On the first episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down with cardiologist and Bollywood dance instructor Dr. Amar Shere to talk through some of his “heart-healthy hacks,” the healing power of a Bhangra beat, and then go deep peeling apart the celebrity hype from the actual health benefits of Ozempic and other semaglutides. We’ll also find out why Gabrus keeps getting tagged in group photos of Punjabi guys, and Pally learns the answer to the age-old question “it’s chill to do coke, right?” (Spoiler: No, Dr. Amar says please don’t do that). Keywords for this episode: Zoo Mass, Hunka Bunka, skinny-fat, French fry vegan, “Dance Yrself Clean,” Zoo Mass, high blood pressure, heart disease, calcified plaque, “Unfloss My Heart,” Zoo Mass, Memento, stress, anxiety, Adderall, boofing, Aura ring, Sleepytime tea, Zoo Mass, Lipoprotein little a, statins, Amlodipine, Olmesartan, Hamburger America, Zepbound, Sarcopenia, Dr Peter Attia, Zoo Mass. Follow Dr. Amar on TikTok: @tikheartdocFollow Dr. Amar on Insta: @amarsheremd This episode was recorded March 14, 2025 at SiriusXM studios in New York CitySpecial thanks to Jared O’ConnellStaying Alive is produced by Devon Torrey Bryant and Anne HarrisEngineered and edited by Devon Torrey Bryant, who also wrote the musicAssociate producer and video editor is Maddie McCannExecutive produced by Jon Gabrus, Adam Pally, Sean Hayes, Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Bernie Kaminski, and Rich Korson
