Eat This FOOD to REVERSE Your Immune Age | Dr. Jeffrey Bland

Could a 4,000-year-old food hold the secret to a younger immune system? In this paradigm-shifting conversation, Dr. Mark Hyman sits down with the "Father of Functional Medicine," Dr. Jeffrey Bland, to reveal the new science of "immuno-rejuvenation" and how specific foods can regulate our genes to fight inflammation and aging.

Dr. Bland unpacks the four seminal contributions of functional medicine that are revolutionizing our approach to chronic disease: GI restoration, metabolic detoxification, mitochondrial resuscitation, and immuno-rejuvenation. He shares the forgotten history of how our gut health was linked to psychiatric illness over a century ago and explains how the plant compounds we eat—or don't eat—are a primary driver of chronic illness later in life.




Discover the power of flavonoids, the colorful compounds in plants that act as powerful epigenetic modulators, controlling how our genes are expressed. Dr. Bland reveals the stunning results of a recent clinical trial where participants who consumed polyphenols from Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat saw a 47% reduction in their elevated immune age in just 90 days. This is a masterclass in the future of medicine.




In this episode, you will learn about:

The four pillars of functional medicine that are key to reversing chronic disease.

How an imbalance in your gut microbiome can lead to systemic inflammation and even psychiatric issues.


The body's natural detoxification systems and the foods that can enhance them.

Mitochondrial resuscitation and how to recharge your cellular batteries for more energy.
