-
Laurie Locklear and Zina Wilde (Billions) were also in attendance, lending support and celebrating the community-focused initiative.
Inside Next Health’s Offerings
During the event, Dr. Darshan Shah, a board-certified surgeon and visionary in the longevity space, provided insight into Next Health’s unique approach.
“Next Health has a very comprehensive set of offerings. We have something for everybody, basically. I look at it as four verticals: functional medicine, preventative health, biohacking, and longevity medicine,” Shah explained.
He went on to highlight the clinic’s groundbreaking therapies:
“Plasma exchange is definitely a game changer for people. We combine plasma exchange with stem cells and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and that protocol has been life-changing. Plasma exchange is like getting an oil change for your body—removing all the plasma, where toxins live, and replenishing it with healthy fluid.”
Beyond plasma exchange, Shah emphasized preventative testing for heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer, along with holistic support for gut health, toxins, and hormones.
The Vision: 100+ Clinics Worldwide
This Calabasas–Woodland Hills clinic marks Next Health’s 12th location, with more than 20 locations projected by the end of the year and over 100 globally in development.
“We’re on a mission to make these transformative services available worldwide,” Shah shared. “Everyone deserves the chance to not only live longer but to thrive in their daily lives.”
