Q&A 390: Is Nicotine Healthy, How Long Does Stem Cell Therapy Last, A New Way To Fast & Much More!

In today’s show, the script is flipped—I’m the one in the hot seat, answering questions instead of asking them. And the setting couldn’t be more powerful: India—a country where ancient wellness practices are part of everyday life, yet there's an undeniable hunger for innovation and cutting-edge health strategies. This conversation, led by Sharad Baid, the Managing Director of Utkal Builders, a leading real estate company based in Bhubaneswar, India, explores the fascinating intersection between traditional healing and modern biohacking. You’ll discover what it really means to take control of your healthspan—not just adding years to your life but adding life to your years. We talk about everything from tweaking your diet for better brain function or muscle gain, to using red light therapy on the road, and even the radical experiments I’ve tried—like full-body stem cell injections and gene therapy. Whether you’re just starting to explore the world of biohacking or you’re deep in the trenches, this episode offers a dynamic, India-inspired lens into what’s possible when tradition and innovation meet. Let’s dive in!

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.
