In our recent Health Bites episodes, we’ve delved into the research on how our dietary choices and lifestyle impact our hormones and sexual health. From disruption caused by our sugar-heavy diets to the stressors of modern life and invisible threats of environmental toxins, our hormones often bear the brunt of our daily decisions. The good news is that there are many things we can do to bring our hormones and sexual health back in balance. 

Today, I'm delighted to bring back a standout Health Bites episode, which offers a brief overview of our sexual health series along with actionable strategies to enhance your sexual health, starting now.

How Your Sex Drive Is Influenced By Hormones, Diet, and Lifestyle

We are seeing an ever-increasing burden of chronic disease, primarily driven by our food and food system. This is perpetuated by agricultural, food, and health care policies that don’t support health. We need to rethink disease and reimagine a food system and a health care system the protects health, unburdens the economy from the weight of obesity and chronic disease, protects the environment, helps reverse climate change, and creates a nation of healthy children and citizens. This podcast is a place for deep conversations about the critical issues of our time in the space of health, wellness, food, and politics. New episodes are released every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. I hope you'll join me.

Each bite of food we eat has the potential to modulate our genetics and impact every cell of the body—don’t you want those levers to be moving in the right direction? Eating for health is one thing, but eating to beat disease is an even more intentional step toward prevention and longevity. I was so excited to sit down with internationally renowned physician, scientist, and author Dr. William Li to discuss how we can leverage food to optimize every system of the body. 
We dig into:

How Dr. Li got interested in “Food As Medicine” while developing cancer treatments 

Why eating to beat disease is not the same as eating for health

What food would Dr. Li bring with him if he was going to be stuck on an island?

One thing Dr. Li knows everyone needs to do better

Is dairy good or bad?

What’s the deal with soy? 

The 5 defense systems to support optimal health and Dr. Li’s 5 x 5 x 5 plan 

We talk about this and so much more. I know you’ll love this conversation as much as I did!

Your gut microbiome is your inner garden—the more good bugs you have in it, the more likely it is to flourish. Our gut bacteria regulate many bodily functions, from creating vitamins to controlling our immune system, brain function, and, of course, our metabolism and weight. 
In this episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Shawn Stevenson about the ways in which our gut influences the health of our body, and alternately, how our lifestyle choices affect our gut health.

Food has become a more complex part of our lives than ever before. Much of what we think is food is actually many ingredients disguised as food, with entirely different, often negative impacts on the human body. Sadly, this is a greater problem here in the US than in other parts of the world, thanks to the food industry, corrupt intentions, and broken policies. Today, I talk about all this and more with my guest Jason Karp, whose personal experience of nearly going blind due to a toxic lifestyle led him to discover a different way; he made it his mission to get “back to human.”
In this episode, we discuss:

Jason’s personal health journey and why that has prompted him to take on the campaign against Kellogg’s (7:53)

The unhealthy state of America’s food industry (22:42)

How Kellogg’s has one cereal formulation for Canada and another for the US that is full of chemicals (26:07)

The correlation between food dyes and ADHD, and the failure of Kellogg's pledge (29:04)

The political aspect of food regulation and dangers of unregulated food additives (32:55)

Why we are in a state of metacrisis and what that means for our future (37:18)

The bidirectional relationship between food and mental health (46:04)

The financial burden of healthcare on the US government due to unhealthy diets (53:52)

Supporting the Kellogg's Initiative: Sign the Petition (1:06:03)



We have a lot to do to shift our food system and eliminate harmful ingredients in the US, but there are ways to enact positive change starting today. We can all support a cleaner food industry and better health by voting with our dollar, purchasing real food, and getting involved in policy policy changes. I hope you’ll listen to this episode to learn more.

Obesity rates are at an all-time high, even in our children, despite the common recommendation to eat less and exercise more. While calories may be one piece of the puzzle, weight is so much more nuanced than that including factors such as mother’s metabolic health during pregnancy, chemicals called obesogens, inflammation, hormones, and more.
In this episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Calley Means, and Dr. Casey Means about the obesity crisis, how we got here, and what we can do about it.
