The Doctor's Farmacy With Mark Hyman, M.d.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, Pendulum, and Apollo. I don’t just want to live a long life, I want to feel good while I’m doing it.  That’s why I’m always interested in the latest therapies to slow the aging process. Stem cells are one of those therapies that have been gaining a lot of traction for reducing nerve and muscle pain, improving the appearance and health of hair and skin, and even increasing sexual vitality. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to Dr. Bob Hariri about stem cell therapy and how it’s changing the field of aging science and the future of human health.  Dr. Bob Hariri is an accomplished surgeon, biomedical scientist, and serial entrepreneur in two technology sectors, biomedicine, and aerospace. He is the chairperson, founder, and chief executive officer of Celularity, Inc., one of the world’s leading human cellular therapeutics companies. Dr. Hariri pioneered the use of stem cells to treat a range of life-threatening human diseases. He holds ov

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, AG1, and Mitopure.  Many people still believe that eating cholesterol and fat, especially saturated fat, causes heart attacks and that taking statin drugs is the only way to reduce your risk of heart attacks, but now we know the science says otherwise. The good news is this: we have a lot more control than we originally thought when it comes to preventing and reversing heart disease. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Cindy Geyer, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, and Dr. Todd LePine about why we need to look beyond cholesterol levels to protect our hearts. Dr. Cindy Geyer received her bachelor of science and doctor of medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed her residency in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY, 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

This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and AG1. About 30 years ago, when I became seriously ill with chronic fatigue syndrome, I felt like I simultaneously had dementia, depression, and ADD. My brain felt broken! That’s when I discovered Functional Medicine. One huge benefit I experienced when I reversed my chronic fatigue syndrome was how well my brain improved. Over the years, I fine-tuned my approach for a sharper, faster, and better brain.  In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I am talking about things that can lead to a broken brain and my top strategies for improving brain health.  This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Athletic Greens.

It’s a fundamental driver of our health and longevity, and we’re now learning how boosting NAD levels might offset and improve the effects of aging.  On today’s episode, I’m excited to talk to Dr. Andrew Salzman all about NAD—how it is a key component involved in mitochondrial production, and is a critical substrate for several enzymes, including sirtuins, which play key roles in healthy aging, weight management, metabolic syndrome, and metabolism. Dr. Salzman is a physician, inventor, professor, and biomedical entrepreneur. Dr. Salzman received his medical degree from Harvard University and has spent decades in drug discovery and development, raising over $165M in NIH grants for research. In addition to 50 patents, Dr. Salzman is credited with a breakthrough discovery in cellular DNA repair, which led to the world's first clinical application for successfully treating

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, AG1, Pique, and Joovv.  While our body's detoxification systems are sophisticated and well functioning, they are not far enough evolved to protect us fully from the toxic burdens we encounter in our environment. In today’s episode, I talk with Dave Asprey, Dr. Todd LePine, and Dhru Purohit about environmental contaminants that could be lurking behind your persistent health symptoms and why testing should be an integral part of our routine health exams as we age. Dave Asprey is an entrepreneur, the “Father of Biohacking,” and the leading voice in the movement to take control of your own biology. He’s hosted over 1,000 episodes of The Human Upgrade podcast (formerly Bulletproof Radio) for more than a decade. He also hosts the world’s largest and longest-running biohacking conference. He’s a New York Times bestselling author of multiple books, creator of Danger Coffee and Bulletproof Coffee, and owner and CEO of Upgrade Labs, the world’s first Human Upgrade Center.

What matters most in life is the quality of our experiences and the ability to be awake to what is real and true in our lives for both the difficult and the happy times. But that is harder than it sounds. More and more, we struggle with attention and focus. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I discuss why we are so easily distracted, my own journey into meditation, and the incredible health benefits of a regular meditation practice.

Over the years, it has become a widely held belief that cancer is predominately a genetic disease or simply the consequence of bad luck. An empowering evolution in cancer research, however, suggests we have far more control over our risk than previously thought.  I’m excited to talk to Dr. Thomas Seyfried about the underlying causes of cancer and why addressing metabolic dysfunction is a very important and often overlooked area of its prevention and treatment.  Dr. Thomas Seyfried is an American professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry at Boston College. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1976 and did his postdoctoral fellowship at the Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Seyfried has over 150 peer-reviewed publications, and his research focuses primarily on the mechanisms driving cancer, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases and calorie-restricted ketogenic diets in their pr

This episode is brought to you b Rupa University, Paleovalley, HigherDOSE, and Athletic Greens.  There are many areas of life that we can dial in for optimal health and longevity. Three of those areas are what we eat, our quality of sleep, and our energy production. We eat pounds of food every single day that act as information for our cells and influence our DNA expression. When we sleep, our brain’s immune system (the glymphatic system) clears away damaged cells. And increasing our energy will not only help us feel better but will also support all the systems of the body to function better. In today’s episode, I talk with Dhru Purohit in my Masterclass series about the Functional Medicine approach to food, improving our sleep, and powering up our bodies. Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top 50 global health podcast with over 30 million unique downloads. His interviews focus on the inner workings

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and Athletic Greens. Taking care of yourself, practicing self-love and self-compassion, working on a growth mindset, building relationships and community, and having a sense of purpose are all crucial to living a fulfilling, long, healthy life. Your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are all transmuted into biological signals that change your gene expression, impacting your immune function, hormones, microbiome, neurotransmitters, neuroplasticity, mitochondria, and more. Yet many of us tend to put self-care last on our list of to-dos (I certainly have for much of my life, to the detriment of my own health). In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I share my strategies for prioritizing self-care for a healthy mind and spirit.

Before I became a doctor, I actually studied Buddhism. I wanted to understand the root of human suffering, and through that, understand the way to create happiness.  On today’s episode, I’m excited to talk to Dan Harris about the science of happiness, how to deal with the challenges of modern-day life, and how to create more happiness for ourselves and for those around us.  Dan Harris is an author, podcaster, and entrepreneur. For 21 years, he worked as an anchor and correspondent for ABC News, hosting such shows as Nightline and the weekend editions of Good Morning America. Dan has reported from all over the planet, covering wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and producing investigative reports in Haiti, Cambodia, and the Amazon. After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan discovered meditation and then wrote th

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and LMNT. Compounds that have long been considered recreational drugs by conventional standards are finally being recognized through science as powerful tools for overcoming hard-to-treat health issues like PTSD, depression, addiction, and more. For the right person, psychedelics can provide a sense of peace and hope that helps heal their inner wounds and allows them to live with more freedom. In today’s episode, I talk with Rick Doblin, Alberto Villoldo, and Wade Davis about the ancient healing mechanisms of plant medicine. Rick Doblin, PhD, is the founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He received his doctorate in public policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. His professional goals are to help develop legal contexts for the beneficial uses of psychedelics and marijuana, primarily as prescription medicines but also for personal growth for otherwise healthy people, and eventu

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and InsideTracker. We’ve become exposed to a greater number of environmental toxins than ever before. Environmental toxins can feed cancer, interfere with glucose and cholesterol metabolism, and induce insulin resistance and obesity through multiple mechanisms, including inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial injury, altered thyroid metabolism, and impaired central appetite regulation.  In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, we’re talking about how environmental toxins impact our health, the top endocrine-disrupting toxins, and my strategies for reducing your exposure. I also share which foods you should be sure to buy organic. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and InsideTracker.

Contrary to popular belief, women cannot follow the same health and fitness protocols as men and expect to see the same results. Unlike men, women in their reproductive years have specific hormonal considerations, and their rise and fall throughout the month impact everything from energy to focus, mood, metabolism, and the ability to adapt to good-for-you stressors like exercise or fasting. On today’s episode, I’m excited to talk to Dr. Mindy Pelz all about the benefits of fasting and how women, in particular, can cultivate a fasting routine in a way that honors their hormones.  Dr. Mindy is a renowned holistic health expert and one of the leading voices in educating women about their hormonal health. She has empowered hundreds of thousands of people around the world to tap into their bodies' innate healing abilities through her “5-Step Approach,” which uses fasting, personalized nutrition, stress management, chemical detoxifi

Our bodies are meant to move, yet so many of us are sedentary due to desk jobs, low energy, or lack of motivation. In today’s episode, I talk with Max Lugavere, Mark Sisson, Tony Robbins, and Peter Diamandis about why exercise is the cornerstone of good health and long life. Max Lugavere is a health and science journalist and the author of the New York Times bestseller Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life.

Real, whole foods contain information in the form of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, protein, phytonutrients, and fiber. That’s why food is our most powerful tool for getting our healthspan to match our lifespan. Today, I’m excited to talk to Dr. Michael Murray, one of the world’s leading authorities on natural medicine, about the power of food for optimal health and longevity and how to activate our body’s own innate healing system.  Dr. Murray is a doctor of naturopathy, a field of alternative medicine that seeks to harness the power of nature to prevent illness and achieve the highest level of health possible.
