The Doctor's Farmacy with Mark Hyman, M.D.

This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Athletic Greens.For many of us, it can be a challenge to express what we really think, even in our most important relationships, because we seek to avoid conflict or disappointment. Unfortunately, this approach takes us further away from dealing with the real situation and we end up unhappy and suffering the consequences. I know because I, myself, used to be a “nice-aholic.”In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I share discrete action steps my coach taught me that enabled me to just take a deep breath, get clear about what I wanted, and tell the truth in a clear, honest way. I also discuss simple steps to having a difficult conversation.This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Athletic Greens.InsideTracker is a personalized health and wellness platform like no other.

Overexercising, undereating, and eating too many superfoods can have the reverse effect as intended, causing nutrient deficiencies, weight gain, and cortisol depletion. Sometimes less is more, and by toggling our biohacking tools at the right time and with the right intensity, we can get closer to the results we want.I’m excited to sit down with my good friend, Dave Asprey, to talk about how to upgrade our metabolism, stress response, strength, and brain health while radically reducing the amount of effort it takes to get there.Dave Asprey is an entrepreneur, the Father of Biohacking, and the leading voice in the movement to take control of your own biology.
