Video Description

📌 Biomarkers guide: https://www.drshah.com/biomarkers If you want to know how to live longer, prevent ageing, and stay healthy after 40, this episode is for you. I’m sitting down with longevity medicine specialist Dr Darshan Shah to talk about the 4 pillars of longevity, sharing practical, evidence-based steps to improve your healthspan, reduce your risk of disease, and maintain your energy as you age. Longevity is exploding in popularity. On my recent trip to LA it was clear that biohacking has evolved into a genuine branch of medicine, now practised by leading medical researchers and doctors. One of the people at the forefront is Dr Darshan Shah, a board-certified surgeon who has performed over 20,000 surgical operations, including trauma and complex reconstructive procedures. As a specialist in longevity medicine, he has helped thousands of patients improve their health, extend their healthspan and increase their lifespan. Dr Shah earned his medical degree at just 21, becoming one of the youngest doctors in the United States. He trained at the Mayo Clinic, has authored numerous papers, patented medical devices, and continued his education at Harvard Business School, Singularity University and other prestigious institutions. In this episode, I sat down with Dr Shah at one of his Next Health Clinic branches in West Hollywood to explore the 4 pillars of longevity: • Lifestyle medicine – diet, sleep and exercise • Functional medicine – detoxification, emotional health, hormones and inflammation • Preventive medicine – screening for heart health, brain health and cancer • Longevity medicine – peptides, supplements, IVs and more 📌 Key chapters 00:00 – The four pillars of healthy ageing 03:51 – Deprocessing your diet 04:33 – The best workout after 40 05:38 – How to improve sleep after 40 10:06 – How often to strength train after 40 14:12 – Breaking through workout plateaus 16:16 – Functional medicine explained 17:43 – Hormone health 25:21 – How to detoxify your life 28:33 – Clean air at home 29:31 – What is reverse osmosis water 32:15 – Reducing toxins in food and skincare 37:14 – Why emotional health matters after 40 42:08 – Preventive medicine after 40 44:33 – Brain health screening 46:15 – Colonoscopy frequency after 40 47:23 – Annual home stool testing 48:55 – How to check your skin for cancer 49:28 – The Clearly scan for heart health 52:16 – Longevity medicine explained 54:51 – Peptides and advanced supplements 55:42 – Which magnesium should you take 56:41 – The benefits of creatine for over 40s ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEARNING TO EAT WELL EVERY DAY 🥗 Download a FREE 7 day meal plan: https://tdk.link/mealplan_yt 🔥 Learn about Inflammation - FREE 4 part mini-series here: https://tdk.link/infl_series_yt 🥑 Heal yourself with food: https://tdk.link/heal_yt 🎤 Listen to experts on the podcast: https://tdk.link/pod_yt 👨🏽‍💻 Browse articles on the website: https://tdk.link/web_yt 📚 Check out my cookbooks: https://tdk.link/books_yt LET'S BE FRIENDS 📷 Instagram: https://tdk.link/tdk_insta_yt 📹 Subscribe: https://tdk.link/ytsubscribe 🙋🏽‍♂️ Facebook: https://tdk.link/tdk_fb_yt 🐦 Twitter: https://tdk.link/tdk_tw_yt 👔 LinkedIn: https://tdk.link/tdk_li_yt
