In this episode of Sober Head Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Mark Hyman, one of the world’s leading voices in functional medicine, metabolic health, longevity, and food policy. We explore why chronic disease is rising globally, why metabolic dysfunction is often missed by standard medical testing, and how ultra-processed foods, sugar, starch, pesticides, seed oils, and modern food systems are reshaping our health.Dr. Hyman explains why obesity, diabetes, fatty liver disease, depression, anxiety, Alzheimer’s, autism, MS, and other chronic conditions cannot be understood only as personal failures. Instead, many of these issues may be linked to systemic problems in food production, medical education, pharmaceutical incentives, environmental toxins, and the modern lifestyle. We also discuss insulin resistance, why fasting glucose and HbA1c can look normal while someone is still metabolically unhealthy, the importance of measuring insulin, the gut-brain connection, leaky gut, leaky brain, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial health, GLP-1 drugs, peptides, stem cells, gene therapies, urolithin A, spermidine, sauna, cold exposure, protein needs with aging, and the future of functional medicine.One of the most powerful parts of the conversation is Dr. Hyman’s message for Turkey: traditional Turkish food culture may already be one of the best longevity foundations; olive oil, yogurt, eggs, vegetables, legumes, herbs, real food, quality protein, and community. His warning is clear: protect your traditions, and do not become fully Americanized by ultra-processed food culture. This episode is a deep conversation about personal responsibility, food policy, metabolic health, functional medicine, brain inflammation, longevity, and the future of medicine.#EsraÇavuşoğlu #AyıkKafa #ElevatingLifeEvolvingHealth #Longevilab #DrMarkHymanDr. Mark Hyman, MD Website: https://drhyman.com/pages/about-dr-hyman YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ultrawellness Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmarkhyman/Special thanks to T.C.
