How To Optimize Hormone Health For Longevity | Dr. Mark Hyman

Get my FREE guide 3 Steps to Reverse Aging when you sign up for my weekly health picks 👉 bit.ly/Increas...
Conventional medicine often fails us when it comes to hormonal imbalances. Hormones aren’t commonly tested, and many of the symptoms of imbalance are written off to aging and never addressed. Our hormones are like a symphony, with each one acting as a specialized instrument to keep our bodies in tune. Unbalanced hormones can lead to impaired mood, poor sleep, memory difficulties, sexual problems, and more. Get your hormones back in balance, and these problems usually disappear.
In today’s episode of a new series I’m calling Know Your Numbers, I dive deep into male and female sex hormones. I discuss what you should measure to understand your hormonal health in a whole new way, the difference between conventional and optimal lab ranges, and much more.
You can test your hormonal health with ‪@functionhealth‬, a company I co-founded. It has been a lifelong dream for me.

People need to take more responsibility for their health. Teach yourself how to get healthy then do it. I appreciate your teaching!

great job Mark!!!as one of the historical pioneers in the field of Natural Medicine in my country ,i think you are doing a great job!!!congratulations for another great video!!!

Dr. Hyman kudos to you as well as your approaches to medicine, I have incorporated several of the ideas through your educational videos in my own life as well and just as you said you are only one doctor and I would add one of a kind. Your Functional Medicine approach is what I have been discussing with my doctors in the past which in part is the lifestyle management, however couldn’t find even a single physician to help me through until I started approaching myself and taking the cues from Ayurveda that treats the body as a system rather than just the symptoms and take this pill. I went through so many side effects that I couldn’t function anymore therefore by reversing my attitudes towards my health. Thank you very kindly for being a maverick of functional medicine. 🙏

[@denika369]

Please, could you share a little bit more about your experience with Ayurveda?

[@lisacampagna5972]

Dr. Mark you are soo appreciated! That you take the time to get on y tube and educate us on soo many health conditions. Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom.

It has become very clear to me that the traditional doctor has neither interest nor any clue about preventative medicine. I have been studying my own health and how to enhance my fitness for 4 plus years now. I’m 77 and so wish that I had started this journey many years before. Mark Hyman, Drs Casey Means, and Lustig have been so instrumental in formulation my knowledge and my health plan. At 77 I’m in far better health than when I was 57.

I enjoyed the video; great information..however, depending on the state that you live in, it’s extremely difficult to find a knowledgeable physician to treat hormone deficiency. I’m in California - I had an amazing doctor for 18 yrs. who knew the ins and outs of all of this. He just passed away unexpectedly 2 months ago; It’s been a challenge to find a physician that will treat my day-to-day health! Doctors are terrified with our laws in CA that have now shifted to “protecting the lawmakers” instead of treating and advocating for a patients health. I’ve just located/had my 1st consult with a Naturopath. Would love to find a functional medicine physician, however there’s not a listing in my area. I love your books and podcasts. Thank you for passing along your expertise!

THANK YOU DR. HYMAN 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️

Mark I have recently started to follow your videos. I am interested to know your comments on the case of John Pepper. He has reversed his Parkinsons symptons by (a) HiT walking, and (b) applying 'his continuous minds focus' to the otherwise autonomous body movements affected by his condition, eg- his right hand, thereby cancelling the effects.

[@oibal60]

Thanks again.

Doc can u pls do a lecture on azoospermia? Pls.

[@ethimself5064]

What about the lightly bound T? Curious to how much can be used as Free T? I have never heard an answer for this

[@ridesharesean]

Mark You should reach out to Gary Brecka and ask him to be on be on your podcast. He sounds pretty awesome!

[@randombear5353]

I don't know if you ever do phone consults but I sure would like to with you because my husband had an aortic dissection in June along with an abdominal aneurysm and he LIVED but I feel all supplements and natural therapy is out the window and we are lost. Of course there are BP meds but that is really all the docs tell us.

How do you optimize hormone health??

[@henrywong2375]

I wish you could summarize the video

[@TovaBergerShalom]

Can people living out of US participate in your function health program?

[@plants_and_wellness1574]

How can I lower SHBG?! Mine is and has always been really high 😭. My estrogen was also over 600. I eat a plant predominant diet and do not touch sugar or processed food.

[@Hertz2laugh]

Plants are full of estrogens and sugar. Drop the plants. Eat meat. Keep your total daily carbohydrates under 20g and eat fatty red meat. Your hormones will be rebalances in three to six months. No pills needed.

[@ethimself5064]

@@Hertz2laugh Wrong, You know little

[@sdfds1973]

tink you shoud tink about testorone and males. tink men need hgc with testorone not only for fertility. u have hgc reseptor in frotal lobe and lh reseptors in brain.

[@kathyday3679]

Was this a commercial? Why is the title How To Optimize Hormone Health for Longevity since he never gave any useful information.

[@kitkat3138]

You are right. He never mentioned a thing to optimise your hormones. It was an advert 😂

[@ethimself5064]

He gave more than good information basics

[@lindajones4849]

It was an advertisement for his company function health( came at the end). he didmention the labs to get but not how to interpret it treat them. Apparently that comes if you sign with functional health( his company)

[@TimBitts649]

God bless you. Even if you are atheist.

[@JohnK-pb6mn]

No no women are a big issue. check the bible.

[@DH-en4th]

Check your Bible. There was NO suitable companion for Adam on this entire planet, so God created Eve. To be the perfect companion, not a slave or a second class citizen. God calls everyone to love others as themselves, regardless of gender. Jesus taught and healed men and women alike. ALL sin and fall short of the glory of God, not just women.

[@JohnK-pb6mn]

i think we agree mostly. its just that women now a days are trying to take over the man. Which is very bad. with feminisem, trans ect.@@DH-en4th

[@JohnK-pb6mn]

and women are not to present half naked walking around, or online ect. thats in the bible. it weakens the men.@@DH-en4th
