The Most Important Daily Habits That Could Add Decades to Your Life & Keep Your Brain Young with Dr Darshan Shah #573


Listen Later

Did you know that your daily habits directly affect the speed at which your brain is ageing and your risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease in the future?

 

This week, I'm delighted to welcome Dr Darshan Shah to the podcast. Darshan is a medical doctor, a board-certified surgeon, an expert in preventive health and the founder of Next Health, the first health optimisation and longevity centre to offer life-extending and enhancing technology and treatments.

 

Whilst working as a surgeon, Darshan became seriously ill with type diabetes, hypertension, an autoimmune condition, and he was told he had a 50% chance of dying in the next 25 years. This wake-up call came just as his first son was born. Rather than accepting a life dependent on medications, he immersed himself in functional medicine and completely reversed his conditions in just eight months. 

 

During our conversation, you'll discover: 

  • The 5 things you could start doing today that would actually increase your chances of getting Alzheimer’s
  • The 80/20 principle for health and how focusing on just 20% of interventions can deliver 80% of the results
  • Why sitting for more than four hours increases your risk of death by 15%
  • Why becoming the "boss of your own biology" through tracking key biomarkers could be life-saving
  • How inflammation from your gut and mouth can directly impact your brain health decades later
  • Darshan’s top supplement recommendations for longevity
  • This conversation challenges the notion that we can simply live intuitively in today's environment and expect to stay healthy. Darshan argues that in our current toxic world, taking an active role in monitoring and optimising our health isn't just beneficial, it's essential. 


    Whether you're interested in detailed health tracking or just want to learn the basics of staying well, this conversation is packed with practical advice that could transform how you think about your health. I hope you enjoy listening.
