I’m 54 and always wondered why my mom fed me mostly meats fruits and vegetables. We rarely sweets and as a teenager I hated anything sweet. Not til my thirties I started eating sweets and put on 60 lbs! I quit processed sugar and my life has changed! I lost 10 lbs the first week! It’s hard but im on 30 days sugar free and down 28 lbs!

ALL, JUST DO YOUR BEST. (Rest, stress less, eat better, treat one another better and get some sunshine and some exercise 😊

I like the direction this is going. My grandfather lived to be 94, and was working in his garden until the last year. He was active all throughout his life.

Genetically I have diabetics in my family, I asked for testing and found I have it too. I changed my diet, under control for 20 years. At 71, I do not take any drugs nor do I have any medical conditions. Diet and Exercise is KEY! Start growing your own vegetables and fruit.

Dr. HYMAN is a nonstop health information overload monster! He crushes blissful ignorance and puts everyone on notice. The American diet is mostly processed, refined, adulterated, and void of life giving properties. The fruits and vegetables here taste like water since our soil is dead. In other countries like Israel, Greece, and Portugal the intensity of their produce and the good effects of eating it are almost immediately noticeable. I can't be entirely fanatical, but thanks for the simple and amazing takeaways. It's so fantastic how our Creator put so many healing and rejuvenating properties within such a diverse array of foods.

This reminds me so much of the oxycontin epidemic. It started as a miracle drug for people with chronic pain. As a nursing student in the 90's, we were literally told to push pain medication. "Don't let the pain get ahead of you", which means take BEFORE you even need it. They also told us to tell the patients that there was very low risk of addiction. Meanwhile the pharmaceutical companies knew the whole time! Im sure any nurse practicing at that time knows exactly what I mean

My OB-Gyn told me in 1994 with my first child he told me to take a prenatal… after I delivered I asked if I needed to continue taking the prenatal vitamin. He said honestly you should continue taking it for the rest of your life.

Progress in health is NOT just screening and testing CONSTANTLY but FIXING the problem once the problem is found and REVERSING it. That's progress in health.

This widow (67) is happy to have come across this video. I feel like I'm still very young and people like you provide people like me the truth that is out here to help people to stay healthy and Young. Thank you

50 y/o male Down 75 lbs over 30 months. Just came off of a 5-day water fast. I still have an autoimmune condition, but I'm fighting that with a lectin free diet. Put in the work people!!

Dr Mark Hyman is a better speaker than an interviewer. He really shines here, impressive.

The family chili story of eating on a budget and weight loss journey to health and medical school is outstanding - we really are 1 meal away from saving America!!

perfect! I am a retired doctor from germany and very interested in the field of mitochondria.

I do not take any drugs and I am 73. Doctors have tried to put me on blood pressure meds and I pretty much told them hell no! I took bpm for like 1 month and got acid reflux so bad so I took myself off of it. I let my doctor know and all she could say was that she could give me something for the acid reflux! I said Nope! Instead I stay off carbs. If I do carbs blood pressure goes sky high!

Great comprehensive interview with a bloke who takes the time to give info, examples & legitimate explanations that aren’t based on paid endorsements from the business of poor health…big pharma Much appreciation

Dhru, you are a very good interviewer. Thankyou for a great compilation of interviews with the most important Voice in health today. There are many people that are doing research in the field, but Dr Hyman's strongsuit is being able to digest an incredible amount of information , understanding it and how it connects to the overall "picture". He is able then communicate his love and enthusiasm for what he does, and share it in a very understandable way to the great benefit of everyone else. That being said -your obvious knowledge and ability to "guide" the conversation is skillful and key to getting a good interview. THANK YOU!

Glucose tolerance tests were totally standard tests in the 50’s and early 60s. My dad was a GP in a small town. He had his own lab. Glucose tolerance tests were standard with all his patients; it took several hours to complete but then my dad was not in a hurry to get patients out if his office

The best thing you can do to stay young and healthy is some extended fasting! Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin.. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time. Fasting increases nitric oxide release. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness. The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting. Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention! Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

My channel will always contain an updated version of this list of fasting benefits on the community tab. I also have playlists on fasting and health topics.

A portion of endorsing high fructose corn syrup use started in the niineties. I will never forget when, at only a minmal upcharge, McDonalds started super sizing their soda drinks so that the equivalent of 7 Eleven's Big Gulp, (32 oucces). became their new large drink. Then other fast food competitiors followed suit. In contrast, if you look at the originial size bottled drinks from the 1920s, they were only 7 ounces, close to the equivalent of what dispense from your bladder every time you urinate. 32 ounces is a 5 time increase.

DHru 1:37: We also need to ban unhealthy food advertisement

I love love Dr Hyman!!!!! What I would do to have you be my doctor!

I’m in awe about everything that has been analyzed, called out and had a name for. This was such an informative interview. Thank you. 🙏

Babies are good evidence of why people don't like fruits and vegetables....if you give a baby a fresh sweet strawberry, they will like it and want more. If you have good broccoli cooked properly, you don't need any cheese, salt or butter, to get a baby to eat it. They won't eat it like it's candy, but they will eat it. So the reason people don't like fruits and vegetables is because of quality and how it's prepared, and of course, what it's eaten next to. If you have a sugar pasta sauce on top of spaghetti with cheese, the broccoli will be a bit boring or bland. If you have it with salmon and salad, nothing is overtaking the other. It all tastes good.

Feeling very grateful for y’all thank you so much for all you do my family and myself are becoming healthier because of you all thank you and may God bless you

Thank you for spendiing significant time on lower economic possibilities. I really respect both of your works. Thank you!!

I just caught your video. I’m right in the middle of the same thing. Our scenarios are very similar. I had no idea. Only symptom I had was fatigue but also worked 70 hours a week. So being tired comes with the territory. Forced health insurance changes let me know I was iron deficiency but after a few months of supplements I was told I was fine. ‘19-‘20. Stop the supplements and if you notice any changes to come back. Few years go by change careers, get way better insurance, turn 40, get a primary care doctor, inform him that at the end of 2019 I was iron deficient took supplements for a few months then told I was fine. Thought it would be a good idea just to check and make sure. Iron is bottomed out, and we start to investigate. This August the tumor was found at the beginning of the month, and found two spots on the liver at the end of the month. Had all the surgeries scheduled and then canceled and a port put in, and this week is round 2 of basically the same treatment. Same cocktail, different regiment. 6 hours in the chair, 48 hours with the infusion ball. My CEA is above 20, and has been over 30. Like you I’m trusting the process, trusting the doctors are suggesting the best options as we progress. Wishing you the best outcome!

I am reversing diabetes, fatty liver, & kidney stones. Not to mention arthritis, carpal tunnel symptoms (in conjunction with surgery), and back pain reduction. An organic Whole Foods diet is helping me feel better than I have in 25 years.

Good one Kaiti! Your nice when telling us to lay off the carbs and sugar. We need to make up our mind that we are going to avoid the problem foods. None of the foods you mentioned fooled me. If we just don’t eat those foods then I can guarantee results! I’m living proof of that!

Dr. Mercola’s paid for articles gives the best most usable information. He and his guests tell you specifics so that you can really use the info for personal use.

I love Dr. Hyman.

I would NEVER have taken this man for early 60s. And I will just leave it at that.

Over the last six years I have come off met Forman gone from 180 pounds to 120 pounds which is what my healthy weight was when I was in my 20s and I did it by testing my blood sugar after I ate something and creating basically my own kind of keto diet

The actual Dr. House. On a serious note, great interview!

Wow! 😢 the "Good Food for Less" story literally brought me to tears... Fabulous 🎉

I have studied nutrition for over 40 years and I am still unclear about the best human way of eating. I would love to see a conversation between Dr Hyman and Dr. McDougal for instance. They are both so passionate about each of their opposing diets.

Love the info on this!! Thanks for your time and valuable information!! ❤

Dhru: Would love a round table discussion with Drs. Hyman, Chaffee, Baker, Berry. They all seem to be in agreement about meat (although not the amount) but vary widely about vegetables, fruit, and supplements. This vast difference in diet recommendations, from these medical doctors and their own doctors, is why some/many people are confused about what to eat and some just give up out of frustration.

Thanks Dhru for another awesome conversation🎉🎉🎉

Really good show, great discussion & lots of food for thought 🌷

Dr Mark is a beast. He spits out so much real data it's beyond reproach. Thank you for keeping it real

I feel lucky to have found your channel. Thank you for all this amazing information!!

Thank you so much for sharing this very informative video. I have learned a lot from it.

Dr. Hyman is very helpful

36:49 hit home pretty good. Lots of great, relatable, presumably non-biased information in here. Thanks for posting!

Let food be thy medicine.

Thanks 🙏 for this gold

Talent and knowledge with a smile....Thankyou 😊

I feel if we do the research needed in order to feed our family a healthy diet and the best that we can afford, then we let God take care of the rest. I think that is all He is asking of us in these times on earth. ❤️

When do you foresee Functional Medicine becoming affordable to the general public? My first and only appointment including testing and supplements for 1 month was $3,000 out of pocket 😯😔

His analogy on eating butter is definitely inaccurate. I'm 52 years old I went full carnivore on September 5th 2023. Since that time I've lost 15 pounds. Butter is a huge part of my daily diet most of the time I can get by on one meal most days. I hardly ever feel hungry.

Always great videos, best wishes 👍

One of Dr Hymans best interviews. 😊

Very helpful!

Excellent episode👏

I love this discussion. Does the Dr. Have the book on audio yet?

Great interview🔥👏

You can see how healthy Dr.Mark is. Not only by his skin but also by his Jaw Line. No saggy skin at all. It’s elastic around the jaw line. That’s what a healthy middle age man looks like!! 🙌🌗🌗💯💜

Great information. We all need to do more natural things to help. Of course we incorporate the spiritual. You have great programs. Keep up the good work.

Dhru you are such a good interviewer. You have a great channel.

It is 100% a problem of *awareness,* I grew up in a single parent household with kool aid soda & tons of carbs, once i left home.... I found out how to be healty & started eating differently, my family *guilted & shamed* me & would always try to make me over eat when I came home & my family is only overweight not even obese, but I've seen the obese in these small towns, rural communities & many of them think the same.... Mom still always has the candy dishes out & still drinks her pepsi.... But at least I finally got her & her husband to *respect my food choices* when i visit, but *they refuse to eat healthy* or take my advice, they see me as *a sucker* for "believing in organic" foods! 🙃.... Yeah people are *very misinformed,* most people think our food is the same food as it was in the 1950's *It's NOT!*

Thanks!

Great discussion. Great insights. Really. Thank you. How often should I change my oil?

Holistic dentist is worth using?

I did that 25 yrs ago for Eat Smart NY through Cornell Coop Extension!!!

Yay 😊can’t wait. I actually have jovial einkorn flour in my freezer I use occasionally. I also have a gluten sensitivity and have never had a problem with this. I was using it for sourdough goodies before I started low carb. Can’t wait for the new flour recipe. Thanks so much for sharing 💙Cheryl

❤ loved "Dr. Hyman Virgins" ... also reminds me to ask whether Dr. Hymen might be related to the perhaps coincidentally long-lived jazz pianist and educator Dick (aka Richard) Hyman.........?

Excellent interview, great information. The number of ads is astounding! Disappointing.

Love it🔥👏

I'm with you👍

Thank you ❤

limit sugar intake balanced diet exercise/ move around stay hydrared fast once or twice a month. if only everyone makes it a culture or a social norm, then our health problems would be less... current society is moving backwards by glorifying bad health related behaviours. 🤷

I agree that children should not be blamed. They don’t necessarily have a choice, however for adults they must absolutely be held accountable. We cannot endorse people hiding behind their victim mentality/excuses. Our welfare system treats adults like children.

Would like to get the info on better cooking! I agree so many don’t know what is bad!! I am trying to watch the labels etc n learning! I would love more info on better foods to cook that are inexpensive

Dhru says so you just gotta ask your doctor (on getting the wide range of blood tests) but your docs will argue why and you say well this internet Doc says...😮. I am constantly in need for a way to educate my doc without offending them 😢. Over the past 15 years he humored me doing the tests, so now his health declined and he's retiring early. I'm starting over today Nov '23.

❤ thank you six years ago when I had just heard about diet controlled diabetes, I started testing after I ate . My diet looks a bit like keto. I’ve lost over 50 pounds. I went from 60 units of insulin now to nothing but when people ask if I went on keto, I say no, I tested. I went on my diet.

Corn also makes products that are used by big companies to add to processed foods. Therefore, they have a forever customer. Don't forget that the government agency is the FDA, food and drug.. ..... Follow the money is always the answer.

Nice conversation! Just reflecting on the fact that soda now has corn syrup as the sweetener. It actually use to have sugar. My aunt who is 85 use to have a coke every morning when she worked. Wonder when they switched from sugar to corn syrup? (And thus made it worse?). My aunt is relatively healthy still.

"Essential" has different meanings: Bergamot oil is an "essential oil" - because it has the "essence" or perfume of Bergamot - it is not essential for life like "essential fatty acids" or "essential amino acids" are.

I hate when people say, “eating healthy is expensive“. The truth is eating junk Food is expensive. If they emptied out their shopping cart of all the junk food, their grocery bill would be half the price.

You just sold a book Mark 🙏🌸💪🏻🌼🌱🥊😂😻

Love it live it doing my best to clean up my diet and add more weights in my exercises … I wish my family and loved ones would listen too !!! 🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🪴🪴🪴 keep up the good work !!! Both of you are greatly appreciated!!! Thank you so much for all the information you provide!!! ☀️☀️☀️🌿🌿🌿🪴🪴🪴

When I was in grade school there were one or two fat kids in the entire school. Now there are 1 out of every 2 fat kids in school

Excellent presentation! Sometimes a little too fast.

I’m 71 and have been following a carnivore diet for the last 5 years. It sounds crazy but it’s so simple and my health and strength have skyrocketed. I hear you guys talking about all these special injections and supplements and sourcing exotic grains from far away and it’s just so expensive sounding and so complicated. With all the anecdotal evidence out there about the carnivore diet why isn’t it being given the attention that these rare exotic foods are being given? I don’t even care about living longer, I do care about staying healthy and functional for as long as I do live. So heads up world. Start studying a pure simple and accessible carnivore diet and let’s compare it to all these other exotic crazy supplements.

Fast and feast for the win.

Im glad Im french because I always learn to eat well as a natural thing seeing my grand mother and mother cooking healthy delicious food out of nothing. I have a friend half french half american she cannot bear to go to see her father as they only eat crap food while staying with him and he doesnt allow her to cook her vegetables she had trouble to find and that creates only arguments as she will dirty the kitchen doing so ! That sounds crazy back to France as she said people there eat constantly and only fast food and proccessed food from shops ! That is scary to live in such a country...That is sick actually. Im even surprised the rate death isnt even worst !

Hi doctor mark Hyman this is Michael from California what diet or mail plan do you find to be the healthiest and increase longevity thank you

I'm just confused in these issues. So many vitamins mentioned and supplements. So how will we apply all of them. We will be over dosing . Please explain more on how we take them. Thank you,GREATLY APPRECIATED 👏

now i saw it the 10th time fantastisch wunderbar i totally agree

I’m 58 and I get trying to blame everything on food, but my struggles began at 30 years old. I was active and did not eat poorly. My A1C started rising and I gained weight literally for no reason. My doctor put me on metformin and my journey to restricting began. No white flour, no corn, no white rice, increase protein, moderate carbs, low fats. My A1C although remained at 5.9 it was never low. My life has been a struggle with weight up/down, with me constantly watching what I eat, because one meal would cause immediate weight gain and inflammation. Finally learned about low carb, now Keto in 2016. That helped but once menopause set in it wasn’t enough so I restricted even more. A1C began increasing and I started gaining weight for no reason. My doctor put me on mounjaro last year and says that I have genetic insulin resistance. Been seeing the same doctor. I get that these drugs are new, but why don’t we talk about genetic insulin resistance and what it means and it’s impact on those of us who’s bodies don’t creat the proper hormones to digest foods properly. So nearly my entire life my body treated everything like sugar, no matter who good or restrictive my eating habits were. People aren’t the same and until we start treating them like that we won’t see significant improvements across all people. We need to stop shaming obese or overweight people and blaming it all on food, when most likely genetics are the most likely culprit. My doctor knew that my GDad had type two diabetes and my father developed it in his 40’s. My father like me didn’t eat poorly. He’s now 79, and on insulin. He eats well, very restrictive yet can’t get off insulin. I honestly believe if we’d been diagnosed with insulin resistance early on our lives would’ve been different. I guess we were born at the wrong time. I guess our grand and great grandchildren will fair better.

👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷excelente produção

I think Mark did answer the question about whether the major risk for obesity is genetic or not. He gave a nuanced answer- there is some genetic vulnerability to gain weight, but only to about 22 lbs. It does not account for people needing to lose 50 to 100 lbs. We can't change genetically in 50 years. It's all the things Mark mentions but a huge components ultraprocessed foods that are designed to make you come back for more. The food industry takes advantage of the biological drive to eat more of sweet foods so you have enough body fat to survive a period of food shortage ( like winter).

I have 10 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. I haven't touched one yet. I will have a few when i reach my goal. The funny thing is since I broke my sugar addiction, im not sure if I will want them like I did when i bought them. I haven't had sugar or sweets in over a month, and when i see it in the store, it doesn't make me feel anything. Thanks Doc!

I remember as a new teacher, a doctor named Dr. Dees came to speak to my school about quarter water, it was food dye, sugar and water and available in corner stores in poor neighborhoods. . He linked it to neurological issues like ADHD before iADHD was called ADHD.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It makes total sense. I am not sure what monjaro does other than slow down your motility in your bowels, but it does affect the brain somehow. I am embarrassed to say this, but I want people to understand. It was like an obsessive-compulsive diisorder towards food. I constantly craved disgusting foods. I was constantly obsessed with what I was going to eat next. Now, after taking monjauro, I don't think about food until i'm hungry, and then I wonder what would be good for me to eat tonight. This drug honestly does something different to my brain. No more obsessing about food. I honestly don't obsess about anything anymore. Life is so much better. I'm healthier....

Hi doctor mark Hyman this is Michael from California how or what is the best way to have really go healthcare like they do in Certain parts of Europe and certain parts of Asia in the united state can you please help as get that type of healthcare and also make it really alldoctors hospitals and pharmacy must take and expect it thank you for your time and commitment to getting family people persons parents

3:20... i would like to watch it all but could we make the points a little quicker ? probably get more YT views/revenue too.

Not to say food is not important but it’s the biggest lever - based on Dr Peter Attia and Dr Jack kruse the biggest levers are exercise and light.

Also important to look at ingredients in skincare, I’m amazed at all the chemicals and perfumes that are so bad
