Mar 15, 2021•39 min•Transcript available on Metacast Believe it or not, food can be a powerful tool to improve our mood and brain health; it can actually make us happier. Every single brain disorder—depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, dementia, behavior problems, violence, and just plain old brain fog—is linked to diet, and often to the impact of our diet on our gut microbiome. Yet most people don’t realize the profound connection between what we eat and our brain function. In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman discusses how to eat to boost your mood, th...

A Conversation With California’s EPA Secretary | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers , Thrive Market , and Beekeepers Naturals We’re divorced from nature and disconnected from wild places.

Yet people are so resistant to acknowledging climate change and what needs to...

It can also lead t...
Mar 08, 2021•31 min•Transcript available on Metacast The gut microbiome is likely the most important regulator of our overall health. Unfortunately, our modern diet, gut-busting lifestyle, environmental toxins, and other factors all feed the bad bugs in our gut and drive inflammation, which is at the root of almost all chronic diseases and obesity. Sixty percent of our immune system is in our gut, right under a one-cell thin layer of gut lining. When we treat this lining unkindly, we develop a leaky gut, allowing food proteins, microbes, and micro...

I think as humans we need a mass recogn...

Mar 01, 2021•42 min•Transcript available on Metacast Food is not just calories or energy; food is information, instructions that upgrade or downgrade your biology with every bite. Think of it like code that programs your software. Your hardware is your genes. Your software is how those genes are turned on or off. Food regulates not only your genes but also your hormones, like insulin, testosterone, estrogen, and thyroid. It alters your brain chemistry, producing happy chemicals, and it can even trigger addictive patterns. So how can you personaliz...
Feb 26, 2021•19 min•Transcript available on Metacast Why Eliminating Meat From Our Diet Isn’t The Solution To Climate Change | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers , Thrive Market , and BLUBlox Human health is dependent on planetary health.

While we don’t have all the answers, and more research is n...
Feb 22, 2021•46 min•Transcript available on Metacast Our agriculture system is destructive— for the earth and for human health. The food produced by industrial agriculture leads to at least 11 million deaths a year and drives our obesity epidemic. We need to build a regenerative system—one that regenerates the earth and human health. Regenerative agriculture is more profitable for farmers, produces higher yields, and better-quality food. When we vote with our dollars and our forks by choosing regeneratively grown food, we send a message to Big Foo...
Feb 19, 2021•17 min•Transcript available on Metacast Reflections On Living An Authentic Life | This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley , ButcherBox , and Four Sigmatic I was lucky enough to learn at a young age that we can write our own stories.

It can also be related to autoimmune issues, diabetes, hypertension, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, autism, and many ...
Feb 15, 2021•49 min•Transcript available on Metacast Fat has been unfairly vilified for decades. The truth is that the right fats can make you healthy and lean, and can fuel your brain, while the wrong fats can be deadly. Unlike sugar, which is pretty much all bad, fats are complicated. Some people thrive on a high-fat diet, while others gain weight and struggle with abnormal cholesterol. However, even though fats are complicated, eating a fat-free diet is not good for your health. We need fats to survive. In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman discusses...

Feb 08, 2021•41 min•Transcript available on Metacast The truth about meat is more nuanced than whether it is good or bad. While factory-farmed red meat is an environmental and climate catastrophe, is inhumane, and may have adverse health consequences, this is not true of meat from regeneratively raised animals. The real question we should be asking is, is meat healthy or harmful? In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman discusses how to eat meat as medicine, the fifth principle in his new book, “The Pegan Diet: 21 Practical Principles for Reclaiming Your H...
