The Doctor's Farmacy with Mark Hyman, M.D.

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 there isn’t a dark side to eating meat, but there are good scientific and health-minded reasons to eat high-quality, organic, grass-fed, sustainably raised meat as part of an overall healthy diet.In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I discuss why meat is such a contentious food, whether meat really contributes to global warming, and how to make the most informed decision about purchasing and eating meat. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Mitopure, and Super Simple Grassfed Protein.Access more than 3,000 specialty lab tests with Rupa Health.

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 personalized insights from top medical experts, we can finally understand and manage our health. This proactive approach represents the future of your healthcare.I co-founded Function Health alongside Pranitha Patil and others. I was excited to sit down with her for this episode. Our mission is to empower people to live 100 healthy years. In our conversation, we dive deep into the importance of individualized health information, exploring topics like comprehensive cardiovascular, autoimmunity, thyroid testing, and much more.Pranitha made a bold move, leaving Harvard University's graduate school early to build Function Health. Her extensive background at Accenture saw her working closely with the largest hospital systems and health insurance providers, where she witnessed the problems with healthcare from the inside. More personally, Pranitha's own health challenges inspired her to prioritize giving people the power to own their health.Function is the first-ever membership offering access to over 100+ lab tests.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, AG1, Beekeepers, and Super Simple Grassfed Protein. 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 episode, I talk with Dr. George Papanicolaou and Dr. Cindy Geyer about the seriousness of high blood pressure, the misconceptions around salt intake and blood pressure, what foods and supplements support healthy blood pressure, and overall metabolic health.Dr. George Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is board certified in family medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital.

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 generations of Americans who don’t know how to cook. And it’s killing us.In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I discuss how to reconnect with your kitchen and just how inexpensive eating healthy and preparing your own food can be. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Joovv, and Super Simple Grassfed Protein.Access more than 3,000 specialty lab tests with Rupa Health.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, AG1, and Super Simple Grassfed Protein.It’s time to think about immunity in a new way. There’s been a lot of focus recently on “boosting” your immune system. However, boosting immunity merely exaggerates all the defects of an aging immune system, whereas rejuvenation reboots immunity from your cells up. Rejuvenation is way more foundational and longer lasting than a basic boost because it uses your built-in programming to rebalance and optimize that system’s function. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I dive into immuno-rejuvenation—what it is, how it happens in the body, and my top strategies for switching it on. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Super Simple Grassfed Protein.Access more than 3,000 specialty lab tests with Rupa Health.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, LMNT, and Cozy Earth.Heart disease is still the number one killer in the world, yet most people don’t actually understand what markers put them most at risk. The general consensus is there are two types of cholesterol—the good and the bad—the good is thought to be high-density lipoproteins or HDL, and the bad is low-density lipoproteins or LDL. But we now know from research that it's much more complicated than that—there are actually various sizes and densities of these lipoproteins. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to one of the leading lipidologists, Dr. Ronald Krauss, all about lipoproteins, what they do in the body, what they mean for heart disease risk, and why a typical lipid panel alone is insufficient.Dr. Krauss is a Senior Scientist at Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute, a Professor of Medicine at UCSF, and an Adjunct Professor of Nutritional Sciences at UC Berkeley. Dr. Krauss’s research aims to understand how to best prevent cardiovascular disease through early detection and management of its major risk factors: most notably, elevated levels of blood cholesterol and lipoproteins. He has published over 450 research articles and reviews on metabolic, genetic, dietary, and drug effects on plasma lipoproteins and the risk of coronary artery disease, with over 100,000 citations of this work.This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, LMNT, and Cozy Earth.Access more than 3,000 specialty lab tests with Rupa Health.
