Author: Dr. Mark Hyman December 31, 2025 Duration: 1:29:04
This week, in another holiday edition of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m highlighting a conversation with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a leading expert in nutritional science and aging — a discussion that still feels incredibly important today. We dig into how hidden micronutrient deficiencies can influence metabolism, mood, longevity, and long-term health. Here’s to supporting our health in the year ahead. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why vitamin D is essential for longevity, immune health, and mood • How magnesium influences metabolism, blood sugar, and brain function • Why even “healthy” diets can leave us undernourished • What it takes to test and personalize your micronutrient intake Better aging starts by giving your cells what they’re missing. When your body has the right nutrients, it can repair, renew, and thrive at any stage of life. Here’s to a healthy start to the new year — I’m excited for what we’ll explore together.
