About the author
Mark Hyman
348 books1,056 followersMark Hyman, MD, believes that we all deserve a life of vitality--and that we have the potential to create it for ourselves. That's why he is dedicated to tackling the root causes of chronic disease by harnessing the power of Functional Medicine to transform healthcare. Dr. Hyman and his team work every day to empower people, organizations, and communities to heal their bodies and minds, and improve our social and economic resilience.
Dr. Hyman is a practicing family physician, an eleven-time New York Times bestselling author, and an internationally recognized leader, speaker, educator, and advocate in his field. He is the Director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine. He is also the founder and medical director of The UltraWellness Center, chairman of the board of the Institute for Functional Medicine, a medical editor of The Huffington Post, and was a regular medical contributor on many television shows including CBS This Morning, Today Show, CNN, and The View, Katie, and The Dr. Oz Show.
Dr. Hyman works with individuals and organizations, as well as policymakers and influencers. He has testified before both the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine and the Senate Working Group on Health Care Reform on Functional Medicine. He has consulted with the Surgeon General on diabetes prevention and participated in the 2009 White House Forum on Prevention and Wellness. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa nominated Dr. Hyman for the President's Advisory Group on Prevention, Health Promotion, and Integrative and Public Health. In addition, Dr. Hyman has worked with President Clinton, presenting at the Clinton Foundation's Health Matters, Achieving Wellness in Every Generation conference, and the Clinton Global Initiative, as well as with the World Economic Forum on global health issues. He is the winner of the Linus Pauling Award, The Nantucket Project Award, and was inducted in the Books for Better Life Hall of Fame.
Dr. Hyman also works with fellow leaders in his field to help people and communities thrive--with Rick Warren, Dr. Mehmet Oz, and Dr. Daniel Amen, he created The Daniel Plan, a faith-based initiative that helped The Saddleback Church collectively lose 250,000 pounds. He is as an advisor and guest co-host on The Dr. Oz Show and is on the board of Dr. Oz's HealthCorps, which tackles the obesity epidemic by educating American students about nutrition. With Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Michael Roizen, Dr. Hyman crafted and helped introduce the Take Back Your Health Act of 2009 to the United States Senate to provide for reimbursement of lifestyle treatment of chronic disease. And, with Tim Ryan in 2015, helped introduce the ENRICH Act into Congress to fund nutrition in medical education. Dr. Hyman plays a substantial role in a major film produced by Laurie David and Katie Couric, released in 2014, called Fed Up, which addresses childhood obesity.

I've enjoyed all the recipes I've tried and want to keep trying more! 4 stars because it doesn't give nutritional info. I'd like to know how much protein as I am trying to increase that.

I’d rather die old than be young forever - if my diet only consisted of this cookbook. The recipes are healthy - lots of grains, veggies, eggs, proteins but few carbs and no dairy products except eggs. Not a photo of every recipe.

I was unsure when I borrowed this from my local library (Can I have an AMEN for LIBRARIES!!!!). I seemed to recall that Dr Mark Hyman has some controversial food beliefs. Yes, he does and they are seen in this book.
He states: "refined seed and bean oils are inflammatory and can cause negative impacts on our health. I've done the research for you." but the research is not cited, seems paternalistic.
(https://www.heart.org/en/news/2024/08...).
No milk (yoghurt from sheep's milk or goat cheese is fine).
These recipes are kind of over the top for the average person.
Case #1 First recipe in the book: Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat and Berry Pancake.
Now I'm fairly well travelled and food savvy, but I had to google Tartary. As a Canadian, buckwheat pancakes have been a part of my life since childhood but watch out folks: https://drhyman.com/blogs/content/a-b.... Ah, yes. Now I get it. This is about "superfoods" and evil foods and that's when I start to check out. Grapefruits, then low fat, juice fasting, paleo and all the other diets can kiss goodbye.
A cookbook about healthy eating, would usually have nutritional information listed, but not this one.
These recipes nearly all have one exotic ingredient like preserved lemons, Harissa, Kombu,tarka, black rice, tahini and so on that I am unlikely to have on hand.
I borrowed another cookbook at the same time Start Here by Sohla El-Waylly. It weighs 2.5kg (5lb 5 oz) and at around 550 pages it's a brute but it's fun and engaging and I already made my own Thousand Island dressing which is delightful. If you buy into Hyman's scary world view, then maybe Young Forever will be good for you. In the meantime, I'm back to Sohla and her techniques to bring exotic and everyday foods new life in my kitchen. Today it's "How to make a velvety vegetable soup out of anything."

No liver recipes. Too many recipes with soy. Nearly every recipe contains legumes, nuts, or seeds which I don’t eat.
Only recipe I might try is the mushroom tapenade.
