The Dr. Hyman Show

• How Community Shapes Your Mind, Body, and Well-Being

  Imagine a small town where neighbors gather for every celebration, and people stay remarkably healthy simply because they’re deeply connected. Research shows that meaningful relationships—not achievement, diet, or even exercise—are the strongest predictor of long-term health and happiness, while loneliness can be as harmful as smoking two packs a day. Our social bonds influence gene expression, lowering stress and inflammation and activating the body’s natural healing pathways. By prioritizing kindness, investing in uplifting relationships, and creating simple moments of togetherness, we tap into one of the most powerful longevity tools we have. And the hopeful truth is that building just a few authentic connections can change your life in profound, measurable ways. In this episode, I discuss, along with Radha Agrawal and Jeff Rosenthal, why deep, authentic connection is one of the most powerful determinants of our physical health, happiness, and longevity. Radha Agrawal is the co-founder, CEO, and Chief Community Architect of Daybreaker, the early-morning dance and wellness movement. Daybreaker currently holds events in 25 cities and more than a dozen college campuses around the world and has a community of almost half a million people. She is also the author of a new book called Belong: Find Your People, Create Community, and Live a More Connected Life. Jeff is the Co-Founder of Summit, a cutting-edge organization best known for hosting global ideas, festivals and events, and is the co-owner, principal designer, and developer of Summit Powder Mountain and Powder Mountain ski resort in Eden, Utah. He’s the co-author of Make No Small Plans: Lessons on Thinking Big, Chasing Dreams, and Building Community.  This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

• Uncovering the Roots of Exhaustion—and How to Feel Like Yourself Again

  Many people experience a deep, lingering fatigue that isn’t fixed by a full night’s sleep, and it often stems from real imbalances inside the body. When mitochondria—the tiny engines that power our cells—are stressed by poor diet, toxins, infections, or lack of rest, the whole system can slow down. Ongoing stress can also disrupt the adrenal system, leaving some people feeling wired and anxious while others feel drained from morning to night. The encouraging news is that steady habits like nourishing whole foods, balanced blood sugar, restorative sleep, and gentle movement can help the body find its rhythm again. With the right support, energy often returns, and a sense of hope does, too. In this episode, I dive into, along with Dr. Izabella Wentz and Dr. Elizabeth Boham, the real roots of chronic fatigue, showing how stress, lifestyle, and hidden imbalances drain our energy—and how practical, nourishing habits can help restore it. Izabella Wentz is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of three books on Hashimoto’s: Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, Hashimoto’s Food Pharmacology, and Hashimoto’s Protocol, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women’s Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.

• Stop Blaming Salt: Fixing High Blood Pressure by Treating the Root Cause

  Most people think high blood pressure is just about “bad pipes,” but it’s really a whole–body problem driven by inflammation, insulin resistance, and years of eating sugary, processed foods. Hidden problems like sleep apnea, belly fat, toxins, and not getting enough key nutrients slowly damage your blood vessels and raise the risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and memory loss. Instead of simply pushing the numbers down with medication, the Functional Medicine approach looks for the real “why” behind high blood pressure in each person—food choices, sleep, stress, genetics, environment, and more. By rebuilding health with real food and targeted nutrients, better sleep, movement, and stress relief, many of these root causes can be reversed or improved. The message is clear: high blood pressure isn’t destiny, and with the right changes, the body often has a powerful ability to heal. In this episode, I speak about, along with Dr. George Papanicolaou and Dr. Cindy Geyer, how high blood pressure is largely driven by inflammation and lifestyle factors, but with some foundational changes it can be reversed. Dr. George Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital. Over time as the healthcare system made it harder for patients to receive personal care, Dr. Papanicolaou decided a change was needed. He began training in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. In 2015, he established Cornerstone Personal Health—a practice dedicated entirely to Functional Medicine. In August 2017, Dr. Papanicolaou joined The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Cindy Geyer received her bachelor of science and her doctor of medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed residency in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y. and is triple board certified in internal medicine, integrative medicine and lifestyle medicine.
