Did you know your DNA can reveal exactly what diet, exercise, and supplements will work best for you?


In this episode, Kashif Khan, founder and CEO of the DNA Company, takes us through his personal health journey, including his struggles with eczema, gut issues, and burnout, and how DNA testing helped him find the right answers. 


By understanding how genes interact with our environment, lifestyle, and nutrition, Kashif learned to heal himself, and now he helps others optimize their health through the same science. 


From chronic disease prevention to understanding why certain diets work for some but not others, Kashif shares invaluable insights into how we can all take control of our health and longevity.



"Your DNA sits in the middle of environment, nutrition, and lifestyle. Your habits plus your genetics equal the net results." – Kashif Khan
