0:00.0	On this episode of The Resetter podcast, I bring you Dr. Darshan Shaw.
0:09.2	Now, this is a really interesting conversation and a very personal one.
0:14.2	So a little background on Dr. Shaw.
0:17.4	He is the founder of Next Health, which is important because many of you have asked me, like,
0:22.7	where do I go to get my IVs? Where can I go to get some functional health help? And Next Health
0:29.3	is, if you're here in America, and actually throughout the world, you may go check. But Next Health
0:34.5	has franchised, they're getting close to 80 franchises where you can get some

1:47.7	we did pre and post blood work on me. And what we discovered in the pre and post blood work
1:55.0	of this detox IV was that I had a blood marker called L.P.A. L.P. Little A is a blood marker for cardiovascular
2:07.0	disease. And if you have this blood marker, what it can do is cause placking on your carotid
2:16.5	and coronary arteries despite your lifestyle. And I had it very high
2:23.6	levels of it. And that was concerning to me because my grandfather died of a stroke in his 60s.
2:32.5	So what I wanted Dr. Shaw to do was to bring to you all two things.
