How did Jeff Bland reverse his biological age?
Coming up on this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show. Your chronological age was 79, but your biological age was 62. Your testosterone levels were that of a 30-year-old. What's most contributed to that?
It's about how do you maximize the genetic potential that lies within your genome to be the best person you can be.
Jeff Bland is the father of functional medicine, a pioneering nutritional biochemist who turned his own body into a lab for longevity. Most doctors don't know how to assess mitochondrial health, assess function. Now we're realizing it's connected to so many of the chronic illnesses. It's an energy problem.
If you have impaired mitochondrial function, your immune system is tired. It's worn out. It's engaged with reduction of longevity.
The most effective treatments for everything that I've come across is something we call In functional medicine, we always start with the gut. It's at the core of nearly every aspect of health, from digestion and immune function to brain and skin health. Your gut microbiome regulates inflammation, absorbs nutrients, and maintains the integrity of your gut barrier. That's why I take and recommend Seeds DS-01 Daily Symbiotic, a next-level probiotic designed to go beyond digestion. With 24 clinically studied probiotic strains and a pomegranate-based prebiotic, Seeds DS-01 supports gut immune function, gut barrier integrity, and even heart health through the gut-liver axis. But here's what's really exciting.
Research now shows that gut health directly impacts skin health through the gut-skin axis. Seeds DS01 contains targeted strains clinically validated to support clear, hydrated skin from within. As a member of Seeds' clinical board, I've seen the science behind their formulations. And new research shows Seeds DS01 supports short-chain fatty acid production. which is key for gut barrier function, immune health, and healthy aging. If you're ready to optimize your gut health, Seed is offering my community 25% off your first month. Just head to seed.com slash hyman and use code 25-hyman at checkout.

I know many of you are as focused on recovery and longevity as I am, especially when it comes to managing pain and optimizing healing. After a recent back procedure, I needed something to help support my recovery and ease tension, and that's when I found the Bond Charge Infrared PMF Mat.
This technology combines infrared heat to boost circulation and reduce inflammation with pulsed electromagnetic field, also called PEMF therapy, to stimulate cellular repair and relieve deep muscle tension. It's been a game changer for me, whether I'm recovering from physical therapy, decompressing after a long day, or simply supporting my body's natural healing process. I just lay down, let the warmth and PEMF pulses do their thing, and I feel the benefits, better mobility, reduced soreness, and even deeper sleep. If you're dealing with back pain, stiffness, or just want to enhance your recovery and performance, I highly recommend trying it. Head to bondcharge.com and use code DRMARK to save 15%.

Now, before we jump into today's episode, I'd like to note that while I wish I could help everyone by my personal practice, there's simply not enough time for me to do this at scale. And that's why I've been busy building several passion projects to help you better understand, well, you.
