Medical expert Dr. Mark Hyman on how to achieve your ultimate goals
What if we told you that, with a few tweaks to your lifestyle, you could feel like that every day?
On this episode of the Tony Robbins Podcast, host Ana Yoerg interviews world-renowned family physician and medical expert Dr. Mark Hyman.
Dr. Hyman is a practicing physician, the founder and medical director of The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, Massachusetts, and the head of strategy and innovation at the Cleveland Clinic.
In addition to practicing medicine, he is also an 11-time #1 New York Times bestselling author and a medical editor at The Huffington Post. An internationally recognized thought leader, speaker, educator and advocate in the field of functional medicine, he has appeared on numerous television shows, including CBS This Morning, the Today Show, Good Morning America and CNN and he produced an eight-episode docuseries, Broken Brain.
Ana and Dr. Hyman discuss the importance of functional medicine and why we need to be proactive, rather than reactive, when it comes to our health. So much of what we struggle with – from anxiety, depression and the inability to lose weight – can be addressed by looking at the foods we eat and the lifestyle we live.
Dr. Hyman believes that by addressing the underlying causes of our health concerns, rather than just treating symptoms, we can start to optimize our health, increase performance, maximize brain function and reduce or prevent disease.
In other words, we can achieve our ultimate health goals.
When it comes to getting healthy, so many of us focus on the wrong thing. We want a quick fix or the fad diet, rather than getting to the root of our issues.
Instead of focusing on these unsustainable ideas, start focusing on detoxing your body and getting rid of the lifestyle habits that are keeping you stuck. Learn the next-level techniques that have helped people like Tony Robbins live their healthiest lives.
When we look at learning how to address the problem at the source by taking advantage of methods such as biohacking, we can start to create a clear path to our ultimate goal – an extraordinary life.
