Starting my medical journey at 16 and becoming one of the youngest doctors in the country, studying and training at the Mayo Clinic, Harvard Business School, Singularity University and other prestigious institutions, becoming a board certified surgeon and accumulating over two decades of practice, I have discovered that a mere 20% of health knowledge yields 80% of the results. That's why this podcast is all about cutting through the noise on how to turn back the aging clock. I interview world-renowned medical practitioners, doctors, experts, and thought leaders, offering you a step-by-step guide and actionable advice to proactively avoid disease and optimize your health. Plus, I share weekly solo episodes giving you quick, digestible protocols for successfully extending your healthspan.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-09T18:18:24.162936+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/extend-podcast-with-darshan-shah-md-7064213"},"episode":{"title":"158.

Many of the symptoms people experience daily, like pain, fatigue, brain fog, and disconnection, may reflect a deeper misalignment with how the human body was designed to function. In this episode of Extend, I sit down with Dr. Kavin Mistry, board-certified neuroradiologist and author of Primal Health Design, to unpack how modern lifestyles are reshaping our biology and accelerating aging. We break down how posture, movement, circadian rhythm, nutrition, and environment influence brain and spine health, and why reconnecting with our primal design is essential for long-term resilience and performance. We also explore how daily practices like morning sunlight, grounding, deep work, and intentional routines can help restore alignment with your biology and create more energy, clarity, and longevity in a fast-moving, AI-driven world. Dr. Kavin Mistry is a board-certified neuroradiologist, author, and thought leader in longevity and human performance, known for developing the Primal Health Design framework to help individuals reconnect with their biology and reverse the hidden effects of modern living.
