EAT THIS EVERY DAY To Boost Brain Health, FIX YOUR GUT & Live Longer! | Mark Hyman

When we ingest 60 percent of our calories from ultra-processed foods, as most Americans do, we destroy our microbiome (i.e., the ecosystem in our gut). The microbiome plays a role in every disease, so why aren’t we doing more to protect and restore it? One third to one half of all Americans have gut issues due to the constant consumption of industrialized foods, glyphosate, food additives, and more. This is a problem—and it’s time for us to take action.

In this episode of my Masterclass series, the first in a series on gut health, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about the importance of polyphenols for our gut health. We also discuss my gut-health journey, which led me to dig deep into understanding the value of a healthy gut and diverse microbiome, and how to get there.

Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top 50 global health podcast with over 30 million unique downloads. His interviews focus on the inner workings of the brain and the body and feature the brightest minds in wellness, medicine, and mindset.

Why are people so critical?? That man is 63 years old. I think he looks fantastic! He has turned his health around from being sick to healthy and thriving. He has discovered what works for himself. Now he’s living his best life! We all should be so lucky!

Mark Hyman is my favorite functional doctor. He teaches the most balanced diet, not restricting whole food groups unless something is truly unhealthy. He is kind and extremely intelligent and informed, He also looks gorgeous! So you jerks who are making rude comments go look in the mirror and ask yourself why you are so mean critical and insecure.

He is sharing all his knowledge and lives to help people Plus he is great to look at Thank you Mark for all your help

Snapshot of Mark Hyman’s Daily Meal Plan

Breakfast: A shake (post workout) consisting of pegan protein powder, pomegranate concentrate, cranberry concentrate, macha powder, frozen berries, baobab tree, maca, açaí powder (polyphenol blends) along with pre-and probiotics.

Lunch: A can of mackerel or sardines with arugula, fennel, tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, cucumbers, and olives.

Dinner: 3-5 veggie dishes; roasted shiitake mushrooms, broccolini stir-fried with garlic and ginger, a Japanese sweet potato, finish it off with a tomato, cucumber, avocado, hearts of palm, fennel, cilantro salad with olive oil and vinegar.

Works to have a plentiful amount of vegetables, the centerpiece of the meals, and the protein or meat is a side dish.

Green tea, tomatoes, aspargus and overall green vegetables. You're welcome!

I am 63 and was diagnosed by a neurologist ( not a very good one) as early onset dementia with a side of delusional thoughts. In the meanwhile my personal MD contacted me to share that my recent physical showed I had diabetes. I googled symptoms for diabetes and cognitive brain function and sure enough memory issues can be part of diabetic symptoms. I totally changed my diet to support insulin resistance. (This is my 3rd round with high blood sugar #1) gestational diabetes with 2nd pregnancy at 26 #2) going into menopause I gained weight and my metabolism slowed way down, fixed it with becoming a certified yoga instructor and teaching fitness classes 3) at 63 I now have high blood sugar again! Now along with daily yoga I walk 3-5 miles a day which I love & I put myself on a diabetic diet which I am loving ❤ Now I test my blood sugar every couple of days just to keep track of any changes! My morning fasting blood sugar was 200 😬 and now it’s down to 120 😊
I still weigh 100lbs😂 I also take a between 10-20 supplements a day some I take daily and others are for specific symptoms. I look healthy and feel good. Trust your intuition, ask your body what is out of balance and be open to the answer. We are highly intuitive beings when we quiet our mind and listen for the answer🙏

I am from an area of Pennsylvania where people are living well into their 90's. In fact the aunt of someone I know just died at 106. This is a generation that grew up with midwife's, home gardens, animal protein that was organically raised prior to the category of organic plus organ meats like tripe, canning. Gluten, grains were not the main actor in our diet. Rosemary, sage, oregano, thyme, fennel, bay leaf are all components of our diets.

Same happened to me with antibiotic Erythromycin and the dentist! I did my own research and threw away the pills they said I would take for the rest of my life because they said I had That was 15 years ago and I’m not on any medication

In Ayurveda, it was said one who has “Meda” issues which means digestive issues will have all other diseases. And it’s not a new discovery, it’s been there for thousands of years.

I have read that the US is one of the few nations in the world that does not eat a fermented food daily. Since I read that, I added a serving of plain, whole milk yogurt with cream on top from grass fed cows with no antibiotics, trans, mono, or poly unsaturated fats. It has only saturated fats. No artificial anything. I usually add nuts, berries, or other fruits to it. I eat a small portion as I need to and am losing weight. I have noticed a difference in gut, bowel health when I don't eat it for a even a few days. I am a fan of fermented foods, at least, of yogurt.
I think the war on saturated fats is one of the worst things medical science has done to the American people. We evolved eating saturated animal fats, along with wild fruits, berries which contain natural sugars and edible wild plants. It's absurd to have ever thought saturated fats were our problem in heart and other diseases. A diet high in processed foods, sugars, and bad carbs are the more likely causes of heart disease.

I can’t wait for Gut Food and “Young Forever”!!! I’m so grateful help is on the way 😃🙏🤩

[boherupnielsen]

Greetings from Denmark. ❤
Waching a MD not knowing how important clean food is. Be in hospital, no MD talk of healthy food as a very important help to recovery.

[valerieann]

I think polyphenols everyday is the main helpful daily food he's talking about, as per the title, but tons of helpful info along with this theme.

[adalbai]

Hello Mark. Can you speak on Kombucha and if this is something to take in assisting our guts? Thank you and looking forward to updates.

[AlmaLuna-jr]

He is so right!! I follow him for many years and he helped so much with my joints and my way of living. I'm 59 and wants to do my best to keep living a decent life. This world is trying VERY HARD for us to have an unhealthy living with the sugar they put on every thing. I see in our non fortunate communities suffering from obesity in children to start because EVERY THING "HEALTHY" it's so expensive and sometimes it's no even ORGANIC. Praying for our lives and our children to live a healthy life.
