Is your ‘healthy’ breakfast actually dessert in disguise? Why is it that so many of us are struggling these days with our metabolic health? What is the relationship between our food and mood? And, what is the real deal with detox?

My guest today is someone, who for many years, has been leading a global health revolution, one revolved around using food as medicine, to support longevity, energy, mood and happiness.

Dr Mark Hyman has been a practising medical doctor for several decades and an internationally recognised leader, speaker and educator in the field of Functional Medicine. He is co-founder and the chief medical officer of Function Health, founder of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine and the author of an incredible fifteen New York Times best-selling books.

This is Mark’s 4th appearance on my podcast and in today’s conversation we cover a variety of fascinating topics, including:

• The science of metabolic health
• How to break your reliance on sugar
• The connection between food and mood
• The multiple benefits of starting your day with protein
• The 10-Day food plan that can transform your energy, mood and digestion
• The problem that many people face with modern wheat and dairy
• The truth about food addiction
• The simple but effective method that can enhance the way you eliminate environmental toxins.

Throughout our conversation, Mark's passion for empowering people to take charge of their health shines through. His accessible, evidence-based approach offers practical steps anyone can take. As he reminds us, small daily improvements in diet, movement and stress management compound over time – and it's never too late to start.

Address food addiction as a global health crisis

A global study found that 14% of the world's population, including children, is biologically addicted to food, a rate similar to adult alcoholism.

Access over 100 biomarkers for comprehensive health insights

The company Function Health offers direct-to-consumer access to over 100 biomarkers for $499, providing a deep dive into your biology that you wouldn't get from a typical doctor.

Avoid handling thermal paper receipts to reduce BPA exposure

The thermal paper used for credit card and gas receipts is coated in BPA, a hormone-disrupting chemical that can be absorbed through your skin.

Question normal lab results to find optimal health levels

Lab reference ranges for 'normal' are based on an unhealthy population; for example, the normal range for fasting insulin can be up to 18, but the optimal level is 5 or less.

Utilize insulin resistance score for simple health measurement

A new test called an insulin resistance score, which uses fasting insulin and C-peptide levels, is a revolutionary and simple way to measure this key health marker.

Recognize pre-autoimmunity risk in one-third of individuals

Out of 150,000 members tested by Function Health, a shocking 33% have a positive ANA, which is a marker for pre-autoimmune disease.

Eliminate all potential inflammatory foods to identify triggers

To identify food triggers, it's a fallacy to remove just one thing at a time; you must unload the whole system by removing all potential inflammatory foods at once.

#nutrition

Understand modern wheat and dairy's inflammatory effects

Modern dwarf wheat has significantly more inflammatory gluten proteins, and modern cows produce a more inflammatory A1 casein protein, explaining increased sensitivities.
