Dr. Mark Hyman: Author, medical consultant

"Medicine is not the sacred body of knowledge I had previously thought. It is merely a collection of data points that have no relation to one another."

Our society has been trained to desire a quick fix in healing. When we have a headache, we take a pill, and the headache is gone within 15 minutes. Now we want the same type of magic pill for everything from diets and depression to asthma and arthritis. But not everything in life can be solved quickly with a pill or other medicine. Why? Because most illnesses and diseases are a result of years of lifestyle and generations of genetics that can’t be cured in 15 minutes. Dr. Mark Hyman reveals the five forces of wellness that are more powerful than any pill.
