A Clinician’s Insight into Epigenetic Informed Medicine

It’s always a pleasure speaking with Dr. Habib, and in this podcast he doesn’t disappoint. His mantra of “The right treatment, for the right patient, at the right time” has revolutionized the way healthcare providers should approach clinical care. He takes an integrated approach to healthcare, and notes that Next Health is not “married” to a single treatment method or restricted by conventional medical training. His practice incorporates a wide array of techniques and methodologies to get to the root cause of disease. In addition, he uses the best tools in the healing arts to provide precision diagnosis, primarily drug-free treatment, and treatment success that far exceeds traditional medicine.

In this episode of the Everything Epigenetics podcast, Dr. Habib speaks with me about the details of integrating Epigenetic Methylation testing in his medical practice and how it changes his point of care when addressing aging, and why it’s critical that more healthcare providers transition from the current state of our health system (sick-care) towards a model which focuses on functional and preventative medicine.

In this podcast you’ll hear:

– Dr. Habib’s approach to functional medicine using Epigenetic Testing
– The journey of a functional medicine patient
– A discussion of how to be in charge of your own health
– The importance of trust between you and your healthcare provider
– The science behind growth being great (while you’re young)
– The benefits of temporary stress – as it relates to accelerated aging
– How glucose and blood flow plays a major role in the aging process
– About the need for healthcare providers to move from a disease/sick-care model towards a preventive, regenerative approach

Dr. Mahsin Habib began his medical journey in 1988 as a student at the University of Sheffield Medical School in England. Upon graduation in 1993, he began working at the Department of Accident and Emergency at Good Hope Hospital, and the Department of Psychiatry at Highcroft Hospital in the UK. In 1996, he left for the United States, accepting an externship in cardiology in Arizona and shortly thereafter an Internal Medicine Residency at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA.

Dr. Habib’s passion and determination for health and medicine began to evolve during his time in the US. In 2000, his residency ended and he began to work on a different approach integrating fitness and nutrition into  his professional practice. A year later, he founded Next Health, the first medical clinic to offer fitness, nutrition, and medical services under one roof. A few years later, he incorporated a weight loss program into the clinic’s offerings, and in 2006, he officially began practicing integrative medicine. 

Always seeking to innovate by leveraging the newest technologies and perspectives, he began offering a Food Inflammation Test (FIT) and Advanced Cardiac Test, as well as many other cutting-edge tools and techniques for his patients. This innovative spirit was, and is, buoyed by his sincere desire for healing by focusing on the root causes of disease. And his imagination fuels an irresistible aspiration that most doctors are not even aware of.

By 2014 he was able to test for early cancer markers, implement advanced genetic and telomere testing, and has demonstrated success in reversing biological age, which is the true pathway to optimal function while preventing disease. His journey culminated in 2015 when he trademarked the term “Rethink Medicine” and formed what came to be known as “The Executive Physical” and “Ultra Health Program” — comprehensive and customized healing solutions utilizing the most appropriate tools and technologies for his respective patients. This rethinking of health and medicine has truly disrupted the current medical industry, and has propelled Dr. Habib and Next Health to the forefront of integrative and regenerative medicine.

His passion to rethink medicine and to never be satisfied with the status quo makes him one of the most inquisitive and creative medical practitioners today. Dr. Habib sees what most every doctor sees, but thinks like no other. His “can-do” attitude and proactive approach to medicine and healing has served as the foundation for his practice, which can be summed up in three words: Predict, Prevent, Prolong.
