  • How Sleep Rewires Your Brain, Balances Your Hormones & Extends Your Life | Dr. Matthew Walker

    How Sleep Rewires Your Brain, Balances Your Hormones & Extends Your Life | Dr. Matthew Walker
    Feb 5 2025
    We all know sleep is important, but most of us don’t realize just how much it shapes our health—from metabolism and heart function to emotional well-being and even social connections. In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with world-renowned sleep expert Matthew Walker, PhD, to uncover the science behind why sleep is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for longevity. In this fascinating conversation, we discuss: Why Dr. Walker sees sleep as the foundation of good health and how it enhances the benefits of diet and exercise. The dramatic effects of even mild sleep deprivation on cognitive function and emotional health. How poor sleep can disrupt blood sugar regulation and increase the risk of chronic disease. The science behind deep sleep and its role in memory, learning, and brain detoxification. Simple, science-backed strategies to improve your sleep quality starting tonight. If you’ve ever struggled with sleep—or just want to optimize your health—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

  • The Industry Secret Keeping You Inflamed, Tired, & Bloated | Nina Teicholz & Max Lugavere

    The Industry Secret Keeping You Inflamed, Tired, & Bloated | Nina Teicholz & Max Lugavere
    Feb 3 2025
    Highly processed vegetable oils, derived from seeds and beans, have become a dominant part of modern diets despite significant health concerns. Historical biases in nutrition science, influenced by the vegetable oil industry, have promoted these oils despite evidence from controlled studies showing negative health outcomes. These oils are unstable, prone to oxidation, and can create toxic byproducts, particularly when exposed to heat, contributing to inflammation and chronic diseases. Although they can lower LDL cholesterol, studies have shown that this reduction does not necessarily improve heart health and may increase risks for other conditions like cancer. In contrast, traditional fats like extra virgin olive oil and omega-3-rich foods offer more stability and health benefits, emphasizing the need for a balanced, minimally processed approach to dietary fats. In this episode, I talk with Nina Teicholz and Max Lugavere to explore the health impacts of different types of fats and oils, debunking misconceptions around cooking with extra virgin olive oil and emphasizing the dangers of industrial vegetable oils. Nina Teicholz is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat—especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease. She is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit working to ensure that government nutrition policy is transparent and evidence-based—work for which she’s been asked to testify before the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate. Max Lugavere is a health and science journalist and the author of the New York Times best-seller Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life, now published in 10 languages around the globe. His sophomore book, also a best-seller, is called The Genius Life: Heal Your Mind, Strengthen Your Body, and Become Extraordinary and latest book Genius Kitchen. Max is the host of a #1 iTunes health and wellness podcast, called The Genius Life. Max appears regularly on The Dr. Oz Show, The Rachael Ray Show, and The Doctors. He has contributed to Medscape, Vice, Fast Company, CNN, and The Daily Beast, has been featured on NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, and in The New York Times and People Magazine. He is an internationally sought-after speaker and has given talks at South by Southwest, the New York Academy of Sciences, the Biohacker Summit in Stockholm, Sweden, and many others.

So powerful

Absolutely love this. I completed my goal of running the NYC Marathon last year by making small habit changes to do my training properly and injury free.

Basic crucial information

Basic crucial information to start a healthy lifestyle. ANY steps advised are worthwhile. There is no need to do it ALL in the beginning. I'm ten years in on making these and other subtle improvements that Dr. Hyman suggests... more to go. I've noticed improvements in my body with the suggestions of Doctor Hyman.

Starch = alcohol? Alcohol = starch?

Thank you VERY much for this episode - great!. 1998 I had hi cholesterol, 300+, and fatty liver. (I’m 6’2”, 165, run a lot) for the next year I ate no meat and not one once of alcohol. Chol dropped to 59. Why? I say it was cutting out the alcohol. Possible?

A Powerful and Insightful Listen for Wellness!

Each episode provides simple but powerful information on food, health, and functional medicine. I learned about so many small changes that I have started to make in my life, from foods driving inflammation to understanding the total body effects of foods like sugar. Highly recommend this series for better living, healthier and clean eating!
