E66 Become the CEO of your own health with Dr. Shah

Everyone knows that our health is fundamental to our whole experience of life. So why does it always seem like it’s the first thing to get deprioritized when life gets busy? And when we do try to make it a priority, why does it feel like our efforts don’t lead to meaningful change?

This episode, we’re joined by Dr. Darshan Shah. He’s a surgeon, author, entrepreneur, and host of his own podcast, Extend. And he’s here to help us learn to take control of our health, form healthy habits, and increase our health span.

The three big questions we discuss with Dr. Shah are:

1. How much of our health is shaped by our own actions, mindset, and decisions?

2. Why do so many of us fail to take ownership of our health, and what beliefs or habits are keeping us stuck?

3. What practical steps can we take to assume more ownership of our health and start making better decisions?
