A world-renowned doctor has revealed some straightforward methods to 'take back your health', as many of us grapple with chronic illness and disease.

Dr Mark Hyman, a prominent medical expert and educator, frequently shares insights with his millions of social media followers. In his most recent post on Instagram, he said: "The system isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed. Your food is designed to be addictive. Your environment is loaded with toxins that disrupt your biology." The doctor continued by explaining that he believes chronic illness has become "the norm".

To address this, he suggests doing five straightforward things. Dr Hyman is urging people to: "Eat real food. Move your body. Sleep like it matters. Drink water. Connect with real humans", and added: "This is the medicine that works."

Start with the simple fundamentals, they are often the most powerful and are foundational to how your body heals and repairs. When you create the right conditions, your body has an incredible capacity to restore balance."
