02 Apr 2025
We’re overfed, but undernourished. Despite having access to more food than ever, most people are walking around with nutrient deficiencies that could be accelerating aging, increasing disease risk, and depleting energy levels. That’s why I sat down with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a leading expert in nutritional science and aging, to break down what we’re missing—and why it matters. In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, we explore: Why nearly 70% of Americans are deficient in vitamin D and what that means for longevity. The overlooked role of magnesium in metabolism, blood sugar, and brain function. Why our food system leaves us malnourished—even if we eat a “healthy” diet. The best way to assess and correct micronutrient imbalances for optimal health. Your body can’t function properly without the right nutrients. This episode will show you how to fill the gaps and take control of your health.
