About this episode

Uncover the truth about modern medicine and why true health starts with you. Learn how to take charge of your well-being to prevent disease, optimize your lifestyle, and unlock the secrets to a longer, healthier life.


In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I speak with Dr. Darshan Shah, a board-certified surgeon, health and wellness specialist, published author, and the founder of Next Health — the world’s largest Health Optimization and Longevity clinic.


Dr. Shah’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. Beginning his career in an accelerated MD program, he earned his medical degree at just 21, becoming one of the youngest doctors in the United States. After honing his skills at the prestigious Mayo Clinic, he earned board certification and went on to establish medical and surgical centers throughout California. Despite his professional success, Dr. Shah experienced a personal health crisis that became a pivotal wake-up call. Years of grueling work in the operating room had left him battling an autoimmune disease, adrenal fatigue, and metabolic syndrome. In this candid conversation, he shares the strategies that helped him reclaim his health — and how we can all apply them to not only live our own best lives but ultimately extend our health spans.


As an advocate for becoming the "CEO of your own health," Dr. Shah shares the importance of tracking key biomarkers and making informed decisions about nutrition, movement, and self-care. He also delves into the power of cutting out ultra-processed foods, the science of habit formation, and the role that spirituality and quantum theory play in achieving holistic well-being.


Packed with actionable advice and forward-thinking insights this episode is a must listen!
