In this episode of “Edge of My Seat,” host and founder of TUSHY, Miki Agrawal, sits down with Dr. Mark Hyman, 14-time New York Times bestselling author and founder of Function Health, to explore the personal collapse that led to a revolution in how he understands—and practices—medicine.

We dive into a dark chapter in his 30s: a failing marriage, two young children, and a body so broken by stress and illness that he could barely function. As he fought to stay afloat - physically, mentally, and emotionally - he reached a breaking point where even continuing felt impossible.

Dr. Hyman shares how that rock-bottom moment planted the seeds for functional medicine, a field he would go on to pioneer. He opens up about the connection between emotional trauma and chronic disease, and how a systems-based approach to health can help people reclaim their lives.

Plus, we talk about the miracles he’s witnessed in his work - reversing conditions once thought incurable - and the mission that drives him to keep going: making sure no one suffers without knowing that healing is possible.

Edge of My Seat is a raw, riveting podcast about life’s messiest moments—and what it really takes to clean them up. Hosted by taboo-smasher and TUSHY founder Miki Agrawal, each two-part episode kicks off with an unfiltered Cybertruck joyride, then dives into a soul-baring conversation about rock bottom—careers lost, identities unraveled, hearts shattered.

It’s a no-holds-barred journey from breakdown to breakthrough, with bold thinkers and cultural rebels getting radically honest about the shit that changed everything—and the emotional hygiene it took to rise again.

Edge of My Seat is a metaphorical bidet for the human experience: blasting through the residue of life’s darkest moments, and coming out the other side cleaner, clearer, and more whole.

Because sometimes, the mess is where the magic begins.
