Episode #183: Are Your Hormones Out Of Whack?

Hypertension isn’t a snapshot—it’s a movie, and most of us are missing the plot. Technology can outpace tradition when it’s patient-first, not doctor-first. This conversation will break new ground by flipping the hypertension narrative from a dry medical topic to a human behavior puzzle—cracking why we ignore what kills us and how tech can jolt us awake. Unlike other podcasts where Dr. Shah might recite Hilo’s specs or his CV, here he’ll wrestle with the messy realities of healthcare inertia, his own career gamble, and the psychology of change. The fresh angles—his pivot story, the unseen patient barriers, the next wearable frontier—will spark revelations Jay hasn’t unpacked elsewhere.

In this episode with return guest and Indian entrepreneur Ritesh Bawri (you can check out our first show together here), you’ll get to explore the crucial role of gut health in overall well-being, how stress and eating habits impact digestion, and what can significantly improve gut function to prevent issues like leaky gut and autoimmune reactions. We discuss why there’s no perfect diet for everyone, how genetics and gut bacteria influence digestion, and how personalized testing can help identify the best foods for your body. Ritesh also breaks down why stool tests for bacteria, yeast, and parasites provide more useful insights than microbiome testing and how big data could eventually revolutionize gut health recommendations.

My guest Brian Pla’s journey from the finance sector to the forefront of regenerative medicine and biocosmetics illustrates his adept transition and entrepreneurial spirit. Initially making his mark in finance and co-founding a foreign currency trading firm, Pla’s subsequent venture into the medical field was sparked by his personal experience with cell-based therapies. This shift led him to introduce new approaches in precision medicine and cell-based treatments, contributing to advancements in non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures. In 2017, he founded Gentera Centers for Precision Medicine and Plastic Surgery, focusing on personalized care and precision medicine, guiding Gentera to become a recognized name in regenerative medicine. The company's innovative approach sets a new standard for rejuvenation by utilizing exosomes—tiny, naturally occurring messengers in the body that promote your appearance at the cellular level. This advanced science is redefining what’s possible in non-invasive treatments, offering solutions that improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, enhance radiance, and revitalize thinning hair.
