Mark Hyman: Struggling With Brain Fog, Weight Gain, and Low Energy? It’s Likely Hidden Inflammation! (Do THIS to Reverse It)

<p>Do you struggle to focus on simple tasks?</p> <p>Do you feel mentally &ldquo;slowed down&rdquo; during the day?</p> <p>Today, Jay welcomes back his dear friend and trailblazer in functional medicine, Dr. Mark Hyman. Mark Hyman, MD is the co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Function Health, the fastest growing health company in the U.S. In this extremely vulnerable conversation, Mark recounts his near-death experience after a severe spinal infection left him unable to walk and fighting for his life. Despite decades of living and teaching optimal health, he suddenly found himself dependent on others for even the simplest tasks. Over the course of five determined months, Mark applied the very principles he has championed for years: nutritional excellence, disciplined daily movement, and an unshakable mindset. Not only did he make a full recovery, but came back stronger than ever at the age of 65, proving that the body&rsquo;s innate healing capacity can be reignited at any stage of life.</p> <p>The conversation explores the critical role mindset plays in recovery and underscores the often-overlooked connection between diet, lifestyle, and overall well-being. Mark explains how chronic illness is frequently driven by hidden inflammation, fueled by ultra-processed foods, sugar, and environmental toxins. He breaks down the science behind his 10-Day Detox, a simple yet powerful reset proven to dramatically reduce symptoms such as fatigue, pain, and digestive distress. The discussion also delves into the growing prevalence of autoimmune conditions, the hidden epidemic of nutrient deficiencies, and why personalized health data is essential for identifying risks before they become life-threatening.</p> <p>In this interview, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Rebuild Your Health After a Major Setback</p> <p>How to Use Mindset as Your Greatest Healing Tool</p> <p>How to Reduce Inflammation Through Diet</p> <p>How to Spot the Early Signs of Autoimmune Disease</p> <p>How to Use Food as Medicine Every Day</p> <p>How to Take Small Daily Steps Toward Lifelong Wellness</p> <p>Healing isn&rsquo;t instant, but each intentional choice, a nourishing meal, a mindful moment, a restful night, builds momentum toward changes far greater than expected.</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p><strong><em>Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free newsletter.

Stop Confusing Chemistry for Compatibility! (THIS Shift Will SAVE You from Wasting Time in the WRONG Relationships)

<p>Today, Jay reflects on the lessons about love he wishes he had known in his twenties. He examines how movies, media, and cultural narratives have long shaped unrealistic expectations about romance, often equating love with grand gestures, nonstop excitement, and fairy tale endings. Jay challenges these ideas, by showing that true love is not constant fireworks, but a balance of peace, stability, and passion. He explains how the thrill is often mistaken for attraction, and how the calm that comes from trust and consistency is actually the real foundation of a healthy relationship, even if often mistaken for boredom.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Jay also explores the critical role of self-awareness and boundaries in fostering meaningful relationships. He discusses how love without boundaries can cause you to lose yourself, and how repeating familiar emotional patterns from the past can keep you stuck in cycles that feel comfortable but are ultimately harmful. Through relatable examples, Jay highlights the importance of defining emotional non-negotiables, paying attention to how a partner handles boredom and conflict, and understanding the influence of attachment styles. Jay emphasizes that successful relationships are not about finding someone perfect, but about choosing a partner who is willing to heal, grow, and face challenges together.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In this episode, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Set Boundaries Without Pushing Love Away</p> <p>How to Handle Conflict Without Ruining a Relationship</p> <p>How to Recognize the Difference Between Lust and Love</p> <p>How to Break Unhealthy Relationship Patterns</p> <p>How to Choose Patience and Healing in Relationships</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Finding real love isn&rsquo;t an end goal, it&rsquo;s an ongoing journey you take with intention, compassion, and patience. It&rsquo;s something you build over time through quiet moments, healthy boundaries, and a commitment to grow, both on your own and together.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><em>Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free newsletter.

<p>Have you ever failed at something you really wanted?</p> <p>What did that experience teach you about yourself?</p> <p>Today, Jay chats with late-night legend Jimmy Kimmel for an unforgettable live conversation at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Jimmy opens the episode playfully roasting Jay, showing off his signature, sharp wit right out of the gate. The laughs quickly give way to a candid, wide-ranging conversation about Jimmy&rsquo;s&nbsp; life, marked by gutsy decisions, constant reinvention, and moments of surprising vulnerability.</p> <p>Jimmy reflects on the emotional cost of self-expression, his early struggles with being misunderstood, and how persistence (and a healthy dose of delusion) helped him find his place in the world. Jimmy shares how anxiety has shaped his life, from growing up without much money to now being someone people rely on for support, advice, and even financial help. From outrageous pranks and career missteps to a touching tribute to his prank-loving Aunt Chippy, Jimmy constantly balances humor with disarming honesty. Jimmy also opens up about the challenges of becoming more emotionally available, how therapy has helped him grow, and how being a father, and now a grandfather, has reshaped his priorities and softened his edges.</p> <p>In this interview, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Stay True to Yourself</p> <p>How to Use Humor as a Tool for Healing</p> <p>How to Keep a Lifelong Passion Alive</p> <p>How to Stay Grounded When Success Finds You</p> <p>How to Cope With Anxiety Through Creative Outlets</p> <p>How Helping Others is the Key to Healing Yourself</p> <p>It&rsquo;s not about being perfect, it&rsquo;s about being honest, showing up, and continuing to try.

Named the &ldquo;Millennial Parent Whisperer&rdquo; by Time, Dr. Becky is known for her compassionate, practical approach to raising emotionally healthy children while maintaining strong, sturdy leadership as a parent.</p> <p>In this eye-opening conversation, Jay and Dr. Becky explore why modern parenting often swings between dismissing children&rsquo;s emotions and letting them call the shots, sharing practical ways to find the balance in between.

She explains why constantly optimizing for happiness for your kids can actually create anxiety later in life, why letting kids struggle is key to building resilience, and how to release the heavy burden of &ldquo;mom guilt&rdquo; by recognizing which emotions are yours to carry and which belong to your child.</p> <p>In this interview, you&rsquo;ll learn:</p> <p>How to Repair After Rupture and Strengthen Connection</p> <p>How to Set Boundaries Without Power Struggles</p> <p>How to Validate Feelings Without Over-Coddling</p> <p>How to Build Capable and Resilient Kids</p> <p>Why Not All &ldquo;Mom Guilt&rdquo; is Actually Guilt</p> <p>How to Balance Empathy with Leadership as a Parent</p> <p>Parenting isn&rsquo;t about getting it perfect.

Olga Khazan: Do You Feel Socially Awkward? This Episode Will Change Your Life &amp; INSTANTLY Make You Confident in ANY Social Interaction

<p>Do you ever feel like who you are is holding you back?</p> <p>Can you really change your personality &mdash; or are you stuck with it for life?</p> <p>Today, Jay sits down with award-winning journalist and author Olga Khazan, whose groundbreaking book Me But Better explores the science of personality change. As a staff writer at The Atlantic, Olga has spent years investigating what shapes who we are &mdash; and whether it&rsquo;s possible to become more confident, resilient, and fulfilled by intentionally shifting our traits.</p> <p>Jay and Olga explore the surprising research showing that personality isn&rsquo;t fixed &mdash; and that with consistent effort, anyone can become a different version of themselves. Olga shares how she transformed traits like anxiety and self-doubt by applying science-backed tools and testing them in her own life.</p> <p>They dive deep into how habits shape identity, why a strong &ldquo;why&rdquo; is essential for lasting change, and how the traits we envy in others might point us toward who we&rsquo;re meant to become.

If You’re Waiting for the “Right Time” to Start — This is for YOU! (Stop Letting Perfection Hold You Back!)

<p>Today, Jay dives into a feeling many of us know well: the sense that nothing in life is going the way we hoped. Whether your career feels stuck, your relationships feel off, or you&rsquo;re just not where you thought you&rsquo;d be by now. Jay reminds us that feeling stuck doesn't mean you've failed, but could be life giving you a moment to pause and reset. Jay explains that the way we experience reality depends on what we choose to focus on. When we're fixated on what's going wrong, we often miss the small signs that things are already starting to move forward.</p> <p>Jay also challenges the idea that success is supposed to be linear or perfect. He reminds us that the people who seem ahead aren&rsquo;t more talented, they just started sooner. Rather tha comparing ourselves to someone else&rsquo;s timeline, Jay encourages us to focus on our own path and let go of the pressure to have it all figured out. Instead of trying to achieve something massive all at once, Jay encourages us to &ldquo;shrink the vision, save the dream,&rdquo; and take small, consistent steps that compound into real transformation. He reminds us that a plateau isn&rsquo;t a setback, it&rsquo;s a season of quiet growth that often comes right before a breakthrough.</p> <p>In this episode, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Break Mental Overload with Movement</p> <p>How to Take Action Before You Feel Ready</p> <p>How to Stop Waiting for the Perfect Time to Start</p> <p>How to Reframe Feeling Stuck</p> <p>How to Build Momentum with Tiny Steps</p> <p>No matter where you are in your journey, remember this: you&rsquo;re not behind, you&rsquo;re not broken, and you haven&rsquo;t missed your chance. Feeling stuck doesn&rsquo;t mean you&rsquo;re failing, it means you&rsquo;re in the middle of growth.&nbsp;</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p><strong><em>Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free newsletter.

Giles Yeo: The #1 Reason You’re NOT Losing Weight (Follow THIS Diet and Start Losing Weight TODAY!)

<p>Have you ever counted calories before?</p> <p>What&rsquo;s one small change you&rsquo;d like to make in how you eat?</p> <p>Today, Jay invites geneticist and author Giles Yeo to challenge one of the most persistent beliefs in modern health culture: the idea that all calories are created equal. Giles is a professor at the University of Cambridge, specializing in the study of how genes influence appetite and body weight. He is the author of Gene Eating and Why Calories Don&rsquo;t Count, both of which challenge conventional diet myths through the lens of cutting-edge science. Giles is also a science communicator and host of the podcast Dr. Giles Yeo Chews the Fat, where he breaks down complex nutritional concepts with clarity and humor.</p> <p>Jay begins by asking the question on everyone&rsquo;s mind&mdash;do calories really count? Giles, with a calm and science-grounded approach, unpacks why the answer isn&rsquo;t so simple. While calorie counting has become a cornerstone of dieting, he explains that the way our bodies extract and process calories depends heavily on the quality of the food, not just the number printed on a label.&nbsp;</p> <p>Giles shares how our genetic makeup influences hunger, satiety, and fat storage in ways that most diet plans fail to consider. Jay and Giles explore the emotional and social layers of eating, diving into how cultural conditioning, access to healthy food, and even marketing affect our food choices. They also examine why it's harder for some people to lose weight than others&mdash;not because of laziness or lack of willpower, but because their biology is wired differently. Giles challenges the shame-based narratives around body weight and reframes the discussion around health, sustainability, and self-awareness.&nbsp;</p> <p>In this interview, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Eat for Quality, Not Just Calories</p> <p>How to Read Food Labels the Right Way</p> <p>How to Choose Protein, Fiber, and Sugar Wisely</p> <p>How to Spot Diet Myths That Don&rsquo;t Serve You</p> <p>How to Lose Weight Without Obsessing Over Numbers</p> <p>How to Understand Your Body&rsquo;s Unique Metabolism</p> <p>How to Manage Cravings with a Plan, Not Willpower</p> <p>You don&rsquo;t need to follow a strict diet or obsess over every calorie to feel better in your body. Instead, focus on nourishing yourself with real, quality foods, making small sustainable changes, and understanding how your unique biology works.</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p><strong><em>Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free newsletter.

⁠If You're Tired of Wasting Time on the Wrong People — THESE 9 Dating Questions Will Save You Years of Heartbreak!

<p>Today, Jay reframes how relationships are built&mdash;not through surface-level attraction or blind chemistry, but through clarity, communication, and intentionality. He presents nine transformative questions that often go unasked in modern dating, not because they&rsquo;re unimportant, but because they&rsquo;re uncomfortable. Jay explains that avoiding these conversations leads to assumptions, unmet expectations, and unnecessary heartache. He underscores that a healthy relationship isn't defined by constant harmony, but by the courage to ask, listen, and grow together.&nbsp;</p> <p>Blending personal stories, practical wisdom, and psychological insight, Jay highlights how asking the right questions early can reveal compatibility, values, and emotional readiness. He breaks down how these conversations create a shared language, prevent miscommunication, and ultimately strengthen the foundation of any relationship. Rather than using questions as ultimatums or pressure points, he encourages approaching them with curiosity and empathy.</p> <p>In this episode, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Ask What a Healthy Relationship Means to Your Partner</p> <p>How to Talk About Fears Around Commitment Without Pressure</p> <p>How to Discuss Conflict Styles Before an Argument Happens</p> <p>How to Know If Someone Is Truly Ready for a Relationship</p> <p>How to Align on Boundaries and Independence in Love</p> <p>Love doesn&rsquo;t have to be a guessing game.

The idea that creativity has to be profitable, that art must be perfect to be valuable, or that we need permission to begin.

As she and Jay reflect on marriage, communication, and the complexities of being modern, working mom, Nara&rsquo;s groundedness and clarity shine through. Nara opens up about her love story with Lucky Blue Smith&mdash;their whirlwind but intentional path to marriage&mdash;and the beautifully messy reality of raising three kids.

Dr. Orna Gurlanik: Struggling to Communicate With Your Partner? THIS One Habit Could Slowly Be Destroying Your Relationship! (Here’s How to Catch It Before It’s Too Late!)

<p>Do you ever feel like you're having the same fight over and over again?</p> <p>Why is it so hard to be in a relationship with someone who is different from you?</p> <p>Today, Jay sits down with Dr. Orna Guralnik &mdash; the world-renowned clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and lead therapist on the hit series <em>Couples Therapy</em>. Known for helping couples navigate the complexities of intimacy, conflict, and emotional patterns, Orna shares the real reason relationships break down &mdash; and what it actually takes to build something that lasts.</p> <p>Jay and Orna explore why couples often blame communication as the root of all their problems, when what&rsquo;s really breaking them down runs much deeper. They explore how differences in values, backgrounds, and even childhood wounds create invisible barriers in love&mdash;and how we often try to solve them by changing the other person instead of turning inward. Orna shares how blame, defensiveness, and scorekeeping keep us stuck in toxic patterns, and what it looks like to show up with more honesty, humility, and curiosity.</p> <p>Together Jay and Orna unpack the rise of therapy language online&mdash;terms like &ldquo;gaslighting&rdquo; and &ldquo;narcissist&rdquo;&mdash;and how misusing them can shut down the kind of open dialogue relationships truly need. They also explore how issues around money, time, and intimacy often point to deeper struggles with power, identity, and emotional safety.</p> <p>In this interview, you&rsquo;ll learn:</p> <p>How to Stop Trying to &ldquo;Fix&rdquo; Your Partner</p> <p>How to Recognize the Real Issue Beneath the Argument</p> <p>How to Make Conflict a Source of Connection</p> <p>How to Move from Blame to Responsibility</p> <p>How to Stay Grounded When Your Values Clash</p> <p>How to Build a Relationship That Grows with You</p> <p>Real love doesn&rsquo;t ask us to become someone else &mdash; it asks us to grow into our most honest, grounded self.

Feeling Unsupported, Misunderstood, or Doubted? You Are Not Alone! (THIS 7-Step Method Will Help Silence the Self Doubt And Build REAL Confidence)

<p>Has anyone ever doubted something you were excited about?</p> <p>Have you ever felt judged for trying something different?</p> <p>Today, Jay opens up about one of the most painful yet common experiences: feeling unsupported, unseen, or misunderstood by the people closest to us. He unpacks the psychology behind why others often don&rsquo;t believe in us, highlighting the &ldquo;false consensus effect&rdquo; and the tendency for others to anchor us to who we used to be. But Jay reminds us this isn&rsquo;t a flaw in our vision, it&rsquo;s a sign that we&rsquo;re ahead of the curve.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jay also dives deep into how true confidence is built&mdash;not before we begin, but because we begin. He shares why strangers may become your strongest supporters, how to use resistance as a tool for growth, and why failing in public can be a powerful connector. From the competence-confidence loop to the importance of staying grounded in purpose rather than revenge, Jay outlines seven transformational shifts that can help anyone move from self-doubt to self-trust.</p> <p>In this episode, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Keep Going When No One Believes in You</p> <p>How to Stop Seeking Approval</p> <p>How to Build Confidence Through Action</p> <p>How to Handle Unsupportive Friends and Family</p> <p>How to Prove Yourself Right Instead of Proving Others Wrong</p> <p>No matter where you are in your journey, whether you&rsquo;re just starting out, stuck in the middle, or feeling like giving up, remember this: you don&rsquo;t need everyone to believe in you. You just need to believe in yourself enough to take the next step.</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p><strong><em>Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free newsletter.

People-Pleasers — If You're Afraid to Stand Up for Yourself, Do THIS to Speak Up Without the Fear of Losing the People You Love With Africa Brooke

<p>What makes it hard for you to speak up?</p> <p>Do you ever say &ldquo;yes&rdquo; when you really want to say &ldquo;no&rdquo;?</p> <p>Today, Jay is joined by Africa Brooke, a globally recognized consultant, speaker, and writer specializing in self-censorship, integrity, and expression. Known for helping individuals and organizations navigate the complexities of honest communication in the digital age, Africa brings a deep, compassionate lens to today&rsquo;s most pressing cultural dynamics. Together, she and Jay unpack the psychology of cancel culture, which she redefines as &ldquo;collective sabotage&rdquo;&mdash;a pattern driven by fear, shame, and the pressure to appear morally perfect. Africa challenges the idea of accountability, suggesting it&rsquo;s often rooted in fear-based conformity, and highlights &ldquo;self-censorship&rdquo; as a hidden consequence of the current social climate.</p> <p>As the conversation unfolds, Africa opens up about a turning point in 2020&mdash;when she made a choice that didn&rsquo;t align with her values just to gain social approval. That experience sparked her exploration of a &ldquo;third perspective&rdquo;, a path beyond binary thinking, where wisdom replaces performance and nuance replaces judgment. Jay and Africa discuss how social media pushes us to present a polished version of ourselves, and how fear can silence not just what we say, but who we really are. They break down the difference between performing out of fear and choosing your words with intention&mdash;reminding us that we&rsquo;re not limited to staying silent or oversharing. Instead, encouraging us to speak from a place of self-awareness, integrity, and grounded confidence.</p> <p>In this interview, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Speak Honestly Without the Fear of Judgment&nbsp;</p> <p>How to Tell the Difference Between Self-Censorship and Intentionality&nbsp;</p> <p>How to Navigate Conflict Without Abandoning Your Values</p> <p>How to Stop Performing for Social Media and Start Living Authentically</p> <p>How to Set Boundaries in a Respectful Way&nbsp;</p> <p>How to Let Go of Binary Thinking and Find the Third Perspective</p> <p>Even when it&rsquo;s uncomfortable, your voice matters, because it&rsquo;s real.

Dr. Daniel Amen: Struggling to focus, Stay Organized, or Feeling Overwhelmed by Your to-do List? ADHD Could Be Quietly Running Your Life (THIS is what to DO!)

<p>Do you often forget things or lose track of time?</p> <p>Do you find it hard to stay focused on everyday tasks?</p> <p>Today, Jay reunites with the ever-popular Dr. Daniel Amen, a pioneering psychiatrist and clinical neuroscientist, to unravel one of the most misunderstood mental health topics today: ADHD. With society bombarded by endless distractions, overstimulation, and information overload, many are left questioning whether they truly have ADHD or are simply overwhelmed by the modern world. Dr. Amen cuts through the confusion by drawing from over three decades of clinical experience and brain imaging research. He clarifies that real ADHD is not a trend or a convenient label&mdash;it&rsquo;s a genetic, neurological condition that can be identified through consistent behavioral patterns and even brain scans.</p> <p>What makes this conversation especially transformative is its focus on practical solutions and healing. Rather than defaulting to medication, Dr. Amen emphasizes a whole-brain, whole-body approach&mdash;starting with sleep, nutrition, and screen time. He cites compelling evidence showing how dietary changes and digital detoxes can significantly reduce symptoms in children. Jay and Dr. Amen also explore the emotional toll of untreated ADHD, including its links to addiction, depression, academic failure, and fractured relationships. Together, they challenge the stigma, revealing that ADHD is often both overdiagnosed and underdiagnosed, particularly in women and individuals without hyperactivity.</p> <p>In this interview, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Naturally Improve Focus Without Medication</p> <p>How to Use Diet to Reduce ADHD Symptoms</p> <p>How to Identify the 7 Types of ADHD</p> <p>How to Reframe Negative Thoughts with Brain Training</p> <p>How to Create a Brain-Healthy Morning Routine</p> <p>How to Navigate ADHD in Romantic Relationships</p> <p>How to Advocate for ADHD Support in Schools and Work</p> <p>Your brain is not broken. By learning more about how your mind works, making intentional lifestyle shifts, and seeking the right tools, you can begin to show up in life with greater clarity, connection, and confidence.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p><strong><em>Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free newsletter.
