Dr. Darshan Shah was 50 pounds overweight with high blood pressure and an autoimmune condition before realizing that managing disease isn't the same as being healthy. True health means fixing root causes through nutrition, sleep, stress reduction, and exercise, not just taking more pills.
I was looking at myself, and I was probably the sickest I've ever been. I was 50 pounds overweight. But what was worse than that was that I had an autoimmune condition. I had uncontrolled high blood pressure. And, like, I was. I had this, like, you know, pill box full of meds I was taking every day. And really what I realized was I was just working so hard to. To control disease. And that's not what health is. Health is not controlling disease, reversing disease. And then you do that by getting down to the root causes of why you're sick, but also tripling down on the basics of nutrition, sleep, de stressing, exercise.
