Is your ‘healthy’ breakfast actually dessert in disguise? Why is it that so many of us are struggling these days with our metabolic health? What is the relationship between our food and mood? And, what is the real deal with detox?

My guest today is someone, who for many years, has been leading a global health revolution, one revolved around using food as medicine, to support longevity, energy, mood and happiness.

Dr Mark Hyman has been a practising medical doctor for several decades and an internationally recognised leader, speaker and educator in the field of Functional Medicine. He is co-founder and the chief medical officer of Function Health, founder of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine and the author of an incredible fifteen New York Times best-selling books.

This is Mark’s 4th appearance on my podcast and in today’s conversation we cover a variety of fascinating topics, including:

• The science of metabolic health
• How to break your reliance on sugar
• The connection between food and mood
• The multiple benefits of starting your day with protein
• The 10-Day food plan that can transform your energy, mood and digestion
• The problem that many people face with modern wheat and dairy
• The truth about food addiction
• The simple but effective method that can enhance the way you eliminate environmental toxins.

Throughout our conversation, Mark’s passion for empowering people to take charge of their health shines through. His accessible, evidence-based approach offers practical steps anyone can take. As he reminds us, small daily improvements in diet, movement and stress management compound over time – and it’s never too late to start.
