One size does not fit all. We’ve all got different genes, and it’s this unique genetic code that determines what will be most favourable for our health and wellness, and what could send us spiralling into chronic disease.
So how can we decode the secrets hidden in our genome? How can we ensure that our lifestyle choices align with our DNA? And how can we unlock our genetic potential to live longer, feel better, and perform at our peak?
Enter Kashif Khan, CEO and founder of The DNA Company. Kashif is here to share how simple, at-home genetic testing can unlock the secrets of what your unique body and brain need to thrive — not just in terms of what foods and fitness options will suit you best, but even down to what career, entertainment and environment choices will help you feel and function at your peak. This is the future of human optimisation, and it’s happening now. And let me tell you, the possibilities are mind-blowing…
Kashif Khan is Chief Executive Officer and Founder of The DNA Company where personalized medicine is being pioneered through unique insights into the human genome. With the largest study of its kind globally, The DNA Company has developed a functional approach to genomic interpretation overlaying environment, nutrition and lifestyle on the genetic blueprint to create personalized and deterministic health outcomes.
Prior to his tenure at the DNA Company, Kashif participated in a number of high growth start-ups where he took an active role as an angel investor and advisor. As CEO of The DNA Company, Kashif later learned that his neural wiring was actually genetically designed to be entrepreneurial. He has since made it his mission to build The DNA Company into a business that has a global impact and whose success is measured not in dollars earned, but in lives improved.
In this fascinating episode, not only will you hear the tremendous amount of information that can be gleaned from your DNA, along with how these insights can be used to create a kind of “personalised instruction manual” to optimise every aspect of your life, you’ll also get to hear the results of my own personal genetic test. Hearing Kashif discuss my results triggered so many giant ‘aha’ moments for me — including the areas where I’m already giving my body exactly what it needs, as well as the areas where I need to step things up. It’s such valuable information, and I’m so excited to put these new insights into practice.
So if you want to discover why biohackers are frothing about this groundbreaking new technology, learn how being informed about your genes can help you radically transform your health, and hear Kashif breakdown the actual results of my own personal test, then pop in those earbuds… this one’s for you.
