Episodes
Big Pharma's Trillion Dollar Deception on Mental Health | Joanna Moncrief
For decades, depression has often been described as the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. But how strong is the evidence behind that idea? This episode explores one perspective on an area of medicine that continues to be actively debated and is intended to encourage thoughtful discussion—not to provide individualized medical advice.
Today on The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by psychiatri
3pm Slump Destroying Your Focus? Here's What's Really Happening
Do you hit a wall every afternoon around 2 or 3 p.m.? If your energy disappears, your brain gets foggy, and you need caffeine or sugar just to finish the day, it isn't a lack of willpower—it's a sign that something deeper is driving your energy crash. 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: Your Nervous System Controls Your Gut, Hormones, and Weight — Here's How to Fix It
You've cleaned up your diet. You're taking the supplements. You're exercising, sleeping more, and doing everything "right." So why do you still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, or stuck? In this encore episode—one of the most impactful Office Hours conversations we've shared—I explore a question that could change the way you think about healing: What if your nervous system is the missing piece?
3 Heart Experts Reveal What Really Prevents Heart Disease
As part of our summer series, we're revisiting some of the most important conversations we've had on the topics that matter most to our health. And few are more important than heart disease.
Heart disease remains the number one cause of death worldwide. Yet despite decades of research, millions of prescriptions, and billions of dollars spent on treatment, many people are still confused about what
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.
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with double board-certified fertility physician Dr. Natalie Crawford about her new book, The Fertility Formula, and why fertility and hormone health can reveal far more about your health than many peop
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 Diet Reverse the Course of MS? Dr. Terry Wahls' Remarkable Recovery
We’ve been taught to treat chronic diseases as isolated problems to be diagnosed and managed. But these conditions may have more in common than conventional medicine has traditionally recognized.

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
Is It Burnout Or Something Deeper? The High-Functioning Trap | Dr. Judith Joseph
If we're wired for joy, why do so many successful people feel exhausted, disconnected, or emotionally flat?
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with psychiatrist, researcher, and author Dr. Judith Joseph, whose team conducted the first peer-reviewed clinical study on high-functioning depression. We talk about why feeling "fine" on the outside doesn't always reflect what's happening
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. How you start your morning has a direct biological impact on your brain, your energy, your metabolism, and even how well you sleep at night. Yet, so many people inadvertently sabotage their biology first thing in the morning with dopamine hits, sugar, and
Millions of Women Stopped Taking Hormones Because of a Misread Study | Dr. Sharon Malone
For far too long, many women have been told their symptoms were normal, exaggerated, or simply something they had to live with—treated as isolated problems instead of part of a much larger hormonal transition happening inside the body.
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m joined by Dr. Sharon Malone, host of The Second Opinion podcast and Chief Medical Advisor at Alloy Women’s Health.

Is HRT Safe? 10 Questions Women Ask Most — Answered by a Functional MD
Hormone replacement therapy is one of the most talked about—and misunderstood—topics in women’s health. For years, women were told HRT was dangerous.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Cindy Geyer from my clinic, The UltraWellness Center,

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 problem isn’t just not drinking enough water. It’s also caffeine overload, low electrolytes, processed foods, and inconsistent habits that quietly leave your brain and body struggl
Women Are Not Small Men! Why Fitness Advice Is Failing Half the Population | Dr. Stacy Sims
Most health and fitness advice for women is based on research done in men. That’s something we need to rethink.
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Stacy Sims, an exercise physiologist and leading researcher in women’s health. Her work has focused on how female physiology actually changes over time—and how training and nutrition need to change with it.

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:
• The 5 key drivers—food, toxins, gut he
The Real Reason You Age (And How to Slow It Down) | Dr. Eric Verdin
We tend to think of heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s as separate problems. But what if they all stem from the same underlying process?
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Eric Verdin, whose research, including work on compounds like urolithin A, is helping reshape how we think about aging and long-term health. We explore why aging may be the biggest driver of chronic
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:

The Mental Health Crisis Starts in the Gut | Dr. William Li & Dr. Mark Hyman
It’s easy to think of mental health as something happening only in the brain. But more and more, we’re seeing how closely it’s tied to what’s going on in the gut.
Today, I’m joined again by Dr. William Li, a New York Times bestselling author. We discuss his latest book, Eat to Beat Your Diet, and how food, inflammation, and microbiome shape the way we think and feel.

We Can Detect Cancer Years Earlier—So Why Aren’t We?

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

What if feeling better didn’t have to take months or years to figure out, but could start today?
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.
We walk through wh
What It Really Means to Regulate Your Nervous System—and How to Start

Why Endometriosis Keeps Coming Back (And How to Break the Cycle)
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women yet it often takes years to diagnose, and many are told their pain is “normal” or simply treated with birth control or surgery.
But endometriosis isn’t just a hormone issue—it’s a whole-body condition driven by inflammation, immune dysfunction, gut health, and environmental exposures. In this episode, we break down what’s really causing it and what you can do

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

Office Hours: Your Pregnancy & Postpartum Questions Answered
Pregnancy doesn’t just change your life—it transforms your entire biology.
Hormones shift, metabolism adapts, nutrient needs increase, and your nervous system recalibrates in ways most women are never fully prepared for. And after birth, the postpartum phase can be one of the most overlooked and underserved stages of a woman’s health.
In this episode, I answer your most common questions, includ
Why IVF Isn’t Fixing the Fertility Crisis (and What Actually Will) | Dr. Ann Shippy

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. Every day, we’re exposed to chemicals in our food, water, air, and everyday products. Over time, that burden can disrupt hormones, damage mitochondria, drive inflammation, and overwhelm your body’s natural detox systems.

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.
Public schools are effectively the largest restaurant chain in America, serving 30 million children. For many of them, school meals account for half of their daily calories. And yet, a majority of those calories still come from ultra-processed food.
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with
