Summary
Melissa sits down with Dr. Mark Hyman to discuss what it truly means to feel your best. They explore how many people settle for “feeling fine” when optimal health is possible through small but powerful lifestyle changes. Dr. Hyman shares insights on the root causes of inflammation and disease, the importance of living in alignment with your values, and how loneliness can affect health just as much as diet or sleep. They also touch on Melissa’s personal journey with nutrition - where she and Dr. Hyman agree, and where they differ - especially around protein. He offers a look into his daily routine and explains the mission behind Function Health, his platform designed to help people get ahead of illness by understanding their bodies from the inside out.
