Calabasas, CA – The latest chapter in advanced wellness has landed in Southern California with the grand opening of Next Health Calabasas–Woodland Hills, a flagship destination designed for those serious about optimizing performance, extending healthspan, and hacking biology through science-backed interventions.
Brooke Burke’s Biohacking Journey
Wellness entrepreneur and longevity advocate Brooke Burke joined the launch, where she and fiancé Scott Rigsby sampled the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber, a staple protocol among elite biohackers. Later, Burke took the stage to share how she manages autoimmune challenges with proactive strategies — crediting Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) as one of the most transformative therapies in her personal toolkit.
Celebrities Turned Longevity Enthusiasts
The room buzzed with conversations about regenerative medicine and biohacking innovations:
-
Kristen Taekman (Real Housewives of New York) spoke with Next Health founder Dr. Darshan Shah about protocols like EBOO Therapy (extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation) and plasma exchange, both generating buzz for their detoxification and mitochondrial support benefits.
-
Actress Zina Wilde (Billions) and advocate Laurie Locklear joined wellness leaders in exploring the facility’s cutting-edge offerings.
A Toolbox for Optimizers
Dr. Darshan Shah described Next Health’s philosophy in terms of four verticals:
“We do functional medicine for gut health, toxins, and hormones; preventative health with advanced biomarker testing; biohacking protocols like cryo, hyperbaric, and red light; and longevity medicine, which includes peptides and plasma exchange. Everything is under one roof.”
Among the most exciting tools, Shah pointed to:
-
Plasma Exchange: “Think of it as an oil change for your body. In two hours, we filter out plasma where toxins accumulate, then replenish it with clean fluid. When combined with stem cells and hyperbaric oxygen, the protocol has been a game changer.”
-
Longevity Circuit: A stack that combines hot–cold contrast therapy, LED light therapy, IV drips (NAD+, Glutathione), and hyperbaric sessions to boost mitochondrial output, circulation, and cellular recovery.
-
Preventative Testing: Comprehensive panels to identify early markers of cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer — allowing interventions decades before traditional medicine.
Expansion at Scale
The Calabasas–Woodland Hills site is Next Health’s 12th clinic, with plans for 20 locations by year’s end and over 100 globally in the pipeline.
“We’re scaling rapidly because there’s a demand for this,” said Shah. “Longevity and biohacking are no longer niche — people want access to technologies that help them live better, longer, stronger.”
The Future of Human Optimization
The launch wasn’t just a party; it was a peek into where health is headed. With guests networking over nutrient-dense grazing tables, Caliwater cactus hydration, and matcha elixirs, the event embodied what Next Health is all about: blending community, science, and performance to extend both lifespan and healthspan.
For the biohacker community, the message was clear: Next Health isn’t simply another wellness center — it’s a high-tech ecosystem where longevity protocols meet lifestyle, and optimization is the baseline.
