Coffee + Baba Ganoush: What A Functional Medicine Doctor Eats Daily

Living well means eating well, and no one knows this better than our March guest editor, Dr. Mark Hyman. As a leading functional medicine doctor, it's essential for Dr. Hyman to nourish his body by the same principles he preaches to clients. And it's not just to live up to his title (or many titles for that matter), but to keep up with his own crazy-busy life. Wondering how an NYC doctor with so much on his plate fills his actual plate? We're tracking Doctor Mark as he takes us through his typical day... 

People always want to know what I'm eating. I talk a lot about cutting sugar and processed carbs and eating real, whole, fresh foods, but everyone wants to know if I walk the walk! The truth is that I have to. I have about ten jobs, two kids, a dog, a team, weeks of travel at a time... the list goes on and on. In order to keep up with this lifestyle, maintaining optimal health becomes a top priority. Here’s a typical day of eating for me...

When I can, I’ll also make some time for movement in the morning. I love to go on long bike rides with my son or start up a game of basketball before a long day, and after I work out, I usually enjoy my whole-food protein shake.

Lunch has to be really easy for me to prepare. In the afternoon, I am usually seeing patients or in meetings, so I love to prepare big, easy-to-eat salads.

If I’m at home in Massachusetts with my family, dinner is a very special occasion. I love getting everyone together in the kitchen to make a meal together. Community and cooking with others is one of the most important parts of a journey toward vibrant well being. We love to make a lot of different types of vegetables paired with protein.
