A healthy liver helps your body clean your blood, combat toxic junk and chemicals in your environment, and much more. It is instrumental in keeping you from getting sick and helping you maintain plenty of energy. Unfortunately, however, 90 million Americans—and a growing number of individuals worldwide—have what is called “fatty liver disease,” which literally means your liver fills with fat. In t...

When it comes to diet, there's so much changing and conflicting information flying around that it can feel impossible to know where to look for sound advice. Decades of nutritional misguidance, lobbying, and corrupt food policies have only left us more confused when we head to the grocery store. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I talk to Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian about Food Compass, a new food rating system aimed to he...

Our first actions of the day can have profound health benefits. Practices such as getting natural daylight first thing in the morning, eating a breakfast that does not spike blood sugar, and developing a morning routine can give us balanced energy and make us more stress resilient all day. In today’s episode, I talk with Drs. Andrew Huberman, Elizabeth Boham, Casey Means, and Rangan Chatterjee about...

More than half of US adults are overweight or obese, and one in five children has been clinically diagnosed with obesity. What the heck is going on to cause this rapid decline in health that’s also impacting our children at such an alarming rate? Today on the podcast, I sit down with my friend and business partner Dhru Purohit for part two of our conversation. We ...

We can’t avoid getting older, but we can reduce biological aging—the internal process that creates all the symptoms of the disease we’ve come to call aging. That means we can be one age chronologically, and another internally. I’m happy to use myself as an example of what we can do to our biology when we take out negative inputs and embrace positive ones: I’m 63 years old but my biological age is 43. We are ...
Feb 22, 2023•1 hr 11 min•Ep 678•Transcript available on Metacast This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, ButcherBox, and InsideTracker. I focus a lot on the importance of diet and exercise when it comes to health and longevity, but daily habits like good sleep hygiene, healthy stress management, living out of a sense of purpose, prioritizing self-care, and community involvement are just as important. This is because your health and longevity are determined by your individual exposome washing over your genes. In other words, your genes are not your dest...
Feb 20, 2023•22 min•Ep 677•Transcript available on Metacast This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and BiOptimizers. It’s no surprise that physical movement is one of the best habits you can possibly adopt to live a longer, better life. Exercise (the right dose, type, and frequency) optimizes all biological systems. In fact, combined with the right diet, exercise is the most powerful tool for staying healthy and extending your life. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I dive into exactly how exercise benefits the body, ho...

If you’ve ever wondered if plant-based meat alternatives are nutritionally equal to real, pasture-raised meats, or if they are truly better for issues like inflammation and cardiovascular health, this is the episode for you. Meat has become such a monolithic topic when, in fact, it’s extremely complex and nuanced. We can’t just say all meat is good or no meat is good, it’s a matter of what types and sources of p...

It can be easy to fall into a food rut, eating the same things week in and week out. Consuming a variety of foods not only adds more excitement to your meals, but it’s also essential for expanding the nutritional diversity of your diet. There are thousands of phytochemicals, also called phytonutrients, found in whole foods like vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, spices, and tea, among many other things. These natur...
Feb 13, 2023•1 hr 12 min•Ep 674•Transcript available on Metacast This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Athletic Greens. Hormetic stressors are good stressors. These are actions that, in the right dose, have the power to lower inflammation, boost tissue repair and metabolism, and support our mitochondria. It’s like the saying goes: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Things like exercise and strength training, hot and cold therapies, light therapy, ozone, and others are all mild stressors that jump-start your body into repair and rejuvenation...
Feb 10, 2023•18 min•Ep 673•Transcript available on Metacast This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, InsideTracker, BiOptimizers. I bet most of us can relate to having negative thoughts on repeat, whether we’ve actually stopped to think about it or not. Our minds have been conditioned and can get stuck on auto-pilot, making us feel helpless, unhappy, and lost. But just like every other aspect of well-being, we need to exercise our mental patterns to show them positive patterns and avenues for growth and change. My guest on today’s episo...

A shocking 99 percent of Americans are nutrient deficient, including over 90 percent who are deficient in omega-3 fats and 50 percent who are deficient in magnesium. Add to that chronic stress and a heavily processed diet with foods lacking nutrition, and it’s a recipe for nutrient-deficiency disaster. In today’s episode, I talk with Chris Kresser, Dhru Purohit, and Dr. Elizabeth Boham about why so many of us are ...
Feb 06, 2023•1 hr 5 min•Ep 671•Transcript available on Metacast This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Athletic Greens. To understand and combat rapid aging, we need to understand what causes aging, chronic diseases, and decline. We call these things the hallmarks of aging—the underlying common pathways or mechanisms of aging. Each hallmark is influenced by the others and affected by various imbalances—too much or too little of certain inputs that can negatively impact the expression and progression of the hallmark. Understanding those interaction...

Many of us turn to food to cope with feelings, then we beat ourselves up. Personally, I’m guilty of turning to food when I’m exhausted and then feeling bad about not making great choices or eating when I wasn’t truly hungry. But what we don’t realize is that emotional eating is natural and inborn, and it’s not a matter of having too little willpower. The healing process means getting unstuck from negative patte...

Many people are confused about how much protein they should be eating and where to get it. Adequate protein is vital in building muscle mass, an essential component of maintaining a healthy weight. It’s also a key factor in reducing the risk of chronic disease, which improves our healthspan and longevity. Research shows that higher protein intake is correlated to better body composition, insulin control, satiation, and more. I...
Jan 30, 2023•41 min•Ep 667•Transcript available on Metacast This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and InsideTracker. What to eat for health has been a historically divisive topic, but it really shouldn’t be. If you want optimal health, you need to do just one thing: eat the foods that heal you and avoid the ones that harm you. The foundation of health and longevity is diet. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I discuss what to eat for longevity and how to focus on food as medicine. What I’ve discovered has blown my mind ...

Of all the things we do each day, breathing is arguably the most important. While breathing’s most important job is to literally keep us alive, breathing can help in many more ways than just survival, including activating your parasympathetic nervous system, which helps slow your heart rate and lower your blood pressure. In today’s episode, I talk with James Nestor, Dr. Louis Ignarro, Wim Hof, and Dr. Jim Gordon about us...

Exciting discoveries emerging from the field of aging research are pointing to a radically new approach to how we deal with getting older. Science is getting to the root cause of why aging is often accompanied by a decline in function and decrepitude. If we understand the why—the root causes and the changes they trigger in our biology, in our interconnected web of molecules and cells and tissues—then we can transform our health and we...

We’re in the midst of a psychedelic renaissance. Compounds that have long been considered recreational drugs by conventional standards are finally being recognized through science as powerful tools for overcoming hard-to-treat health issues, like PTSD, depression, addiction, and more. Mental health problems are the number one driver of indirect healthcare costs, loss of productivity, and diminished quali...

Until recently, the most popular approach to treating Alzheimer’s has been to focus on managing the symptoms in the brain. Now brain experts and neurologists know that a better, more effective approach to helping Alzheimer’s patients requires a full-body assessment with all-encompassing, highly individualized treatment that includes improving the microbiome, a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, hormonal balance, ad...
Jan 16, 2023•1 hr 14 min•Ep 660•Transcript available on Metacast This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and BiOptimizers. Modern medicine treats each individual disease as if it were a distinct entity separate from everything else that happens in the body. Rather than study the root causes and underlying mechanisms of aging, we look for drugs to block abnormal processes and suppress symptoms. Functional Medicine provides a new road map for healthy aging—one in which we don’t view all diseases of aging as different things. In today’s episode of my s...

Everyone has the intention to live well and feel happy, but so many of our choices deviate us from those goals. Investing our time and energy into our relationships might be the key. Loneliness is a main measure of unhappiness, and it also happens to be a stressor and risk factor for disease. I’m so excited to talk to Dr. Rober Waldinger on today’s podcast episode, all about fostering better relationships to live ...

When it is out of balance and our insulin spikes, it can set us up for health problems down the road. Luckily, there are many simple, realistic hacks that can help to successfully manage blood sugar without leaving you feeling deprived. In today’s episode, I talk with Jessie Inchauspé, Max Lugav...
