Why Chronic Disease is Exploding w/ Daniel Schmachtenberger
Mark Hyman
Jul 2, 2025
Episode description
I recently sat down with Daniel Schmachtenberger, a strategist and founding voice behind The Consilience Project, to explore the deeper systems fueling today’s chronic disease epidemic.
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, Daniel shares a powerful perspective on how modern life impacts our health and what it will take to create lasting change.
Here’s what we cover:
• Why chronic disease today is largely “man-made” and what that actually means
• How pollution, industrial systems, and healthcare itself are quietly driving illness
• Why medical stats can be misleading and how to think beyond symptom management
• What it will take to build a system that prioritizes prevention and real well-being
This episode offers a rare lens on the systems shaping our well-being. I hope it sparks new insights and inspires action.
