April 13 What It Really Means to Regulate Your Nervous System—and How to Start
If you’re doing everything “right”—eating well, taking supplements, working on your health—but still feel stuck, this might be the missing piece. Your body cannot heal if it thinks it’s under threat. In this episode, we unpack why your nervous system may be the hidden driver behind inflammation, hormone imbalance, weight gain, and more—and how to finally shift your body into healing mode.
Here’s what could be keeping you stuck:
• Why chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation can block healing—even when everything else is “on point”
• How your nervous system impacts your gut, hormones, metabolism, immune system, and weight
• The difference between feeling “tired but wired” vs. true resilience and what a regulated system actually looks like
• Simple, science-backed ways to regulate your nervous system through blood sugar, breath, sleep, and daily habits
You can’t out-supplement or out-diet a body that feels unsafe. But when you learn how to regulate your nervous system, you unlock your body’s natural ability to repair, rebalance, and heal.

April 08 NBA Legend Chris Paul on Longevity, Nutrition & Staying Elite at 40
Longevity isn’t just about talent—it’s about what you’re willing to change when your body starts asking for something different.
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m joined by Chris Paul—one of the most respected point guards of all time—to talk about the mindset that’s carried him through more than two decades in the NBA. We get into what shifted along the way and what it really takes to keep showing up at a high level year after year.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
Here’s what we cover:
• Why what worked in your 20s stops working and what to do instead
• How inflammation shows up and what improves when you address it
• Why stress and poor sleep quietly drain energy and slow recovery
• What simple habits actually move the needle over time
• How understanding your data helps you make better daily decisions
Your body is always giving you signals. The earlier you begin to listen and respond, the more it can support you over time.

April 06 How to Reduce Seasonal Allergies Starting This Week
Seasonal allergies aren’t just about pollen—and if you’re only treating symptoms, you’re missing the real problem. What if your allergies are actually a sign that your immune system is out of balance? In this episode, we break down what’s really driving allergy symptoms and what you can do now to calm your immune system at the root.
Here’s what you need to know before this allergy season gets worse:
• Why allergies are a sign of immune dysfunction—not just a reaction to pollen
• The hidden role of gut health, inflammation, and your microbiome in driving symptoms
• Key nutrient deficiencies and environmental exposures that make allergies worse
• A functional medicine approach to reducing symptoms naturally by restoring balance and not just blocking histamine
You don’t have to suffer through allergy season every year. When you address the root causes, you can retrain your immune system, reduce your reactivity, and build long-term resilience.

April 01 Breast Implants Are Making Women Sick—Here's What's Happening | Dr. Jonathan Kanevsky
Breast implants may have become increasingly common—but for some women, the experience doesn’t always unfold the way they expected.
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Jonathan Kanevsky, a board-certified plastic surgeon who made the decision to stop performing breast implant procedures after years of listening closely to his patients. We explore what he started seeing, how to approach this decision, and what alternatives are now available.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
You’ll learn:
• How to tell if your symptoms may be connected to breast implants
• What to consider before deciding to remove them
• Why recovery after explant looks different for everyone
• What safer, more natural alternatives are available today
• How to support your body before and after surgery for better recovery
This is a complex and deeply personal decision. My hope is that understanding the full picture helps you make a more informed one.

March 30 Why Endometriosis Keeps Coming Back (And How to Break the Cycle)
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women yet it often takes years to diagnose, and many are told their pain is “normal” or simply treated with birth control or surgery.
But endometriosis isn’t just a hormone issue—it’s a whole-body condition driven by inflammation, immune dysfunction, gut health, and environmental exposures. In this episode, we break down what’s really causing it and what you can do to address it at the root. I’m joined by my longtime colleague and friend, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Medical Director and Functional Medicine Physician at The UltraWellness Center.
Here’s what we break down:
• Why endometriosis is not just a gynecologic condition and the root causes most doctors miss
• The hidden role of gut health, inflammation, and the microbiome in driving symptoms
• How estrogen imbalance and environmental toxins (xenoestrogens) fuel the condition
• A functional medicine approach to reducing pain and preventing recurrence beyond medication or surgery
If you’re struggling with endometriosis or unresolved symptoms and want a more personalized, root-cause approach, you can learn more about becoming a patient at The UltraWellness Center here: https://www.ultrawellnesscenter.com/becoming-a-patient/

March 25 Your Baby's Metabolism is Being Decided Right Now | Jessie Inchauspé
Pregnancy is often filled with anticipation, excitement, and a lot of questions. But biologically, it’s also a powerful window when a baby’s metabolism and long-term health begin to take shape.
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with biochemist and bestselling author Jessie Inchauspé about how nutrition during pregnancy can influence a baby’s development and long-term health. Her new book, 9 Months That Count Forever, takes a closer look at the science behind these connections.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
We discuss:
• Why pregnancy may be one of the most important windows for shaping lifelong health
• Why balancing blood sugar during pregnancy matters—and simple ways to reduce glucose spikes
• The nutrients that matter most during pregnancy, from choline and protein to omega-3s
• How to make healthier choices during pregnancy without added stress or confusion
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about understanding what matters most and making small, consistent choices that support both you and your baby.

March 23 Office Hours: The Fiber Trend—How Much Is Too Much?
Fiber is having a moment—but more isn’t always better. From “fiber maxing” trends to high-fiber hacks promising weight loss and better metabolism, it’s easy to assume that piling on more fiber is the answer. In this episode of Office Hours, I break down what fiber actually does in the body, who benefits most from increasing it, and how to use it strategically to support your gut and metabolic health.
In this episode, I break down:
• What fiber actually does in the body—from feeding your microbiome to regulating blood sugar, cholesterol, and hormones
• Who benefits most from increasing fiber (and why it can support weight loss, insulin sensitivity, and estrogen balance)
• When more fiber can make things worse—especially with IBS, SIBO, or gut inflammation
• How to increase fiber the right way, including types of fiber, timing, hydration, and why protein still matters
Fiber isn’t a trend or a quick fix—it’s a foundational nutrient. But the goal isn’t to “max out” your intake. It’s to build metabolic and gut resilience by giving your body the right types and amounts it actually needs. When used correctly, fiber can be one of the most powerful tools for long-term health—but only when it’s personalized to your biology.

March 18 The Skill No One Teaches Us About Love | Baya Voce
Falling in love can be easy. Staying connected when conflict and stress show up is where the real work begins.
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with relationship repair expert Baya Voce to explore why healthy relationships aren’t defined by the absence of conflict, but by the ability to repair and reconnect—and why repair depends as much on nervous system regulation as communication.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
Here’s what we unpack:
• Why conflict isn’t the real problem in relationships—and what actually keeps couples connected
• What happens in the body during arguments, and why nervous system regulation matters more than the “right” words
• How past relationship wounds and attachment patterns shape the way we react during conflict
• Practical ways couples can repair after conflict and reconnect more quickly
When couples learn how to repair after conflict, even difficult moments can become opportunities for deeper connection and growth.

March 16 Office Hours: Your Pregnancy & Postpartum Questions Answered
Pregnancy doesn’t just change your life—it transforms your entire biology.
Hormones shift, metabolism adapts, nutrient needs increase, and your nervous system recalibrates in ways most women are never fully prepared for. And after birth, the postpartum phase can be one of the most overlooked and underserved stages of a woman’s health.
In this episode, I answer your most common questions, including:
• How to choose the right prenatal vitamins—including why methylated folate matters and the difference between folate and folic acid
• Natural ways to manage common pregnancy symptoms like nausea, heartburn, sciatica, and fatigue
• Key nutrition strategies during pregnancy to support both mother and baby
• What happens during postpartum—from hormone and thyroid shifts to hair loss, immune changes, pelvic floor recovery, and C-section healing
Pregnancy and postpartum aren’t separate events—they’re part of a continuous biological transition that affects hormones, metabolism, and overall health. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s understanding what your body is going through and supporting it with the right nutrients, habits, and care so you can recover, rebuild, and thrive.

March 11 Why IVF Isn’t Fixing the Fertility Crisis (and What Actually Will) | Dr. Ann Shippy
Fertility struggles are often treated as a problem to solve only after they appear. But what if they’re actually a signal from the body that something deeper needs attention?
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with functional medicine physician Dr. Ann Shippy, author of The Preconception Revolution, to talk about why the months—even years—before conception may shape not only your health, but your future child’s long-term health as well.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
In this conversation, we explore:
• What fertility challenges may be signaling about your health, and why infertility may be the body’s “check engine light”
• Why the 3–36 month preconception window can shape fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and your child’s long-term health
• How just three weeks of ultra-processed food can change sperm quality, and what that reveals about fertility
• What couples can start doing now to improve fertility, from strengthening metabolic health to reducing toxic exposures
• How preparing your body before pregnancy may reduce your child’s risk of chronic disease later in life
Preparing for pregnancy isn’t just about fertility. Many of the factors that influence fertility are within your control, and your body often responds in remarkable ways.
