What if you could take control of your health the same way a CEO takes control of a business?
In this episode of Lead on Purpose, Dr Darshan Shah joins me to unpack the science of longevity, prevention, and performance. A surgeon turned health optimisation expert, Darshan reveals the biomarkers, daily habits, and mindset shifts that can help you live longer and healthier.
We cover:
• Why “feeling good” can be misleading and how silent biological damage builds up for decades
• The three key blood tests you should know today to prevent disease tomorrow
• How muscle acts as the “organ of longevity” and the best ways to build and protect it
• Simple, accessible strategies to improve gut health and reduce chronic inflammation
• The role of hormones in energy, performance, and ageing, and how to optimise them naturally
• Why routines, meditation, and small daily choices matter more than quick fixes
Darshan also shares his personal supplement stack, the value of preventative scans, and his vision for transforming healthcare into true health care.
You will walk away with practical steps to become the CEO of your own health so you can stay strong, sharp, and thriving for decades to come.
