Food is medicine, with both the power to heal and the power to harm. The best strategy for a long and healthy life is to eat your medicine—get your drugs at the farmacy, not the pharmacy! Food is far more than just calories or energy to fuel our bodies. It is information, instructions that regulate every function of our bodies in real-time. Remarkable discoveries over the last few decades now enable us to use food not just for pleasure, joy, connection, and nourishment but also for rejuvenation, thriving, and even reversing disease.
We are just beginning to understand how food influences our cells, tissues, organs, moods, thoughts, feelings, and the structure of our bodies, but what scientists have discovered over the last few decades is astonishing. Food is not only a source of energy, joy, connection, and pleasure; it can also rejuvenate us and even reverse disease.
I explained the power of using food as medicine, eating for your microbiome, how I overcame my health issues, and much more on Tom Bilyeu’s podcast, Impact Theory.

Interesting interview. Thanks. I don’t use a lot of dairy but when I do I buy milk from local dairies that have jersey cattle and process their milk with care as well as feeding them with care. The result is a very different tasting product and a less gut wrenching product too. I really try to buy food grown as close to home as possible. But you have given me some ideas on how to further optimize my diet. We’ll see what I do.
As a nurse, I am manifesting a nation in which every physician practices Integrative/Functional medicine. Wouldn’t that be INCREDIBLE??
@Phil Jermakian agreed. Wrong word, but hopefully you understood what I attempted to say.
@Cyril not me! But agreed!
@Cavelle Ardiel Agree, we would work well.together with our healthy lunches! I had the opportunity to teach a group of docs and nurses on my hospital floor about the health benefits of juicing! And taste some!
@Sheila Trahan Ya… I am just jumpy from bad experiences.
The AMA, the FDA, the CDC, big pharma which funds medical schools, politicians, insurance companies, etc. will never let that happen, sadly.
Mark Hyman can you please make a Netflix show or on another platform educating us more about the soil issue that you explained here??? This is very interesting.
Toxicity deficiency two words
Link to the lab that dies the GI test would be nice
Everything we have needed for so long! Awesome!
Thank you for bringing neuroinflammation into focus. I have Fibromyalgia and you have guided me in my quest of minimizing my pain
Excellent, excellent, excellent! Thank you so much for such for this informative episode.
so which foods are they?
2 of my favourite people sitting 1 on 1. You can’t listen to these 2 and not come away with something worthwhile. In a nutshell, that was 35 minutes well spent.
Why can’t functional medicine be affordable for everyone plus why won’t our insurance pay?
Oh, man, I love Tom Bilyeu but in this one he keeps interrupting and doesn’t let Hyman finish his recommendations. Hyman was about to get to the healthy fats like Avocados, and Tom interrupted him. Then Mark Hyman proceeded to say that the detox diet is high fat, but low starch, without mentioning which fats people should be eating (presumably avocado and coconut). Good interview, but leaving out crucial information like this only hurts viewers.
