- Cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables—broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale, and cabbage—are rich in phytonutrients crucial for reducing inflammation and the risk of cancer.
- Olive oil. The cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet is cooking with olive oil, and Hyman says he prioritizes extra-virgin olive oil each day. The healthy fat contains antioxidants touted for reducing the risk of chronic health conditions and heart disease.
- Nuts. Nuts, including cashews, almonds, and walnuts, have been associated with a reduced risk for diabetes, as well as improving health and life span, Hyman says.
- Berries. Berries contain a large number of antioxidants and phytochemicals, which can “activate longevity pathways,” Hyman says. They can also keep the gut healthy, fight inflammation, and, therefore, reduce the risk for heart disease and other life-threatening chronic conditions.

I plan to live a very long life, and I plan to feel amazing the entire time. I’m not going to reach my goal of being 120 years old by eating fast food and candy and sitting on the couch all day. And even if that lifestyle did get me to old age, I wouldn’t be feeling very good. Living a healthy life means increasing healthspan—the amount of our live...
I’d say some of my biggest challenges can be time and travel. I have multiple jobs and I’m often flying all over the world (pre-COVID, of course). That can make it easy to get into a food emergency, where I grab something less than ideal because I’m starving or tired. I’ve gotten much better at preparing by always traveling with healthy snacks and ...
I’ve definitely been traveling much less and just spending time at home with my wife and cats. While it’s been hard to take a step back from some of my professional roles that I’m so passionate about, like not seeing patients face-to-face, I’m trying to take what I can from this time by meditating, hiking, playing tennis, and cooking lots of great ...
My wife and I take breaks to go on walks together every day—that’s become my new favorite part of being home together.
Definitely meditation. It’s something I’ve learned I don’t have time not to do. It keeps me grounded, improves my focus and productivity, and brings me back to focus on what really matters. When I’m extremely busy and overwhelmed it might feel like I shouldn’t take the time to get quiet and look inside, but that’s when I know I need it most.
Breakfast
I like to keep it pretty simple, so I’ll usually do some poached eggs with avocado, tomato, and olive oil. Or I’ll make a fat-heavy shake with lots of nuts, seeds, collagen, coconut butter, spinach, wild blueberries or blackberries, and some macadamia nut milk. This Very Berry Green Smoothieis a great example of my normal shake.
Lunch
I love making a “Fat Salad” with arugula, pumpkin seeds, olives, wild-caught sardines or salmon, and any veggies I have around like cherry tomatoes, radishes, and onions. I can easily switch this up with whatever I have on hand and it’s really easy to make.
Dinner
I always make vegetables the main dish like stir-fried broccolini, mushrooms, and sweet potatoes, made with healthy fats like avocado oil. Then I have a serving of protein like grass-fed steak, pasture-raised chicken, or wild-caught fish. If I want to make something more complex and exciting I love this Golden Tahini Mushroom Buddha Bowl.
I have done a lot of trial-and-error to see what works best for my body—and I always tell my patients to do the same. A few days a week I might intermittently fast, which means I’ll have dinner around 6 or 7 and then wait until late morning or early afternoon the next day to have breakfast. This has so many amazing health benefits like cellular det...
Vegan Smashed Persian Cucumbers
Simple food can be some of the most delicious. This fun smashing technique takes cucumbers to a whole new level, creating a tender texture that soaks up the amazing flavors of sesame, garlic, and chili.

On a flat surface, lay the blade of a large knife flat on top of each cucumber and smash down gently, then tear into smaller pieces at the natural breaking points. Place the cucumber pieces in a strainer and toss with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of coconut sugar (if using). Place a bowl on top of the cucumbers with something that can serve as a weight inside it. Let drain for at least 30 minutes, then use paper towels to pat the cucumbers...
