Welcome to Office Hours.

This is our dedicated one-on-one space to go deeper, get clearer, and explore what truly moves the needle for your health.

I'm Dr. Mark Hyman, and each week we're going to pull back the curtain and share the insights, the research, the lessons that don't always make it into our conversations with guests.

Because at the end of the day, you are the CEO of your own health.

And for many of you, your family's health too.

And you might not feel it all the time, but you have far more power and agency than you realize.

I'm glad you're here.

Imagine spending hundreds, maybe even a thousand dollars on your blood work only for your doctor to look you in the eye and say, everything's normal, you're fine, but you're not fine.

You're exhausted, you have brain fog, you can't lose weight.

And that frustrating gap between what the lab says and what your body is screaming is the very reason we created this episode.

We're going to show you why those quote normal ranges are actually broken and not accurate and how to find the real hidden story your blood is telling you.

I always say, if you go to the doctor and you get a checkup and you feel like crap and your doctor says, well, your exam is fine, your labs are fine.

There's only two possibilities there.

One, either you're crazy or your doctor is missing something.
