Are seed oils the villain they’re made out to be? How much protein do you actually need to build muscle and prevent aging? And if it’s not just one thing, what is truly making us sick? In this episode of the Dr. Hyman Show, Dr. Mark Hyman is joined by nutrition scientist and physiotherapist Simon Hill @TheProofWithSimonHill to cut through the confusion and deliver an evidence-based masterclass on today’s most heated nutrition debates. They dismantle the myths surrounding seed oils, explore the science of protein for longevity, and uncover the real culprit behind our chronic disease epidemic. Dr. Hyman and Simon Hill dive deep into: The Seed Oil Controversy: Why have seed oils become the new boogeyman? They discuss the thousand-fold increase in soybean oil consumption , the problems with historical studies like the Minnesota Coronary Experiment , and why context and the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio are critical. The Real Cause of Chronic Disease: Simon Hill argues that the primary driver of modern illness isn't one ingredient, but the rise of hyper-palatable, ultra-processed foods that lead to overconsumption and metabolic disaster. Optimizing Protein for Muscle & Longevity: Forget the outdated RDA. Discover the optimal protein intake (1.2-1.6g/kg) for maintaining muscle mass and strength as you age. Learn why resistance training is non-negotiable and how, with enough protein, plant-based diets can be just as effective as animal-based diets for muscle growth. What You Should Actually Eat: Dr. Hyman and Simon Hill provide a clear, actionable framework for eating, focusing on whole-food dietary patterns like the Mediterranean and Nordic diets , the importance of personalizing your diet through testing , and creating a food environment where the healthy choice is the easy choice. This conversation moves beyond simplistic headlines to give you the nuanced, scientific truth. It’s a crucial listen for anyone looking to make informed, evidence-based choices to live a better, longer life #MarkHyman #SeedOils #Protein #UltraProcessedFoods #Nutrition #Longevity #SimonHill #FunctionalMedicine #HealthyEating #podcast View Show Notes From This Episode https://drhyman.com/blogs/dr-hyman-home/podcast-ep1063 Get Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hyman https://drhyman.com/pages/picks? utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast Sign Up for Dr. Hyman’s Weekly Longevity Journal https://drhyman.com/pages/longevity?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast Join the 10-Day Detox to Reset Your Health https://drhyman.com/pages/10-day-detox Join the Hyman Hive for Expert Support and Real Results https://drhyman.com/pages/hyman-hive This episode is brought to you by Fatty15, Paleovalley, Function Health, AirDoctor, Timeline and Pique.
