Dr. Mark Hyman is reframing our concept of getting old.
In Dr. Hyman’s view, it’s only a matter of time before our annual checkup tracks much more than just blood pressure and cholesterol levels — it will be an opportunity to apply principles of functional medicine to your everyday lifestyle in order to promote health, longevity, and ultimately prepare us to become fully functional centenarians.
What’s really interesting is that people are doing all sorts of stuff topically and dermatologists are making a fortune. Plastic surgeons are making a fortune. But the truth is that most beauty starts on the inside. It’s your nutritional status, your gut microbiome, your level of inflammation, your level of oxidative stress. They all play a role. It’s really not that hard to fix your appearance through lifestyle.
You don’t need stem cells. You don’t need exosomes and peptides and all that stuff that people are doing. It’s great. But it’s also not really essential in our current understanding of how our biology works and that we can actually activate these ancient longevity systems and pathways. That’s really a key message here. Our body has these ancient built-in survival mechanisms. We have 3,000 genes that regulate our survival and these are mostly screwed up by our modern lifestyle.
