Mark Hyman
New protocols and grade changes land in My Protocols.
Mark Hyman is a functional medicine physician, host of The Doctor's Farmacy podcast, and co-founder and chief medical officer of Function Health, known for arguing that most chronic disease traces back to a handful of root causes: blood sugar dysregulation, chronic inflammation, gut dysfunction, and a diet built on ultra-processed food. He founded the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine and directs the UltraWellness Center, and he popularized the Pegan diet, a hybrid of paleo and vegan principles built around whole foods, healthy fats, protein and vegetables, and minimal sugar or refined carbohydrates. His core recommendations are food-first: eliminate ultra-processed food, prioritize protein and fiber, and stabilize blood sugar, with a smaller supplement layer (vitamin D, omega-3, magnesium, a multivitamin) added on top rather than substituted for diet. Through Function Health, he pushes routine lab testing so people can see their own biomarkers instead of guessing. YourProtocol covers the specific, evidence-graded protocols behind his approach below.
