In this powerful kickoff to the Own Your Core series, host Ludwig Araujo of Youngry sits down with Samir Shah, PharmD, CEO & Founder, and Niraj Patel, DO, MBA, Advisor & Founder, to unpack the personal stories, professional insights, and defining moments that led to the creation of Core Control.
This isn’t just the origin story of a supplement—it’s the spark behind a wellness movement.
Samir shares the frustrations he experienced firsthand as a healthcare provider—watching patients fall through the cracks of a reactive medical system. He reveals the moment he realized that long-term health needed to be built outside the walls of the clinic—and how Core Control became his vehicle for proactive, preventative care.
Niraj brings in his experience from the performance world and health-tech space, outlining the market gaps that inspired him to help shape a brand that prioritizes integrity, transparency, and daily impact. He also shares how his own journey with self-discipline and wellness fueled his commitment to making this more than just another product on the shelf.
Together, they discuss:
What “taking control” means in a distracted, over-marketed health landscape
Why the wellness industry is flooded with misinformation and fads
The science and intention that shaped Core Control’s formula
Who this product was designed for—and how it fits into real life
This episode sets the tone for the entire Take Control Science mission: to empower people to own their well-being with smarter tools, deeper insight, and relentless accountability.
Whether you’re a wellness beginner or deep into your own transformation, this is a grounded, honest look at how one simple idea—“What if we made a supplement that actually helps people take charge?”—became a movement.
