Mark Hyman

Dr. Mark Hyman is a doctor who has gained attention for his views on health and wellness, including claims about reversing aging and treating conditions like autism and Alzheimer's with nutritional supplements. He is newsworthy due to his recent hiring by CBS News as part of Bari Weiss's strategy to broaden the network's political appeal and grow its audience. This hiring has generated controversy, with some critics labeling him a "germ theory denialist" and raising concerns about the promotion of unproven or disproven medical treatments. His inclusion in CBS News's new strategy is significant because it reflects a broader effort to incorporate more conservative-leaning voices and podcasters into the network, a move that has been met with both support and criticism amidst internal skepticism and viewership challenges.
