Do you struggle to focus on simple tasks?
Do you feel mentally “slowed down” during the day?
Today, Jay welcomes back his dear friend and trailblazer in functional medicine, Dr. Mark Hyman. Mark Hyman, MD is the co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Function Health, the fastest growing health company in the U.S. In this extremely vulnerable conversation, Mark recounts his near-death experience after a severe spinal infection left him unable to walk and fighting for his life. Despite decades of living and teaching optimal health, he suddenly found himself dependent on others for even the simplest tasks. Over the course of five determined months, Mark applied the very principles he has championed for years: nutritional excellence, disciplined daily movement, and an unshakable mindset. Not only did he make a full recovery, but came back stronger than ever at the age of 65, proving that the body’s innate healing capacity can be reignited at any stage of life.
The conversation explores the critical role mindset plays in recovery and underscores the often-overlooked connection between diet, lifestyle, and overall well-being. Mark explains how chronic illness is frequently driven by hidden inflammation, fueled by ultra-processed foods, sugar, and environmental toxins. He breaks down the science behind his 10-Day Detox, a simple yet powerful reset proven to dramatically reduce symptoms such as fatigue, pain, and digestive distress. The discussion also delves into the growing prevalence of autoimmune conditions, the hidden epidemic of nutrient deficiencies, and why personalized health data is essential for identifying risks before they become life-threatening.

With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
