Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

[libialobosardesai]

I am happy to tell you that I have already reached the lifespan of 99 years and am waiting to reach the milestone of 100 in another 6 months. I do not have any problem except BP since last year which appears to be fully undercontrol now as it is in the normal range of 130-140. Yet more advice is always welcome

[ThailandWithMonchai]

Twenty minutes in, and I'm realizing that this guy has some of the most valuable information for my life. Thank you, Jay, for inviting Doctor Shah onto your show! 👍 🎉😊

[julianvallejo]

Being proactive rather than reactive should be the norm, I’m so grateful for this podcast bringing light to these multiple massive underlying issues!

[sharonbeepath]

I am sharing this video with all.my contacts Jay. My Dad was a Naturopath he lived to 93. My Mom is 89.. Thank you for this Dr Shah

[ankitabhargava]

The best part about this podcast is that it’s based on research and Dr Shah lists everything he’s learned about gut, glucose and more from all the best people. This is a beautiful summary.

For Jay - please try getting Dr Pal, the gutman to this podcast as well. I think it’ll be amazing

[JessicaNortonND]

Happy to see this type of medicine come to the masses! As a naturopathic doctor these are EXACTLY the conversations I get to have with patients before disease occurs!

[SuperWheelhouse]

Dr. Shah explains information so clearly without the blah, blah, blah. Thank you❤

[sussannekeith]

Weight training, sleep, eliminate dairy and sugar, no drinking, smoking and move your butt and don’t sweat the small stuff. Done…. ❤😊

[ukvnzjo]

Ive been following this page for years now and I watch an episode almost daily and this was my favorite interview yet. So informative and helpful. So many of my questions have been answered. Thank you for this and God bless you both!❤️

[valentinavega]

This is so beautiful and painful to hear at the same time. Access to food is such a privilege and so many of us don’t have the resources to be able to afford the amount of food described on this episode. And I’m speaking as a middle class person, who can afford to live in a home with heating and electricity monthly but runs out of money for food often and relies on a food bank to help fill the gaps. At the same time, I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who would gladly switch places with me.

[PalbinderSingh-nyso]

Hey Jay! I have been watching your videos from last year and they are very helpful in all aspects of life. However, I am suffering from anger issues and if you could call a guest who would talk about anger management, I will much appreciate that. Much love to you and your team. You guys are doing the best work. ❤❤❤❤❤

[alexiebg]

Everything he says is so intuitive yet so many of us miss it out. Thanks for this enlightening interview and bringing back these topics ✨

[esmeraldabenitez]

The hope!! In these comments and the relief I got…. from doing my own research and finding out through my own mental & overall health challenges … this dr is speaking nothing but FACTS!! So good just fired me up even more to be one of the most savvy wellness coaches in America

[rubyredd]

Bravo Bravo Finally we get a chance to educate ourselves in a failing health care Jay thank you so so much. And to the doctor there is not enough words in English to describe how grateful i am and how Brave you are to make a Stand. May the Creator of the Universe cover you, keep you and Bless you guys and your families ❤❤❤

[houring]

[monicacenteno]
