This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and Paleovalley. If there was something you could do every day to boost your focus and productivity, feel energized, reduce stress, sleep better, maintain a positive outlook, and support whole-body health, wouldn’t you do it? It’s for all these reasons, and more, that meditation is a foundational pillar to good health.  In today’s episode, I talk with Daniel Goleman, Emily Fletcher, and Dr. Joe Dispenza about how meditation changes lives by reducing stress, creating resilience, and improving emotional intelligence.   Daniel Goleman is best known for his worldwide bestseller Emotional Intelligence and most recently coauthored the book Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body. Goleman has been ranked among the 25 most influential business leaders by several business publications including Time and the Wall Street Journal. Apart from his writing on emotional intelligence, Goleman has written books on topics including self-deception, creativity, transparency, meditation, social and emotional learning, eco-literacy, and the ecological crisis.   Emily Fletcher is the founder of Ziva, the creator of The Ziva Technique, and a leading expert in meditation for high performers. She is also the author of Stress Less, Accomplish More.   Dr. Joe Dispenza’s passion can be found at the intersection of the latest findings from the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to explore the science behind spontaneous remissions. He uses that knowledge to teach people how to heal their bodies of health conditions, make significant changes in their lives, and evolve their consciousness. Since 2010, he has partnered with scientists and universities to perform extensive research on the effects that meditation has on the brain and body. He and his team have also studied gene expression, protein regulation, immune response, neurotransmitter changes, telomere length, and variations in bioactive cellular metabolic particles in novice and advanced meditators.   This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and Paleovalley.

I want to do that feeling healthy and vital, not sick and decrepit. Everything we do speaks to our genes—the food we eat, our relationships, our environment. You’re either telling your genes to age faster or age slower. So I’m constantly working on how to give my genes the right information to do the latter.  Today’s podcast episode was recorded on my recent trip to Antarctica with my own doctor, Dr. Matt Cook. He’s helped me heal and has integrated so many different forms of technologies and science to rebuild people’s health from the ground up. Dr. Cook is the Founder of BioReset® Medical. He is a board-certified anesthesiologist with over 20 years of experience practicing medicine, focusing the last 14 years on Functional and Regenerative Medicine.

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and InsideTracker.   This myth is pervasive throughout medicine: if you know the name of your disease, you know what’s wrong with you. In truth, diagnoses are just names we associate with a collection of symptoms. They tell us nothing about why someone has those symptoms—the root causes of the “disease.” Functional Medicine seeks to dig deeper to look for the root cause of symptoms.   In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Dr. Todd LePine, and Dr. George Papanicolaou about how patients miss out on true healing when the root cause of their symptoms is not addressed.   Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing, she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing.   Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is board certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine’s focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders.   Dr. George Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is board certified in Family Medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital. He is also an Institute for Functional Medicine Practitioner. In 2000, he founded Cornerstone Family Practice in Rowley, MA. He practiced with a philosophy centered on personal relationships and treating the whole person, not just not the disease. He calls his philosophy “Whole Life Wellness.” Over time, as the healthcare system made it harder for patients to receive this kind of personal care, Dr. Papanicolaou decided a change was needed. He began training in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. In 2015, he established Cornerstone Personal Health, a practice dedicated entirely to Functional Medicine. Dr. Papanicolaou joined The UltraWellness Center in 2017.   This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and InsideTracker.   Right now when you purchase AG1 from Athletic Greens, you will receive 10 FREE travel packs with your first purchase by visiting athleticgreens.com/hyman.   InsideTracker is a personalized health and wellness platform like no other.

This episode is brought to you by Gut Food, Athletic Greens, and Rupa Health.   We are living in a time unlike any before. For multiple reasons, we are now unable to get optimal amounts of all of the nutrients we need to function the way we were designed to. That’s why we need to turn to certain supplements to combat the nutritional deficiencies—like vitamin D, magnesium, omega 3 fatty acids, and more—the majority of us are faced with.    In today’s episode, I talk with Dhru Purohit, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, and Dr. James DiNicolantonio about why our modern diet and lifestyle are leaving us nutritionally deficient, the benefits of supplementation, and the importance of adequate magnesium levels.   Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry.
