The world is experiencing a mental health crisis like never before.

We live in a time with more money, medical interventions, and knowledge than ever before—so why are we getting sicker? While this might seem depressing, there are actually many exciting discoveries changing the future of wellness, like our increased understanding of the microbiome and how it interacts with the brain. 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

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.

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.

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.

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)

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Are you, or someone you know, thinking about starting a family now or in the near future? 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)

There are several different schools of thought behind obesity and metabolic dysfunction, for example, the energy balance model or “calories-in, calories-out” perspective that many people have felt fooled by. While calories certainly are one piece, there is much more to the puzzle of weight management and metabolic health, like hormonal cascades and oxidative stress.

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? (7:24)
• The surprising truth: All models of energy intake are a little right and a little wrong (9:20)
• Proven methods for reducing insulin to support weight loss (29:39)
• What are obesogens and how are they hijacking our metabolic health? (32:00)
• Reactive oxygen species and aging (and how to reduce them) (38:05)
• Why glucose and insulin monitoring are powerful levers for metabolic health (42:15)
• Summing up the facts and our beliefs around calories and weight (47:00)
• The cellular impact of oxidative stress and chronic stress (54:00)
• Monch Monch: a new fiber solution for absorbing simple sugars and preventing glucose spikes as well as increasing satiety and boosting microbial diversity (1:02:20)
• Food addiction in adults and children and addressing the root cause (1:10:45)
• What actions can we take based on scientific advances to make our lives better? (1:24:15)
• Why any food that feeds the gut, protects the liver, and supports the brain is a healthy food (1:33:35)
• Perfact and how to use it to understand what is metabolically healthy at your exact grocery store (1:40:20)

An estimated 85% of women experience symptoms of menopause that vary from hot flashes to weight gain, brain fog, low mood, sex drive, chronic fatigue, and more. 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. She joined The Ultrawellness Center in 2021 after practicing and serving as the medical director at Canyon Ranch for 23 years.

The trio of alcohol, caffeine, and sugar are often the centerpiece of social engagements and times of emotional distress. While consuming them from time to time may be okay, overindulging in them can be a recipe for a disaster, leading to inflammation, insulin resistance, disrupted sleep, and more.

It's easy to overlook the connection between what we eat and how we feel, but in a country where more than 1 in 5 adults are battling mental illness, suicide is on the rise, especially in children, and drug overdoses are at an all-time high, we need to stop and ask why? 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.

The foods many of us eat every day, like breads and grains, may have an effect on our health in ways we may not even be aware of.

In this episode of my Health Bites series, I explore the root causes of erectile dysfunction, delving into the limitations of conventional medicine, the little blue pill, and how we can utilize the power of Functional Medicine by making changes to our diet, lifestyle, and even trying things like supplements, peptides, and hormone therapy.

Muscle mass is essential for maintaining a healthy weight, but it is also a key factor in metabolic health, reducing the risk of chronic disease, and in improving our healthspan and longevity. While muscle requires consuming the right amount of protein for your body, weight-bearing exercises, as a part of strength training routine, are also an important ingredient for building skeletal muscle.

In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, Dr. Sara Gottfried, and Dr. Todd LePine about the many benefits of muscle and why strength training is non-negotiable.

Today, we're zooming in on a groundbreaking study that comes from Stanford University and was recently published in JAMA Network Open. The researchers put a vegan diet head-to-head with an omnivorous diet in twenty-two pairs of identical twins. The buzz around this study has been immense, sparking conversations everywhere—from social media to professional circles. Adding to the excitement, this research forms the basis of a new Netflix documentary called "You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment." 

In this episode of my Health Bites series, I discuss the many conflicts of interest, funding sources, and hidden agendas that were not fully disclosed but could have had a major hand in clouding the study's conclusions and real-world applications. We’ll also get into the Netflix docuseries itself—what they got right vs. what they got wrong, as well as the Functional Medicine approach to diet and how we can feed our bodies to create health while taking care of the planet in a healthy, sustainable, and ethical way.

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. They are critical to our long-term health. But even if you’re eating the right things, you may need outside assistance to maintain plentiful and diverse gut bacteria.

In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Steven Gundry, Dr. Mark Pimentel, Dr. Uma Naidoo, and Dr. Zach Bush about the importance of the microbiome and why it should be considered in any disease treatment plan.

Heart disease is the world's leading cause of death. For years, the diet-heart hypothesis, which centers on high cholesterol as the primary culprit, has dominated the medical discourse. But now, we're beginning to appreciate the complexity and nuance of how the outer workings of our environment influence the inner workings of our physiology and risk for heart disease.

In today’s episode of a new series I’m calling Know Your Numbers, I deep dive into the Functional Medicine approach to assessing cardiovascular risk and why this is key to preventing and, in some cases, reversing cardiovascular disease.

You can test your cardiovascular risk with Function Health, a company I co-founded. It has been a lifelong dream for me.

We are getting sicker every day from cheap, addictive junk food. The food industry approaches food as “engineering projects,” with the end goal of creating “heavy users”—a disturbing internal term used by food manufacturers that helps them make as much money as possible at the expense of public health. It’s time we take a look at the intentional manipulation of our taste buds and the politics that support these practices.

In today’s episode, I talk with Michael Moss, Dhru Purohit, Calley Means, and Nina Teicholz about the formula to get you addicted to junk food and the money spent to influence you to buy more.

In today’s episode, I talk with Ken Cook, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, and Maggie Ward about toxin exposures all around us and how to remove toxins from our bodies.

Ken Cook is the president and co-founder of the Environmental Working Group (EWG). He is widely recognized as one of the environmental community’s most prominent and influential critics of industrial agriculture and the nation’s broken approach to protecting families and children from toxic substances. Under Cook’s leadership, the EWG has pioneered the use of digital technologies to empower American families with easy-to-use, science-driven tools to help reduce their exposure to potentially harmful ingredients in food, drinking water, cosmetics, and other household products. Capitol Hill’s closely read newspaper The Hill regularly lists Cook in its annual roster of Washington’s top lobbyists, writing that Cook’s “influence spans the country” and calling EWG “the tip of the green movement’s spear.”

Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing.

Maggie Ward, MS, RD, LDN, is the Nutrition Director at The UltraWellness Center. Maggie holds a master’s degree in Nutrition from Bastyr University which focuses on using whole foods for holistic Nutrition Therapy. In addition, she completed her requirements to become a registered dietitian at Westchester Medical Center in NY. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center team in 2008, Maggie worked at The Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York providing nutrition counseling to children and families dealing with HIV. She also taught at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan and other sites throughout New York City, teaching nutritionally focused cooking classes for children and adults. Much of her focus is on food allergies, digestive disorders, inflammatory conditions, pediatrics, and sports nutrition.

Magnesium is a critical mineral that is responsible for more than 600 enzyme reactions in the body, yet most people are not getting enough of it. 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. Function is the first-ever membership that includes 100+ lab tests and personalized insights from globally renowned doctors based on your results. Join Function at FunctionHealth.com.
