Summary

Medicine stands at the threshold of a new era, where artificial intelligence and systems biology are working hand in hand to make care more personal, predictive, and precise than ever before. AI is already improving diagnostic accuracy, automating administrative tasks, and uncovering patterns in data—like retinal scans or genomics—that humans often miss. Rather than replacing doctors, AI enhances their ability to deliver more informed, precise, and efficient care. At the same time, individuals are gaining tools—from at-home diagnostics to wearable biosensors—that empower them to track and optimize their own health. This shift marks a move from reactive, disease-centered care to a proactive, data-driven model of scientific wellness. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Eric Topol, Dr. Nathan Price, Dr. Leroy Hood, Dr. Vijay Pande, and Daisy Wolf about how artificial intelligence, personalized data, and wearable technology are converging to radically transform medicine. Dr. Eric Topol is Executive Vice President of Scripps Research and founder/director of its Translational Institute, recognized as one of the top 10 most cited researchers in medicine with over 1,300 publications. A cardiologist and author of several bestselling books on the future of medicine, he leads major NIH grants in precision medicine and shares cutting-edge biomedical insights through his Ground Truths newsletter and podcast. Dr. Nathan Price is Chief Scientific Officer at Thorne HealthTech, author of The Age of Scientific Wellness, and a National Academy of Medicine Emerging Leader. He also serves on the Board on Life Sciences for the National Academies and is Affiliate Faculty in Bioengineering and Computer Science at the University of Washington. Dr. Leroy Hood is CEO and founder of Phenome Health, leading the Human Phenome Initiative to sequence and track the health of one million people over 10 years. A pioneer in systems biology and co-founder of 17 biotech companies, he is a recipient of the Lasker Prize, Kyoto Prize, and National Medal of Science. Dr. Vijay Pande is a General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz and founder of a16z Bio + Health, managing over $3 billion in life sciences and healthcare investments at the intersection of biology and AI. An Adjunct Professor at Stanford, he is known for his work in computational science, earning honors like the DeLano Prize and a Guinness World Record for Folding@Home. Daisy Wolf is an investing partner at Andreessen Horowitz, specializing in healthcare AI, consumer health, and healthcare-fintech innovation. She previously worked at Meta and in various startups, holds a JD from Yale Law, an MBA from Stanford, and a BA from Yale, and is based in New York City.

0:00.0	Coming up on this episode of the Dr. Hyman Show.
0:02.7	The thing about replacing doctors, the line that I really like, I think it's Eric Kilpals,
0:06.9	which is AI won't replace doctors, but doctors who use AI will replace doctors who don't.
0:11.7	And I think that is a really good way to put it because it is a tool.
0:18.3	If you're living on caffeine, constantly tired, and feel like your stress is stuck on high,
0:23.0	there's a good chance you're low in magnesium.
0:25.5	Magnesium is critical for turning food into energy, calming your nervous system,
0:29.0	helping you sleep, and regulating your mood.
0:31.1	And here's the kicker.
0:32.1	Up to 80% of us aren't getting enough.
0:34.3	That kind of chronic deficiency may contribute to feelings of burnout, occasional
0:38.2	tension, irritability, and the kind of fatigue that coffee can't fix. That's why I recommend
0:43.2	magnesium breakthrough, why bioptimizers? It's the only formula that combines all seven
0:47.5	essential forms of magnesium, including glycinate for calm and citrate for digestion. Most
0:52.6	magnesium supplements only offer one or two forms.
0:55.7	Magnesium breakthrough covers them all for deeper sleep, better focus, less tension, and real
0:59.7	support during stressful times. If your body's feeling off, this might be the missing link.

1:10.5	Before we jump into today's episode, I want to share a few ways you can go deeper on your health journey.
