“Sexual health for women doesn’t start with hormonal balance in their menopausal years, but well before, when they start taking hormonally-driven birth control. The mainstay of treatment for our patients, especially the younger ones is getting them off the pill. Cause that's often the primary issue in a lot of women.” – Dr. Joshua Gonzalez

In today’s episode, Dr. Shah and Dr. Ram Dandillaya demystify the world’s number one killer – heart disease. Your heart pumps more than 2,000 gallons of blood through your veins every day, and acts as an electrical system that interfaces with your entire nervous system.

“That's how bad it was. I can't even describe the pain I was in. I was texting with my wife because I couldn’t see her. Then you think about your kids, you know. I've got a three-year-old and a four-month-old, and I was like, this is the worst way to go.” – Michael Yo

In today’s episode, Dr. Shah speaks candidly with Michael Yo who was likley infected with Covid-19 on a trip to New York – a vocational hazard as a travelling comedian. On his return, Yo developed a severely high fever. Soon after he was taken to the ER and then ICU because he couldn’t breathe. His lungs filled with liquid and his oxygen saturation levels plummeted.

For people who think this virus isn’t deadly, think again. It was touch-and-go for Yo for almost a week. Doctors diligently used every possible method to cure Yo because he was an early patient. He was essentially a guinea pig.

As Yo recently pointed out on his Twitter feed, “Flu 24,000 deaths last 8 months, Covid-19 43,000 deaths in 2 months.”

Yo’s experience of almost dying alone in a hospital is a wake-up call to anyone not taking social distancing and other health measures to avoid Covid seriously. As Dr. Shah aptly describes it in this podcast, “10,000 people dying is nothing compared to 100,000 people losing their jobs.”

What Yo and others learned from his harrowing experience could save people’s lives. Misconceptions abound, but facts stand solid. Listen in to learn why.

Highlights:

• Learn what its really like, first hand, from someone who was put in ICU with possible days to live after being diagnosed with Covid-19.
• Find out why, though some are asymptomatic, other people develop such a high fever when diagnosed with Covid.
• Understand why ventilators are not a one-size-fits all cure.
• Learn why Yo’s doctor vowed not to put him on a ventilator unless it was absolutely necessary.
• Learn why a cytokine storm, a normal inflammatory response of a healthy immune system, can actually cause more harm when you have Covid.
• Evaluate why immunity is such a big word in Covid-19 treatment now.
• Discover medical methods that worked for Yo and others that didn’t.
• Realize what protestors might be missing in their bid to reopen local economies.
• Understand the life cycle of a virus, and that it is normal for them to resurface every 100 years or so.
• Join Yo in his emotional journey through his diagnosis to his current struggle to regain full health.

“I was seeing how the medical system just wasn’t working in the ER. It was the same people coming in, and their drug list was just getting bigger and bigger. It was prescriptions to treat symptoms, and I thought—there has to be a better way.”– Dr. Lekkos

In today’s episode, Dr. Shah and Kevin Peake talk with Dr. Lekkos, a former emergency room physician who shifted his entire paradigm to study functional medicine.

Functional medicine is about optimizing your health so that you can put a fire out before it even starts, as opposed to calling in the specialists once the fire is blazing so high it’s about to consume the while building. This non-Western approach to medicine looks at your entire lifestyle to promote wellness at ground zero.

Dr. Lekkos went from cutting people open in an ER to looking for the root cause of an illness, and then tailoring an individualized plan that takes into account a person’s lifestyle choices; including stress levels, diet, toxin exposure, childhood trauma, and a detailed mental and spiritual history. Many of the factors that Western medicine usually ignores, Dr. Lekkos uses like a sleuth to solve the mystery of your individualized health.

Join us for the passionate journey Dr. Lekkos has taken to move from treating disease to optimizing wellness for his patients, and take some of his secrets with you to augment your own health. Tune in for leading edge integrative health secrets.

Highlights:

• How a seasoned ER doctor went from treating symptoms to learning root causes to dramatically improve health.
• Why shifting from reactive, disease care, to preventative “wellness” care makes all the difference.
• Why the Western medical paradigm is built on disease treatment instead of teaching ways to stop disease before it even starts, and what you can do about it.
• How the West Coast is more open minded in accepting cutting-edge, non-disease care medicine, but how this mindset is spreading.
• The incredible reward of changing people’s health after the traditional medical system has failed them repeatedly.
• How, shockingly, the mind and spirit are almost more influential when it comes to health than the purely physical body.
• Why the way you think is directly impacting your health.
• Why your lifestyle and environment will affect the expression of your genes.
• Why only 2 – 20% of your genes affect your health, and why epigenetics are so pivotal in determining your well-being.
• How to not express “bad” genes.
• How protein expression turns on and off just from your thinking, through the process of methylation.
• What multiple personality disorder can teach us about the power of the mind over the body.
• How placebo illustrates the power of mind over body.
• Why meditation and brain.fm can change your world.
• How to use a theta state to reprogram your mind for better health and wellness.
• Learn the newest tools in integrative health: peptides, stem cell growth, exosomes, exercise, and-anti-aging protocols along with mind0body tools.
• How to reclaim your power to heal yourself.

“I would have lived with a pacemaker for the rest of my life. Not an option. Really not an option. I went back to my roots and spent 2 months in an ashram and healed everything.” – Mona Sharma

In today’s episode, Mona Sharma talks with Dr. Shah, revealing ancient wisdom gleaned from residing in an ashram in her youth, coupled with the experience of a real-life health trauma while on the corporate sales grind in the high-end beauty industry. Facing the dread possibility of living with a pacemaker for the rest of her life, Sharma reconsidered everything about how she was living.

Sharma comes from a unique background. Her father is East Indian. Her mother is Danish. She spent a large portion of her youth in an ashram. The tenets of her health as a child were clean eating, utilizing food as medicine, mindfulness, community, and allowing the mind and body to rest and digest every single day. Her jet-set life almost took her life, but she turned it all around.

Sharma strayed from the simple wisdom gained in her youth. Finding herself in multiple cities a week, often waking up in hotel rooms not knowing where she was headed next, her health declined rapidly. Sharma gained 40 pounds after being put on beta blockers for a heart condition. Observing that doctors asked her nothing about her stress levels or what she was eating as her health continued to decline, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

After undergoing not one, but multiple heart surgeries, Sharma re-examined her lifestyle to look for the root cause of a malady first discovered in her late teens – atrial tachycardia – but which later burgeoned into a live-or-die call-to-action, and her new life path.

Sharma’s credentials as a certified nutritionist and yoga teacher after being a marketing trainer for brands like Christian Dior and Tom Ford are invaluable because so many people can relate to the burnout and negative health-impacts that can accompany a corporate job that looks glamorous on paper.

Sharma was also recently on Red Table Talk. Will Smith is one of her clients. He subscribes to her simple eating and mindfulness insights, and now so can we.

Join Mona Sharma and Dr. Shah as they discuss her fascinating journey from an ashram to cities like Paris and London, and then back to the ashram to find healing secrets that she shares with us with passion.

Highlights:

• Troubleshoot health issues quickly and to target health optimization for your unique constitution, not with hit-or-miss nutrition from decades past
• Overcome negative food psychology and instead create good food habits
• Effectively modify your diet with your biology as you age
• How to recognize the thoughts you have which sabotage your progress
• Going back to basics and fundamentals, instead of trying to achieve an extreme
• How Sharma juggles eating right as a busy mother, entrepreneur, and health influencer
• How to tie mindfulness into eating right
• The importance of gratitude for your body and mind
• How to motivate yourself beyond the superficial – when a six pack isn’t enough
• Why movement is critical to your motivation and joy
• Why great health is a “practice” not a magic bullet
• How neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) can help you achieve health goals
• How to free yourself from traumatic emotional experiences that may be sabotaging you
• The latest science behind today’s nutritional advancements
• Why you need to avoid “dead” food
• Optimizing your health with the “un-diet”
• Discover a great “prebiotic” food that Sharma puts on everyone’s eating list
• Tying in ashram living with Ayurveda, yoga, mindfulness, and nutrition
• The importance of community in achieving peak health

“I look at everything from a slightly different perspective than everybody else. I love to do that. And one of my big rules is if everybody's going on one way, you should run the other way as fast as you can.” – David Nurse

In today’s episode, Dr. Shah and Kevin bring light to performance hacks and maximum life optimization tips inspired by a conversation with David Nurse, a powerhouse life-coach, bio-hacking, performance-enhancing specialist who has worked with over 100 NBA players - dynamos like LeBron James, who spends over $1.5 million a year to be the most frightening defender on an NBA court.

Nurse has been called the “crunch time king,” and a “basketball gypsy.” He started out as a shooting coach for the Brooklyn Nets in 2016 and blossomed into an NBA-whisperer. He turns already-great players with 3% body fat and impeccable stats into formidable forces that plow through games with ease and grace. He’s developed some of the top players in the NBA by teaching accessible lifestyle tips that people who aren’t 7-foot-11 can still employ.

Nurse explains how his athletes make extreme lifestyle changes but apply them just one percent at a time to achieve astounding outcomes. These habits can enhance anyone’s life, not just people like LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, or James Hardin. You too can function at a “Next Level” of health, mindset, and performance, no matter what your “net” goal is in life.

If you want to know how to hack your health and mindset like an elite athlete without spending a small fortune, you won’t want to miss this deeply informative talk.

Highlights:

• Use visualization to increase performance by up to 50% (scientifically documented)
• How to train harder to condition muscle memory for peak enhancement
• How Heart Rate Variability (HRV) affects everything from your mitochondrial function to your personal relationships with other people, energy levels, and more
• How to make “mindset pivots” to reframe failure
• How you can build relentless consistency and positive habit-formation
• How all mindset is a choice, no matter how much outside pressure you face
• Replacing a “stress” mindset with a “challenge” mindset
• The importance of a morning routine, nightly routine, and daily rituals
• Gratitude
• Applying new lifestyle changes 1% at a time

“A friend once told me, only 3% of people have an eating disorder, but 97% of people have disordered eating.” – Nikki Sharp

In today’s episode, Dr. Shah and Kevin Peake crack open some real talk with Nikki Sharp, a tour-de-force and former model who reveals some hard truths about our relationships to food based on her own journey through two severe, clinically-described eating disorders. Nikki’s not just any health and wellness blogger, her authenticity comes through in every word, as well as a vulnerability and heart that are rare in many people who are today talking about health today.

Nikki’s books, including The Five-Day Real Food Detox are not a get-healthy quick recipe, but a way to start fresh and to install new eating habits that nourish you from the inside out. She’s not afraid to talk about her own issues with food, and how she’s overcome them: starting with how she loves herself, so that choosing good food is just one of many choices she makes to support a healthy mind and body.

It may come as a surprise that an international model would ever binge eat and suffer from anorexia, but Nikki’s journey through these challenges helps us to reveal our own disordered relationships with food so that we can address eating disorders, body dysmorphia in the age of “perfection” on Instagram, and all other manner of image distortion and its myriad manifestations.

Listening to this podcast, you won’t just want to follow Nikki because she’s beautiful on the outside, but because she tears down the walls concealing an important topic that has remained taboo for far too long.

Highlights:

• How LA supports the “pretty” people, but what this often means as far as diet, and health.
• Why starving yourself is indicative of a deeper hunger.
• Why Nikki’s mission is to rename “healthy food.”
• How eating patterns develop and how to change them.
• How we’ve come to eat fake, processed, human-generated substance that we call “food,” but which is so toxic to the body.
• The lies the diet industry tells.
• How to make healthy eating non-disruptive to your current lifestyle.
• How food and emotions are often tied.
• Why toxin removal is just as important as what you consume.
• How stress and anxiety affect digestion and assimilation of your food.
• How to understand the seasons of the body.
• Learn to approach eating from a place of balance instead of restriction.
• How judgment leads tor trouble.
• Learn about Nikki’s new book, and it’s interesting evolution.

“Speaking of Blue Zones, the hundred-and-nine year-old, or however old she is, like John Claremont, I think she recently passed away, but there are others, like John Coleman. They are gin chugging, cigarette smoking people. You know, folks who are living well past the age they should be living since they don't have cryotherapy chambers, NAD IVs, and infrared saunas. But they've got strong love and relationships and a robust social life and a belief in a higher power. . . Our whole family is gratitude-journaling together in the morning. I'm taking my kids through a meditation and prayer. At night we revisit gratitude. It's just this magical, magical way to live. I think more important than any chapter on fat loss or muscle gain or biohacking the brain or anything like that.” – Ben Greenfield

“I mean, the last thing I want to do is surgery for sleep apnea when that's not the main thing that might be causing it. It might be a red herring, and that's part of why being board certified in sleep medicine is helpful to have enough knowledge not to be dangerous. Just enough knowledge to identify these things. Certainly that we can work on them before thinking about procedures or if we're going to go down that path.” – Dr. Eric Kezirian

In today’s episode, Dr. Shah and Dr. Eric Kezirian share a life-changing talk about one of the most underrated subjects surrounding health – sleep.

We spend ample time and energy looking into diet and exercise, but this third pillar – sleep – is critical to our overall health. A recent Forbes article suggested that 40% of Americans are sleeping less than 6 hours a night, and even children are now more sleep-deprived than ever. There has even been a movement suggesting that people can thrive on less than 5 hours of sleep nightly, but is this really true?

Dr. Kezirian, a certified Otolaryngologist (nose and throat doctor), debunks some myths about sleep, reveals the real causes of sleep apnea, and how to optimize your sleep for greater health and peak performance.

Drs. Kezirian and Shah uncover how – without adequate sleep, your entire body stops working as it should. Hormones that control detoxification of the brain and bodily tissues, regulate energy levels, your metabolism, and even hunger signals are all thrown out of whack. Sleep affects our mood, job performance, and athletic ability.

If you’re looking for a possible culprit that may be contributing to you being overweight, listless, lacking energy, feeling apathetic or unmotivated, or you simply lack a zest for life, it is possible that you aren’t getting the quality sleep your body and mind so desperately need.

Tune into this podcast to learn how to fix your most pressing sleep challenges, and dream easy tonight.

Highlights:

• What are the symptoms of poor sleep?
• Why you should test for obstructive sleep apnea and what it is.
• How you can possibly avoid surgery and fix sleep issues with lifestyle choices and sleep hygiene.
• How soft tissue surgery to correct sleep apnea has evolved.
• Do you suffer from mild sleep apnea? Many people do and are not aware.
• Are sleep disorders more common in men or women?
• Why how you breathe at night is just as important as how you breathe when you’re conscious during the day.
• How medications may be contributing to your sleep issues.
• Which medications are most helpful in addressing sleep issues.
• Are home sleep tests better or are sleep lab tests more revealing of your true sleep patterns?
• How to return to sleep basics and practice good sleep hygiene to restore your health and performance.
• How to reverse insomnia with a multidimensional approach.
• How alcohol consumption affects your sleep.
• How to avoid sleep devices that are being marketed without any proof that they work.
• Why balanced dopamine levels can act as a sleep enhancer.
• How stress affects sleep.
• Is CBD an effective sleep remedy? What dosage is good to take?
