Office Hours: Cholesterol and Heart Disease — What I’ve Changed My Mind About

Welcome to Office Hours. This is our dedicated one-on-one space to go deeper, get clearer, and explore what truly moves the needle for your health. I'm Dr. Mark Hyman and each week we're going to pull back the curtain and share the insights, the research, the lessons that don't always make it into our conversations with guests.

Because at the end of the day, you are the CEO of your own health. And for many of you, your family's health too. And you might not feel it all the time, but you have far more power and agency than you realize. I'm glad you're here. Hey everybody, you know from time to time science changes and I change.

I look at the data, I see what's changed, and I change my thinking, I change my practice, and I just don't want to keep you up to date because science is an evolving process. We're constantly doing research, we're constantly learning. And old ideas may not always be the right ideas. And even though they can be pretty strong, like for example, that low-fat diets are good for heart disease, well, that ain't true. And we know what happened with that with snack bill cookies and we went low fat and we all got fat and we all got diabetes and we all got more heart disease.
