Think you’re doomed to whatever “runs in your family”?

THINK AGAIN. As it turns out, your genes do NOT determine your fate.

My guest and I agree that with the proper knowledge, you can live a long, healthy life – no matter your DNA. 

On this episode, I welcome back Kashif Khan, the founder of The DNA company – a company helping thousands decode their genes to optimize their health. 

Kashif Khan is CEO and Founder of The DNA Company, where personalized medicine is being pioneered through unique insights into human DNA. With the largest study of its kind globally, Kashif and his team has developed a functional approach to DNA interpretation overlaying environment, nutrition, and lifestyle on the genetic blueprint to create personalized health outcomes for those they serve.

Through their unique insights into your DNA, you also get real tangible steps to disrupt any “bad” genes that may cause health issues down the road.

Kashif and I share how nutrition, lifestyle and environment decisions impact our genetic function – and do a deep dive into MY DNA test results!
