As a mechanical engineer he spent the first 10 year of his career designing “biomimetic” turbomachinery products to reduce energy consumption, and then going on the road to spread the word about them. It was amidst this transition from engineering to sales that he realized his true calling – helping people become better teammates and better versions of themselves, and for the last 13 years he’s been working up and down the organizational hierarchy with managers, directors, VPs, and now mostly the C-suite to create high performing cultures, and highly effective leaders. His coaching clientele currently include Founders and CEOs of venture- and PE-backed companies, as well as Directors at Google and designers at Apple.Onno has also led hundreds of hours of group trainings at various blue collar, white collar and NGO organizations on topics such as giving & receiving Feedback, building Trust, holding each other more Accountable, and adjusting rapidly to change.

On Episode 162 we dive deep into transformation and the courage it takes to rewrite your own story. Our guest, Dr. Shah Ahmed, shares his remarkable journey from growing up in a tight-knit immigrant family in Brooklyn, through his successful career in neuroanesthesiology at NYU, to the bold leap he took in leaving academic medicine to pursue a more holistic, proactive approach to health.In this episode, Shah opens up about the mindset shifts and bounce-back moments that defined his path—whether it was conquering his first marathon as a father and entrepreneur or navigating the challenges and realizations that inspired his philosophy of preventative wellness.

After years in academic medicine, he transitioned to community practice on Long Island, where his focus has evolved from putting patients to sleep to helping them wake up to the best version of themselves.Shah's journey into wellness was personal before it became professional. When his wife was expecting their first child, he realized I wasn’t in the shape—physically or mentally. He dove deep into nutrition, strength, and longevity science, ultimately shedding over 25 pounds of fat while holding onto lean muscle. That experience showed him how powerful personalized health strategies can be. Today, he brings that same approach to his clients: blending traditional medical expertise with modern tools like advanced labs, DEXA body composition scans, and hormone optimization to create individualized plans that actually work.Shah studied at Cornell University, earned his medical degree at the University of Rochester, and completed his anesthesiology residency at NYU, where he served as Chief Resident. Those years taught him precision, discipline, and how to stay calm under pressure, skills he now applies to guiding patients through long-term health transformations.His practice, Weight Loss and Vitality, is based in Riverhead, where he lives with his wife and their two young sons. At the heart of his work is a simple belief: good health isn’t about chasing numbers, it’s about building a life strong enough to carry you through the decades ahead. That means balancing the science of medicine with the art of daily living—nutrition, sleep, exercise, and purpose.More on Mile 40: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https:mile40podcast.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: @mile40podcast @bishoy_tadrosYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BishoyTadrosPurchase Your Copy of Break Barriers OR Audacious Today - Use Code MILE40 for 20% off: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bishoytadros.com
