.D.

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. 

In 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 labs

Your body is the smartest doctor in the room. The key is learning how to listen.

Office Hours: How to Choose the Best Diet for Your Body

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.

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.

Why Mental Illness Is a Metabolic Problem—and What That Means for Your Health | Dr. Chris Palmer

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.

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.

Office Hours: What Happens to Your Body When You Stop Drinking for 30 Days

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. 

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.

Are You Nutrient Deficient? The Hidden Factors of Accelerated Aging | Rhonda Patrick - ENCORE

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. We’ll be back in the new year with brand-new episodes and I truly can’t wait to share what’s coming next.

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!

This week, in a special holiday edition of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m revisiting a powerful conversation with Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a leading cardiologist and advocate for ethical, evidence-based medicine, where we unpacked the uncomfortable truths about cholesterol, statins, and what really drives heart disease. Wishing you a peaceful holiday week. 

We unpack:

• Why LDL cholesterol isn’t the whole story when it comes to heart disease

• How reducing inflammation and insulin resistance can better protect your heart

• What statins can—and can’t—do to improve real cardiovascular outcomes

• How industry influence shapes the prescriptions patients receive

Better heart health starts with better information and real progress begins when we stop treating numbers and start treating what’s actually causing disease.

Hope you have a peaceful holiday week. I look forward to continuing this journey together in the new year.

Why Quitting Sugar Could Save Your Life - ENCORE

Wellness can feel complicated, but most of what matters for long, healthy living is surprisingly simple.

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.

6 Simple Rules for a Long, Healthy Life w/ Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel

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.

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.

Every parent wants to feed their baby well—but finding clarity in today’s system isn’t always easy.

In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Laura Modi, CEO and co-founder of Bobbie, to talk about the real challenges families face when it comes to feeding and why it so often feels overwhelming. Laura shares her personal journey, the moments that changed everything, and what she’s learned from supporting thousands of parents through this stage. Enjoy the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why shame shows up so quickly around feeding—and how to replace it with clarity and confidence

• How to navigate breastfeeding challenges without feeling like you’re “failing”

• What most parents don’t realize about formula standards, labels, and ingredient quality

• How combo feeding can ease pressure, support mental health, and support your baby’s development

• Why America’s fragile formula system matters for every family and how to stay informed 

Feeding your baby should feel empowering, not confusing. I hope this conversation helps you feel more confident as you navigate this stage.

How Laura Modi Is Rewriting Baby Formula

Stem cells are a major player in the future of medicine. They have the potential to become many other types of tissue—they are essentially like a smart-bomb that we can use to target a specific problem. But the magic doesn’t stop there. Not only can stem cells home in on damaged cells and tissues, they then send signals to those damaged cells or tissues encouraging them to heal. As someone who is always trying to improve my own health, and since I want to live to be 120, I love to seek out the latest therapies and try them myself so I can truly understand the benefits and improve my longevity.
27 years ago I had surgery for a ruptured disk and I’ve been plagued with issues from that as I’ve aged (which I know many of you can relate to); I was excited to try stem cell therapy as a treatment option for my own pain and mobility. So today on The Doctor’s Farmacy podcast, I’m going to share my conversation with the very doctors I trusted to do my own stem cell makeover. Dr. Harry Adelson, Dr. Amy Killen, and Dr. Duckworth sat down with me at Docere Clinics in Park City, Utah to talk about regenerative medicine and what stem cell therapy can do for every part of the body from joints to hair and even our sex organs.
