How OpenAI Is Helping People Take Control of Their Health | Fidji Simo
The Dr. Hyman Show
Fidji's Personal Health Journey
Fidji Simo recounts her post-pregnancy symptoms, diagnosis of POTS and chronic fatigue, and frustrations with fragmented care.
Too often, we focus on treating symptoms without fully understanding the systems underneath them—or the conditions that allow the body to function well in the first place. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Fidji Simo, CEO of Applications at OpenAI, to explore how AI could help us shift medicine from treating symptoms to restoring systems. We talk about why chronic illness is so often misunderstood, how health data has been fragmented across silos, and what becomes possible when we finally see the full picture. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why having a diagnosis doesn’t always explain what’s actually driving your symptoms • How connecting your labs, lifestyle data, and health history can reveal patterns you might otherwise miss • What it looks like to move from reactive care to proactive, personalized health • How better context can help you make clearer decisions about food, sleep, movement, and recovery Health isn’t built in a doctor’s office. When you create the right environment, the body often knows what to do—and understanding your own biology is one of the most powerful steps you can take toward creating health, not just reacting to disease.
