How CoQ10 Supports Heart Health, Prevents Migraines, And Improves Cognition

With so much conflicting health advice online, it’s no wonder people feel overwhelmed by food choices. Is saturated fat really the enemy? Are seed oils as harmful as some headlines claim? And how do we know what’s actually true?  In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with nutrition researcher and author Simon Hill to make sense of the latest science and help you cut through the confusion. You can watch our full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: • The real story behind seed oils, saturated fat, and inflammation—and what to do about it • What your lab work can tell you about your unique nutrition needs • How to spot nutrition misinformation and think critically about food trends • Why cutting back on ultra-processed foods may be more important than obsessing over any single nutrient In a world full of nutrition noise, this episode helps you tune into what really matters—science, and your own body.

Medicine stands at the threshold of a new era, where artificial intelligence and systems biology are working hand in hand to make care more personal, predictive, and precise than ever before. AI is already improving diagnostic accuracy, automating administrative tasks, and uncovering patterns in data—like retinal scans or genomics—that humans often miss. Rather than replacing doctors, AI enhances their ability to deliver more informed, precise, and efficient care. At the same time, individuals are gaining tools—from at-home diagnostics to wearable biosensors—that empower them to track and optimize their own health. This shift marks a move from reactive, disease-centered care to a proactive, data-driven model of scientific wellness. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Eric Topol, Dr. Nathan Price, Dr. Leroy Hood, Dr. Vijay Pande, and Daisy Wolf about how artificial intelligence, personalized data, and wearable technology are converging to radically transform medicine. Dr. Eric Topol is Executive Vice President of Scripps Research and founder/director of its Translational Institute, recognized as one of the top 10 most cited researchers in medicine with over 1,300 publications. A cardiologist and author of several bestselling books on the future of medicine, he leads major NIH grants in precision medicine and shares cutting-edge biomedical insights through his Ground Truths newsletter and podcast. Dr. Nathan Price is Chief Scientific Officer at Thorne HealthTech, author of The Age of Scientific Wellness, and a National Academy of Medicine Emerging Leader. He also serves on the Board on Life Sciences for the National Academies and is Affiliate Faculty in Bioengineering and Computer Science at the University of Washington. Dr. Leroy Hood is CEO and founder of Phenome Health, leading the Human Phenome Initiative to sequence and track the health of one million people over 10 years. A pioneer in systems biology and co-founder of 17 biotech companies, he is a recipient of the Lasker Prize, Kyoto Prize, and National Medal of Science. Dr. Vijay Pande is a General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz and founder of a16z Bio + Health, managing over $3 billion in life sciences and healthcare investments at the intersection of biology and AI. An Adjunct Professor at Stanford, he is known for his work in computational science, earning honors like the DeLano Prize and a Guinness World Record for Folding@Home. Daisy Wolf is an investing partner at Andreessen Horowitz, specializing in healthcare AI, consumer health, and healthcare-fintech innovation.

This special bonus episode features Dr. Todd LePine from the UltraWellness Center, diving into how functional medicine can help reverse fatty liver disease—an often-overlooked condition that’s quietly affecting millions. While conventional care may miss early warning signs or focus solely on medication, Dr. LePine and I take a deeper look at the root causes. We also walk through a real patient case that shows how liver fat can be reduced and overall health restored through personalized nutrition and lifestyle changes. If you or someone you know has ever been told their liver enzymes are “a little high,” this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. You’ll learn: • Why you could have fatty liver disease—even if you're not overweight or drinking • What elevated liver enzymes really mean for your long-term health • How to protect your liver by cutting out hidden sources of sugar and toxins • Which foods and supplements support detox, reduce inflammation, and repair damage • What a real-life recovery looks like and how functional medicine makes it possible This is part of a limited bonus series spotlighting the work of the UltraWellness Center team, with new episodes dropping monthly on select Fridays.

Our healthcare system is broken—and it’s not by accident. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m joined by Brigham Buhler, a former pharmaceutical rep turned healthcare entrepreneur, to explore how misaligned incentives across pharma, insurance, and government are undermining patient care.  This conversation is about more than just exposing the problem. It’s about empowering individuals. Watch our full discussion on my YouTube channel here - https://youtu.be/062lululORA We discuss: • How hidden financial incentives could be affecting the care you receive • Why even well-meaning doctors may be limited in helping you heal—and what you can do about it • What to watch out for when navigating insurance, prescriptions, and denied claims • How you can prioritize prevention, even when it’s not supported Navigating the healthcare system can be overwhelming, but your next step doesn’t have to be. With the right insight, you can take back control and advocate for the care you deserve.

Social media platforms are designed to hijack our brain’s reward system, keeping us hooked through endless dopamine hits. This constant stimulation fragments our attention, reshapes our behavior, and can lead to burnout, anxiety, and even addiction—especially in developing brains. The more we scroll, the more we crave quick hits of novelty, making it harder to tolerate boredom or engage in deeper, more meaningful tasks. And while adults may struggle, kids are even more vulnerable, facing emotional dysregulation and long-term brain changes. The good news? Awareness is the first step toward reclaiming agency and creating healthier boundaries in a world built for distraction. Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist, bestselling author, and professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business. His research focuses on the moral foundations of culture and politics, exploring why good people are divided by religion, ideology, and values. He is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis, The Righteous Mind, and The Coddling of the American Mind (co-authored with Greg Lukianoff), and has given four widely viewed TED talks. Haidt is also a co-founder of Heterodox Academy, the Constructive Dialogue Institute, and Ethical Systems—organizations that promote viewpoint diversity, constructive disagreement, and ethical leadership. Since 2018, he has turned his attention to the mental health crisis among teens and the role of social media in political polarization. His latest book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, was published in 2024. In 2019, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Cal Newport is an associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University. In addition to researching cutting-edge technology, he also writes about the impact of these innovations on our culture. Newport is the author of six books, including Slow Productivity, Digital Minimalism, and Deep Work. His work has been featured in many publications, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Economist, and he has been writing essays for his personal website (CalNewport.com) for over a decade. He has never had a social media account. Tobias Rose-Stockwell is a writer, designer, and media researcher whose work has been featured in major outlets such as The Atlantic, WIRED, NPR, the BBC, CNN, and many others. His research has been cited in the adoption of key interventions to reduce toxicity and polarization within leading tech platforms. He previously led humanitarian projects in Southeast Asia focused on civil war reconstruction efforts, work for which he was honored with an award from the 14th Dalai Lama. He lives in New York with his cat Waffles. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN10 to save 10%.
