The Doctor's Farmacy With Mark Hyman, M.d.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, and InsideTracker. If you’re interested in health, you’ve heard the term inflammation quite a bit. But did you know there are different kinds of inflammation? Some of them are more alarming than others. Acute inflammation happens when you cut your finger and it gets red and a little swollen. This is helpful inflammation and usually resolves in about a week. But the inflammation that naturally happens as we age, called sterile-inflammation, sets us up for less resiliency against things like autoimmunity, cancer, and other forms of chronic disease.  Today, I’m excited to dive deep into the topic of inflammation and its role in aging with Dr. David Furman. Dr. David Furman is Associate Professor and Director of the Bioinformatics Core at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, as well as the Director of the Stanford 1000 Immunomes Project. He obtained his doctoral degree in immunology from the School of Medicine, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina
