Why 93% of Americans Are Facing Chronic Illness – Dr. Mark Hyman Explains
Dr. Mark Hyman argues that a large majority of Americans face metabolic and chronic illnesses: he claims ~93% have some form of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes risk and that six in ten Americans have a chronic disease. He contrasts modern lifestyles (low fiber intake, environmental exposures, poor sleep, chronic stress) with ancestral diets that he says were far more nutrient-dense—citing ~150 g/day of fiber in the Paleolithic era versus roughly 8–15 g/day today—and lists idealized lifestyle conditions (clean water/air, ~9 hours sleep, circadian-aligned waking/sleeping).
