Summary

Your genetics are never your destiny, even with genetic dispositions, you can prevent Alzheimer’s and optimise longevity. After my conversation with Dr. Darshan Shah of Next Health, I’m convinced we’re living through the biggest revolution in human optimisation since the discovery of antibiotics. The science is crystal clear your immune system is getting hammered by 150,000 environmental toxins that didn’t exist 50 years ago, leading to accelerated aging & chronic disease. But therapeutic plasma exchange & precision diagnostics are changing everything. We’re not just extending lifespan anymore, we’re extending healthspan.
