  • The #1 Anti-Aging Tool You’re Ignoring (Hint: It’s Free and Happens at Night)

    The #1 Anti-Aging Tool You’re Ignoring (Hint: It’s Free and Happens at Night)
    Apr 14 2025
    Sleep is not just a luxury—it’s a foundational pillar of health that influences nearly every aspect of our well-being. Sleep deprivation doesn’t just cause fatigue; it disrupts hormones, drives inflammation, damages metabolism, and accelerates aging. From the gut microbiome to stress hormones like cortisol, sleep is deeply intertwined with brain, immune, and metabolic health. Yet our modern world—filled with late-night screens, ultra-processed foods, and chronic stress—works against quality rest. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Matt Walker and Shawn Stevenson, why we need to address sleep as a core health priority to unlock healing, prevention of chronic disease, and renewed vitality. Matthew Walker earned his PhD in neuroscience from the Medical Research Council in the UK, and subsequently became a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He is currently a Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and director of the Center for Human Sleep Science. Matt’s research focuses on the effect of sleep on human health and disease, brain, and body. He has published more than 100 scientific research studies and has received numerous funding awards from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Matt has given a main-stage TED Talk that has been viewed over 13 million times, has also created several TED Miniseries on sleep, a MasterClass series on sleep, and is author of the New York Times bestseller, Why We Sleep. Matt is also the host of the 5-star-rated, The Matt Walker Podcast. Shawn Stevenson is the author of the USA Today National bestseller Eat Smarter, and the international bestselling book Sleep Smarter. He’s also the creator of The Model Health Show, featured as the number #1 health podcast in the U.S. with millions of listener downloads each month. A graduate of the University of Missouri–St. Louis, Shawn studied business, biology, and nutritional science and became the cofounder of Advanced Integrative Health Alliance. Shawn has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, The New York Times, Muscle & Fitness, ABC News, ESPN, and many other major media outlets. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

  • Food dye, ADHD, and Corporate Lies: How Big Food Targets Your Kids | Vani Hari

    Food dye, ADHD, and Corporate Lies: How Big Food Targets Your Kids | Vani Hari
    Apr 9 2025
    Are U.S. food companies cutting corners at the expense of your health? Vani Hari, known to many as the Food Babe, thinks so—and she’s spent over a decade sounding the alarm. In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, she shares why she believes many American products are still made with harmful additives and dyes, even though companies have found ways to remove them in versions sold abroad. In our conversation, she explains: Why she believes Kellogg’s and other U.S. brands aren’t doing enough to protect American consumers. The FDA loophole she says allows companies to self-approve food chemicals without oversight. How food dyes could be contributing to rising rates of behavioral issues in kids. The labeling gaps and industry tactics she says are keeping consumers in the dark. How everyday people can push back—and why she believes activism still works. Don’t miss this insightful episode!

  • Fatty Liver Is the New Smoking—And 90 Million Americans Have It

    Fatty Liver Is the New Smoking—And 90 Million Americans Have It
    Apr 7 2025
    What if your fatigue, weight gain, hormone imbalances, and brain fog all traced back to a silent disease that affects 1 in 3 people—and you didn’t even know you had it? In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Dr. Yousef Elyaman to talk about a condition that’s quietly becoming one of the biggest threats to our health: fatty liver disease—now renamed Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). It’s not just a liver issue. It’s deeply connected to heart disease, cancer, infertility, type 2 diabetes, dementia, and even hormone dysfunction. The most alarming part is it’s often missed in traditional medicine because there’s no easy drug to prescribe. We break down: The real root causes—from sugar and starch overload to gut imbalances, toxins, alcohol, and chronic inflammation The surprising early warning signs your body might be giving you Why standard labs often miss it, and the tests you actually need The step-by-step functional medicine approach to reverse fatty liver naturally—using targeted nutrition, lifestyle upgrades, and proven supplements I also share the latest science on inflammation, why it’s the common thread between fatty liver and nearly every chronic disease, and how to calm it down at the root. This is the episode I wish every patient (and doctor) could hear—because fatty liver is reversible when you catch it early, and the ripple effects of healing it are massive. If you care about your energy, hormones, brain health, or longevity… this one’s for you. 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. Dr. Yousef Elyaman is the founder and Medical Director of Absolute Health, a primary care functional medicine practice in Ocala, Florida. He is the 100th President of the Marion County Medical Society and the Functional Medicine Director at The Guest House Ocala, a trauma and substance abuse center. Dr. Elyaman also serves as the Medical Director for HumanN, a leading nutraceutical company, and is a Consultant for Quest Diagnostics Laboratory in their Wellness Division. He is teaching Faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine on their Cardiometabolic module. Dr. Elyaman belongs to the first graduating class of the Institute for Functional Medicine. He is Board-certified in Internal Medicine and holds certifications in functional and integrative medicine as well. His leadership and expertise are reflected in his diverse roles, demonstrating his commitment to advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care. When not at work, Dr. Elyaman loves spending time with his wife and seven children where they live on a cattle and horse ranch. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

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!
