Dr. Darshan Shah earned his MD at 21 through the accelerated program at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. He trained in general surgery and trauma in California, performing over 10,000 operations. His current project is Next Health, a health optimization and longevity center built on the belief that health is not the absence of disease, but the abundance of vitality. Their mission is to empower people to achieve optimal vitality & longevity through personalized, data-driven health optimization.
We are so inspired by Dr. Shah. He not only identified a missing piece in our healthcare system, he created a complete parallel model to bridge that gap. We were able to visit a Next Health Clinic recently and were just blown away to see what true healthcare can and should be.
