The Future of Medicine: Longevity, Healing & the Body as a Sacred Temple
What if your body isn’t a machine to be managed — but a sacred, intelligent system designed to heal? In this powerful conversation, Tori sits down with Dr. Manoj Sharma, a board-certified internal medicine physician, Chair of Internal Medicine at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, and founder of Elite Medical Associates. With over two decades in critical care, hospital leadership, and concierge longevity care, Dr. Sharma offers a grounded, expansive perspective on the future of healing. They explore why the current healthcare system is struggling, how silent metabolic dysfunction accelerates aging, and what it means to treat the body as a temple, not a problem to fix. This is a conversation for anyone seeking truth, clarity, and agency over their long-term health and vitality.
