As we age, we often associate the decline in our health and wellness to our genes. We believe that our genes dictate our destiny and that we are helpless to the inevitable decline of our bodies. However, Kashif Khan, founder and CEO of the DNA Company and the author of the book "The DNA Way,” challenges this notion. He believes that we can unlock the potential of our genes and use them to achieve optimal health and wellness.
Kashif shares his journey towards discovering the root cause of his health issues and how he made simple lifestyle changes that led to significant improvements in his health. His company spent three years sitting down with 7,000 patients to understand their healthcare history and problems, resulting in an easy-to-understand report that outlines what's wrong and how to fix it, combining information on problems such as anxiety and depression with an individual's genetic makeup.
His book, The DNA Way, provides a comprehensive guide
to understanding one's genetics and optimizing health, empowering
individuals to take control of their health by highlighting the
importance of making lifestyle changes and taking actionable steps
to prevent disease. Khan's personal experience and expertise in
genetics make this book an informative and valuable resource for
anyone looking to improve their health.
