The health care industry is the largest cause of death and suffering. The fact that mainstream medical schools do not teach (nor understand) fundamental nutrition is an extreme act of negligence. The science and medical fraud promoted by Harvard University in the 50's concerning fat and sugar has contributed to the death and suffering of countless millions of humans. In my industry of electronics, machines and computers obsoleted many of my job functions since the 1970's. Many of those jobs were boring and tedious. Good riddance!!
It is far more important that Eric Topol and Mark Hyman be able to continue their valuable work as health promoters.
Almost every doctor in my life has harmed me in some way for 76+ years. Avoiding doctors is part of my healthcare.

I am absolutely thrilled about this exciting news! It's truly wonderful and much needed in today's society. Dr. Hyman, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible contributions you make to our community. The value you bring in every piece of information and each podcast you share is truly brilliant. Unfortunately, I find myself with limited time in my life to fully immerse myself in learning from you, but I am genuinely amazed by your work. Thank you!

MH is the best Doc on YT, Short simple and focused discussion!

We have allowed the food processors to poison our foods by adding all the chemicals, additives, etc. processed into our foods. Why do they still allow some sweeteners, for example, that are Iike poison for one’s system. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Our soft drinks, syrup, the list goes on and on. Urge us to read the labels to track down what’s added to our foods and tell us what to look for. Where is the health system that allows this to continue?

[janet]

Dr. Hyman. I’ve been listening to you for a long time I always enjoy learning from you. Today you mentioned that you were a doctor in Orofino Idaho and that’s pretty cool. That is a small town. My husband is from that area and we spend a lot of time there. It’s so beautiful.

In the food are additives that are not meant to be there.
They are not “ingredients”, they’re chemicals…..
Is that a source of the cancer causing issues?
Personally, I think so….

[myrnaalexander]

Mark Hyman is an extraordinary person— brilliant, down to earth, passionate, loving, committed, funny— one of a kind! So fortunate to have his podcasts!!

AI is only as good as the input. Will AI innovate from the status quo, or just automate the existing healthcare flow?

[joeschnur]

Hospitals and current healthcare system scare the heck out of me. I’m doing everything possible to stay out of it. I use chat got to guide my decisions. It’s not perfect but it teaches me more than any doctor and it doesn’t push me out of their office after 5 mins. This shift will be consumer driven.

[doresnalwanga]

Technology and innovation and Al all will change the way we live do things but also there is proms and cons the health care system in America benefits the rich not the poor

[galemartinez]

I am going to return to all my specialists next year to show them an example of my success, and I am only halfway.
You should see my chart and I can't wait to prove to them that it works with whole foods. Fibromyalgia, Arthritis and avoided a 2nd hip replacement. Multiple abdominal surgeries.
Heavy pain meds, BP meds.
Off all except 2 prn meds!
Retired Oncology Nurse and I have seen it all.
Almost 50 lbs lighter, and my health is changing before my eyes.
I have been enrolled in cancer research since 2012 and have been invited to a Gut study for inflammation ?

… as a German Biologist -
then we must WORK until 100
to afford the Cost of the last 20 Years
Great!
Keep Working!
....if you can get a job at 100....

[lauriesherman]

Outstanding! The problem is getting other professionals on board which is tough when those are stuck in the old ways and take it personal…mean while, patient’s die…

[nancy-sonjajacobs]

I agree that doctors and nurses are slaves to their keyboard and not interacting with the patient! It’s disconcerting that the healing of human compassion is being scrubbed away. Kaiser has 10 min appts. I tried to schedule two and pay my copay for both but the system cancelled both 😢 Absurd. If I’m paying with should they care?!? PCP have become concierges so that we get funneled to more expensive “specialists”, also for timed appts. The focus is on $ rather than discovery & research.

The bad thing about AI is that the information base may include the false benefits of vegan diets and incorrect information about the importance of diet and safety of red meat bacon and eggs and the lack of importance of cholesterol.

[jeandease]

If the time that is freed from the computer is actually then used to spend face to face with the patient, Or instead just used to pack in more patients .

[aliciathom]

Encouraging use of AI to benefit patients and for people to know about their body. Sounds like a good thing for medicine, and love the idea of restoring a healthy human doctor/patient relationship/partnership.

[nancycy]

Top notch and inspirational! Makes me feel some hope for our outdated and useless in many ways medical systems

[mcgdoc]

Imaging tests are not physiological information. They see the changes of anatomical structures. They are not diagnostic of cellular mitochondrial dysfunctions. Biomarkers are bits and pieces of a complex system, they are not based on systems information analysis.

Answer to mankind’s health issues (and all problems) See Isaiah 33:24 God (Psalm 83:18 in most translations) will provide help in the near future - Daniel 2:44. Also see Psalm 37:29. In the meantime we can only pray for the right diagnosis and treatment.
