How Do I Know If I Actually Need a Detox? The Signs Your Body Is Telling You

Early in my career, I noticed that patients’ skin often improved as we addressed their nutrition and gut health. That changed how I approached skin concerns and taught me to look beneath the surface for contributing factors.

The Supplements, Foods, and Habits I Use to Stop a Cold Before It Starts
Why do some people catch every cold going around while others rarely get sick? Your immune system isn’t something you simply “boost” with one supplement—it’s shaped every day by your sleep, diet, stress, gut health, nutrient status, and metabolic health. In this episode, I’m joined by one of my producers, Emma, to break down what actually helps you build a more resilient immune system before cold
Nutrition Expert: This Is Why Eat Less, Exercise More Never Works
Nutrition advice often reduces food to calories, nutrients, and a list of rules to follow. But the more we learn about how the body responds to different foods, the clearer it becomes that this way of thinking tells only part of the story.

Why Willpower Fails: The Psychology of Food, Cravings, and Weight
You can know exactly how you want to eat and still find yourself reaching for something else when you’re stressed or exhausted. I’ve been there.

A Doctor's Honest Guide to The Grocery Store (What's Worth Worrying About)
Trying to eat healthy has gotten surprisingly complicated. You pick up salmon and wonder about mercury, grab strawberries and think about pesticides, or drink from a plastic bottle and start worrying about microplastics.

The Hidden Cause of Your Chronic Illness (It's Not What You Think) | Dr. Neil Nathan

5 Foods That Are Making Your Brain Fog Worse
Brain fog isn’t just a normal part of getting older—and it may not be a brain problem at all. If you struggle to focus, lose your train of thought, forget why you walked into a room, or feel mentally exhausted after eating, your body may be trying to tell you something.

ADHD is usually treated as a problem in the brain. But what if some of the factors making it harder to focus, regulate your mood, or manage your symptoms are actually coming from somewhere else in your body?
In this episode, I’m joined by one of my producers, Emma, to explore ADHD through a functional medicine lens. We look beyond the diagnosis to ask what may be happening “under the hood”—from t
How to Actually Calm an ADHD Nervous System (And Change Your Life)
ADHD can go unnoticed for decades, especially in women who learn to compensate through perfectionism, overpreparing, and working under pressure. It often isn’t until the demands of work, motherhood, or another major life transition become too much that the underlying struggle comes into view.

Inflammation isn't Something to Eliminate. It's Something to Regulate
Chronic inflammation may be one of the biggest forces accelerating how we age—and the surprising part is that many of the things keeping it switched on are happening every day.

Your Skin’s Worst Enemy Isn't the Sun - It's Your Metabolism!

Why blood sugar may be aging your skin faster than the sun and the hidden process that damages collagen from the
What We Got Wrong About GLP-1s (And What's Right) | Dr. Tyna Moore

The Truth About Weight Loss, Muscle, and Metabolism! Don't Make This Mistake

The 2 Workouts That Protect Your Brain, Muscles, and Metabolism

Undiagnosed Infections Are Silently Causing Chronic Disease | Dr. Richard Horowitz

Lyme Disease: The Symptoms, Tests, and Treatments Doctors Miss
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?

But Lyme is rarely just one infection—it's often part of a much bigger picture involving co-infections, immune dysfunction, inflammation, gut healt

Today on The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by psychiatri

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
Heart Rate Variability | Why Your Nervous System Needs This.
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 a
Too Much Histamine Is Wrecking Your Body — And Most Doctors Don't Know It
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 Sy
How Brain Inflammation Drives Depression, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's
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

Encore: Why Normal Cholesterol Doesn't Always Mean Low Heart Disease Risk
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
Why Reproductive Health May Be the Most Important Biomarker for Women's Longevity | Dr. Natalie Crawford
Most health issues don't appear overnight. Long before a diagnosis is made, the body often provides subtle clues that something needs closer attention.

The Perfect Gut Healing Protocol: What to Eat, Avoid, and Do Every Day
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, metaboli

Could Mold Be Making You Sick? Symptoms, Testing, and Recovery
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 imbala

Why Your Cholesterol Is High—and How to Start Fixing It in 10 Days
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 healt
Antidepressants Explained: Benefits, Risks, and Alternatives for Depression | Dr. James Greenblatt
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
The Perfect Morning Routine for a Longer, Sharper Life | Dr. Mark Hyman
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.

Millions of Women Stopped Taking Hormones Because of a Misread Study | Dr. Sharon Malone

Are You Secretly Dehydrated? Why a 1% Drop Kills Your Focus and Mood
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 5 Root Causes of Autoimmune Disease (And How to Start Healing)
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:

6 Root Causes of Migraines (And How to Fix Them)
Migraines aren’t just headaches and if you’ve ever had one, you know how debilitating they can be. But they’re not random, and they’re not just genetic. Migraines are a signal that something deeper is out of balance in your body and if you only treat the symptoms, you miss the real opportunity to prevent them.
In this episode, I break down what’s really driving migraines, including:

Can’t Fall or Stay Asleep? Your Sleep Questions Answered
Sleep is one of the most important and most overlooked drivers of your health. If you’re struggling to fall asleep, waking up at 2–4am, or getting a full night’s sleep but still feeling exhausted, your body is trying to tell you something.
Poor sleep isn’t just about habits, it’s a signal that key systems like your nervous system, blood sugar, hormones, or circadian rhythm are out of sync. In th

On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr to talk about why so many people feel stuck in what he calls a “sympathetic spiral of doom.” Energy is low, recovery isn’t what it used to be, and there’s a constant sense of stress that doesn’t seem to resolve.

What It Really Means to Regulate Your Nervous System—and How to Start

Office Hours: The Fiber Trend—How Much Is Too Much?

Office Hours: Your Pregnancy & Postpartum Questions Answered

Office Hours: The Truth About Environmental Toxins (And How to Protect Yourself)
Most of us think chronic disease is just about food, genetics, or aging. But there’s another major driver most doctors never talk about: your total toxic load.

School Food Is the Key to Fixing Our Children’s Health Crisis | Nora LaTorre
If we want to fix food, we have to fix the institutions shaping what our kids eat every day.
