About this episode

Dr. Mark Hyman discusses with Dr. Eric Verdin the underlying processes of aging and its impact on chronic diseases.

We tend to think of heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s as separate problems. But what if they all stem from the same underlying process? On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Eric Verdin, whose research, including work on compounds like urolithin A, is helping reshape how we think about aging and long-term health. We explore why aging may be the biggest driver of chronic disease and what that means for how you approach your health. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We unpack: • How your immune system becomes both overactive and less effective over time • What chronic inflammation is doing inside your body and how to start bringing it back into balance • Why cellular energy and mitochondrial health are key to repair and recovery • How your microbiome shapes inflammation, immunity, and long-term health • The daily habits that impact longevity most and where people get it wrong This conversation reflects a shift in how we think about health, moving beyond treating disease to understanding what’s driving it in the first place.
