What if everything you thought you knew about healthcare was just scratching the surface? Dr. Nas takes us on a remarkable journey from traditional medicine to functional wellness, revealing why conventional healthcare often falls short of truly optimizing health.

Growing up in a family of Iraqi immigrant doctors in the UK, Dr. Nas was destined for medicine from an early age. But it wasn't until he found himself staring out his rainy GP office window—funeral home on one side, discount supermarket on the other—that he realized he needed a drastic change. His move to the UAE opened doors to practicing functional medicine, an approach that examines how interconnected body systems influence overall health.

"Your hormones influence your immune system, your gut influences your hormones, your mental health influences everything else," Dr. Nas explains, highlighting why treating isolated symptoms often fails to address root causes. This comprehensive perspective has proven particularly valuable for patients suffering from unexplained symptoms that conventional medicine couldn't resolve, including the surge in mold-related illnesses following UAE flooding.

The conversation delves into cutting-edge topics including the proper use of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic (hint: it's not just about prescribing), the science behind peptide therapies for inflammation and recovery, and how stem cells actually work (no, they don't magically transform into new tissue). Dr. Nas debunks common misconceptions while providing practical insights on evaluating regenerative treatments: "If someone asked me for the sterility check of a peptide or the purity, I'd be able to provide it. Anyone who blocks it or refuses to give you that information—why would you trust the product?"

Perhaps most refreshingly, Dr. Nas reminds us that despite exciting advances in biohacking and regenerative medicine, the foundations remain surprisingly simple: "95% of longevity is eating right, exercising, sleeping, managing stress, and making sure your nutrients are topped up."
