The Gut-Brain Link That Could Change How We Understand Parkinson’s
Could Parkinson’s disease begin in the gut? It’s a question that challenges how we think about brain health, and one that today’s guest has spent years investigating. I’m talking with Sarkis Mazmanian, PhD, a professor of microbiology at Caltech whose research explores how gut bacteria influence the brain. We discuss why the gut has become an important focus in Parkinson’s research and how understanding that connection could open new possibilities for treatment. Here’s what we get into: How the bacteria in your gut communicate with your brain and may influence behavior Why digestive problems can show up years before the movement symptoms of Parkinson’s What mouse studies suggest about the microbiome and autism, and what we still need to learn in people Whether commercial microbiome tests and probiotics can deliver on their promises Ways to support your gut through food, sleep, movement, and managing stress When someone comes into my office, I want to understand their whole story, including what was changing long before they came to see me. That’s what makes the gut connection so compelling in Parkinson’s. If changes are happening years before movement problems appear, could that give us an earlier opportunity to help? It’s a question worth asking, especially when the answer could mean more years of doing the things you love.

Sleep Apnea: Why CPAP Isn't Fixing the Real Problem (This Does!)
What if you're sleeping eight hours a night but your body is struggling to breathe the entire time? Sleep apnea can disrupt your breathing dozens of times an hour without you ever realizing it, putting your heart, brain, and metabolic health at risk. In this episode, I break down the warning signs most people miss, why sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed, and what you can do to address it. Here's what I discuss in today's episode: Why you can sleep eight hours and still wake up exhausted The surprising signs of sleep apnea that have nothing to do with snoring How disrupted breathing at night can affect your heart, brain, and metabolic health Why even thin, healthy, and physically fit people can develop sleep apnea Whether CPAP is your only option and what else may help improve your breathing at night How to know if you should get tested for sleep apnea Sleep apnea isn't just about snoring or feeling tired. Left untreated, it can have serious consequences for your long-term health. The good news is that there are effective treatments, and understanding what's driving your sleep apnea can help you address the problem from multiple angles. If you're constantly waking up tired, don't ignore it. Your body may be trying to tell you something. Visit functionhealth.com for 160+ lab tests at just $365 a year.

Why Midlife Could Be Your Most Powerful Chapter Yet | Mel Robbins
Most of us have been there. I know I have. You want to make a change, but somehow it keeps getting pushed to tomorrow. Why does getting started so often feel like the hardest part? Today, I’m joined by Mel Robbins, bestselling author of The Let Them Theory and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast. We talk about what helps us follow through, how our surroundings shape our habits, and how to support the people we love without trying to control their choices. Here’s what we get into: How to catch yourself before you talk yourself out of taking action Why healthy choices don’t have to depend on feeling motivated How to stop letting other people’s reactions and opinions consume your energy What you can try when someone you love resists your efforts to help Ways to build a clearer picture of what you want your life to look like as you get older I know firsthand how hard it can be to start again. During my recovery from back surgery, even the smallest movements took effort. Having something I wanted to get back to helped me keep going. Being able to play with my grandson gives me a reason to keep building strength today. Whatever your reason is, it deserves a place in the everyday decisions you make about your health.

Normal Blood Sugar But Still Insulin Resistant? Here's Why
Your doctor says your blood sugar is normal, so you assume everything is fine. But what if your body is already showing signs of insulin resistance and your routine blood tests aren't catching it? Today, I break down what your blood sugar numbers actually reveal, the critical markers most doctors aren't testing, and how to spot metabolic dysfunction before it develops into something more serious. Here's what we discuss in today's episode: Why normal blood sugar doesn't necessarily mean you're metabolically healthy The overlooked blood test that may reveal insulin resistance years before your glucose rises What your fasting glucose, insulin, and A1c numbers actually mean and what to look for How sleep, stress, meal timing, and even the order you eat your food can affect blood sugar The surprising signs of insulin resistance, even in people who appear thin and healthy Simple changes you can make today to improve your metabolic health Insulin resistance can develop silently for years before showing up on a standard blood test. The sooner you understand what's happening in your body, the sooner you can take action. And the good news is that many of the most powerful ways to improve your metabolic health start with simple, everyday habits. Our Award-Winning EpisodesThe Dr. Hyman Show just won four Signal Awards!

The New Science of Brain Aging: What 200,000 scans reveal | Paul Thompson, PhD
How well is your brain aging? Your birthday tells you one thing, but your brain may tell a different story. Today, I’m talking with neuroscientist Paul Thompson, PhD, whose work with the global ENIGMA Consortium is revealing how brain health connects to what’s happening throughout your body. We get into what brain scans can tell us and why those findings matter to you. We discuss: What your “brain age” means and how it can differ from your actual age Why your metabolic health deserves attention when you’re struggling with mood or memory How sleep and nutrition support your brain’s ability to function and recover What having an Alzheimer’s risk gene does, and doesn’t, tell you about your future How brain scans, blood tests, and AI could help identify the right treatment for you It’s so exciting to see researchers like Paul looking across thousands of brain scans and uncovering connections between the health of the body and the brain. For me, it opens up a bigger conversation about how we care for ourselves and how our everyday habits can help protect our memory and support our mood as we age.

Do NOT Rely on Mammograms Alone — A Breast Cancer Survivor Doctor Explains What to Do Instead
In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Boham, Medical Director of the UltraWellness Center, to explore why breast cancer develops, the hidden factors that may influence your risk, and what you can do to be proactive about prevention—not just early detection. Here's what we discuss in today's episode: Why breast cancer is increasingly being diagnosed in younger women The overlooked factors that may influence breast cancer risk beyond genetics and family history How your gut health, hormones, and environmental exposures may be connected to breast cancer What women should know about hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer risk The screenings, tests, and everyday habits that can help you take a more proactive approach to breast health While we can't prevent every case of breast cancer, there are meaningful steps we can take to influence our health. Understanding your individual risk and addressing the factors within your control can help you make more informed decisions about prevention and long-term wellness.

Why Younger Women Are Getting Breast Cancer at Record Rates (And How to Reduce Your Risk)
A normal mammogram can bring a real sense of relief. But when it comes to understanding your breast cancer risk, what else should you know? Today, I’m joined by OB/GYN and SHE MD podcast co-host Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi. Helping women get answers about their health has been central to her work for decades. Yet when she faced her own breast cancer diagnosis, she experienced the same dismissal so many of her patients had described. You’ll learn: How to understand your breast cancer risk, even without a family history What to ask about your breast density and screening options Why irregular cycles, acne, and weight changes may be connected Why painful periods shouldn’t be something you simply learn to live with How to approach hormone replacement therapy with your personal risks and needs in mind Dr. Aliabadi made a point that really stayed with me. Understanding your health is part of advocating for yourself. You don’t need to have every answer. But knowing what to ask and having a doctor who listens to what you’re experiencing can help you make more informed decisions about your care.

How Do I Know If I Actually Need a Detox? The Signs Your Body Is Telling You
What if the fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and cravings you've accepted as normal are actually signs that something you're eating isn't working for your body? You may not realize how much your food is affecting you until you change it. In this episode, I break down why I created the 10-Day Detox, what happens inside your body when you remove common dietary triggers, and how just 10 days can reveal important clues about your health. Here's what we discuss in today's episode: Why you might feel tired, bloated, or foggy even when you think you're eating healthy The surprising changes that can happen inside your body in just 10 days Why the first few days of a dietary reset can be the hardest—and what happens next The common foods that may be quietly contributing to inflammation, cravings, and metabolic dysfunction What to eat during the 10-Day Detox and how to reintroduce foods afterward to identify your personal triggers The goal isn't another restrictive diet or a quick fix for weight loss. It's to understand how food affects your body. When you start connecting what you eat with how you feel, you gain the information you need to make better decisions for your long-term health.
