Monday, May 11, 2020 • Duration 53:02
“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

Dr. Ram Dandillaya: How Lifestyle Changes and Early Detection Can Reverse Your Chances of Developing Heart Disease
Episode 22
Monday, January 20, 2020 • Duration 44:36
“Inflammation doesn’t just lead to heart disease, but also to brain disease, liver disease, and all the cancers and all their different causes.” – Dr. Ram Dandillaya
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. Yet, few of us understand how the cardiovascular system works, let alone how to prevent the diseases that affect it. Fortunately, these two dynamos shed enormous light on this imperative topic.
Dr. Ram has been in practice since 2006, but grew up in the same small town in New Jersey that Dr. Shah did. They discovered their mutual hometown at a recent dinner party, proving just how small the world is, but the scope of heart health knowledge they share in this podcast is vast.
After saving several people’s lives together in recent mutual endeavors, Drs. Shah and Ram share ways to reverse this growing epidemic.
High blood pressure affects 1 in 3 people in the US. More than 85 million people in the US live with some type of cardiovascular disease. It is one of the most widespread and costly diseases in the Western World, with over $320 billion spent annually to treat cardiovascular issues, but are statins the only way to combat this growing epidemic?
Join Dr. Shah and Dr. Ram to learn how the hardest working muscle in your body can stay healthy, and you don’t end up like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz.
Highlights:
Learn about “the silent killer” that affects even those who look like they’re in great health.
How to Put Your Sleep Debt to Rest with Dr. Eric Kezirian
Episode 21
Monday, January 6, 2020 • Duration 53:06
“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.

Mona Sharma: How Mona Sharma Used Ashram Living and Simple Wisdom to Return from the Brink of Death
Episode 20
Monday, December 23, 2019 • Duration 46:34
“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.
David Nurse: Hack A High Performance Mindset Without Spending $1.5 Million Like NBA Great, Lebron James
Episode 19

“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.
