The Healthcare Revolution | Darshan Shah
In this episode, I dive deep with Dr. Darshan Shah - a surgeon who became a doctor at just 21 years old and recently transitioned to longevity medicine after 30 years in surgery. We talk about the incredible speed of innovation happening in healthcare and how AI is already performing surgeries that used to require human doctors. Dr. Shah shares his passion for transforming medicine from the reactive "whack-a-mole" approach of treating diseases to a proactive system focused on cellular health and prevention. He breaks down the four critical components for extending your healthspan - building muscle mass through consistent strength training, improving your V02 max, preventing heart attacks through proactive screening, and maintaining good metabolic health to avoid diseases like Alzheimer's and diabetes. This episode reveals how medical knowledge has advanced more in the last five years than in the previous 150 years combined, and how personalized AI healthcare tools will soon revolutionize how we approach wellness.
