Your Skin’s Worst Enemy Isn't the Sun - It's Your Metabolism!
Aug 17, 2026 · 18 min
Healthy skin isn't built in your bathroom—it’s built inside your body. While most people focus on creams, collagen powders, and cosmetic treatments, the biggest drivers of wrinkles, sagging, and loss of elasticity are happening at the cellular level. In today's episode, I discuss: Why blood sugar may be aging your skin faster than the sun and the hidden process that damages collagen from the inside out The surprising connection between muscle, metabolism, and firmer, healthier-looking skin (espe…

Aug 12, 2026 · 1 hr 18 min
GLP-1 medications have changed how we treat obesity and metabolic disease. But as their use has exploded, so have questions about side effects, muscle loss, long-term use, and whether patients are receiving the support they need to use them safely. In this episode, I reconnect with metabolic health and regenerative medicine expert Dr. Tyna Moore to revisit our conversation from two years ago and examine what we’ve learned since. We discuss: How to tell when your GLP-1 dose may be too high What y…
The Truth About Weight Loss, Muscle, and Metabolism! Don't Make This Mistake
Aug 10, 2026 · 22 min
The number on your scale tells you almost nothing about your actual health. You can lose weight while becoming less healthy—or stay the same weight while dramatically improving your metabolism, reducing your risk of disease, and adding years to your life. In today's episode, I discuss: Why the scale can completely miss what's happening inside your body and the hidden health risks it can't measure The dangerous difference between muscle and visceral belly fat, and why one protects you while the o…
Can Heart Disease Be Reversed? After His Own Heart Attack, This Surgeon Changed Everything | Dr. Jeremy London
Aug 5, 2026 · 1 hr 9 min
Heart disease is still the leading cause of death worldwide. Yet many people assume it only happens to those who are older, out of shape, or obviously unhealthy. In this episode, I sit down with cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Jeremy London, whose own heart attack challenged many of the assumptions we make about heart health. We discuss why prevention isn't always as straightforward as it seems—and how understanding your personal risk can help you take a more proactive approach to your health. We cov…
The 2 Workouts That Protect Your Brain, Muscles, and Metabolism
Aug 3, 2026 · 19 min
What if one of the most powerful anti-aging tools wasn't a supplement, medication, or expensive biohack—but the way you exercise? While many people think of exercise as a way to lose weight or burn calories, its greatest benefits happen deep inside your cells. In today's episode, I discuss: The two most effective forms of exercise for healthy aging and longevity What happens inside your cells when you challenge your muscles and cardiovascular system The often-overlooked factor that can determine…
Undiagnosed Infections Are Silently Causing Chronic Disease | Dr. Richard Horowitz
Jul 29, 2026 · 1 hr 20 min
Living with chronic illness can feel like collecting diagnoses without getting real answers. Symptoms are treated one at a time, but the underlying causes can easily be missed. What if asking a different question is the first step toward feeling better? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Richard Horowitz, an internationally recognized Lyme disease expert and author of the new book Ending Chronic Illness. After caring for thousands of patients over more than four decades, he explains why many see…
Lyme Disease: The Symptoms, Tests, and Treatments Doctors Miss
Jul 27, 2026 · 27 min
What if the fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, or mysterious symptoms you've been chasing for years weren't caused by stress, aging, or burnout—but by a tick bite you never even noticed? Lyme disease is one of the most misunderstood illnesses in medicine. But Lyme is rarely just one infection—it's often part of a much bigger picture involving co-infections, immune dysfunction, inflammation, gut health, and environmental triggers. In today's episode, I walk through a functional medicine approach to…
Big Pharma's Trillion Dollar Deception on Mental Health | Joanna Moncrief
Jul 22, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min
For decades, depression has often been described as the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. But how strong is the evidence behind that idea? This episode explores one perspective on an area of medicine that continues to be actively debated and is intended to encourage thoughtful discussion—not to provide individualized medical advice. Today on The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Joanna Moncrieff to examine the science behind the serotonin theory and explore…
3pm Slump Destroying Your Focus? Here's What's Really Happening
Jul 20, 2026 · 19 min
Do you hit a wall every afternoon around 2 or 3 p.m.? If your energy disappears, your brain gets foggy, and you need caffeine or sugar just to finish the day, it isn't a lack of willpower—it's a sign that something deeper is driving your energy crash. In this episode, I explain the three biggest drivers of the afternoon slump and the simple changes that can help you maintain steady energy all day long. In today's episode, I discuss: The three hidden causes of the afternoon energy crash Why skipp…
Heart Rate Variability | Why Your Nervous System Needs This.
Jul 15, 2026 · 1 hr 8 min
We all experience stress. The real challenge isn't stress itself—it's whether we recover from it. Over time, chronic stress can quietly affect everything from inflammation and metabolism to sleep, digestion, and healthy aging. This week on The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with nervous system educator and HRV expert Salim Najjar to explore what heart rate variability (HRV) can reveal about your body's ability to recover from stress and build resilience. Together, we unpack: • How to use HRV to better u…
Too Much Histamine Is Wrecking Your Body — And Most Doctors Don't Know It
Jul 13, 2026 · 19 min
Histamine isn't just about seasonal allergies or a runny nose. It influences your brain, gut, hormones, immune system, and nervous system—and when your body can't regulate it properly, it can show up as everything from anxiety and migraines to insomnia, digestive issues, skin rashes, and brain fog. In this episode, I explain why histamine overload happens, how it relates to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and what a root-cause approach looks like for calming an overactive immune system. In…
How Brain Inflammation Drives Depression, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's
Jul 8, 2026 · 51 min
For decades, we've thought about conditions like Alzheimer's disease, depression, and Parkinson's disease as disorders of the brain. But what if that's only part of the story? Emerging science is revealing that many of the factors driving cognitive decline, mental illness, and neurodegenerative disease may begin far outside the brain itself—in our metabolism, our immune system, our gut microbiome, our hormones, and even the environment we're exposed to every day. As part of our summer series, we…
Encore: Your Nervous System Controls Your Gut, Hormones, and Weight — Here's How to Fix It
Jul 6, 2026 · 21 min
You've cleaned up your diet. You're taking the supplements. You're exercising, sleeping more, and doing everything "right." So why do you still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, or stuck? In this encore episode—one of the most impactful Office Hours conversations we've shared—I explore a question that could change the way you think about healing: What if your nervous system is the missing piece? When your body doesn't feel safe, it prioritizes survival over repair, affecting everything from you…
3 Heart Experts Reveal What Really Prevents Heart Disease
Jul 1, 2026 · 1 hr 3 min
As part of our summer series, we're revisiting some of the most important conversations we've had on the topics that matter most to our health. And few are more important than heart disease. Heart disease remains the number one cause of death worldwide. Yet despite decades of research, millions of prescriptions, and billions of dollars spent on treatment, many people are still confused about what actually causes it—and what we can do to prevent it. For years, the conversation around heart diseas…
Encore: Why Normal Cholesterol Doesn't Always Mean Low Heart Disease Risk
Jun 29, 2026 · 29 min
High cholesterol has been treated as the main cause of heart disease for decades. But over the years, I've changed my mind. Today, I believe cholesterol is only part of the story, and that inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic health are often the real drivers of cardiovascular disease. In this encore episode, I'm revisiting one of my most talked-about Office Hours conversations to share how my thinking has evolved and why understanding the root cause of heart disease can completely ch…
Why Reproductive Health May Be the Most Important Biomarker for Women's Longevity | Dr. Natalie Crawford
Jun 24, 2026 · 1 hr 12 min
Most health issues don't appear overnight. Long before a diagnosis is made, the body often provides subtle clues that something needs closer attention. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with double board-certified fertility physician Dr. Natalie Crawford about her new book, The Fertility Formula, and why fertility and hormone health can reveal far more about your health than many people realize. We discuss: Why the menstrual cycle may be one of the clearest indicators of overall heal…
The Perfect Gut Healing Protocol: What to Eat, Avoid, and Do Every Day
Jun 22, 2026 · 27 min
Bloating, brain fog, fatigue, skin issues, food sensitivities, autoimmune symptoms—most people treat these as separate problems. But often, they can all trace back to the same place: the gut. And the surprising part is that you don't need digestive symptoms to have gut dysfunction. Because your gut isn't just responsible for digestion—it's deeply connected to your immune system, hormones, metabolism, brain health, and inflammation throughout the body. In today's episode, I dive into: Why gut dys…
Could Diet Reverse the Course of MS? Dr. Terry Wahls' Remarkable Recovery
Jun 17, 2026 · 1 hr 15 min
We’ve been taught to treat chronic diseases as isolated problems to be diagnosed and managed. But these conditions may have more in common than conventional medicine has traditionally recognized. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m joined by physician and researcher Dr. Terry Wahls, who transformed her understanding of disease after developing progressive multiple sclerosis. We discuss the emerging science behind mitochondria, inflammation, nutrition, the microbiome, and why creating heal…
Could Mold Be Making You Sick? Symptoms, Testing, and Recovery
Jun 15, 2026 · 30 min
Mold is one of the most misunderstood topics in health. Some people are told it’s not a real problem. Others are led to believe it’s the cause of every symptom they have. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. While not everyone exposed to mold gets sick, chronic exposure to water-damaged environments can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, sinus issues, immune dysfunction, hormone imbalances, and a wide range of symptoms that often go unexplained for years. In today’s episode, we explor…
Is It Burnout Or Something Deeper? The High-Functioning Trap | Dr. Judith Joseph
Jun 10, 2026 · 1 hr 23 min
If we're wired for joy, why do so many successful people feel exhausted, disconnected, or emotionally flat? On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with psychiatrist, researcher, and author Dr. Judith Joseph, whose team conducted the first peer-reviewed clinical study on high-functioning depression. We talk about why feeling "fine" on the outside doesn't always reflect what's happening beneath the surface—and why so many people struggle to feel fully alive. You’ll learn: Why achievemen…
Why Your Cholesterol Is High—and How to Start Fixing It in 10 Days
Jun 8, 2026 · 24 min
High cholesterol is one of the most common reasons people are told they’re at risk for heart disease. But what if cholesterol isn’t the root problem? What if it’s actually a signal of deeper metabolic dysfunction—and focusing on the number alone causes us to miss what’s really driving cardiovascular risk? In today’s episode, we explore a functional medicine approach to cholesterol and heart health, including: Why high cholesterol is often a downstream effect of insulin resistance, inflammation,…
Antidepressants Explained: Benefits, Risks, and Alternatives for Depression | Dr. James Greenblatt
Jun 3, 2026 · 55 min
Depression is often treated as a single condition. But two people with the same diagnosis can have completely different underlying causes. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m rejoined by Dr. James Greenblatt to explore why depression may be less of a disease and more of a signal that something deeper is going on. We discuss how a root-cause approach can uncover what’s driving symptoms and why finding what’s beneath them matters. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever yo…
The Perfect Morning Routine for a Longer, Sharper Life | Dr. Mark Hyman
Jun 1, 2026 · 18 min
Morning routines have become one of the most talked-about topics in health and wellness—but it’s not just about productivity or checking boxes. How you start your morning has a direct biological impact on your brain, your energy, your metabolism, and even how well you sleep at night. Yet, so many people inadvertently sabotage their biology first thing in the morning with dopamine hits, sugar, and stress. In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my morning routine to share the science-…
Millions of Women Stopped Taking Hormones Because of a Misread Study | Dr. Sharon Malone
Ep 1145 · May 27, 2026 · 1 hr 28 min
For far too long, many women have been told their symptoms were normal, exaggerated, or simply something they had to live with—treated as isolated problems instead of part of a much larger hormonal transition happening inside the body. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m joined by Dr. Sharon Malone, host of The Second Opinion podcast and Chief Medical Advisor at Alloy Women’s Health. We discuss how menopause and hormone therapy became so misunderstood, the real story behind the Women’s He…
Is HRT Safe? 10 Questions Women Ask Most — Answered by a Functional MD
Ep 1144 · May 25, 2026 · 46 min
Hormone replacement therapy is one of the most talked about—and misunderstood—topics in women’s health. For years, women were told HRT was dangerous. Now, the conversation is shifting, but many are still left confused about what’s actually safe, when to start, and whether hormones are even right for them. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Cindy Geyer from my clinic, The UltraWellness Center, to answer the most common questions we received from our audience about hormone replacement therapy,…

Ep 1143 · May 20, 2026 · 1 hr 12 min

Are You Secretly Dehydrated? Why a 1% Drop Kills Your Focus and Mood
Ep 1142 · May 18, 2026 · 19 min
Hydration affects far more than thirst. Even mild dehydration can impact your focus, memory, mood, energy, and overall brain performance—yet most people walk through the day without realizing they’re under-hydrated. The problem isn’t just not drinking enough water. It’s also caffeine overload, low electrolytes, processed foods, and inconsistent habits that quietly leave your brain and body struggling to keep up. In today’s episode, we break down how hydration impacts brain health and what you ca…
Women Are Not Small Men! Why Fitness Advice Is Failing Half the Population | Dr. Stacy Sims
Ep 1141 · May 13, 2026 · 1 hr 23 min

Her work has focused on how female physiology actually changes over time—and how training and nutrition need to change with it.

The 5 Root Causes of Autoimmune Disease (And How to Start Healing)
May 11, 2026 · 27 min
Autoimmune disease is often treated as something random, lifelong, and out of your control. But what if it’s not your body malfunctioning—what if it’s your immune system responding exactly the way it’s designed to, to something it sees as a threat? When you understand what’s driving that response, everything changes. Here’s what I cover in today’s episode: • The 5 key drivers—food, toxins, gut health, infections, and stress—and how they disrupt the immune system • Why diet is one of the most pow…
The Real Reason You Age (And How to Slow It Down) | Dr. Eric Verdin
Ep 1139 · May 6, 2026 · 1 hr 13 min
We tend to think of heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s as separate problems. But what if they all stem from the same underlying process? On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Eric Verdin, whose research, including work on compounds like urolithin A, is helping reshape how we think about aging and long-term health. We explore why aging may be the biggest driver of chronic disease and what that means for how you approach your health. Watch the full conversation on YouTube,…
