Mark Hyman

Dr. Mark Hyman is a doctor recently hired by CBS News as part of Bari Weiss's strategy to broaden the network's political appeal and grow its audience. He is newsworthy due to controversy surrounding his views on health and medicine. He has claimed to have reduced his biological age through therapies like cold plunges and has suggested that cod liver oil can treat autism. He has also stated that conditions like Alzheimer's and dementia can be reversed with nutritional supplements, which he sells on his online store. These claims have led to him being labeled a "germ theory denialist." His hiring coincides with Bari Weiss's efforts to implement changes at CBS News, which have generated internal skepticism and uncertainty among staff.
