Welcome to The Doctor's Farmacy

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.

Carrying excess weight around your midsection can be frustrating, especially if you maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Yet, millions of people worldwide struggle with their weight, 
It is crucial to understand that belly fat is more than just a layer under your clothes. It is an active endocrine organ that secretes pro-inflammatory cytokines throughout the body, contributing to our risk for chronic diseases.
It's important to recognize that this is not a reflection of personal failure. Our modern-day lifestyles are overloaded with stress, environmental toxins, and convenience foods that actively work against us. In today’s episode, we will explore visceral fat (a.k.a. belly fat), the factors that contribute to it, and how to address it using the principles of Functional Medicine effectively.
In this episode, I dive into:

Understanding belly fat and obesity (2:51) 

The role of diet and lifestyle in the accumulation of belly fat (10:48) 

The impact of sleep, alcohol, and stress on weight gain (19:14) 

What are obesogens, and how do they make us gain weight? (21:44)

Health risks associated with visceral fat and belly fat (23:05) 

Where does conventional medicine miss the mark? (24:14)

Functional medicine's approach to assessing and addressing visceral fat (26:38) 

Dietary and lifestyle changes to reduce visceral fat (30:52)

A declining mind is one of the scariest things we can imagine. Yet, many of us walk around every day with brain fog, which is a clue that our brains (and our bodies) need some support. Left unchecked, there can be long-term consequences, and not just for your brain. The good news is that changes to diet, reducing toxic burden and stress, improving sleep and gut health, and getting good movement can work wonders to clear up any fogginess.
In this episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Todd LePine and Max Lugavere about the Functional Medicine approach to reducing brain fog.

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)
