Starting point is 00:00:00 Coming up on this episode of The Doctor's Pharmacy. Remember, when you're adding things back, you want to do it smartly. You have to add one thing at a time. So if you're adding back gluten, just do that for three days. Don't have a pizza which has gluten and dairy, right? Because you won't know what's affecting if you feel bad. If you're a healthcare provider practicing functional medicine, you know how hard it can be to keep up to date with all the specialty lab tests that are available to you.
Starting point is 00:00:23 Well, I have a solution for you. Rupert University.

Go to rupainiversity.com and sign up for a free live class or boot camp. You know, so much about well-being centers on daily habits.
Starting point is 00:00:58 If we cultivate poor habits, we can end up with poor health and risk suffering a laundry list of chronic conditions like autoimmune disease, metabolic conditions, and leaky gut. But when we cultivate good health habits, we can reverse and even eliminate many of the health problems so rampant in our world today. One of the easiest health-losing habits you can form is to use athletic greens. Their AG1 powder offers comprehensive nutrition in one simple scoop. All you have to do is mix one scoop of AG1 with 8 ounces of cold water and drink it once a day. I take AG1 every day and replenish my nutrients and optimize my health, and I consistently feel better and have more energy throughout the day.

Again, that's athleticgreens.com forward slash Hyman. And now let's get back to this week's episode of The Doctor's Pharmacy. Welcome to The Doctor's Pharmacy. I'm Dr. Mark Hyman. That's Pharmacy Network, a place for conversations that matter. And I'm going to share with you today something that really matters because it's the cornerstone of my medical practice. It's the secret of a lot of my success and it's how I get a lot of my patients
Starting point is 00:02:09 better, which is something called the 10-day detox diet. Now, I do call it the 10-day detox diet, but sometimes you need to do it longer, like two weeks, three weeks, 10 months, maybe even 10 years depending on the situation. But we're going to talk about the 10 days and how powerful that can be to transform your health. And this today is part of our Health Byte series to improve your health by taking small steps every day that can make significant change in your health over time. Now, I find that most people have never connected the dots between how they feel and what they eat. They walk around with what I call FLC syndrome. That's when you feel like crap. And that is a big problem for people. What do I mean by that? Well, you might be tired, sluggish,
Starting point is 00:03:00 you might have brain fog, maybe you have digestive issues, reflux, heartburn, irritable bowel. Maybe you have nasal congestion, sinus issues, muscle aches, joint pains, headaches, insomnia. Should I go on? Rashes, acne. I mean, it goes on and on and on. And many of these things are caused by food. And the only way to know is to do a total body reset. It's like hitting the reset button on your commuter
Starting point is 00:03:27 when all the systems are jammed. It's a complete reboot. So how do you do a reboot? It's very powerful. And most people have narrow experience system. This is what I love to do with people. And I actually run programs all around the world where people can come and actually experience this. We do programs where we have people do this just in five days, not even 10 days. People have a 70% reduction in all symptoms from all diseases. Now, I'm going to put in the show notes the medical symptom questionnaire that I use in my practice, which essentially gives you a score based on the degree and frequency and severity of symptoms. So if you have a headache, is it zero, meaning never, or is it four, I get it all the time,
Starting point is 00:04:03 they're really bad, or some version in between. And then you get a score at the end, and people have a score of 60, 70, 100. It should be less than 10, maybe even zero, ideally. I mean, you should have the symptoms. It's not normal for human beings to suffer this much. And that's really why I created this book and the program, The 10-Day Detox Diet, because I was doing this with my patients and seeing such incredible results. So I do this personally regularly.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I do it at least two or three times a year, four times a year to really reset my system, to kind of get my body back on track, to get rid of all the bad stuff, put in all the good stuff. I want to walk you through how to do this. I'm going to teach you how to hit the reset button, reboot your system, and to optimize your biology to help your gut, help your detox system, to help your immune system, help reset your nervous system and it's powerful. So if you want to really see how your body can feel and get rid of what we call FLC syndrome, I would do this. Most people are like the frog that's
Starting point is 00:05:03 in cold water where you turn the heat up slowly and it starts to boil to death. We just kind of get used to it and think it's normal. These symptoms are not normal. So what are the principles, what are the foundational pillars of the 10-Day BHATS program and what can you do? Now, basically anybody can do this. People go, I want to do this with a junior high school once. And the teachers are like, well, we might have to get permission from the parents to see if it's safe. You know, maybe they don't want their children doing this. I'm like, what, is it safe to eat fruits and vegetables and nuts and seeds and protein and cut out sugar and starch and processed food? I mean, they should get a note that it's permission to eat the junk food that they have in school.
Starting point is 00:05:48 It's the opposite. So anyway, yes, it's very safe. Anybody can do this. And some people, by the way, you know, need more of certain things or other things. But basically, this is a very universal approach to resetting your system. So what are the first principle, the first pillar? It's eat real food, real whole food. Understand that food is medicine.
Starting point is 00:06:06 It's not just energy or calories. It's truly medicine. It's information. It's instructions. It's code that literally programs your biology with every bite. It regulates your gene expression, your hormones, your brain chemistry, your immune system, your microbiome. Pretty much everything is controlled by food. And if you're eating the wrong food, you're sending all the wrong messages.
Starting point is 00:06:26 If you eat the right food, you're sending all the right messages. So this is a 10-day detox. You're basically taking out the bad stuff and putting in the good stuff. You're taking all the foods that cause inflammation, that are toxic to your system, that are inflammatory, the best for your gut, and you're putting in foods that actually help reset your system. And it's pretty much a very simple approach. It's lots of veggies, so mostly veggies, lots of good fat, lots of fiber, lots of good clean protein.
Starting point is 00:06:55 And what does that look like? It's tons of non-starchy veggies like broccoli, any kind of veggie you think of that's not basically a potato. Sometimes sweet potatoes are okay for people. Avocados, good shots of avocados, olive oil, nuts and seeds, lots of good protein, grass-fed, organic, regenerative meats, fish, chicken. Sometimes for vegetarians or vegans, we can use plant-based proteins like tempeh or non-Gmo organic soy tofu those are the most dense sources of protein but you do need protein as you detoxify so for the 10
Starting point is 00:07:32 days you're gonna be getting rid of all the other junk right processed food other carbs sugar dairy coffee gluten, pretty much actually all grains and beans. And the reason we get rid of grains and beans is not that they're necessarily all bad. It's a lot of people have issues. A lot of people have issues with their gut. A lot of people have issues with inflammation. A lot of people have issues with gluten. A lot of people have issues with insulin resistance and prediabetes and obesity,
Starting point is 00:08:01 and they can be problematic for these people. So basically get off all the bad stuff. Now, it's not calorie counting. You can eat as much as you want. We're not like crazy about how much macronutrients and percent of this and percent of that. No, it's just pick the right foods, and we focus on what to eat. You don't have to focus on how much to eat, right? So when you look at your plate, it should basically look like this.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Three-quarters of it should be non-starchy veggies. And I often will put two or three veggies in my dinner. I'll make mushrooms. I'll have a, you know, broccoli. I'll make some, maybe a salad. So I'll have lots of veggies. And I'll have a portion of protein that's essentially the size of my palm. Four to six ounces, which is really 30 to 40 grams of protein. Now, that's a good amount of protein, but you don't need that much if you're
Starting point is 00:08:47 having animal protein. It should be very gently raised, should be pasture-raised chicken, wild caught fish, should be low mercury, obviously all that. And we'll put all the show notes, lots of good fats with dinner, like avocados, nuts and seeds, olive oil in your veggies. You can even use, for example, ghee, which is a kind of a butter, but it actually has the inflammatory proteins from moo, casein, and whey. So basically it has just the fat. It's called clarified butter, very common. You can get my book, The 10 Day Detox Diet. You can get The 10 Day Detox Diet Cookbook, whatever you want. I'll put all the show notes and links together.
Starting point is 00:09:28 The second pillar, aside from what you're eating, the food is really important. And by the need to approach in the morning, you need to make sure you get rid of sugar and starch in the morning, super important. A lot of people start their day with carbs, which is the worst thing you can do. Sugar-sweetened coffees, teas, cereals, muffins, bagels, breads, bad news. Second pillar are your daily habits. Essentially, it involves a pattern of eating and living that puts your body back in rhythm. It helps you reset your nervous system.
Starting point is 00:09:52 And there's two really important habits as part of the 10-day detox. One is when you eat and also when you sleep. So let's talk about when you eat. Now, when you eat might be as important as what you eat. So many of us don't eat in the right pattern. We tend to, you know, eat all day long. We tend to snack. We tend to eat before bed.
Starting point is 00:10:15 We snack late at night. It's kind of bad. So basically when you eat is very important. Research shows that doing that can really be bad for your health if you eat at night. So the first is make sure you give yourself at least 12 to 14 hours between dinner and breakfast. So dinner at 6, breakfast at 8, that's a 14-hour fact, okay? If you eat at 6 and then you keep snacking all night, that doesn't count, right? And the most simple form of what we call time-restricted eating, and it's basically giving our body a rest and getting the body to reset.
Starting point is 00:10:48 And I wrote a lot about this in my book, The Young Forever. But basically, there's a whole process at night that happens called autophagy and cleanup and repair. You want to give your body the ability to do that. The next is food. Now, you can do a breakfast if you're eating, you know, for example, dinner at 6 and breakfast at 8 or so. That's a's a 14 hour fast really important to have protein in the morning or not carbs and sugar also not eating three hours before bed is really important so most people eat
Starting point is 00:11:17 and snack after dinner don't do that have at least three hours of time you eat and you go to sleep that way you will lose weight your body can repair and heal instead of trying to digest and store the food what about sleep sleep is one of the most underrated pillars of health it's probably even before exercise meditation maybe even for nutrition because when you don't sleep well you're gonna eat tons of sugar and carbs you're gonna crave more so you want to focus on sleep and restorative rest we know that getting in a routine of waking and sleeping can help with a deeper, more restful sleep. So try to take the same bedtime every
Starting point is 00:11:50 night. Try to get off your screens for an hour or two before bed. Keep your room, or use blue blocker glasses. Keep your room dark and cold, probably 55 to 68. Really important because your body does much better with sleep at night. Try to relax at night with meditation, do a guided imagery, do breath work, stretching, journaling, gratitude practice, whatever you like, but do something, very important. So your evening routine should be like, set a bedtime and stick to it over the 10 days,
Starting point is 00:12:17 turn your phone off and get out of your bedroom, turn the TV off for at least an hour or two before you go to bed, and then use the time at night to read, to journal, to meditate, to connect with people you love, and just kind of wind down. The third pillar is extra support we need on the journey, right? Now, we all need nutrients. They're called vitamins because they were vital amines, vital to life, right? And so we've seen a dramatic reduction in the nutrient density of our food. Our organic matter has gone out of our soil.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Nutrients can't be extracted. Foods travel long distances. We have commodity crops such as bread to actually breed out the nutrients and in the starch and, you know, yield. And so foods aren't as nutritious as they once were. And probably 90% of Americans, according to the government-owned surveys, are deficient in one or more nutrients at the minimum level to prevent deficiency. So how much vitamin D do you need to not get rickets? Not very much, like 30 units.
Starting point is 00:13:21 How much do you need for optimal health? Probably 3,000 to 5,000. So we need to really probably focus on nutrients. And even with a perfect diet, because none of us are hunter-gatherers anymore, or we don't have the kinds of food that we never ate, and I'm a nutrient depleted, we need the basic supplements. So we need a basic set of supplements, a multivitamin and mineral foundational. Magnesium, a lot of us are deficient, probably 45% or lower deficient in magnesium. It's involved in over 300 different enzymatic reactions. Super important, helps relax your nervous system at night, help you calm down. Also, people get constipated sometimes when they
Starting point is 00:13:53 change their diet. So taking magnesium citrate can help. And lastly, vitamin D. You can also take fish oil, but vitamin D is really important. Vitamin D, over 80% is lower deficient in vitamin D. It's involved in so many different things in the body. So really important and it helps your mood, helps your muscle function, helps your brain, helps your energy, helps inflammation, autoimmunity. It's just super important and most of us are low. Fish oil is also important and I often recommend
Starting point is 00:14:19 fish oil to people or omega-3 fats. So what are the program steps in the 10-day detox? What should be the steps? And then we're going to go through this. The first step is to eat from the 10-day detox approved list for 10 days. So eat what I'm telling you to eat, right? Whole foods, whole food-based shake in the morning. You can add protein powder, grass-fed protein if you want. I have a grass-fed protein called Super Simple simple protein, but you really need to make sure you have a good breakfast. Second is commit to daily habits, right?
Starting point is 00:14:51 Pick your designated eating window, right? You want a 12 to 14 hour overnight fast, which means eating within a 10 or 12 hour window. Don't snack before bed. Try to have the same bedtime, get off your technology an hour or two before, practice some active relaxation, huge impact on your health. Step three is add in the supplements.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Now, you don't have to do this, but I really encourage people to have a multivitamin, magnesium, vitamin D, and potentially fish oil. And we're going to list which products you should take in the show notes so you have it all listed there. Also, what you should eat and what you should avoid during your 10-day detox. Let's go through that. So here's the full food list. We're going to have it in the show notes.
Starting point is 00:15:32 You can take it with you to the store. It's in the book, the 10-day detox. It's in the 10-day detox cookbook. But essentially, here's what you should eat and what you should actually get rid of. What you should eat is protein. You need the right protein, right? So grass-fed or regeneratively raised meats is great. You can have pasture-raised lamb, beef, bison, venison, elk, grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken, turkey, duck, all that's fine.
Starting point is 00:16:00 What you should avoid is conventionally raised chicken and poultry and eggs and so forth. And by the way, you can also have eggs if they're pasture-raised eggs. Meat, get rid of all processed meats, deli meats, all conventionally raised feedlot meats. Get rid of all that stuff. What about fish and seafood? Lots of small fish are good. Big fish are bad, right? Big fish like swordfish, tuna, chilean sea bass, halibut. Most farm-based fish are pretty bad for you.
Starting point is 00:16:26 What you should be consuming are things like the, I call the smash fish, small wild salmon, sardines, anchovies, herring, mackerel. You can have black cod, shrimp, scallops, trout. All those are fine. Eggs, as I said, pasture-raised eggs are fine. Non-organic regular eggs are not fine. What about nuts and seeds?
Starting point is 00:16:45 Very important. Almonds, Brazil nuts, cashew nuts, hazelnuts, macadamia, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, all that's great. You can even have cacao nibs, chocolate. Not actually chocolate, but that's where chocolate comes from. Seeds are great. Chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, all great. Nut butters, also great. So unsweetened nut butters, so almond, cashew, pecan, macadamia, I love macadamia, walnut, all that's great. You can also eat beans if you're a vegan and you want to do this. You can use GMO-free or non-GMO tofu or tempeh as your protein.
Starting point is 00:17:27 What you should avoid are nuts that are with sugar, that are cooked in oils, that are basically candied stuff. A lot of nut butters have sugar, hydrogenated fats. Peanut butter, peanuts can be okay, but I would say mostly avoid peanuts because they have aflatoxin. They often are rancid, and so you want to be careful with that. What about oils and fats? Well, the ones you want to use are organic avocado oil. You can use organic coconut oil for cooking, grass-fed ghee. If you want to use tallow, lard, duckard duck fat chicken fat that's okay as long as they're
Starting point is 00:18:06 they're um pasteurized or regenerally raised for salads and you can use different kinds of oils like almond oil flax oil hemp oil macadamia oil extra virgin olive oil um and you can cook with olive oil but only like tomato sauces and things like that things that are not high heat sesame oil tahini is great as well great fat uh sesame seed kind of paste walnut oil other flavorful oils are not made well but you want to avoid the traditional oils all the seed oils like canola oil partially hydrogenated oils margarine peanut oil soybean oil sunflower oil safflower oil trans fats vegetable oil vegetable shortening all that stuff's bad what about veggies what should you Well, you want to stick with lots of non-starchy veggies or artichokes, organic if you can.
Starting point is 00:18:49 I use the Dirty Dozen guide from the Environmental Working Group, ewg.org, tell you which are the clean 15, meaning you can eat them when they're not organic, or the Dirty Dozen, which you should definitely not eat if they're not organic. But I love asparagus, artichokes, avocado, bean sprouts, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, eggplant, garlic, ginger, hearts of palm, kohlrabi, leafy greens, mushrooms of all kinds, onions, peppers, radicchio, radish, rutabagas, all that kind of stuff. Seaweed is great. Lots of minerals, shallots, summer squash, tomatoes, turnips, zucchini.
Starting point is 00:19:23 The list goes on. We have it all in there. You can have some things like sweet potatoes. I like the Japanese purple sweet potatoes, winter squash, carrots, pumpkin. All that's fine. I mean, carrots are fine because unless you're doing carrot juice, that's a problem. But basically try to limit it to like one serving, which is like half a cup a day. What you should be avoiding is corn and white potatoes, mostly.
Starting point is 00:19:46 A little, you know, some of the little ingling potatoes or the Peruvian potatoes, Peruvian potatoes can be fine. What about dairy? You can eat pasture-raised butter or ghee, but I encourage you to get all dairy, including sheep and goat, which are mostly fine for people, but I encourage you to get all other dairy. And if you're having, I encourage you to make sure it's grass-fed or regionally raised. And what about beans?
Starting point is 00:20:09 Well, you can have green beans. You can have green peas. You can have non-GMO or organic soy, such as tofu or tempeh. You can have snap beans. You can have snow peas. But otherwise, definitely no beans. What about grains? No grains at all.
Starting point is 00:20:29 So even healthy grains, quinoa, buckwheat, things like that, I encourage people to get off all of that. Why? Because it just shuts down the insulin response, helps people lose weight, reduce inflammation. Not that these are necessarily all bad, but eventually you're going to add them back. But basically get rid of all grains. Wheat, barley, rye, rice, amaranth, millet, teff, oats, everything. Get rid of it.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Fruit, fruit can be okay, but small amounts of non-hydroisemic fruits. So organic blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, kiwi, lemons, limes, raspberries, all that's fine. Not too much, right? You know what I mean? Like, you know know two pounds of blueberries but you can have a cup half a cup a day you want to get rid of all the other fruit all the high glycemic fruit like bananas pineapple melons cherries grapes is the worst even foods
Starting point is 00:21:17 that fruits that you think you know maybe good for you are actually good for you right whether it's you know peaches pears nectarines uh cherries example, but you don't want to eat them while you're on the 10-day detox. You want to really shut down the blood sugar insulin response. What about sugar sweeteners? Sorry, none. You can sometimes have a little monk fruit or stevia. We have in the shake. We have, but generally, I tend to avoid all that stuff. Also, just get rid of all the other artificial sweeteners, all the sugar, all that stuff. If you have get rid of all the other artificial sweeteners, all the sugar, all that stuff. If you have to ask, the answer is no, basically. Then what should you be drinking? Well, lots of water, herbal tea, green tea,
Starting point is 00:21:57 all this kind of caffeine, that's okay. A little green tea is fine. It can help you get off coffee. Sparkling water, mineral water, all that's fine what you should avoid alcohol coffee bottled water it's plastic soda obviously sugary beverages um basically that's the program so if you eat that way for 10 days if you use those simple habits your body is going to totally transform and you're going to see just how food is impacting your health which is the thing most people don't have a clue about. And that's why I love this so much. Now, after the program, it's really important if you do it for 10 days or 21 days or 10 weeks or 10 months, you have to be smart about getting off it or you can get into big trouble because when you go off of foods that
Starting point is 00:22:46 are inflammatory foods they're allergic to and then you reintroduce them you can get a lot worse symptoms let's say you had migraines before and they're gone wow you're going to get a doozy of a migraine or let's say you had gut issues before you're getting a real problem or let's say you had sinus congestion from eating dairy and you eat it again you might get a sinus infection so you really have to be smart so if you're feeling great you want to continue and you let's say have lot of weight to lose, let's say you have an autoimmune disease, let's say you just want to, you're feeling great, you want to continue, no problem. You continue it, continue to do it. You can do it for another 10 days. You can do it for another 10 months.
Starting point is 00:23:16 It's fine. It's totally safe to eat. And it's pretty much how I eat most of the time with occasion grains and beans. Also prioritize sleep and obviously your fasting window, not eating before bed. And then eventually people can transition slowly to the pegan diet, which incorporates a lot of the principles of the 10-day detox diet, but it gets you more flexibility in your diet.
Starting point is 00:23:37 You can add some gluten-free grains. You can have some grass-fed dairy or sheep or goat. Maybe you want to do it most of the time, but try to, you know, occasionally have a glass of wine or dessert occasionally. All that's fine. Remember, when you're adding things back, you want to do it smartly. And in the 10-Day Detox book, we'll put it in the show notes, you have to add one thing at a time. So if you're adding back gluten, just do that for three days. Don't have a pizza, which has gluten and dairy,
Starting point is 00:24:02 right? Because you won't know what's affecting if you feel bad. You want to know. So give yourself three days and then pick the next food. So start with gluten and dairy, then grains, other grains, and whatever. You'll see slowly add foods back and you'll see how you feel. And that's your best barometer. The smartest doctor in the room is your own body. And that's what you want to focus on. So congratulations.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Hopefully you're going to do this. I'm saying congratulations in advance. You're going to take the first steps towards optimal health. It's kind of hard sometimes to kind of know what to think or feel, but I always say don't listen to me. Listen to your body. It's the smartest doctor in the room. Try this.
Starting point is 00:24:41 See what happens. If it doesn't work, 10 days, who cares, right? If it works, you have the answer and the key to unlock some of your health. So we have so much health information out there. Just kind of reset here. Hit the reboot button on your body. And by the way, you can do this, you know, on and off. You can, you know, do it every quarter, twice a year.
Starting point is 00:25:00 I do it regularly. And I think, you know, the best thing is pick somebody to do it with, right? You have a buddy. As my friend, Rick Warren says, everybody needs a buddy. Accountability is key. People are more likely to do it together. We do this in groups at Cleveland Clinic. We do this in groups around the world.
Starting point is 00:25:17 I encourage you to do it with a friend or join a group to do this. So that's it for today's Health Byte. I hope you enjoyed it. Please share with your friends and family. I bet they'll benefit from this. Nobody likes to feel like crap. They want to know the way out. And if you know anybody with metabolic issues, digestive issues, autoimmune issues, mood issues, try it.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Quick anecdote before I let you go. My daughter, which was 18, was in a high school that made them eat all the food there.
