Dr. Gundry and Dr. Shah explain that by looking "under the hood" of your health—specifically your blood test results—you can spot diseases 10, 20, or even 30 years before they become a major problem. Dr. Shah emphasizes that out of thousands of available blood tests, only about 10 to 15 are truly critical biomarkers that everyone needs to know how to optimize. Mastering these markers allows you to change routines, day-to-day habits, and avoid disease completely. The ultimate goal is to become the CEO of your own health and feel great as a side effect.
In the full episode, Dr. Gundry and Dr. Darshan Shah delve into Next Health’s hyper-preventative model, contrasting it with traditional medicine that only reacts to disease. They detail the importance of becoming the CEO of your own health by tracking these critical biomarkers, such as fasting serum insulin and homocysteine, to spot and reverse disease decades before it manifests. The conversation centers on building health from the ground up, emphasizing lifestyle and functional medicine (nutrition, sleep, gut health, stress, and toxins) as the necessary foundation before incorporating advanced longevity therapies like peptides or plasma exchange, which Dr. Gundry refers to as "the cherry on top."
