This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health , Joovv , LMNT , and Zero Acre . The daily activities of life revolve around our brain, and yet it is so easy to forget to prioritize the things we need to do in order for it to thrive. Our modern lifestyle can have many harmful effects on the brain, but it is possible to learn how to minimize the insults and get started on the path to better brain health. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Dale Bredesen, Jim Kwik, and Dr. Daniel Amen about why it’s...

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and BiOptimizers . We’re told that milk is a perfect food that we should drink daily—three glasses to be exact—in spite of a large (and growing) body of research showing its lack of benefits and awful side effects. Even though cow’s milk today contains dozens of reproductive hormones, allergenic proteins, antibiotics, and growth factors, some of which are known to promote cancer, the dairy industry wants us to believe that their cows are happily prod...

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health , Kettle & Fire , HigherDOSE , and AlgaeCal . Skeletal muscle is a widely overlooked part of our metabolic health. One of the most important factors for how much muscle we create and retain is our protein intake, which has become a divisive topic in the nutrition world and one still hotly debated in some dietary camps. My guest on today’s podcast, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, is the perfect person to sort through the facts about skeletal muscle and how to...

This episode is brought to you by ARMRA , ButcherBox , and AG1 . Gut health is not just about feeling your best. Your gut is the epicenter of your body and governs immune function, hormones, and nutrient absorption. Yet a whopping 74 percent of Americans claim they live with daily digestive discomfort, including suffering from constipation, which isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s a sign that something is wrong in the gut. In today’s episode, I talk with Dhru Purohit, Dr. George Papanicolaou, and Dr....

This episode is brought to you by Joovv and AG1 . Metabolic dysfunction is the largest health crisis facing the world today and our greatest limitation on longevity. An estimated 93% of Americans are in poor metabolic health and an estimated 88 million—more than a third of the adult population in the United States—have prediabetes. Of those, more than 84% have no idea they have a blood sugar problem, and yet up to 70% will develop diabetes within 10 years. In today’s episode of a new series I’m ...

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health , BiOptimizers , Kettle & Fire , and Sensate . Research has shown that the simple habit of sitting down for a meal with loved ones on a consistent basis can directly improve our food choices, reduce the negative effects of stress, and even improve our body composition. It’s not just what we eat, but how we eat, and with whom we’re eating that can make all the difference in the world. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to my good f...

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health , Beekeepers , and Cozy Earth . Inflammation is our body’s natural defense system and can be a good thing. However, when your immune system shifts out of balance, inflammation can run rampant—leading to every one of the major chronic diseases of aging: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia, and more. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Shilpa Ravella, Dr. Rupa Marya and Raj Patel, and Dhru Purohit about why chronic inflammation is a precursor to ...

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Levels . You may be surprised to learn that your lifestyle and food choices are much better indicators of your health and weight than your genes. While it is true that some genes can predispose you to obesity, type 2 diabetes, or heart disease, predisposition is not predestination. In fact, 90 percent of our current health is controlled by the environment in which we bathe our genes—the food we eat, our exercise regimen, our resilience in the fac...

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health , ButcherBox , Mitopure , and AlgaeCal . Loss is something we all have to deal with. But few of us are taught how to heal from these difficult experiences—a divorce, an accident, a miscarriage, a cancer diagnosis, losing the love of your life, or the death of a loved one. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I talk with my good friend, Kris Carr, about some of the greatest lessons she has learned through her own grief, and how even the most difficult losse...

Vitamin D, which works closely with magnesium, is a steroid hormone and is critical for proper immune function. It also helps support healthy inflammation levels and is important for supporting bone health, improving mood, reducing cancer risk, and reducing the severity of illnesses, including respiratory illnesse...

An all-too-large percentage of the population suffers from poor sleep, achy joints, feelings of fatigue, brain fog, and what I call FLC (“feel like crap”) syndrome. This epidemic has a number of factors, most of which are caused by our modern lifestyles and diets. But one of the major factors of such dysfunction is poor mitochondrial health.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health , Sensate , and Super Simple Protein . Epigenetics is the study of how our environment and behavior can influence which of our genes are turned on or off. That’s right—we’re born with many different genes, but that does not mean they are all active. Genes can be activated or silenced from so many different things, like what you eat, how you move, and how you restore your system. Your thoughts, feelings, and social connections even regulate your genes...

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health , Mitopure , and Super Simple Grassfed Protein . While anti-meat advocates and scientists have tried to scare Americans by linking meat to everything from cancer to heart disease, diabetes, and even obesity, research actually shows meat is a nutrient-dense food that can help prevent disease and nutritional deficiencies when you eat it with plenty of plants and vegetables (and not as part of the typical Western diet and lifestyle). That doesn’t mean t...

This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox , BiOptimizers , and Super Simple Grassfed Protein . Doctors often order lab tests based on specific concerns, which means potential issues from hormone imbalances to nutrient deficiencies can be overlooked. Routine physicals may not capture the full picture, leaving gaps in our understanding of heart disease, cancer, and more. Standard lab tests at a doctor's office aren't comprehensive enough. However, with robust, routine lab testing and personaliz...

Most of us are faced with endless pressures of work and family and a relentless barrage of tasks, to-dos, and requests, all while trying to manage our health, nutrition, and sleep. It’s easy to become overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, and burnt out. Feeling like crap has become pervasive in our society. In fact, in 2019, the World Health Organization added “burnout” as a diagnosable medical condition. Today on ...

Blood pressure is one of the key markers of metabolic health, yet high blood pressure is very common—and the numbers are growing. Moreover, 93 percent of Americans are metabolically unhealthy. In fact, high blood pressure is often called a silent killer as it can lead to conditions such as heart disease, kidney failure, and stroke, and many people don’t even know they have it. In today’s episod...

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health , Joovv , and Super Simple Grassfed Protein . The food industry wants us to believe that cooking is difficult, time-consuming, inconvenient, and expensive. And knowing we all have busy lives, fast food manufacturers and grocers lure us into convenient, heavily processed meals that take a toll on our waistline, our overall health, and, believe it or not, our budget. Today, over 50 percent of meals are consumed outside the home. We’ve raised several ge...

However, experiencing too much stress for too long, creates an intense demand for hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to be released. This can lead to adrenal fatigue, or adrenal dysfunction, which could result in burnout, fatigue, weight gain, and so much more. In today’s episode, I talk with Drs. Elizabeth Boham, Izabella Wentz, and Rangan Chatterjee about the l...

Unfortunately, most of it is misguided, outdated, and scientifically disproven. I’ve dedicated my career to finding and telling the truth about what makes us sick and fat and, most importantly, to the study of food as medicine and the science of creating health.
