In 'The UltraMind Solution,' Dr. Mark Hyman explains that many mental and psychological disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and memory loss, are rooted in physical and biochemical imbalances in the body. He proposes a six-week plan to correct these imbalances through optimizing nutrition, balancing hormones, reducing inflammation, and other lifestyle changes. The book emphasizes the importance of functional medicine, focusing on the body's natural healing processes rather than just managing symptoms with drugs or psychotherapy. By following the outlined steps, readers can achieve an 'UltraMind' that is highly focused, able to pay attention at will, has a strong memory, and leaves them feeling calm, confident, in control, and in good spirits.
In *Young Forever*, Dr. Mark Hyman challenges readers to reimagine their biology, health, and the process of aging. The book explores the biological hallmarks of aging, their causes, and their consequences, and provides simple dietary, lifestyle, and emerging longevity strategies to overcome them. It covers topics such as turning on longevity switches, reducing inflammation, supporting the immune system, exercising, sleeping, and de-stressing for healthy aging, and features Dr. Hyman's Pegan Diet. The book aims to help readers increase their health span, prevent and reverse diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and dementia, and live a longer, healthier life.

A shocking 99 percent of Americans are nutrient deficient, including over 90 percent who are deficient in omega-3 fats and 50 percent who are deficient in magnesium. Add to that chronic stress and a heavily processed diet with foods lacking nutrition, and it’s a recipe for nutrient-deficiency disaster.
In today’s episode, I talk with Chris Kresser, Dhru Purohit, and Dr. Elizabeth Boham about why so many of us are nutrient deficient and what to do about it.
