<p>Do you drink water from plastic bottles every day?</p> <p>Have you ever thought about how many chemicals you’re exposed to daily?</p> <p>Today, Jay 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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> <p>In this interview, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Spot Early Signs of Toxin Buildup in Your Body</p> <p>How to Track the 10 Key Biomarkers That Predict Long-Term Health</p> <p>How to Strengthen Your Brain and Prevent Alzheimer’s with Simple Daily Habits</p> <p>How to Avoid Microplastics in Your Kitchen and Clothing</p> <p>How to Reduce Toxin Exposure in Your Air at Home</p> <p>How to Filter Your Drinking Water Safely and Affordably</p> <p>This episode serves as both a wake-up call and a guide, empowering audiences to live with greater awareness, vitality, and intention.
