Today, I am talking to Mark Hyman, MD. Dr. Hyman is the director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, and founder and director of The Ultra-Wellness Center. He is the bestselling author of numerous books, including Eat Fat, Get Thin, The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet, and The Blood Sugar Solution. Dr. Hyman talks about the ultimate benefit of eating the right food for our body. He explains the right ingredients we need to be mindful of for optimal health, the core systems in our body responsible for keeping it healthy, how healing doesn’t just involve one aspect of the body but the entirety to reformat your system, and how our social circle affects our habits and can potentially change our behaviors. Indeed, eating right is equivalent to living well. We are what we eat, therefore, improving our eating habits is one of the secrets to longevity.        What We Discuss:00:00:00 Intro00:02:27 The effects of ultra-processed food00:07:19 What is aging us faster?00:10:34 The foundational basics of self-care00:20:26 Your social circle affects your habits 00:27:10 Link between inflammation and aging00:35:44 Damaged proteins00:41:44 Clean diet activates the body’s healing mechanisms00:48:07 The power of a healthy diet00:51:47 The core biological systems of the body01:00:07 Dr. Hyman on Final FiveEpisode ResourcesMark Hyman | WebsiteMark Hyman | TwitterMark Hyman | FacebookMark Hyman | InstagramMark Hyman | YouTubeMark Hyman | BooksThe Doctor's Farmacy PodcastThe Ultra-Wellness CenterWant to be a Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach?
