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 o...

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 pren...

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...

Peptides are everywhere right now—touted as tools for weight loss, muscle growth, faster recovery, and even longevity. But what are they actually, and do they live up to the hype? In this episode of Office Hours, I break down the science behind peptides, how they influence the body’s signaling systems, and how to think about them wisely within a functional medicine approach. In this episode, I cover: • How peptides act as signalin...

For decades, midlife has been framed as a time of decline for women — medically, culturally, and personally. Halle Berry is on a mission to change that. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, she shares how her own menopause journey exposed how little real support exists for the 60 million women navigating this transition. That experience ultimately led her to create ReSpin, the community she couldn’t find when she needed it. Wat...

Most of us think chronic disease is just about food, genetics, or aging. But there’s another major driver most doctors never talk about: your total toxic load. Every day, we’re exposed to chemicals in our food, water, air, and everyday products. Over time, that burden can disrupt hormones, damage mitochondria, drive inflammation, and overwhelm your body’s natural detox systems. This episode isn’t about fear—it’s about clarity. Be...

If you’ve ever said, “I know my patterns — so why can’t I change them?” the answer may not be in your mind, but in your body. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Nicole LePera, The Holistic Psychologist, to explore how early experiences become your body’s default state—shaping your stress response, your relationships, and your risk for chronic disease. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherev...

Most people think lab tests are only useful once something is wrong. But what if your blood work could show you where your health is headed—years before disease ever develops? In today’s Office Hours, I break down how to read your labs through a functional medicine lens—so you can spot early dysfunction, connect the dots between symptoms and biomarkers, and take control of your health before problems escalate. In this episode, I w...

For much of our lives, performance is measured in speed, strength, and output. As we get older, the equation changes. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Sir David Beckham and Dr. Dawn Mussallem to explore what elite sport, stage IV cancer, and heart transplantation can teach us about prevention—and what it really takes to sustain health over time. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you g...

Injury has a way of humbling you. One minute you’re strong and capable, and the next you’re struggling to do the simplest things—walking, sleeping, even brushing your teeth. I know this firsthand. After six back surgeries and more than a few serious setbacks, I’ve learned that healing isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you actively create. In today’s Office Hours, I share what I’ve learned not just as a doctor, but as a ...

If we want to fix food, we have to fix the institutions shaping what our kids eat every day. Public schools are effectively the largest restaurant chain in America, serving 30 million children. For many of them, school meals account for half of their daily calories. And yet, a majority of those calories still come from ultra-processed food. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Nora LaTorre, CEO of Eat Real, to t...

For years, we’ve been told that overeating is a problem of willpower, and if we just tried harder, we’d eat less and feel better. But the science tells a very different story. In today’s Office Hours, I reframe the conversation around cravings and overeating—replacing shame and self-blame with science, clarity, and practical solutions. In this episode I share: • Why food addiction is driven by brain chemistry, not lack of discipl...

Too often, we focus on treating symptoms without fully understanding the systems underneath them—or the conditions that allow the body to function well in the first place. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Fidji Simo, CEO of Applications at OpenAI, to explore how AI could help us shift medicine from treating symptoms to restoring systems. We talk about why chronic illness is so often misunderstood, how health ...

For decades, we’ve been told that high cholesterol is the main driver of heart disease—and that lowering LDL should be the primary goal. But as science has evolved, so has my thinking. In today’s Office Hours, I explain why cholesterol alone doesn’t tell the full story, what most doctors still aren’t testing, and what’s really driving heart disease for the majority of people. Today we discuss: • Why many people have heart attacks...

Around the world, we’re seeing declining sperm counts, rising infertility, more erectile dysfunction, and lower testosterone—even in younger men. These trends aren’t just affecting family planning; they’re pointing to something much bigger happening in men’s health. Joining me today on The Dr. Hyman Show is Dr. Michael Eisenberg, a Stanford researcher and leading voice in male reproductive health. We talk about why sperm quality ...

What’s Really Driving Infertility—and What You Can Do About It Fertility struggles are far more common than most people realize—and far more complex than we’re often told. Today I answer listener-submitted questions on fertility, hormone balance, and preparing your body for conception. Here’s what I cover: • Why infertility is rising and what’s really driving it • The hidden role of blood sugar, inflammation, and toxins in hormon...

On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Robert Hedaya, a psychiatrist who has spent decades working at the intersection of biology, brain function, and mental health. His approach starts with a different question than most psychiatry asks: what’s interfering with the brain’s ability to regulate, adapt, and repair itself? We talk about why many mental health diagnoses describe symptoms without explaining causes—a...

In this Office Hours episode, I break down what the government finally got right about food, where the new guidelines still fall short, and—most importantly—how to apply them in real life without confusion or overwhelm. For the first time in decades, there’s meaningful progress: a recognition that ultra-processed foods are harming us, that protein matters for optimal health, and that nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all. But there’s s...

Longevity isn’t just about what you eat or how you train—it’s really more about whether you believe your body is worth investing in. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m joined by my longtime friend and colleague Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to explore why muscle may be one of the most overlooked drivers of long-term health. We focus on practical, accessible ways to build strength as you age, and why muscle plays a much bigger role in...

What Should I Actually Eat? Diet confusion is everywhere. But the truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all diet. The best diet is the one that works for your biology. In this Office Hours episode, I answer your most common diet questions and break down the core principles everyone should understand before choosing how to eat. In this episode I break down: • Why the “best diet” is personalized—and why ideology should never override ...
