About this episode
Dr. Jeff Bland has been called the father of Functional Medicine—and for good reason. His groundbreaking work helped shift our understanding of chronic disease and inspired a generation of doctors to look beyond symptoms and toward root causes. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show , I sit down with Jeff to talk about what he’s learned from more than 50 years of studying the science of health, aging, and disease prevention. We explore: • Why your biology is not predetermined by your genes—and how to unlock your full potential • What Jeff’s own health journey reveals about inflammation, biomarkers, and aging well • How what you eat can shape everything from inflammation to longevity • Long-term disease risk is shaped by what surrounds you—and how your body responds Tune in for an insightful conversation with one of my greatest mentors—and discover how science, curiosity, and personal agency can help you live a longer, healthier life.
