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) This episode is brought to you by AG1 and Rupa Health.

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.

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.

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?

Typically, the focus on reproductive health falls on the woman, and it begins after conception has already occurred, with minimal emphasis on diet and nutrition beyond prenatal vitamins.  However, the pre-conception window is a foundational time for both partners to take charge of their hormonal, metabolic, and overall health to ensure the healthiest sperm and egg possible for a healthy pregnancy and, most importantly, a healthy baby.  In today's episode, we're discussing the essential steps both men and women can take to foster a nurturing environment for conception. We'll delve into lab tests and tools to support hormone and reproductive wellness, the challenges and insults of our modern-day lifestyles, and how we can use Functional Medicine to take a proactive approach by embracing diet, supplements, and exercise to prime couples for a successful pregnancy while safeguarding against developmental conditions like autism and ADHD that are doubling, or even tripling from one generation to the next.  Whether you're just starting to think about having kids or already on your pregnancy path, this conversation is for you.  In this episode I discuss:  The importance of the preconception window (3:15)(5:05) How epigenetics impact the preconception window (3:58)(6:01) How parent?s diet and lifestyle imprint their children?s epigenome (5:03)(6:59) Limitations of Conventional Medicine during the preconception window (9:30)(11:26) The Functional Medicine approach to preparing to conceive (12:12) Breakdown of essential nutrients and biomarkers to ensure a healthy pregnancy (15:27) Sex hormone and bonus lab tests (21:00) Optimizing blood sugar and cardiometabolic health before and during pregnancy (22:40) Foods to eat and foods to avoid while gearing up for pregnancy (23:44) Eat your foods in the correct order (protein and fat first, then carbs (36:28) Tips for reducing exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (38:14) The power of exercise, stress, and sleep for a healthy pregnancy (47:24) Supplement recommendations for men and women for the preconception window (51:35) This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and AG1.

My guest today is Dr. Robert Lustig, an author and neuroendocrinologist with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He has dedicated his retirement from clinical medicine to help fix the food supply in any way he can, to reduce human suffering, and to promote a collective vision of metabolic health: protect the liver, feed the gut, support the brain.  In this episode we discuss: Is a calorie really just a calorie?

Recognizing menopause as a gradual, uniquely personal transition rather than an abrupt change is crucial. This insight can help empower women to take proactive, supportive measures early on, ensuring a smoother journey through this natural phase of life. Today, Dr. Cindy Geyer from the UltraWellness Center joins me as we unravel the Functional Medicine perspective and approach to menopause. Our conversation highlights the crucial role of lab testing in uncovering the root causes of symptoms, paving the way for tailored nutrition and lifestyle interventions. Moreover, we critically examine the limitations of traditional medical approaches and discuss the nuances of hormone replacement therapy, the different forms, and who may benefit the most from this treatment. 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.

Why are we witnessing such unprecedented rates of mental illness? The answer lies not only in our modern-day, high-paced, stressful environment but at the end of our forks.  In this episode of my Health Bites series, I discuss why our brains are so broken, the root causes driving neuroinflammation, and how this drives disconnection between our prefrontal cortex (the adult in the room) and amygdala (our reactive, child-like brain), causing our anxiety and emotions to take over. We?ll also discuss the research clearly showing how our toxic SAD is a key driver of our mental health crisis and how you can eat (and supplement) your way out of many mental health issues.  This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Happy Egg.

The researchers put a vegan diet head-to-head with an omnivorous diet in twenty-two pairs of identical twins.

Magnesium is critical for your cells to make energy, for many different chemical pumps to work, to stabilize membranes, and to help muscles relax. Essentially, anything that is tight, irritable, crampy, or stiff?whether it is a body part or even a mood?can be a sign of low levels of magnesium, and magnesium deficiency has even been linked to inflammation in the body and higher CRP levels.  In today?s episode of a new series I?m calling Know Your Numbers, I dive deep into magnesium. I discuss why millions of people suffer with undetected magnesium deficiency, how conventional medicine misses the mark in measuring magnesium levels, how Functional Medicine treats magnesium deficiency, and much more. You can test your magnesium levels with Function Health, a company I co-founded. It has been a lifelong dream for me.
