Dr. Mark Hyman is an internationally recognized physician, researcher, educator, activist, and 16-time New York Times bestselling author. His books include Food Fix: Uncensored, Young Forever, Food: What the Heck Should I Eat?, Eat Fat, Get Thin, The 10-Day Detox Diet, The Daniel Plan, The Blood Sugar Solution (also a PBS special), The Blood Sugar Solution Cookbook, The UltraMind Solution (also a PBS special), The UltraSimple Diet, UltraMetabolism, and UltraPrevention, winner of the Books for a Better Life Award. Dr. Hyman is a leading pioneer and practitioner of functional medicine — a science-based, systems-oriented approach that addresses the root causes of disease rather than simply managing symptoms. This model recognizes that health and illness arise from the dynamic interaction between genetics, environment, lifestyle, and nutrition, and seeks to restore balance at the foundational level of biology. He is the co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Function Health, founder of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, a board member of the Institute for Functional Medicine, and founder and director of The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, Massachusetts. There, he leads a multidisciplinary team dedicated to preventing and reversing chronic disease through personalized nutrition, lifestyle medicine, advanced diagnostics, targeted supplementation, and when appropriate, medication. Dr. Hyman’s philosophy is grounded in a simple but transformative idea: food is medicine. As he often says, “What’s at the end of our fork is more powerful than what’s at the bottom of our pill bottle.” Each meal represents an opportunity to create health. Specialty: Functional Medicine
