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 In an era where our food system fuels disease and outdated healthcare models fail to address root causes, Dr.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.

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

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.

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.

Early Detection Saved Me: Maria Menounos on Becoming the CEO of Your Health

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.

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.

Izabella Wentz is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of three books on Hashimoto’s: Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, Hashimoto’s Food Pharmacology, and Hashimoto’s Protocol, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller.

Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women’s Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine.

Uncovering the Roots of Exhaustion—and How to Feel Like Yourself Again

When relationships feel chaotic, it’s usually not just about the moment—it’s old patterns running the show.

In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with Jillian Turecki, relationship expert and bestselling author of It Begins With YOU, about why love can feel so hard and how to finally feel safe. Jillian opens up about her own heartbreak, loss, and transformation, and shares what she’s learned about healing old wounds and building relationships that feel secure, balanced, and real. Watch our full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

We discuss:

• How to regulate your emotions and stay connected during conflict

• The difference between past wounds and present triggers

• Science-backed tools you can use to build emotional safety and trust

• Why generosity, curiosity, and respect create lasting intimacy

• How to choose a healthy partner and stop repeating old patterns

Lasting love gets easier when you calm your body, challenge old stories, practice repair, and try to choose wisely from the start.

Why Love Feels So Hard — And How to Finally Feel Safe in Your Relationships (with Jillian Turecki)

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.

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 medicine.

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.

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 time

At 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.

The Future of Medicine Is Energy: Dr. Martin Picard Explains

What if changing what kids eat at school could transform their behavior, boost learning, and even save lives? Studies show that when kids swap junk food for real, nourishing meals, behavior problems drop, focus improves, and learning soars—with one study finding a 100% reduction in suicides among youth simply by changing their diet. Across the country, schools are proving that scratch-cooked, colorful meals made from whole ingredients can fit tight budgets, reduce waste, and make kids excited to eat. By putting nutritious food at the center of education, we can help raise a generation that’s healthier, happier, and ready to learn.

In this episode, Jill Shah, Sam Kass, Kimbal Musk, and I talk about the powerful connection between nutrition and education, showing that healthy school meals can transform not just kids’ diets but their futures.

Jill Shah is the President of the Shah Family Foundation, which drives innovative work at the intersection of education, healthcare, and community in Boston. Her leadership focuses on improving access to healthy school food, supporting neighborhood food equity, and fostering collaboration between schools and healthcare to strengthen children’s physical, emotional, and social well-being. Before launching the foundation, Jill was a successful entrepreneur involved in several internet startups, including iXL, RxCentric, and Mercator Software, and later founded Jill’s List, which she sold to MINDBODY in 2013. A graduate of Providence College, she now serves on the boards of the Red Sox Foundation, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the Museum of Fine Arts, Belmont Hill School, and the Winsor School. Jill’s commitment to community innovation has earned her honors such as the Boston Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Bostonian Award and the Playworks Game Changer Award.

Sam Kass was senior policy advisor for nutrition policy in the Obama Administration and is currently an investor in several food technology start-ups. One of Michelle Obama's longest-serving advisors, Sam was the executive director of her Let's Move initiative and helped create the first major vegetable garden at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt's Victory Garden. He is a graduate of the University of Chicago and was trained by one of Austria's greatest chefs, Christian Domschitz.

Kimbal Musk is the co-founder of The Kitchen, an American bistro with restaurant locations in Boulder, Denver, Chicago, and soon Austin. Now marking its twentieth anniversary, The Kitchen serves thoughtfully sourced, Seasonal American Shared Plates with global influences. Musk is also the co-founder of Big Green, a philanthropic organization devoted to getting every American growing food. His personal mission is to empower and invest in the next generation who are building a healthier, happier future. The Wall Street Journal has called him a "cheerful crusader for real food," and The Guardian has lauded how he “takes the tech entrepreneur ethos and applies it to food.” Musk has been named a Global Social Entrepreneur by the World Economic Forum. Musk currently sits on the board of Tesla Inc. and formerly served on the board of Chipotle Mexican Grill and SpaceX.
