Dr. Darshan Shah: Can’t Focus, Sleep, or Lose Weight — it Could be From the Toxins in Your Every Day Products! (Do These SIMPLE Daily Swaps to Undo the Damage NOW!)
Do you drink water from plastic bottles every day? Have you ever thought about how many chemicals you’re exposed to daily? Today, Jay welcomes back renowned longevity expert, board-certified surgeon, and founder of Next Health, Dr. Darshan Shah. Known for making complex health topics accessible, Dr. Shah returns with an urgent message about the hidden threats silently affecting our health every single day: environmental toxins. With over 25 years of experience in medicine and wellness innovation, Dr. Shah breaks down how over 150,000 manmade chemicals—many of which didn’t exist just decades ago—have entered modern life through the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and even the products we apply to our skin. These toxins, including microplastics, heavy metals, and hormone-disrupting compounds, are contributing to chronic disease, inflammation, and accelerated aging. But rather than incite fear, this conversation delivers hope. Dr. Shah shares a practical roadmap for detoxing daily life—simple, affordable steps that can be taken immediately. He emphasizes the power of the body’s natural detox systems, particularly the liver, and how small changes made consistently can lead to transformative results over time. Together, Jay and Dr. Shah explore the deep connections between physical and mental health, the importance of tracking key biomarkers, and the role of lifestyle over genetics in preventing conditions like Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and cancer.
