Yeah, my doctor and I had a real tense argument when I asked her for several blood tests to see if my lifestyle and food changes were working. Needless to say, I didn't get the blood tests. I did get most of them before I went in for spinal fusion surgery, because that doctor knew I had to be in good shape for a surgery. I told her (my doctor) that it makes so much more sense to test to prevent disease from deficiencies. She told me that was not how she had been trained (there is the problem right there!).
The relationship between gp's and the pharmaceutical industry is pretty symbiotic. Looks like it's up to us to find online doctors like Dr Hyman and to do our own research.
As Eric from South Main Auto says, "Well there's your problem, lady!"
I had the same issue. I use a website called "walk in labs" to be able to schedule test without a doctor.
💯 You go! Whose body is it anyway? As a patient a doctor angrily tried to push, and a researcher primarily in healthspan, I've been there. Wondered why our U.S. medical outcomes are low, while costs 200% +, among advanced nations. Hmmm..
For 1-1-25 I'm working towards a blog, TH-cam channel, see where platforms go. Did come up with DIY methods to clear a near miss in cardio system, didn't notice 60 pounds quietly going away. Till put on 👖, they fell down 😜 This profit based "health care" / Big Pharma $ystem, it's 🤡 🌎. Good to see others looking for what works 🌈 💡
Traditionally trained MDs are at odds with functional medicine and osteopathic trained doctors. I think, especially now, they're feeling threatened and they can be quite defensive when you step out of their lane and start requesting additional testing.
Mult, Fish oil, Vitamin D3, Magnesium, Probiotic. Creatine.
I'll add crack.
K2 with D3
which form of Mg.?
@@ash9x9 I use Biopitimizer's Magnesium Breakthroughs.
@@ash9x9 I'm using Bioptimizers
Supplements have changed my life.
I feel better. My labs are unrecognizable.
And I got off so many medications.
My mom did the same. So grateful!
Thank you for a good informational video. As one who is now in her 70's, it is even more important to understand the benefits and roles of supplements. In January i was surfing TH-cam and stumbled across some videos dealing with vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Out of curiosity I began watching and realized I was very likely deficient in magnesium (lots of cramps in legs, feet and hands, much trouble sleeping, feeling stressed out). The result was much more research to understand more about it and thus learned how it was also important to also have adequate vitamin D3 along with it. It has taken a few months (from January to June) to restore the balance and now just take a minimal amount (100mg) - a decrease from the 300 mg I was taking daily. This has provided the biggest change for me -- I feel so much better and more engaged in life. My other basic supplements include taking a daily vitamin B complex, Omega 3, D3 and D3 with K2, and vitamin C with zinc. Will also mention my diet is sugar free and gluten-free (and has been for many years). The other change I am implementing is increasing my stomach acid taking olive oil mixed with apple cider vinegar with my meals. Already noticing some benefits with my digestion and overall well-- being. thank you for providing this for us -- it can be life-changing to discover what is missing in your diet.
Exact same for me.... I also take cocoa drinks and eat lots of tomatoes...
Please make a list. That would help us more. Where can you buy a quality multivitamin? There are so many to choose from. How does one choose a good probiotic? There are so many.
That is my problem. I want to buy a quality product but living in a small Midwest town they don’t have any options besides Walmart
Xtend life. Newzealand based. Best one i have found.
Top Notch Suppliers to order from:
Global Healing
Standard Process
Endurance Products Co.
He said Thorne was a quality brand when speaking about iron and it’s affordable too. Looking at them now. Their magnesium is pretty pricey but I guess you get what you pay for. I’ll give it a try
@@NYDebs bravo 🙌🏼 👏🏻 same here 😎
Thank you guys for talking about it! I also have anxiety when it comes to money and being financially independent. I actually made a point of not getting into a serious relationship before I could feel comfortable financially and secure in my professional skills. I too always expect my partner to question me about what I buy although he's NEVER done it, not even a hint. The problem is that our generation (I'm 32) grew up surrounded by divorces where women were mostly homemakers whose purchases were always questioned and viewed as frivolous, and they had to fight to get anything from the divorces. This happened between my parents and paternal grandparents (at 60). That is why this fear is embedded in me and in many other women. Carry on, you guys with this podcast!🎉
Dr. Mark Hyman, can you do a video on high mercury blood levels from eating too much fish? I joined Function Health and my blood work showed high mercury levels. I do not eat sugar, fructose, etc, no seed oils, and no processed foods. I eat grass fed organic beef, pasture raised organic chicken & eggs, organic fruit and veggies. I love seafood, including anchovies and sardines, and I thought I was eating healthy until my mercury levels showed as very high. I also take Omega 3 EPA, DHA.
I've heard one benefit of magnesium Glycinate is that it helps chelate mercury so it can be eliminated from the body
I'll admit I was highly skeptical of supplementations' ability to combat my depression, but I started on folate (methylation complete), fish oil, creatine monohydrate, magnesium glycinate, and a few others about 2.5 years ago. I have now been able to decrease my SSRI dosage from a large dose to half a pill per day and I feel better than ever.
Dr Thank you very much for always sharing health wellness wisdom !!!
👍🙂💙🙏🏼
my current supp stack journey:
1. multi
2. fish oil.
3. garlic+horseradish+vit c
4. whey protein isolate
D3 + K2 for absorbtion
Thank you sir!
B & B12 = Game changer
K2?
Thanks for sharing ❤I agree with your list of supplements wholeheartedly
Where are the show notes that list brands of supplements please
MAY GOD CONTINUE to bless you for your intensively pivotal contentinformation/guidance. For quality I shall begin with ordering pre/probiotics and supplements from Doctor’s Pharmacy.
Thank you MARK HYMAN
No mention of K2. Very important.
Yes, I take a D3+K2 supplement, also a multi vitamin, magnesium, potassium, B-12, iron supplement. I had gastric sleeve surgery 8 years ago.so my supplements are important to me.
@@tammywade3649 yes I think vitamins are important. I have osteoporosis so K2 is very important along with quite a few others.
What do you know about Fatty 15 and C15?
Never knew about creatine, always thought it was bad on my blood test levels?
Creatine supplements and kidney creatinine are not the same. Ask your doctor to explain the difference.
What brand of vitamins do you suggest?
I'm a huge fan mark I signed up for functional health and did very well on your test. I have a regenerative garden in my yard I even have my own TH-cam channel on called urban regenerative gardening
could you share why did you choose functional health? I’m trying to decide if I should go with functional health or dr. Ekberg’s blood work.
Excellent as always.
Thank you for this.
High Quality:
1. Multi vitamin
2. Iron
3. Vitamin D
4. Omega fish oil
5. Magnesium
6. Probiotic
7. Creatine
Edit:
- D3 with K2
- Magnesium Glycinate
Great video, Dr. Hyman. Your emphasis on nutrient deficiencies is spot on. It's clear our modern diets fall short. I appreciate the practical advice on essential supplements. While whole foods are ideal, targeted supplementation can be a valuable tool. Let's encourage more research on supplement efficacy and safety to empower informed choices.
Thank you.
Thank you ❤
No mention of C15:0 (Fatty15), despite endorsing & selling it on your website. How come?
I actually take Fatty15. But, had he mentioned it, people would be accusing him of pushing it.
@@claireg2769 ah, ok, fair comment! How are you finding the Fatty15, have you noticed any differences since taking it? I actually just ordered some to try.
Thank Dr Hyman 🙏💯
Love the intro.
I have heard that A multi vitamin mineral combo is not a good idea. If you take all these together they can cancel out each other. Some vitamins are rendered useless because they bind to the calcium and dont get absorbed. Is this true?
I am anxiously awaiting results from my Function Health testing. Hoping for answers to health issues and solutions
I’m debating to go with Function Health or Dr. Ekberg blood work. Hope you’ll find answers you are looking for.
How much vitamin D can I safely take? I'm taking it but my body is not absorbing it, because I'm still low in vitamin D. Thanks
Be sure to take D3 with K2 so the Calcium stays balanced in your body
Geez this video is like a Hyman brain dump. Too much info too fast and scattered. This need to be condensed into an organized presentation with visual list, charts and references to where to get more information - link to your specific videos or websites. My head is spinning after 7 minutes and I already know must of this because Ive watched every video and interview he's ever done!
I highly doubt our ancestral diet was 10 to 12 servings of fruits and vegetables. So which is it?
Just because our ancestors didn't have 10 servings of vegetables doesn't mean it is not optimal. Not everything out ancestors did was optimal.
That's why they all died very early vs today
And also some Doctors say that Multi are not good anymore😢
My doctors'/lab's lower reference range for ferritin is 5, so over the past 10 years, when my ferritin level (on iron pills) comes back at 23-31, I'm told, "Your iron looks good!" and my complaints of fatigue and weakness are ignored. I had a hematologist/oncologist prescribe IV iron in 2007, and I felt amazing for a few years. I'm curious if Function Health uses established reference ranges or optimal reference ranges.
the laugh at laying down 'if you want to check my facts, go ahead' at 13:35
What about Electrolytes
Ha ha I’m living in this environment with the guys being sprayed our food being poisoned, good good luck trying to find all those good things, clean water, etc.
How about a video where you answer questions only from viewers please
Dr Hyman, can you please advise me as to how to restore my body. I had a stroke in May. And since then I’ve had a heart monitor placed in my chest.
What supplements do I need to take for my heart and brain. My short term memory is still not functioning properly. What can you please advise me what to do.
Thank you so very much for your help. Blessings
Unfortunately, no doctor will give you personal advice on youtube. You can either do a lot of research online regarding cardiovascular health (particularly stroke) or consult a physician trained in lifestyle or wholistic medicine. A good place to start is to google Dr. Joel Kahn and Simon Hill. Dr. Kahn is a plant based cardiologist who recommends lifestyle modifications including supplements. Simon Hill has a great podcast, The Proof with amazing guests who address cardiovascular disease. Dr Kahn has a newsletter and podcast and If you have the funds, Dr Kahn treats patients as well. Personally, I would limit saturated fat and include lots of vegetables, berries and legumes. A little clean fish would probably be good too. Good luck.
how much creatine???????
3 to 5 mgs
My blood test revealed homocysteine was a concern. What are the best supplements for this? It said I was at risk for dementia.
Its B12, B9, B6 vitamins most often. High homosysteine is a high risk for CVD, not for dementia.
Also look at diet. Foods that can raise homocysteine levels include red meat, dairy products, processed foods, and alcohol.
@@robynreid21 none should make injections of these Bs.
Its more reliable and quicker.
@@pininfarinarossa8112Did your blood works include B12 and B6 levels? Vitamins b12 and B6 needed to metabolize homocysteine . Homocysteine levels should be fine n see angle digits an higher than 11.5 increases risk of brain shrinkage ( per Dr Dale Bredesen). Cardiovascular risk increases also. Absorption of B12 is tricky, if your level is low despite supplements try a sublingual form. since B vitamins work together supplement them as a group. B12 " normal range is huge, should be at least 500. Per Dr. Bredesen less than 350 hurts the brain.
@@pininfarinarossa8112He needs B12 and folate checked in his blood work. B12 is harder to absorb as we get older, a sublingual form or a shot of B12 can help. Per Dr. Dale Bredesen B12 blood levels less than 350 are harmful to the brain.
does epsom salt foot soaks enough to get daily Mg requirements?
No. Wrong form. You can buy a spray. Citrate, Magtein
Magnesium Glycinate is not that expensive
Hi dr, do you have any recommendations for autistic treatment. Or any supplements will be helpful. Please respond. Thanks
Ketogenic/carnivore diet, O3, D vit, and test to see what else is missing or under as B1, B3, B12, Folate and so on. Listen Andrew Huberman podcasts, Dr. Berg, David Perlmutter
But when do you take them and not to.mix together @markhyman
💭💭 DR HYMAN what about the iron caused constipation❔
💭💭 is there an iron supplement that doesn’t 👎🏻 cause constipation❔
Yes, vegetarian iron liquid you can find at health stores
I take a Vitamin D3 with K2, Magnesium and Zinc included. Other than that I add Wheat Grass powder to a smoothie every other day for trace minerals.
May I know the brand you take? Thanks
@@htaythan2582 I take Dr Eric Berg's D3 ordered directly through him and PINES organic Wheat Grass ordered through Amazon.
@@htaythan2582 use Magnesium Glycinate only
@@htaythan2582 Vitamin D brand is by Dr Eric Berg and the Wheat Grass is PINES Organic powder ordered through Amazon; also comes in capsules.
Do you have any suggested or recommended functional doctor in the UK that follows closely your philosophy?
Can we do your tests if we're in the UK please?
I’m a 42yr old woman and I have a low iron with fibroids 😩 any advice !?🤔 thanks 😊
I had fibroids size of 5 month fetus. I did a fibroid Embolzation procedure. No longer anemic and fibroids shrink to nothing
@@lindavendome8627 is that surgery 🤔
I would love to support dr h but are there any more affordable ways to be tested ? I love functional medicine but I cannot find a practitioner that takes insurance
Are these functional tests available to Canadians?
What about the risk of afib with fish oil supplements?
Take flax and real vit E
The show notes say ‘page not found’
I've always heard that multi vitamins never get absorbed!??
My Mom told me that happens with Cen trum 👍
need timestmap
Glucose or fructose which one is responsible for diabetes?
Both
@@cassidylove154 but someone says that fructose is more responsible than glucose, is it right?
It's Sucrose and Fructose at high concentrations as found is virtually all fast foods and processed foods.
Fructose is major both type 2 and 3 diabetes.
I use 75 net carbs a day as a guide. Taken via vegetables will increase fiber intake.
Moderation is key.
@@saifuddinmolla8083fructose causes more damage than glucose but high glucose can also be problematic.
Does everyone need to be tested yearly for Parasites?
Great question
So wait we want wild salmon? Or we want farm
Raised salmon?
Never farm raised. Fed grains and antibiotics.
Always Wildcaught.

What's up with the enhanced photography? Your skin looks clear, perfect and tanned, fake? Why? Can't take a few winkles? I listen to you for reality not Hollywood. Usually a huge fan. I don't see you replying to comments, quite interesting.
But what type of Magnesium? How about a video on the different types of Magnesium? You want to be sure you are taking the correct form of Magnesium that you need. There are several different forms of magnesium and each one addresses certain symptoms. Magnesium citrate, magnesium oxide, magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, magnesium glycinate, magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium maleate, magnesium L-threonate, magnesium bicarbonate, magnesium taurate, magnesium orotate, magnesium lysinate, magnesium aspartame…It is definitely confusing.
Glycinate is the one and only
💯
stage 4 breast cancer ???
Also, see Barbra O'Neil she's good 👍🏻 Take care!
Keto diet! You may want to listen to Dr. Thomas Seyfried from Boston College, author of books on caner. Here, on YT, there are many interviews with him; a trustworthy scholar! May God help you!
No pasta, no rice, no potatoe. Leek, green onion, mushroom, broccoli soup every week. Eat avocados. Eat eggs. Eat broccoli sprouts. Take magnesium, D3, and methyl B vitamins (in the ACTIVE forms only) every day. Eat full fat no sugar yogurt it will taste tart. Work your way up to fasting once a week. Drink tea with honey, lemon, ginger, garlic.
Broccoli sprouts and leeks.
Also work your way up to one day a week fasting.
