  • Depressed or Anxious? You May Never Eat Sugar Again After Listening To This

    Excess sugar consumption is one of the deadliest drugs of our time, and it’s virtually ubiquitous in our modern-day industrialized food system. Everywhere you turn, there’s sugar—from blended coffees to protein bars, drinks, dressings, snacks, and everything in between. Even seemingly “healthy” packaged foods often contain heaps of added sugar, and its impact has proven catastrophic for our mental and metabolic health.

    As the other white powder, sugar hijacks our brain chemistry, making us addicted, inflamed, sick, and depressed. But the good news is that most of the health issues that arise from eating too much sugar can be completely reversed in as little as 14 days.

    In today’s Health Bites episode, we’re exploring the research connecting sugar addiction to poor mental health and what you can do to clean up the excess sugar to reclaim your health and feel better, and more energized.

    In this episode, I discuss:

    • The prevalence of sugar in our diet and its impact on mental health (2:00)
    • Hidden sources of sugar in our diets (7:27)
    • How sugar affects our mood and brain function (11:42)
    • How insulin resistance leads to systemic inflammation and changes in mood (16:16)
    • Strategies to reduce sugar intake for better mental health (20:41)
    • The role of supplements, exercise, stress, and sleep in blood sugar management (26:40)

      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.

            I'm turning 65 this year and feel younger, fitter, and more vibrant than ever. Thanks to my longevity routine, I’ve been able to reverse my biological age by 20 years, plus an additional year in the past five months alone!

            As I grow older, I’ve learned that what’s possible when we nourish our bodies, get regular exercise, quality sleep, and manage our stress – we can effectively turn back our biological clock. Add a supplement stack and hormetic stressors to activate our longevity switches, and you’re setting a solid foundation for lasting health. So, how does someone in their 60s build muscle and sport abs that could rival their younger selves? 

            In today’s Health Bites episode, I’m sharing the exclusive details behind my longevity routine that anyone can try on their journey towards a healthier, longer life. Whether you want to sharpen your mind, enhance your physique, or simply feel younger, this episode is for you. Remember, it’s not just about adding years to your life, but life to your years. 

            In this episode, I discuss:

            • My morning routine for longevity (2:46)
            • How I get the benefits of exercise in minimal time (3:23)
            • A look at the ingredients in my Healthy Aging Shake (5:54)
            • What I eat in a day (lunch and dinner) to support longevity (11:46)
            • The role of dietary protein for longevity and how much to eat every day(15:03)
            • How to activate your longevity switches using the power of hormesis (23:00)
            • Top tips for active relaxation and rejuvenation (28:51)

              Like most things in life, when it comes to optimizing metabolic health, a nuanced perspective can help. Rather than viewing it as a black-and-white issue, we can take into consideration the big-picture social context we’re facing that encourages ultra-processed foods, obesity, and lifelong medication as well as the micro-level of what people are experiencing as individuals and understanding how to help them when all else fails. Today I’m thrilled to sit down with Dr. Tyna Moore and Calley Means for a grounded discussion that explores both sides of the spectrum, and everything in between. 

              In this episode, we discuss:

              • The controversial discussion of GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, weighing the pros and cons of these new drugs in treating obesity and metabolic crises (3:34)
              • Challenging the notion of treating obesity with drugs like Ozempic (10:35)
              • An unsettling revelation about the push for using Ozempic in children (12:04)
              • Digging deeper into GLP-1 research and some of the benefits (32:51)
              • Why are children being born metabolically challenged? (41:11)
              • Dr. Moore’s approach to using peptides with her patients and for her own crippling pain, and what they’ve seen (45:19)
              • How our current healthcare system lacks policies and support for behavior change (1:27)

              • While there are always differing views, we know for sure that our food and drug policies aren’t serving the best interests of creating sustainable, empowered health for the masses. I hope you’ll tune in to hear more from this comprehensive and lively discussion.

                • Definition, examples, and deceptive health claims of ultra-processed food (2:06)
