One of the biggest mistakes I often see patients make is taking a linear approach to health, focusing most of their energy just on exercise, for example, but leaving everything else by the wayside. We can’t optimize health if we’re only supporting one part of it. And optimizing our health through what we put at the end of our fork is the lowest-hanging fruit to achieve all our other health goals.

In this episode, Dr. Hyman and guests dive into topics including insulin resistance, nutritional deficiencies, gut health, and much more. They also talk about what you can start doing to get healthier today.
