Understanding and Interpreting Your Genetics

Would you believe your genes could predict what job you should do, how to manage family politics and what kind of intimate partner you would be most attracted to? I wasn’t sure about it, but I was blown away by the calling and confidence of my genetic expert guest today Kashif Khan. Yes, Kashif is a genetic detective, and has transformed lives by unpacking their biological code, but at the same time he also knows those genes are not your destiny and while genes can load the gun, it will still be how you live your life that pulls the epigenetic triggers.

Kashif Khan is Chief Executive Officer and Founder of The DNA Company, where personalised medicine is being pioneered through unique insights into the human genome. As Kashif dove into the field of functional genomics as the CEO of The DNA Company, it was revealed that his neural wiring was actually genetically designed to be entrepreneurial. However, his genes also revealed a particular sensitivity to pollutants. Seeing his health from a new lens Kashif dove further and started to see the genetic pathways that led to his own family’s challenges, and the opportunities to reverse chronic disease. His measure of success is not in dollars earned, but in lives improved.

Science outreach has become a passion project for Kashif, and he educates about functional genomics in an accessible format on his podcast, The Unpilled Podcast and his social media platforms.

He is also the author of the new book The DNA Way: Unlock the Secrets of Your Genes to Revere Disease, Slow Aging and Achieve Optimal Wellness.

Join us as we explore:

• Kashif’s pain-to-purpose story. Burdened by a variety of chronic conditions, Kashif discovered he was missing genes that made him particularly sensitive to environmental pollutants and with that knowledge not only reversed his chronic ailments but reversed his biological age.
• The incredible story of Kashif’s niece who out of nowhere began expressing extreme anxiety and inexplicable behaviour, and how Kashif used her genetics to unravel why! You won’t believe what the root cause was.
• Kashif’s more practical and applicable way of looking at biology and genetics, and why data is dumb unless you know how to interpret it and implement those insights into your life with real action.
• Is it possible that just 100 of our 22,000 genes are the ones that manifest chronic disease?
• Kashif’s mind-blowing claim that if he has your genetic profile he can tell whether you should be a doctor, lawyer or entrepreneur, and even what kind of entrepreneur you would be most suited to be, and as far as your relationship style and intimacy success.
• Why Kashif believes that despite the predictive and diagnostic potential of genes, the genetic paradox still exists, meaning genes are STILL not our destiny and we have the agency to express them into a state of health and thriving.
• An incredible fact about why the Finish population sauna so much, but don’t know why!
• Kashif and myself unpacking my genetic code, and what it means to my life past, present and future.
